The chokehold 2012 Avengers tower fanfiction has on me is insane
On the topic of Disney boycotts, Marvel's Captain America 4, titled Captain America: Brave New World (previously titled Captain America: New world order.)
Will be the MCU debut of the superhero, Sabra.
An Israeli superhero, sponsored by the Israeli government.
Sabra aka Ruth Bat-Seraph made her comics debut in 1981 working for what's basically the Israeli secret service.
The comic cover she first appeared in, The Incredible Hulk #256, depicts her blasting the Hulk as a dead Palestinian boy lays in the rubble.
With the caption: Power and Peril in the Promised Land!
The Palestinian boy, called Sahad who was depicted as an illiterate theif was stealing a watermelon from a fruit cart in Tel Aviv.
That Sabra sees as inhuman until the Hulk convinced her otherwise. "It had taken the Hulk to make her see this dead Arab boy as a human being."
Disgusting.
Doesn't even refer to him as Palestinian.
Sabra also shares the same name as the Sabra and Shalita Massacre in Lebanon.
A massacre that many agree Israel holds responsibility for allowing.
And yes, Sabra was created before this atrocity but that doesn't mean they aren't associated with each other years later. Especially with Israel's involvement.
See Israel who are also currently bombing Lebanon.
Marvel has stated they will go with a new appprach for Sabra.
But Marvel is owned by Disney. The same company who donated Israel 2 million dollars...yeah I'm sure you're gonna make her less like an Israeli propaganda machine.
An IDF soilder is not a hero, start there.
i love how buck is just the communist bugs bunny meme in relation to eddie over and over again.
eddie in 2x02: this is my son.
buck:
maddie in 3x11: you need to bring food when you're a guest in someone's house.
buck:
eddie in 5x13: this is what my breakdown looks like
buck:
the best thing? the best thing is that eddie loves it because he is just as bad lmao
buck is like "our son" and eddie is like "yeah, duh, you're in my will." buck is like "eddie's house is my house" and eddie's like "your name has been on the lease for years." buck is like "our breakdown" and eddie nods and agrees "yeah let me cry by your bedside while you're in a coma wishing WE were sharing a coma."
Little miss Captain Israel, local Zionist and Mossad spy that kills Palestinains, is getting her film debut with an Israeli Zionist actress! Nobody cheered!
Boycott Captain America: Brave New World when it comes out 🙃
"How do you brainstorm your ideas and stories?"
Listen, man, I've been using thinking about fictional characters and their problems to avoid thinking about The Horrors since I was single digits in age. I have no idea how to start. Nor do I know how to stop. The inside of my head is constant "what ifs". I just made them fun instead of horrifying.
In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.
Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.
And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.
With the release of the "Captain America: Brave New World" trailer, I think it's important to remind people that we're not going to be seeing this movie
And it has nothing to do with Sam. I love Sam with all my heart, I love him as Cap, Sam is not the problem here
What is the problem is the character of Sabra, right down here played by actress Shira Haas
Sabra is literally just Israeli propaganda, that's all she is, this is not an exaggeration. She is a character who represents the state of Israel, and to her credit, she does that very well, because she does not see Palestinian people as human. It took the Hulk telling her that killing innocents is bad for her to realize, "oh... so Palestinian children matter?"
I'm being serious, this is from her first appearance:
And even if Israel wasn't commiting genocide right now, her being in the movie is bad enough due to the extremely negative representations of Palestinian and Arab people
I don't care if Marvel says they're "reworking" her, Sabra represents the genocidal state of Israel and no matter how much they change her, that is what she will always be
"Reworking" my ass, you still casted an Israeli actress for her
If you care about Palestine, you should not be seeing this movie. If needed, pirate it, but do not watch this movie in theaters
We're not supporting this, end of story
Will be boycotting but I can be sad about it.
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.
