Good for her.
…still not watching the movie, but good for her!
- 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.
  
  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?
- 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?
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 ?
- 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 ?
I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.
- 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.

  What makes you think we'll ever get past this? It's been going on since the founding of the state of Israel.
- 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?
  
  I don’t view it that way, but Walt Disney definitely would.
- 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
- 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.
  
  While that may be true, nobody saying "free Palestine" has a positive view of Israel, do they?
  
  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".
- It’s hard to say…there’s this thing where a ton of people hate Jews but love Israel
- Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don't really care what he would think
- 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.
- Yea, just not for the correct reasons.
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.
- Guess you won’t be watching any movies with Gal Gadot then.
  
  I dont know him/her so i guess yes
- Where did she support terrorists? Major self-report my dude...
- There is no Country, they want a country and choose terrorism as their way.
- that's gonna be a long list with all the people who support the terrorist state of israel
- You are mistaken, she was supporting Palestine, not the IDF.
  
  Ahh the big fantasystate which stands for terrorism, sounds good
- 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.
- So nothing of value was lost?
  
  Uh, you mean the one thing actors/actresses live for?
- How do you do that?
- Touch grass, homie.
- And I've lost any respect for you
