• Gal Gadot suggested that political pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel contributed to Disney’s Snow White underperforming at the box office, though she acknowledged other factors played a role.

  • The film, starring Gadot and Rachel Zegler, earned $87 million domestically compared to higher-performing Disney remakes; Zegler faced criticism for her pro-Palestine stance during promotion.

  • Gadot emphasized she enjoyed working with Zegler, said her “conscience is clean” regarding support for Israel, and expressed hope for peace and safety for all people.

    Disney fans don’t give a fuck about Palestine, sometimes there is just such a thing as a bad movie. People are tired of dumb live action remakes, and in general Snow White as a story just did not age well and was never going to be a success in modern cinema.

      The hero has a good voice, and movie had a couple of good songs. Usually a good Disney formula. That and a popular, somewhat good plot, fairy tale remake, is part of the formula.

        That formula doesn’t work anymore. Doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again will eventually show diminishing returns, and the overt racism and sexism of snow white just simply doesn’t have staying power. People don’t want that anymore. Even the blind consumers of disney.

    More like the movie sucked and her genocidal views didn’t help the matter. Get your head out of your ass.

    I think it’s the fact that people have seen Gal Gadot’s acting skill before.

      I don’t think she’s a terrible actress. More like middling. She really struggles with bad directors and poor scripts. She doesn’t have that geniality to inject original interpretation into her characters. I mean, I’ve seen analysis by body language acting specialists that say that all actors in snow white shared the same bad body language mistakes, and that’s a direction error. They were told to act that way, and they did. As is half of their job. The other half is saying “great, that was fun. But would you give me two or more takes to try something different?”

        Nah, she’s terrible. I’ve yet to see a scene in any movie that is better because she’s in it. Even Mark Walhberg can act better than her and he can’t act.

        That’s like the definition of a bad actor.

        I’ve seen analysis by body language acting specialists

        What, why?

      This is the argument with my friend. Jolie is a good person, macklemoore is virtue signaling. She sacrificed a lot to change them little kids lives. Real change even if it’s only 3-4 people. Mackle moore just sings about it.

            So what are you doing, besides posting on Lemmy? Because unless you’re out there at protests, you aren’t even doing as much as Macklemore, who has been at protests.

            I’m going to bet you’re nothing more than a self-righteous keyboard warrior who refuses to do more than look down their nose and judge people.

              See? You’re actual the biggest beta here defending someone that wouldn’t even post on your fb page if you died. Secondly I DON’T have the ability to produce genuine change in the world, mac does. Instead he’s going on submarine rides with millionaires. Think more critically. If you need mac to tell you about the Gaza genocide, that sounds like you need to do some soul searching.

                “Biggest beta”

                Ah, I didn’t realize you were a Tate fan. There’s no point arguing with anyone who feels their self worth is based upon their perceived manliness, because you’re the kind of person who needs a bigger, stronger male to tell you what you should think.

                You’ll never be anything more than a follower of some influencer. That’s why you lack the ability to affect genuine change.

    Gal Gadot, had previous to Snow White casting or PR tour, openly blessed Israel’s genocide. I doubt that her repeating zionazi views in promoting film would have improved box office. There was a zionazi campaign against the film because the “hero” was anti-genocide, even with Gadot, as villain, a key part of the film.

    Publicity for this zionazi hasbara of blaming box office on lack of full zionazi dedication of the studio, is yet another example of absolute zionazi control over US politics and media through giving neutral toned attention to Gadot despite her objectively anti-human demonism.
