Marvel Rant - Blog Posts
I’m reblogging this because I’ve added a transcript of the comment for those who don’t want to or can’t read it on the screenshot. Wasn’t thinking about that when I made the initial post, oops. It’s under a drop down though, because I don’t want it to clog.
A comment from Cinema therapy’s video on ‘Loki’.

The recent additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been steadily falling off anyhow thanks to Disney, so I wasn’t too surprised at this news.
However I’d like to also point out the absolute hypocrisy of this decision:
Sabra was an early character during the beginning eras of marvel, which unlike how black panther was made for the sole purpose of fighting back in a cause, Sabra was and additional character to diversify the many heroes from all over the globe. This component is the key part of Sabra. Taking that away on the mcu’s part not only opposes their modernized “representation motive” while also being antisemetic without making it seem as antisemitism.
As a film major I’m already super disappointed to the direction of modern releases and especially pissed off that Hollywood continues their double standards when it comes to Jewish representation within characters and the stories they inhabit. It’s everything inclusive except for Jews; they are simply not allowed to be in character spaces.
Stories are a part of what makes us human; removing one of many varieties of such defeats this purpose.
My point is, stories are for everyone, including for Jewish people!
So is making her RUSSIAN somehow less controversial than making her Israeli?? Really??
It is absolutely disgusting to erase a character's identity like this. I'm not a marvel fan, but as an Israel-born Jew I was looking forward to on-screen representation and would've loved to see Sabra on screen.
Definitely won't be watching now, what's even the point?
