One must wonder if this is a way to get people in to see this movie:
It’s a mystery that’s fit for a Hollywood movie. On Tuesday, multiple media outlets reported that Disney had caved to anti-Israel activists and removed the Israeli identity of Sabra, one of the few Jewish-Israeli superheroes, in the upcoming movie, “Captain America: Brave New World.”On Wednesday, however, the entertainment news website TheWrap, citing two anonymous “insiders,” reported that the character will retain her Israeli identity and accent, but will no longer be a Mossad agent, as she was in the comics.Whatever the truth, it’s noteworthy that Sabra’s Israeli identity became an issue in the first place. Marvel announced that the Jewish superhero would be included in the next Captain America movie at Disney’s D23 Expo in 2022.Almost immediately, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) launched a letter-writing campaign, claiming that including an Israeli character in the movie would “contribute to whitewashing the crimes of Israel’s government,” which it accused of “practising apartheid against Palestinians” and committing “war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
Nothing sells like controversy!
So much to unpack:
people like the rancid AMP tried similar things with "Wonder Woman" which featured IDF veteran Gal Gadot but that did not work.
The MCU now is a spent force, one that used to put out watchable movies but now puts out expensive dreck written by untalented fan-boys and girls with no understanding of the material but with lots of partisan quips inserted in every scene.
While a fine character in "Captain America: the Winter Soldier", Sam Wilson has been forced upon the public as a sanctimonious blowhard undeserving of the shield.
That shield was meant for someone else and we all know it:
