I'm disappointed in the Left's lack of priority in their overall takes on the current Israel/Palestine conflict (hexbear.net)

Captain America: Brave New World is coming out in 2024 (next year), and the MCU is introducing the character, Sabra. In case you didn't click the link, Sabra is an Israeli superhero that basically wears the Israel flag as her costume.

This conflict could delay the movie since marvel likes calling their Captain America movies "political thrillers". I am so mad why would Hamas do this. Now, Marvel has to restructure their film so that it's not outdated. Sadly, the budget is going to go through the roof now since they have to add like an hour-and-a-half of CGI of Captain Israel going 9/11 on buildings and hospitals in Gaza.

I just want the fighting to end so we can go back to how things were before, capekino paradise.

I understand how Brave New World will be perceived as functionally less anti-Semitic, but do either of these titles (New World Order) even make sense as references to the MCU? I might have only watched 1 or 2 old MCU movie in the last 5 years.

I only remember 2 things, first is that grimdark Grimace snaps his fingers and everybody becomes sand, also the one where they (hopefully unintentionally) rehabilitated nazis by saying "no actually the bad stuff was hydra and some guy who rips his face off for no reason".

I don't think they ever suggest in the movies that Hydra were the driving force behind the Nazi's atrocities.

If anything, the Hydra plot in later films outright states that the US government had been run not just by fascists, but by actual Nazis since at least the end of WWII.
