What is the rope of truth holding on too?? Compel me now!!!
TIL Wonder Woman is part of the IDF
Kinda required if you are israeli as far as i understand
the current one is.
kal-el no? thats probably her best line. she probably got nepo her way into hollywood, her acting is bad as the rock, and rock has his political leanings quite questionable too. probably shoe-horned into hollywood as a cheerleader back home.
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.
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.
Yes but the moral line was not from her. It was from the mandated Eurocentric male love interest.
If anything, her problem (character-wise) was that she believed anything was fine so long as she got to crush the head of the snake.
Video game logic, but the bad kind.
“Yeah I killed all them goons, but the MAIN VILLAIN IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE! Let’s not punish the leaders but hire them for our benefit like we did in Nuremberg!”
“But he has a lot of money and power! We can’t kill him!”
Goofy shit
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.
I don’t do it because it’s stupid. They are just people doing their jobs so treat them like that. Appreciate the good work they do, acknowledge they have flaws like anyone else.
I try so hard not to but sometimes…if Messi ever did anything bad I’d have to take bereavement leave. Love him like a son
Like when he tried to kick out Cucurella in the most unsportsmanlike way possible? When he couldn’t rely on his skills he tried crying and laying. Pathetic.
omg shupppp he’s an angel on earth and he’s so fuckin good at what he does. I adore him.
I got to play with one of the guys who won for Brazil in 1970? I think? And he was so old (he’s dead now sadly) but oh my god that guy could play. It was incredible. I have so much respect for him and Messi is a god among men and I bet you run a 10 minute mile
He played for PSG my guy
is there a problem for playing for PSG? Idgi. Does that make someone irredeemable in your eyes? Is this how this site works?

I don’t follow football, but I’m guessing it’s that they’re owned by Qatar Sports Investments. I just assume anyone with ties to FIFA is corrupt.
PepperSaltGarlic
great seasonings big fan
whos that
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.
It’s a scene so over the top with needless destruction of a beautiful historical landmark, and you wonder what the filmmakers were trying to say with it.
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.
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
Populated by a soldier, in a war zone. This wasn’t a puppy and kitten caretaker nunnery on cute orphans visiting day.
and you wonder what the filmmakers were trying to say with it
No deeper meaning, just action.
Then put a whole battalion up there or something, make it clear that she cleared out a whole sniper nest, not just one guy
They already had that scene three minutes earlier into the movie, and unfortunately execs think that if you repeat something then you lose interest from your audience and thus can lose shekels.
Curiously enough, “repeating plot points and previous information that can be inferred without being told” is exempted from this issue, so there we go, characters re-explaining obvious plot points at every turn.
I doubt much more thought was put into this other than “hey, you know what would look cool?”
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 mean they are the copaganda/militaryganda arm of the MIC. Transformers is pretty much all militaryganda and very little actual robots action.
it’s also one percent robot testicles
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
They make one movie with easy to digest anti-elite themes for every dozen that promotes competition between the working class, has libertarian undertones, or otherwise reinforces the status quo. How many Hollywood heroes promote the status quo vs challenge the status quo?
Also, Parasite is a South Korean movie, which makes it even weirder. SK is way deeper in late stage capitalism than the US if you can believe it. When Samsung alone accounts for 23% of their gdp, something’s wrong.
Indeed, Hollywood make the directors of the “Wochenschau” (june 1940 to March 1945) look like kindergartners and they learned from them too.
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.
I think that’s the one thing they got right unfortunately, in real life armies (usually) don’t risk soldiers trying to locate and kill a sniper, they just use things like artillery, missiles, or tanks.
“Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”
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.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to defend myself against the accusation from a mod that I’m anti-socialist because I said the USSR wasn’t perfect.
lmao the Flemish at the end caught me off guard 😂
“Edde da gezien?”
I thought it was hochdeutsch – “Hast du dass gesehen?”
If you enable the subtitles, it says Flemish.
Took another listen:
“Hebde da gezien”
“Wa is er gebeurd?”
“Hebde da gezien, wa zij gedaan heeft?”
It’s perfect dialect, which surprises me, but after this it seems to devolve into gibberish. I can’t make too much out of it, besides French being thrown in, which for our country is, again, spot on, since we are divided bilingually.
“Veld” also means “field”. it’s such a generic name to give a town, but plausible.
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.
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
That is a fictional movie! Hope this helps <3
Almost all movies are fictional
that’s crazy wow
“dyaaa jeee fanks bosss.”
what that mean
The Boys is supposed to be satire.
Isn’t this from Wonder Woman?
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.
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.
Oh god forbid an actor in a show did mandatory military service. Boycotting Kpop now
South korea isn’t invading the north and killing children
Nor is Israel so we can all live in peace and harmony yay
And neither is Israel, glad we agree
But they are a genocidal theocratic apartheid ethnostate.
Read the comics, much better and anti gov.
I can almost guarantee you Garth Ennis isn’t a zionist.
Do you think William Wallace hates jews?
I don’t know or care who either of those people are lol
If you employ a Zionazi soldier in your show, I’m not watching it. It also got to be a bit shit later on anyway.
Careful with all them edges there, ye might cut yourself.
Wow so staunch. What if someone served in the US armed forces and then became an actor? Would you never watch that show? Genuinely curious
Yes
Yes what
Yes, I’d stop watching that show
Is this thread full of zionazis, treatlerites or liberals? You guys all kinda come off the same.
You don’t know who William Wallace is?
I think that guy is one of the type who picks one thing e.g. Israel evil Palestine faultless and just rides with that no matter what. You can’t expect conversation out of that kind of person
Israel is evil because they are genociding Palestine.
If only the world were so simple
It’s funny because shortly after I read that somewhere else in a lemmy comment, they
Warning, The Boys final season spoiler
killed his character. Lol.
So, because a single, secondary actor (who got killed off) has a dark past, the entire franchise (that’s all about reconciling with darks pasts) is ruined?
Has he “reconciled” with his dark past? And yeah if you cast an SS member you have some questions to answer…
Yes.
They also tried conflating criticism of the Zionazi ideology as being some weird MAGA fringe attitude.
Oy gevalt … OK, I may be an idiot for entertaining this… Conjuncture… but, I’m also pretty open minded, and this is the time where we need to listen to a lot of new voices
Go on now. Explain exactly what you mean by this. Start from the beginning, and ELI5. I’m listening
And if you expect me to take you seriously, include references from reliable sources.
Edit: you can dispense with the anti-Zionism bullshit. Yes I understand. Israel is committing a genocide against Palestine (and currently Lebanon) and all that. Just because I’m a Jew doesn’t mean I’m a Zionist. Let’s move on from that point.
I stopped watching the garbage show and am clearly not half as emotionally invested in it as you are, so I don’t recall specifically. I just remember there was one line in the show, iirc by the Nazi lady, which implied that anti-Zionism is akin to some MAGA mentality. It was the only time Zionism was ever specifically mentioned in the show so it shouldn’t be that hard for you to find if you care that much.
I never accused you of being a Zionist and don’t care what your ethnicity is (in terms of being discriminatory), deep breaths lol
Please… It’s not others job to find references for you. If you fail to reference something, that is your cape. We should not normalize outsourcing of referencing.
lets have good conversation ettiquette
I really don’t care if you believe me about a specific reference pertaining to a garbage show that hired a settler-terrorist for their cast.
We should also normalise not having people spend an hour or more to find references for that one claim. This is a niche internet shitposting forum not an academic journal.
When?
Gal Gadot is the reason I understood how people can fall in love with terrible people
Why is she terrible? I could Google, but make it well known?
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.
Don’t forget she lied that her family is 8th generation Israeli and that she’s indigenous to the land. Outrageous lie to state especially since it’s public that all her grandparents are foreign from Palestine also.
“Foreign” it’s all Palestine
I think by “foreign from Palestine” they mean that her grandparents were not from the land of Palestine (sometimes improperly referred to, in part, as “Pissrael”)
During the pandemic she noticed no one was paying attention to her so she sung imagine and made her ego everyone’s problem.
Which isn’t the worst thing she’s done, but it adds to her unlike-ability.
served in the idf
Not that this affects your conclusion, she was a conscript, like every Israeli.
she also praises/defend thier current atrocities.
Hence I said, “not that this affects your conclusion”
You can choose to sit in Jail instead, lots of Israeli youth do. you always have a choice not to join a genocidal army.
I compare it to nazi Germany. I don’t really condemn Germans who served in the armed forces rather than be punished for draft evasion. There were soldiers who just fought as they were told to and without doing anything clearly immoral or illegal - not all we’re out there murdering Jews or civilians, or executing prisoners, or whatever. Same with Israelis. It takes a lot of courage to go to prison by active choice, and I don’t think it’s reasonable to condemn people for not having that courage unless the alternative was themselves taking part in war crimes.
“Just following orders” does not hold up in court today nor did it hold up in the Nuremberg trials.
That is a quote about clearly illegal orders, which I specifically treated differently in my comment.
While I’d say conscripts are easier to forgive than volunteer forces, they are still culpable. They offsetting the suffering they’d endure in prison onto other people, with which their respective fascistic armed forces are targeting. I’m more understanding of their position but they are still guilty.
Also, while the individual soldier may have themselves not conducted any crimes, by serving in a fascist military, you are still aiding them in committing crimes. By providing gains for that military through your service, it gives the force more opportunity and power to commit atrocities.
This is so beside the point but I was thinking about how conscription in the US wouldn’t work. A huge majority of people would either be unfit or just say no and there would be so many young people in jail the economy would grind to a halt. I love that for us
Not every pissrahelli. There are some with a conscience. But yeah, most of them.
I could Google
We’re not your secretaries so yeah google it.
Why even use forums if you’re just going to discourage user engagement?
some people ask questions they can google because they want to be part of the conversation and be social
if you dont want to answer the question, it wasn’t for you
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
She is conventionally beautiful but she has the personality of a damp paper towel. She is not charming.
Fucking hell. You are painfully stupid.
Why what happened
Do you deny the genocide in Palestine?
Of course he does
Who is he
Yeah honestly. Their population is literally growing, if it’s a genocide they’re doing a shit job lol. But honestly we could throw sources at each other back and forth and it wouldn’t mean anything because nothing can disabuse you of this notion.
I hope you die an early and painful death like so many people you have ignored.
That’s a nasty thing to say. I hope you live and learn.
Yes, I’m very intentionally nasty to monsters who endorse the bombing of schools and hospitals.
This demographic is not normal. The amount of children is staggering.
Also, genocide does not mean complete eradication. I assume you agree that the nazis committed a genocide when they killed millions of jews? They did not eradicate them.
Idk what you’re showing me other than a shit ton of palestinians
Their demographics show an insane amount of children. 44% is between 0-14 years. This “war” is basically a mass murdering of children.
Enemy combatant status is not defined by age or organisation association, but skin color…
/S
Why are these kids ticking?
“Hello, I am from Israel and this is my comment.”
Welcome to the Internet!
Because it will make the Jews look bad
Worse than Catholics?
No. 1 spot at the box office was promised to me 6,000 years ago
By your own admission, they threw rocks. Those are just youthful combatants, verified.
‘Future terrorists’ is I believe how they described unarmed kids.
rocks=armed
Are you a troll?
No, that’s how the Israel describes fetuses.
Hoodlums!!!
/s
Fuck them kids
I don’t think she’s a USian Republican, is she?
whats a usian
fast run guy
What do you mean? I’m not a very fast runner. 8 minute mile-ish
usian bald
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Usain Bolt, the best sprinter in the history of the sport? Or are you trying to call me bald? Please be more specific
Yes, I was continuing the joke of the previous person, who treated “usian” as misspelling of Usain and replied with “run fast guy”. I hope it clarified things.
Someone from the shithole country between Mexico and Canada.
I kinda like it here
“Shithole country” is something your president has called many other countries.
I don’t like the guy bro I didn’t vote for him. Gimme a break
You can just say American it’s okay
USian is so awkward can we not
Kal-El, No!
That’s dark 🫠
Shit’s dark.
Sometime it’s red
A lot of mine are green. Not to brag. Ever had one long enough that you wanted to brag about it and show people? Competitive pooping should really be a thing.
Are you sure youre not colour blind?
Anal fissures or colon polyp? Finding out is half the fun!
If it’s bright I’m alright, if it’s dark I’m probably farked
Not going to to watch her new movie, even by the seas. Don’t watch Seinfeld either. Jon Stewart and Bernie are some of the few that have some sort of morals.
I don’t watch Seinfeld because he’s an insufferable rich guy who hates the common man.
I had forgotten about this grossness
And she got a 4”-5”/100”
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.
I just mean that Comedians in Cars getting Coffee thing. I watched it for the guests. But holy shit Jerry Seinfeld fucking hates people so much, and he does not hide it in that show.
Hard to hide it when you’re such a huge ass hole.
He’s so smug I hate looking at him.
That’s antisemitic actually
What is?
Real. He provides some kind of comedic contrast that enhances the brilliance of Elaine and George.
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.
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.
Gal Gadot supports murdering children and “acting” without any skill at acting.
she could be despised merely on her lack of any acting talent. She’s terrible.
omg so dramatic
It’s only dramatic to Nazi filth okay with murdering children.
You are not normal. Other people do not feel the way you do about murdering children.
No amount of pretending your views are normal will increase the number of people that share them.
Seems we’re doing pretty well
Yeah i figured first part out when going through other comments, so cant really say im that clueless anymore.
What about the second part, “acting” without any skill at acting? She’s just a bad actor?
Yeah, she’s incredibly stiff and wooden and her line deliveries come off like she’s just reciting lines. She’s a very poor actor.
Watch some of her movies if you’d like. Most people I know seem to consider her a step below a mop wearing sunglasses.
I wouldn’t really want to, by now most superhero movies might as well be produced by ChatGPT. The overall genre is completely overplayed and has become just a manmade slop.
I miss the good old days of well written, flawless superhero movies like Meteor Man and Blankman.
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?
Zionism is not an ethnic group.
Well, Stewart and Bernie aren’t zionists so the OC wasn’t about zionists, was it?
FFS. Y’all look stupid playing ball for a fucking antisemite
“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
My dumbass thought they meant “public figures”.
Nah they were listing off the Jews they thought are acceptable. Stay innocent!
You’re being disingenuous, Zionist
No, they’re fucking not. Jesus goddamn Christ, read shit and stop playing goddamn team sports. You look stupid
I’m a zionist but how am I being disingenuous? Talk with facts not buzzwords pls
A sincere Zionist is an oxymoron. It’s basically like someone saying “I’m a Nazi but how am I disingenuous?”.
Admitting to being a Zionist is a disgusting thing to say out loud.
I’m proud of it. Israel is a beautiful state and can and should defend itself.
Fall in a pit, zionist. You weren’t being disingenuous, but gods damn do I not fuck with genociders
Never again meant what, exactly? Zionism was one of the “answers” the nazis posed to the “question”, ya know? Genociding others because you don’t want to be genocided instead won’t actually save anyone and just leaves a whole fuck ton of people dead. Dumbass
You are not making sense. So I wasn’t being disingenuous and I was saying what I meant with my whole heart? So your earlier point made no sense? Would you like to apologize for that?
Just read the Sam Harris article I posted. Not sorry I don’t subscribe to the death cult of Islam, and I don’t cheer when old people and babies are killed and women are raped by terrorist Hamas. Palestine has a beautiful coastline and they could just chill and built themselves up but they want to blame the Jews for everything. There’s a reason not even Lebanon wants them. They want to be victims and you want to cry for them and use histrionic language because it makes you feel good about yourself. Yapping about Israel online isn’t an accomplishment buddy
https://samharris.substack.com/p/why-i-wont-debate-critics-of-israel this is worth a read
Don’t forget AOC and Mamdani dude!
I like both of them, but I was referring to Jewish people
Kind of a gross thing to say? Watch out for all known Jews except Bernie and Stewart?
Yeah, that was definitely a “one of the good ones” remark.
You’re just furthering the false equation of us with zionists.
Gotcha. Forgot what thread we were in.
No. You don’t get to be a shithead regardless of the thread. If someone says they hate, you believe them and shun them, not fucking nod your head.
Uh, AOC and Mamdani don’t fit that category whatsoever. What are you talking about.
Ah! You see the guy came back after you included AOC and Mamdani and said “no, I was being antisemitic” and you said “fair, cheers bud” instead of “Oh. What the fuck is wrong with you, dude?”
Is what I’m talking about
??? I didn’t agree or disagree, he was pointing out Jewish people only apparently, since this is a thread about an Israeli actress. I don’t know everyone’s religions or nationalities, I was just adding two other people since he said Bernie and Stewart are the only ones with morals.
🤔 🤔
Is Larry David on the shitlist too? He once picked a Palestinian chicken place over his friends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGZgTEPCBZE
TL;DW (imo) yes
Bernie opposes a one state solution because he wants Israel to exist as a Jewish majority.
Fuck Bernie.
Have any more info on this?
He’s consistently calling it a genocide and not supporting military aid to Israel. Not sure what you’re getting at.
Hamas, a terrorist organization, began this war with its brutal attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people and took 250 hostages. Israel, as any other country, had a right to defend itself from Hamas.
he literally opened this piece by whining about how hamas “started it” (no they didn’t) and portraying them as this evil organisation that just murders innocent people for the sake of it (no they don’t).
I don’t care that after almost 2 years of brutal slaughter, some of the most heinous crimes in west asia to date he finally started to call it genocide so as to not lose the last bit of leftist cred he somehow still has. Especially if he doesn’t oppose weapon shipments to pissrahell and simps for a two-state solution, which definitionally is still zionist.
Hamas, a terrorist organization, began this war with its brutal attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people and took 250 hostages. Israel, as any other country, had a right to defend itself from Hamas. Sounds right to me. Love Bernie
Remember the peaceful March of return where Nazi Zionist snipers bragged about getting two kills with one bullet by murdering pregnant women that happened just a year before?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Go peddle your genocide justification elsewhere you Nazi filth.
Edit: Israel had over 15,000 Palestinian hostages, and did before October 7th.
And no, an occupying country has no right to defend itself against those it is occupying. Literally. That’s nor a moral argument either, but actual international law.
Is Nazi filth a new phrase you just learned
I like how you just ignore the intentional targeting of pregnant women in the peaceful protest against oppression.
Again showing how okay you are with murdering children.
Dude, just be open with it. You will really feel better not hiding who you are.
He refused to call it a genocide until 2025, I wouldn’t call that consistent. Dragging his heels, dodging questions about it, calling it a “legal term” until then.
And when he finally called it a genocide, doing so started by condemning Hamas, calling it “Netanyahu’s war” as if it’s not widely supported (polls have shown that it is).
He supports Iron Dome funding/access (unless that changed recently, I’d be happy to hear that but it won’t change my mind on him being a liberal Zionist) https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/prepared-remarks-sanders-on-ending-unfettered-military-aid-to-israel-and-restoring-unrwa-funding/
Interview (Yes, I know it’s from 2017, but it doesn’t seem like this opinion has changed as far as I can tell) https://fileditchfiles.st/beta16/54fd6b222f3c42d1a1f6/bernie_sanders_equal_rights_for_palestinians_and-one-state-solution.mp4
More recently, from 2025: https://fileditchfiles.st/beta16/9dbace77bfa33654edfc/Bernie-Sanders-Israel-Jewish-state.mp4
In my view, Bernie Sanders is consistently a liberal Zionist. Fuck Zionists, including the “liberal” ones.
