fairytales of yesterday grow but never die

— Ovid, Metamorphoses

prince of egypt is not a christian movie. the exodus is a jewish story. it’s found in other religions, and can even have a heightened level of significance, like for black (specifically african american) christians. but it is a jewish story from jewish scripture written from a jewish perspective about jewish persecution. enjoy it all you want. but don’t go on about how much you love prince of egypt then erase the fundamental jewish spirit of it.

Are you kidding? Portraying Pharaoh as sympathetic and human is intensely non-Jewish, and the last shot of Moses looking over the people worshipping the Golden Calf with the words ‘deliver us’ sung over them is a barely obscured Christian message. If you think this is ‘fundamentally Jewish’ and not Christian you’re probably not very familiar with either tradition.

Them, "It's not Jewish to show sympathy for the Egyptians!!1!"

Meanwhile, the Magilla, "The Egyptians were drowning in the sea. At the same time, the angels wanted to sing before God, and the Lord, God, said to them: 'My creations are drowning and you are singing before me?'"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...."deliver us to the promised land" as a barely obscured christian message is a really funny take.

Meanwhile in the Haggadah....

ineffable husbands and ineffable bureaucracy perfectly sum up the two types of queer romantic relationships: painful mutual pining for 6,000 years and speedrunning from enemies to friends to lovers in the span of 0.5 seconds

A reminder that Steve’s first instinct was to defend, not attack.

Even when he doesn’t have a shield, he literally makes one.

I mean you’re not wrong…

I’m firmly convinced the Steve categorizes everything he sees as “can be shield” or “cannot be shield”.

in fact, I’m going to go ahead and headcanon that he keeps a list of things he’s tried using as a shield and whether or not they’ve worked out:

blkoutqueen

“thor probably”

Tony “too small”

shadesofsky omg

great time to bring this back.

anyway this is the only christian opinion allowed on this post.

I made the mistake of looking at the comments section for one of the songs and it was… not good. I’m still fuming about the one reviewer who was eagerly talking about how much research the director did, because he “consulted both Christians and Muslim theologians to make it as accurate as possible!!” (no mention of Jews in the 5-paragraph overview of the creation of the movie.)

Then there was someone else who said “This movie transcends religion, that’s why everybody can relate to it. Pagans, Christians, Muslims, atheists, agnostics, doesn’t matter.” ://

Stop! Erasing! Jews!

PLAY AGAIN ?

i think that i can never forgive Marvel for not having a single scene of how Steve and Bucky communicate in ordinary life situations after Bucky's memory returned. i mean, not on the battlefield and not on the run. in any calm atmosphere . they had been apart for so long and deserved at least a few calm scenes in which no one wouldn’t try to catch or kill anyone and the world wouldn’t be on the brink of disaster. we needed a scene like this. they needed a scene like this.

SHOW ME THE FUCKING SKYPE CALLS YOU TALKED ABOUT, RUSSO BROTHERS!!!!

Wait for me? I will.

Chag Sameach everyone!

Here's your annual reminder that it was a Plague of singular Frog (who must have been so big)

I think something folks are missing is that a lot of, if not most of, people in the activist sphere are perfectly aware of the antisemitic undertones, messages, and individuals within their movements.

They just don't really care.

Antisemitism is seen by most left-ish goyim as a lesser prejudice, something that's not really an important issue. So when someone they're organizing with harasses, assaults or vandalizes random Jews, Jewish-owned businesses, JCCs, or shuln, they're perfectly happy to brush it off. It's a minor blemish on what they feel is a noble and righteous movement, not a big deal overall. You can point out the ways in which they are harming Jewish people and communities by spreading antisemitic talking points and obvious lies all you want, but they're still just going to reply with a non sequitur about Palestine.

The students at Columbia are perfectly aware of the naked hatred of Jews on display in the off-campus solidarity demonstration outside the gates. They are aware they are creating an environment in which the majority of Jewish students do not feel safe or comfortable being on campus.

They simply do not care.

Mythbusters have 3 categories of myths

To me, part of what makes Stucky so meaningful is the fact that they are a (sadly rare) healthy example of a relationship where one or both members are chronically ill/disabled in some way. Disabled people are enough, we can love and be loved, and we are worthy of being fought for.

"as the world's leading authority on waiting too long... don't" is about steve not telling bucky he is in love with him before he fell and you cannot change my mind

@twentysomethingramblings my heart has been torn asunder 😭
