And the bad guy is... wait for it... a nazi!!!!


Check the second trailer, minute 1:20, the blond bad guy is clearly saying "fire" in German.

Germans, again the official bad guys. Knowing woke Disney, 99% he'll be a nazi, because nowadays, everything is naziiiii!!!

This be the “super original” OP and he is... wait for it... https://i.redd.it/7dr8nesa2fz01.jpg
Ain’t that reich? Altreich XD


Hehehe.... Disney continuing to trigger the F out of snowflake reactionaries (literal nazis in many cases as you can see here). Keep doing your thing, Disney & Hollywood! Them salty reich wing tears just keep coming. Mmm! ;)

Wow, it seems that insults and personal attacks started early... in the first comment, no less 😂😂😂

reply

The left is so aligned with the woke movement, any criticism of anything lefty is considered a personal attack, so they feel it's their right to be personally nasty in return. It's sad how little liberals have, that they need a movement to identify with, because they don't really have anything of substance to offer of themselves.

reply

Agreed, well said. Today's Leftists hate everything including themselves. There's not a bigger group of miserable sob's in the world..

reply

Pretty easy to make categorical statements about how other people feel. I'm sure lefties are all Vegans, too, right?

reply

You invited it, dork-boy. Who feels sorry for Nazis other than other ...?

reply

i wish this forum, had a thumbs up button!

reply

That's one of the few changes I'd like to see. Thumbs up or down plus a poo icon for something you find absolutely shite. To be used when it's too much effort or too repetitive to join in but you'd like to register an opinion.
Actually it would be interesting to see the relative usage of thumbs down and poo icons given how annoyed people get on these boards.

reply

I would argue that the OP has a legitimate point. Is there no place for originality in stories today?

reply

The OP had no legitimate point. The setting is WW 1, 1916. No Nazis there to find.

reply

I just got out of the movie. You're right that the villain is not literally a Nazi. But he's still a Nazi.

reply

If the argument is the character of the villain is not original, that's an interesting argument.
But when it's used to gripe about "woke"-ness, it's stupid.

reply

Why? You constantly complain about the right.

reply

It was pretty obvious to me that this is a propaganda film when I saw the trailer. The bad guys will be some 'nazi' industrialists who want to destroy some supernatural tree that can magically cure people of terrible diseases just because they are so evil. Same nonsense as was in Avatar. It will promote a pseudo-scientific and pseudo-religious view of 'mother earth' and it will have the effect of attacking any sort of economic development project in the natural resources sector.

reply

Best stay isolated

reply

Sarcasm -
I don't watch movies, I only watch Trailers so I can dissect what they mean in the future.
Pretty obvious.
And we have to give those Nazis a break. They aren't so bad.

reply

You are just as radical as the nazis, you hypocrite.

reply

We give socialists a huge break so it makes sense… (although nazis are socialists as well)

reply

I was hoping the conquistadors would be redeemed.

reply

It sounded more like vuur which is Dutch. I don't see any insignia on anything that just says the bad guy is some European thing like Hydra was in the Avengers.

reply

Are you Dutch? Because I used to speak a bit of Dutch and German, and it sounds German to me.

reply

It might be German but that doesn't mean Disney will put Nazi symbols in a movie.

reply

It's German. He's a Nazi. Confirmed.

reply

You won't see any symbols though because they aren't allowed to be shown in Germany.He could be a rich German Barron like the Captain America Hydra bad guy.

reply

I stand corrected. He's not literally a Nazi, as this film takes place during WWI. But they basically just created a Nazi character and put him in a WWI uniform.

And what's this about no symbols shown in Germany? I mean, I assume you could watch Saving Private Ryan in Germany.

reply

In a nutshell, Wonder Woman evil WW1 Prussian 'proto-nazis' again.

The irony of it is that, for all what Hollywood loves to use nazis as the ultimate (recurrent) evil... they've become a textbook Goebbels propaganda machine themselves, just aiming against white males instead of Jews.

reply

Its just getting silier

reply

Nazis are so boring and overdone.

reply

And that's a bad thing?

reply

For anyone who appreciates originality, yes.

reply

Overexposure.

Unless you're also okay with every thug villain depicted in a movie that takes place in the city being a black guy?

You would be totally fine with that... right... RIGHT?!

reply

"every thug villain being a bad guy." Hmm ....
Let's have our Thug Villains being Good Guys. That makes sense !

reply

Ha, oops, I meant "every thug villain depicted in a movie that takes place in the city being a black guy".

Thanks for the correction.

reply

As long as the Nazi is an actual, you know, Nazi and not some euphemism for anti-feminists, republicans or Trump then I don't see the problem with this.

The problem is with people on Twitter and Reddit conflating Nazism with anyone who questions LGBTQ and doesn't adhere to political correctness.

reply

There are ‘actual’ Nazi’s / proud boys on this site who can’t handle any demonizing of white people. Like the op who is a member of kkk

Thank you for owning it and wearing it proudly. Now we know - if we didn't already - and can treat you accordingly.

reply

Meanwhile, you still deny you're a hardcore Marxist.

reply

Why do you conflate the Proud Boys with Nazis?

reply

Because The Proud Boys are far-right, neo-fascist, and exclusively male organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States and Nazi's promote and espouse extreme nationalism, engage in political violence and is also a form of fascism.

reply

Regarding "political violence," I think of them as an anti-Antifa defense corp. I've never seen them engaging in any violence where they weren't kicking the shit out of Antifa, who was in turn trying to attack conservative demonstrators.

reply

You have got to be kidding me !
That's like me buying a cache of guns worrying about the impending doom of my bucolic neighborhood..
A small amount of of energetic young people want to to quell the Nazi uprising in this country, and it's labelled Antifa, while the bigger threat is the idiot Wrong Wing jerks wanting to intimidate us with bully tactics like flying huge American flags off their trucks like this makes them more American than the rest of us.

reply

"The Nazi uprising. . ."

Mmm hmm. Let me ask you, where will you find these Nazis?

As I asked another poster somewhere else on the forum, if you wanted to join a white supremacist group, would you even know where to look in your city? Have you seen them active in your area? Because I have seen Antifa and BLM active. They killed one person, destroyed art that will not be replaced, torched a cop car, and looted an Apple Store. No "Nazi" activity around here though.

reply

“A small amount of energetic young people” sounds like a description from an article in the Onion. And if you feel bullied by a “huge American flag,” you need to start going to the gym and working out a little.

reply

In my area, we regularly have large trucks festooned with HYUGE American flags, often TWO or another adjoined with some idiotic RUMP declaration of fidelity. It's a real thing, there is nothing subtle about it. And I'm not afraid for my personal safety other than one of these idiots approaching me to ask how I feel about their idiotic display. I imagine they are packing a firearm as that's one of the signature grievances these idiots have, people wanting to take away their Freedom to create mayhem on their own whim.
I actually saw a crappy trailer with old wooden press board sides and trash piled higher than the top -- and a huge American flag attached. I should have taken a picture. Hillbilly Heaven.

reply

"In my area, we regularly have large trucks festooned with HYUGE American flags, often TWO or another adjoined with some idiotic RUMP declaration of fidelity."

Looting and destruction is okay, but flags...oh no!!!😱😱😱

reply

I can’t believe I actually read a grown adult actually admitting it is scary to see trucks with flags flying driven by guys minding their own business.

I thought it was just parody. I can’t believe such losers actually exist. Why leave the bathhouse if the sight of flags scares you so? Just stay encamped with your zipper mask on.

reply

"energetic young people want to to quell the Nazi uprising in this country"

I like your use of the euphemism "energetic" to describe lunatic, rioting thugs who assault people while hiding behind black hoods and masks, and your use of the negative buzzword "Nazi" to describe anyone who opposes them. Oh, and your hyperbole of characterizing the flying of an American flag as "bully tactics". I hope the next Antifa/BLM terrorism attack happens in your neighborhood.

reply

You do know the leader is a black-Hispanic guy, right? Enrique Tarrio? Here's a picture:

Now try to use your limited Liberal-Progressive mental gymnastics to dance around the fact that many Proud Boy members are also Middle-Eastern, black, and even Asian:

Sure is a diverse and very multi-racial white supremacist group, eh?

reply

What is wrong with your tiny mind? Who tf cares if they are diverse? I said nothing about that.

reply

So how can they be Nazis if they espouse freedom, upholding the Constitution, protecting people from Antifa thugs, and defending rights you haven't earned from people trying to strip them away?

reply

You are spouting propaganda. The freedom you espouse is actually oppression, the Constitution you want to see upheld is selective, your thugs are imaginary, and no one is trying to strip away rights. Take a shower, take a walk around the neighborhood, and drink some tea.

reply

The cancel culture you're such a fan of is actually oppression. Reminds of practices like these:

Unlike BLM and Antifa, The Proud Boys don't go around raping, murdering, looting, pillaging, and burning down cities in riots, so there's nothing to post... except for this...

ROFL....

reply

"your thugs are imaginary"

Who are those "energetic young people" disguised in black masks who are rioting and assaulting people in cities all over the country? Turn off MSNBC and NPR, get off your electric scooter, and unpin your manbun.

reply

Demonizing of white people, that’s racist and anyone should be against that.

reply

meh why not who cares nazi shmazi, disney is a shit factory anyways try to avoid their content

reply

Hollywood's seeming obsession with the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy has been getting quite old for a long time.

I agree with the OP.

reply

Yeah, I would never have seen this movie had I not been with an intellectually challenged young person. The movie could have been worse but it sure wasn't inspiring.

reply

I don't think anyone is trying to argue the nazis were great, but they're the right-wing boogeyman the left still tries to keep alive.

Agreed. I have made this point on boards for several films.
