Good for her.
…still not watching the movie, but good for her!
At the very least, fight against the shitty misinformation and slander campaign against her.
Free Palestine & fuck the Zionists and all, but her trying to shit on the original story and endorsing a twisted & misguided feminist story is what irks me about her. Do a movie about women empowerment, no problem with that. Why ruin a classic to that end though?
Blame Disney for making her say shit like that, it was very clearly a form of marketing for the money and it wasn’t the first nor last will be the last time Disney has its live action cast members talk shit about the OG version.
Moreover, the comment wasn’t even really “shitting” on it either. People spreading that clearly only heard about it online. IIRC, she just called it outdated and that Prince Charming is weird, even if she wasn’t coached to say that somehow, she’s entitled to have opinions.
did you know the older versions still exist? you can watch/read and enjoy medieval morals at any time
My students said it was awful. They actually like the actress in that role, btw, but just… Everything else is awful.
It’s a live-action Disney remake. They’re all shit.
You shouldn’t, live* action re-creations are so lazy
I guiltily admit i do watch them as background noise years after they’ve been released to make sure they suck. They typically do, though I’ve heard The Jungle Book live remake wasn’t bad.
IMO The Little Mermaid live action remake was pretty good. They made the love interest make more sense, not just the guy going “pretty girl is pretty” and also I liked that
spoiler
it was her who killed the sea witch at the end and not the guy.
IMO that made for a more well rounded ending.
As for the others, I’ve se Beauty and The Beast and wasn’t impressed but have watched none of the others because all of them live in an uncanny valley I don’t want to visit.
I always thought the Beauty and the Beast remake was great. Lilo and Stitch trailer looks amazing.
Believe it or not, Lady and the Tramp was a surprisingly good live-action-ish remake. Maybe my expectations were low as it wasn’t released in theaters, but I enjoyed it more than the bigger budgeted ones.
Cruella wasn’t too bad.
Agreed. Loved it so much I saw it twice.
But to be fair—it was a prequel—not a remake.
But, it was an animated recreation from an older story to start. Recreations happen all the time. Lazy? I suppose, but why would it be lazy and not the initial copy?
Is she in the US? Has anyone checked on her recently?
Let’s be honest here people, She’s virtue-signalling in order to trick people into watching her horrible movie.
thats fine with me.
So… you’re gonna watch her movie ?
Yes… as I sail the seven seas.
Good man
eh, yeah, but she’s at least saying a good (yet somehow controversal) thing, so i don’t care if her alterior motive is money
Even though she doesn’t mean it ?
hey, if even one person sees that and changes their view, net gain
I will remember her name and will never watch a movie with her. Fuck terrorists and their supporters
She supported Palestinians. Not the IDF. She’s doing the opposite of supporting terrorists.
Where did she support terrorists? Major self-report my dude…
Guess you won’t be watching any movies with Gal Gadot then.
I dont know him/her so i guess yes
Why shouldn’t any country be free?
There is no Country, they want a country and choose terrorism as their way.
They’re a country, with a flag and a government and everything. Not sure you ever knew that but there ya go.
Not sure their status matters anyway here, either.
So again, why shouldn’t any country be free?
Well there are other fantasy Communitys aswell.
No big country says there is a country like that. So yeah have fun in ur larp game but dont be a pain in the neck. Btw forza israel, we stand with u
You are mistaken, she was supporting Palestine, not the IDF.
Ahh the big fantasystate which stands for terrorism, sounds good
Yeah I already said IDF/Israel, what are you trying to say?
Ahh ok u are stupid, that explains it. Ty dont waste my rime anymore.
What do you mean? You said she supports the terrorist state but she supports Palestine. It seems you were mistaken thinking she supports the terrorist IDF.
that’s gonna be a long list with all the people who support the terrorist state of israel
So fuck Israel and Russia and the United States, then, according to your own logic.
Sooo… Fuck the USA?
I’ve lost any respect for Zegler
I didn’t know conservatives were capable of respecting a woman at all.
Conservative? Are you assuming I’m a conservative? Because you would be wrong.
This you?
Damm that was TODAY LMAO
Aye caramba
Also you?I am glad to be here where these people get called out
They get called out on Reddit too. Downvote them to oblivion.
Are you assuming I’m a conservative? Because you would be wrong.
Maybe someone looked at your comment history.
Lmao you got destroyed hahaha
To the ignorant, sure
lol cry harder dumb dumb
So nothing of value was lost?
Uh, you mean the one thing actors/actresses live for?
Your respect? lol main character much?
Removed by mod
How do you do that?
Not sure if there is another way. But Sync Ultra has an option to tag users with whatever you want. It’s a paid feature though. $2/month, $16/year or $99 for lifetime.
You can do it for free on !summit@lemmy.world and I think !voyagerapp@lemmy.world too?
Also boost
Touch grass, homie.
And I’ve lost any respect for you
I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.
Saying “free Palestine” does not equal “down with Israel and the Jews”. Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.
down with Israel and the Jews
See, now you lost all credibility. There’s no honest reason whatsoever to add “and the Jews” to that sentence.
Israel is not “the Jews”.
What? They weren’t actually making that argument, you realize that right? I think you’re literally agreeing with them.
Yes they are, reread the comment. They’re making a boring logical platitude, but they’re equating Israel with “the Jews” in a way that’s irrelevant to their point.
Again, there was no honest reason to add “and the Jews” to their comment other than to equate Israel with Jewish people in general. That’s a tactic used by pro-genocide people to accuse anyone that protests Israel of being anti-Semitic.
No, they were summarizing the position of the people that they disagree with… Like you see the quotes, right? This isn’t what they say or believe. It’s pretty clear to me, from that one single comment, that they 100% don’t equate Israel with “the Jews.” It’s like the entire point of their comment.
Maybe go back and reread what they said?
While that may be true, nobody saying “free Palestine” has a positive view of Israel, do they?
I don’t have a positive view of a lot of countries, especially ones that are actively murdering men, women, and children but I am not advocating for the destruction or death to the inhabitants of those countries.
You are making yet another false equivalency. “Please stop murdering people and grant them freedom from oppression” does not equate to “I wish to see you and everyone around you dead”.
While that may be true, nobody saying “free Poland” has a positive view of Germany, do they?
I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern… That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.
I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.
I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.
I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.
What makes you think we’ll ever get past this? It’s been going on since the founding of the state of Israel.
That’s a fair question. I guess I just hope (and do what I can) for a better future
The twit was ‘and always remember, free palestine.’
Do you consider that to be hating on Israel?
Is hating on the Holocaust hating on the Nazis?
As melon-scratchers go, that’s a honeydoodle!
I don’t view it that way, but Walt Disney definitely would.
It’s hard to say…there’s this thing where a ton of people hate Jews but love Israel
I’ve seen no indication whatsoever that this person hates Israel.
I meant more along the lines of the episode of Family Guy where Peter shoots Cleveland Jr. On accident and Carter supports Peter because he shot a black person.
Why?
You realize taking all the Jewish people out of Europe and putting them somewhere like the Middle East was one of the Nazis original plans…
Right?
If you didn’t know that, you’d probably be constantly confused with why all types of Nazis are supporting Israel in 2025
Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don’t really care what he would think
Yea, just not for the correct reasons.
