Variety


quote:

Nawaf Alsabhan, Saudi Arabia’s general supervisor of cinema classification, told AFP (via The Guardian) that Disney is unwilling to remove “barely 12 seconds” from the film in which Gomez’s character refers to her “two moms.”

“It’s just her talking about her moms, because she has two moms,” Alsabhan said. “And being in the Middle East, it’s very tough to pass something like this. We sent it to the distributor, and the distributor sent it to Disney, and Disney has told us they are not willing.”




well, since we all know how "The Batman" reviews here went over the "white privilege" line, i guess that means about 98% of this board is gonna miss out on Doctor Strange 2...


i don't want to hear a GOD-DANG word from any of you because you've been forewarned. if you're gonna shite on the movie over this, don't fricking watch it.

There are no parallels between white privilege and a lesbian couple. It's a reach to try and connect these things.

Good.


I don’t necessarily see the need to reference two moms in the first place, but I sure as shite don’t want the Saudis or the Chinese or Europeans dictating what can and can’t go in our movies.

I just hope Disney takes the same principled stand next time China tells them to remove a reference to Tibet… but something tells me that won’t be the case

Oh for fricks sake. Now we're going to have to have a 10+ page thread on how Disney is evil, gays are pedos, and American culture is under attack because of 12 seconds of dialogue.

It could be just a throwaway line with no ulterior motives.


“I have to get my mom or dad to bring me.”

“I have to get one of my moms to bring me.”

Sure, each of those examples could use “my parents” but there are situations where it’s not crazy for someone to mention two moms.

It kind of makes you question the motives of Disney now. Everyone thinks they’re trying to change American culture.

Maybe they’re just embracing it’s current state in a lot of ways…

Your simping for these movies is weird (and kind of pathetic too). I hope you're just trolling.

I’m not simping, I’m calling out everyone else’s hypocritical bs they spew here.

As mentioned earlier, someone basically said this is fine. But I bet they were jerking themselves when Desantis slapped his dick in the face of Disney last week.

Maybe not 'promotes', but they did bend the knee with demands to how to portray The Ancient One.

Gee, I wonder why...

I’m waiting to hear you say you have a problem with Disney referencing two moms and why.

Nope. If the Chinese say cut something, they are cutting it, no matter what it is.

Dr Strange 2 is going to be a movie about Wanda and Dr. Strange will be a side character.

It's classic Marvel/Disney bait-and-switch.

You're a fricking whackadoodle, dude. I said that you trying to connect lesbian moms to white privilege is a stretch. From that I'm supporting pedos? GFY.
