Comics have always been a form of advertising/propaganda for the military so it makes sense it would continue into the movies https://www.insideover.com/politics/captain-marvel-the-latest-propaganda-collaboration-between-the-military-and-the-mcu.html I know about the comic thing. But had no idea that it continued with the movies. I mean I don't really follow Hollywood movies that closely, I mostly care about indie flicks and only every now and then watch Hollywood movies for some light-hearted entertainment. So this is brand new to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely curious, because it just seemed like a fun no-brainer superhero movie. What's wrong with it? Well you see, because it has the word "America" in it, and Amerikkkans are all imperialist dogs, so there u go It also has the words "Civil War" in the title. And civil wars are happening in many places! Coincidence? I think not My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel? The people pulling the strings here? Chris is just an actor... the man (to his credit) has been very vocal on his political stance for a good few years, he's an ally... attacking him feels redundant. And furthermore... Twitter lambasting people like this just feels SO tone-deaf given what's actually going on right now. Honestly, antics like these are partially to blame for people being pushed into eating up far-right rhetoric. I'm about as far left as you can get, but the "woke brigade" are very much a thing... As opposed to attacking the people at the heart of the problem, we're going to go and complain about Chris f*cking Evans. Give me a break. Please.

I don’t give a sh*t about Chris Evans, i’m just saying Marvel is on some level imperialistic propaganda and it’s hardly a secret or conspiracy, it’s literally publicly available information that the pentagon requests script changes in exchange for the movies getting to use locales, props, funding, etc. Don’t worry, Chris Evans is still rich af and i’m Sure we didn’t hurt his feelings by acknowledging reality. Also I despise Disney with my entire heart and soul lol, they’re pretty evil themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaSine 7,464 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I love when people claim to be leftist but have zero leftist values and find it necessary to defend rich men who made a career from shilling for the US military, y’know the organization that murders kids overseas and rapes their own service members, against uh... tweets??? And mild comments on a lady gaga forum? Leftist basically has no meaning anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 76,234 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The way y'all are blaming superhero movies for inciting violence at the United States Capitol is beyond insane. This is like blaming videogames, music, TV shows, etc. for causing violence. Plenty of people have seen these movies and aren't Trump supporters or have taken part in these disgusting riots. You take it upon these terrorists who have hateful points of view and project themselves onto ****ing superhero movies, not actors who are getting paid to wear a spandex suit 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaSine 7,464 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 People would really benefit from reading the book “Conflict is not Abuse”, because criticism and analysis is not cancelling, nor is it harming this wealthy man who could probably crush my skull with ease. It’s just reality. No one is saying he should be tried for war crimes. It’s just a fact that Marvel is used to promote the military. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
