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 Now, Marvel has to restructure their film so that it's not outdated.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.

in the comics, she is a member of the Mossad, and many of the Arab characters she interacts with are portrayed as misogynistic, antisemitic and violent

"She was raised on a special kibbutz run by the Israeli government after her power manifested. Ruth was the first superhuman agent to serve with the Mossad (the Israeli secret service). She became a police officer in addition to serving as a government agent."

what-the-hell

In late 2024 the woman f-15 eagle pilot with the most hospital kills in the IDF is going to be nicknamed Sabra and all the little girls are going to look up to her

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

Uhhh somehow this reminded me of some old US propaganda...

what was the name of the woman the US used for propaganda in the iraq war a billion years ago?

Remember the one where they made a story about how she was a war hero and she was held prisoner in a hospital so we 'rescued' her in an operation but it turned out she was just being treated for her injuries? you remember her name? Im gonna see if i can dig that up (even tho it's not super relevant)

Forgot to add this in, but for like a year the title was actually "Captain America: New World Order"

Funniest shit, it was speculated they changed the title because of...antisemitic connotations agony

[-] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago

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".

[-] Saeculum@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

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.

lmfao kind of hate you for this one but good post

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Death to her, and death to Captain America too. Only shit I give a damn about out of Marvel is the X-Men, and when it became apparent they couldn't be used to sell wars to the consumption-poisoned, the propagandists at the top decided they'd bounce their asses and relegate them back to comics-only for these cracker-assed 'Avengers'. Man fuck out of here; I'd rather watch DC at this point. Capeshit has gotten so depressingly obvious about its Pentagon funding that I went back to raw bloody gore-horror.

[-] GottiGoFast@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

She's a mutant so don't be surprised they make her an important part initially for the MCU's X-Men.

I can see exactly how they could do it and I hate it.

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 11 months ago

No no no no no no no no. Keep that genocidal ghoul out of the X-Men. If they have Magneto 'finding solidarity' with her somehow, I'm throwing out my Brotherhood of Mutants stuff and finally writing off the LAST of what I can tolerate out of Marvel, no cap. I'm not gon bullshit, that's the kind of soft-ass lib shit Xavier would go for.

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

Magneto 'finding solidarity' with her

Oh no you motherfucker, you’ve made me think of this timeline ohhhh I hate it. You’d better not have lathe’d this into reality…

It's worse, actually she's named after a massacre of Palestinians which the hummus is also named after

[-] newmou@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Jfc

"Sabra and Shatila are the names of two Palestinian camps in Lebanon where, from Sept. 16 to Sept. 18 in 1982, a Lebanese Christian militia massacred hundreds of residents. Israeli troops had allowed the militia to enter the camps, and Israeli commanders issued no orders to stop the carnage."

[-] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

Yeah, named after grainy ass supermarket hummus.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

Hummus should be like twinks, smooth and will fuck your ass up

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Where are y'all finding these twink tops y'all talk about? On god every twink I've ever known has been a bottom and I eventually had to stop fuckin with them because they were seeming always either on some fetishist shit or had the three no's at the top of their grindr profile

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Trans women are hoarding all the bi twinks very-smart

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 35 points 11 months ago

Imagine naming your superhero after a brand of hummus

[-] Orannis62@hexbear.net 39 points 11 months ago

It's worse, she (and the hummus company) is essentially named Settler

Ah crap is that hummus ive been buying made by an Israeli company?

"Until 2010, the Strauss Group (bought Sabra in 2005) stated on their English-language website that the company donated food packages to the Golani Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces."

Also I just want to say all this marvel shit is so low effort in terms of writing. How hard is it to come up with original stories and characters without scraping the sides of the comic book churn?

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 48 points 11 months ago

defunding humanities education for all but the idle rich, an extreme statistical minority, has an affect on cultural output.

They want to be serious with the title but, like, not serious in the actual movie.

God this movie might be a new level of lib nerd redditor cringe, which I didn't even think was possible at this late stage of the MCU. Imagine a scene with Sabra spouting epic Whedonisms while beating the shit out of Durka Durka Jihad caricatures.
