why is she wearing mickey mouse ears
Cause it's Disney
She isn't, it's her hairpin/crown thing. She always has one on when representing her people in government.
Disney are also really shitty at removing any context in their movies. An interesting scene at the beginning of the movie Encanto a flashback references an unknown conflict in Colombia resulting in the death of the grandmother’s husband. What conflict Disney? Who were the bad guys Disney? Further research by an interested viewer will reveal that it was a civil war involving a right wing of rebels backed by the US, rose up against a leftist government.
Encanto isn’t about the conflict, though.
It would seriously break the flow of the story if they took time to explain the geopolitics of the area.
The original comment reads more like: they could've used an abstract conflict without specifics allowing to identify it
I would add: maybe that was intentional, also maybe they thought that the US were on the side of good in that case
right wing propaganda in shows and movies has always been seen favorably and useful for the govt, thats why they allow military to protrayed a certain way.

My dudes I'm high and and am the slow reading what kind of backup is this




A monarchy where succession is decided by trial-by-combat though?
Is it any worse than the American political system really?
That’s like saying AIDS is not as bad as Cancer.
Fair enough
I'd love to see the cheeto do a trial by combat, that would be outright funny
You're not wrong but a monarchy isn't strictly speaking the same as facism so I guess it's technically plausible
cons had problems with the 13th and 15 doctor, because of the gender, and ncuti , also surrounding several episodes "Gender issues"
Ironic for a company that recently made Andor.
You might have already heard its praise, but I wanted to add that it’s not just a political thriller, it’s about fascism. More specifically, it’s about the dilemma of doing nothing and pretending everything is fine or doing something even if it means using the tools of your enemy.
Senator Mothma’s speech at the end was creepily relevant, you just need to replace palpatine for another name.
Isn't all of Star Wars about fascism?
The rest is pretty cartoonish Bad Guys Bad, Good Guys Good.
Andor was way more nouanced.
Further Andor showed the machinery of Fascism from the inside and had various different kinds of people with different levels of commitement and reasons for participating in it.
You could really feel the machinery of Fascism slowly closing its maw on people who were just pro-Obbey-The-Rules rather than pro-Fascism and either coopted them or crushed them. Meanwhile in the rest of Star Wars the Empire was pretty much just is Big Powerful Evil For The Sake Of Evil Guys + Mindless obedient human puppets.
For the Empire side Andor showed people under Fascism, the rest Star Wars just shows the symbology of Fascism (down to the detail that all the members of the Empire are human, never other species) but not the human side of it or the machinery influencing and even forcing them to behave as they do.
Andor is much more about anti-fascism than other Star Wars pieces. But in a more adult and realistic way. That one has to get their hands dirty and give up some ideals.
On the other hand it shows good people meaning good things are still doing bad things simply because they are part of a fascist regime of which they might not even be aware of (because fascism is about manipulation and propaganda).
Is anyone surprised that a corporation doesn’t t share the same values as the creatives it hires?
Disney constantly edits old TV shows. Episodes of the Simpsons are slowly being sanitized of "bad" things, for example.
Really? I know they dropped S03E01 because they didn't like Michael Jackson. The last time I checked, Disney+ still had a scene where Dr. Hibbert explained the "evil gene" that's shared by both Walt Disney and Hitler.
they probably have problems with family guy now, since most parodies of seth mcfarlane is criticizing disney.
also waffling around with giving ORVILLE another season, since the show contradicts the GOP in everyway, and it gets conservative panties in a wad.
"The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco's poison. That poison?"
Just replace Kuzco with any number of evil people fucking shit up rn.
Somebody, somewhere, is updating their list of all the old pre-fascism movies and TV shows that will need to be erased from the culture.
So their whole pre-2025 catalogue? Haha oh my.
Only in America is Hydra the good guys.
Learn from the wisdom contained within our magical tales, child...
NO NOT LIKE THAT!!
He sits alone on a giant throne
Pretendin' he's the king
A little tyke who's rather like
A puppet on a string
And he throws an angry tantrum
If he cannot have his way
And then he calls for Mum
While he's suckin' his thumb
You see, he doesn't want to play
Paywall.

I was in Spain last year, and I think it was Seville that a literal Storm Trooper army marched past me on the street. It was a parade, but I've been wondering if it was an anti fascism thing.
