Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

Disney+ specifically I’m pretty sure, not even all of Disney

It's confusing since they only directly mention that Captain America movie. Maybe they've updated something, but I'm too stupid to find it.

Disney

The Disney-owned Marvel Studios (US) is promoting in the next Captain America film a “superhero” that personifies apartheid Israel. Both companies are therefore complicit in “anti-Palestinian racism, Israeli propaganda, and the glorification of settler-colonial violence against Indigenous people,” as Palestinian cultural organizations have stated.

That aside, I'd boycott the mouse shrug-outta-hecks

Yeah she was named (in 1980) for the prickly pear, but there was a massacre at Sabra and Shatila in 1982 Lebanon of Palestinians and Shia-Lebanese by Christian militias aided by the IDF. Marvel never changed her name.

Sabra

The shitty hummus?

Some obscure Zionist super hero that has lots of racist depictions of Middle Easterners as terrorists https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Ruth_Bat-Seraph_(Earth-616)

Isn't Israel in the Middle East?

I'll give you a hint, they're not depicting Israelis as terrorists in those awful comics (despite being the ones committing a genocide)
