Disney deleted a Thread because people kept putting anti-fascist quotes from its movies in the replies (www.theverge.com)

”Share a Disney quote that sums up how you’re feeling right now!”

That’s what Disney posted on Threads the other day, and people immediately replied with lines from Star Wars, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and even Mary Poppins. The throughline between all the quotes: they were pretty pointedly anti-fascist and clearly aimed at the current administration

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.

If you think Star Wars does it bad - which I'm not entirely disagreeing with you on - dear god never watch Rebel Moon

Single worst piece of scifi I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen so much scifi. I watched all of Dark Matter for some reason, and Rebel Moon is so much worse. Why did they give the Big Evil Fascist a Fascist Shillelagh? I don't fuckin know man it's the worst movie ever.
