Despite falling out of love with the MCU very quickly after endgame (I literally only watched. Like two of the films, hawkeye & FATWS after endgame) I’ve been looking forward to seeing more of Sam and the Captain America legacy. And instead of listening to literally anyone’s protests and complaints marvel decided to change the character that no one wanted in the film, to a basically pointless character that people still don’t want in the film, all to keep the actress that people are protesting in the film?
Fuck you marvel frfr.
It really upsets me that Sam and Anthony finally get a movie to focus on and showcase them, but it's marred by Marvel's decision to put Sabra, a very anti-Palestinian character, in there.
I understand why people are calling for a boycott of it, but it's just upsetting, because Anthony and Sam deserved a good movie about them.
Well put. (Source: Writing About Writing Facebook page)
One of the funny things about LotR is that almost every people in it professes to disbelieve in the supernatural, but because they live in a fantasy world their baseline for "natural" is so jacked up. The Rohirrim are like, yeah, there's a wizard in this tower and ancient tradition that we have no reason to doubt says this mountain is full of ghosts, but walking trees? Short people? I don't think so. Galadriel is like, "Listen I heard you describe what I do as magic and look I just gotta clear some things up, okay." Gondorians are like, yeah, of course the Enemy has spectres of men who lived long ago and never died and can now fly above us and incapacitate us with just their voices. This is just a fact of life, okay? But shut up about this magic weed that makes comatose people better. That's an old wives' tale. Royalty? Press X to doubt.
The people group in Tolkien's work who seem most receptive to magic and least restricted by their own notions of what it can do actually seem to be the hobbits. And they use it to avoid meeting people they don't want to talk to

People who hate Frodo Baggins are my enemy. "He didn't do anything and was useless"--yeah, okay, so what you're not understanding is that he was the sacrificial lamb. He endured physical, mental, and emotional torment that got worse and worse as his will broke. Everyone knew this. EVERYONE KNEW THIS. That's why everyone was devastated about it. Because Frodo was the most innocent among them, that was the entire point. He represented ordinary peaceful people being destroyed by the horrors of war. And as a hobbit he also represented some of the last vestiges of magic in what was basically a post magic apocalypse.
Frodo was basically an innocent puppy thrown into the Torment Nexus so that EVERYONE ELSE could maybe have a hope of surviving. And he did that willingly. HE DID IT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, KNOWING IT WOULD RUIN HIM.
Frodo haters won't see the light of heaven
The BDS movement has called for a boycott of Captain America 4 because of the character of Sabra, an Israeli superhero who kills Palestinians, played by ex IDF soldier Shira Haas, an anti-Palestinian actress who has made propaganda for Israel.

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."
Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.
Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.
It’s just funny to me that when Bobby gives Buck advice, it’s generally works out for Buck. He’s better for it. But whenever Bobby gives Eddie advice, the universe just tries to explode Eddie.
