The Boys is supposed to be satire.
7101334@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The Boys is also Zio slop, Frenchy was an IOF soldier (war criminal settler terrorist) who bragged about ripping a child away from her family.

I can almost guarantee you Garth Ennis isn’t a zionist.
Do you think William Wallace hates jews?

So, because a single actor had a dark past, the entire thing is ruined?

Read the comics, much better and anti gov.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Well then, this explains a lot.
Israeli zionosts seem to have a case of Mel Gibson syndrome… They seem extremely violent, and they like to make violent ass movies and shows.
I’m not a prude, I watch violent stuff, but wonder woman and the boys are just… Too far. Like, you can tell they’re a little too fucked up.

Isn’t this from Wonder Woman?

There’s a scene in one of the DC movies where a german sniper is hiding ontop of a church in a french village
Ever the pillar of restraint and decorum, Wonder Woman takes down the entire fucking church to kill this one soldier

Hollywood is fully integrated into the military-industrial complex. Inflicting disproportional damage on the population of whoever the enemy is is how The Great US Empire wages war. So that is what the population at home is meant to support. So that is what is shown to the young, easy to influence generations.

I know. It is indeed a wonder when a film like Parasite slips under their radar, and they suddenly have to scramble to make sure the director doesn’t get too direct with their messaging in their next film
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
i mean they are the copaganda/militaryganda arm of the MIC. Transformers is pretty much all militaryganda and very little actual robots action.
Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Indeed, Hollywood make the directors of the “Wochenschau” (june 1940 to March 1945) look like kindergartners and they learned from them too.

Then put a whole battalion up there or something, make it clear that she cleared out a whole sniper nest, not just one guy
Katana314@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I mean, the easy answer is all Hollywood action movies contain gratuitous destruction for the sake of visual interest.
It was honestly my first thought as a kid: “Oh my god! That guy’s food stall was completely destroyed by that car! What will he do now? Is there anyone he can call to get it replaced?”
The simpler answer is to accept cinema violence is a childish thoughtless moment anyway, and we shouldn’t compare it too much to real life. But in Gadot’s case, I suppose gratuitous destruction fits very much with her home country’s philosophy.

But as I’m learning lately as I get settled in on Lemmy, some people here will take any opportunity to stretch things to their soapbox.

This is pretty silly. Superhero movies constantly feature superheroes and supervillains causing mass property damage. Superman will be thrown through buildings. Cars will be used as throwing weapons, etc.
It’s a deliberate cinematic choice. Superheroes just flying in the sky punching each other doesn’t convey the power involved in these characters. No, if you want to portray superheroes in a way that actually feels real to people, you need to show them interacting with our ordinary world. You show them treating things we experience as solid, indestructible, and immobile as mere tissue paper.
This is just “show, don’t tell.” Sure, you could have some character verbally explain that “Superman has the strength of a million men!”, but if all you saw was Superman fighting in a cloud or an empty field, that wouldn’t really mean much. You can’t feel it. Watch Superman casually pick up a skyscraper, and suddenly your mind can actually grasp the scale of his power.
tetris11@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
I hear you whilst defending superman in the sense that, he’s either chucked through a populated building against his will to highlight the monstrosity of his assailants, or he chucks buildings with the implication that they’re empty.
In this WW scene, it’s shown to be a populated church. It just rings odd for me w.r.t to these unwritten rules of hollywood destruction that Im hyperfixated on
marcos@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
One should not ever wonder what the writers of Wonder Woman movies were thinking.
If that one is what bothering you, consider yourself lucky and move on.
YawningNostalgia@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
I watched it just now and it’s just generic action movie slop? Do you get your panties in a twist when they destroy NYC landmarks in Avengers movies? It was just Nazis shooting at the good guys and them beating them in a fight.
This is so funny and emblematic of the way you people think. In this dumb movie, they are being shot at, and you wanted the character to not fight back because she needs to preserve the architecture? In the exact same way, you think real Jewish people should lay down and die if Palestinians get mad at them. Stunning

MML@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Why is she terrible? I could Google, but make it well known?
chaogomu@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Blind support of Israel, served in the IDF.
I’m sure there’s more, but I never liked any movie she was in so never bothered to learn more.
YawningNostalgia@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
She’s not terrible she’s just a random actress with charm and beauty. The people who are always yelping about palestine will convince you she’s a war criminal. Like her if you want or don’t

Despite the fact that Lemmy / Reddit whinge about her constantly I guarantee most of the public doesn’t know she has these views at all.
That movie will show up on prime or where ever as another mediocre entry and old people will watch it and continue on with their day.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 3 weeks ago
I’m on lemmy and have no idea who you’re talking about or what views.
So yeah most people are still going to watch it and not even be aware of the controversy.
Before anyone starts to accuse me of supporting something, no I’m not going to watch that movie as it seems to be just another superhero movie and those ended with infinity war for me.
yucandu@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t watch Seinfeld because he’s an insufferable rich guy who hates the common man.

I watched it in the 90s before all this shit came out. He wasn’t even one of the funny characters, I watched it for elaine and George.

Not gonna let that antisemitic remark go. There are assholes and good guys in most groups (I ain’t looking in the nazis, someone else can do that shit if they want). If you think their belonging to an ethnic group is a possible sign of an issue, then you’re just a bigot.
Cause, what the actual fuck, dude?

“Some of them are good” is something people say about Black people too. Just like people who align with your morals, don’t say that only some Jews are okay, that’s nasty work

I was pretty disgusted with the first movie she was in. The original wonder woman movie.
She was this super powered killing machine just WASTING humans left and right. Just seemed insanely fucked up.
Objection@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
What’s crazy is that after she killed all these drafted soldiers in a morally grey war, with no hesitation, suddenly there’s this whole moral line drawn about killing someone who’s actively committing war crimes and fully intending to prolong the war and keep making chemical weapons.
YawningNostalgia@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
I didn’t watch it. I just saw a couple of her interviews and she was super pretty and charming. I watched a clip of the no man’s land scene from that movie and it was pretty cool. Not into superhero flicks unfortunately

Why I don’t celebrity worship, because not only meeting one’s idols is a bad idea, but also the possibility of them betraying.

kal-el no? thats probably her best line.
LouNeko@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t think it was nepoism, it’s just that Hollywood had like a 5 year phase when they tried to jam actual super models into lead roles. Remember Cara Delevigne and Ruby Rose, they can’t act to save their lives, but were all a thing for a second or two.
