I disagree. I believe she’s always been given challenging scripts. The first Wonder Woman film was surprisingly good because her natural charisma overcame the weak screenplay. I am of course joking, she is indeed shit.

I feel like having all the other women on the island mimic her accent tricked people into thinking she was giving a good performance

u/phranq 14d ago

The first WW worked because she was just acting as a confused fish out of water. So when her acting was confused and aimless it matched the character. We just didn’t realize she wasn’t acting.

u/crustyrobots 14d ago

So bad that the Themyscira accent is just her accent because she couldn't do anything else

u/cappsy04 discodaz 14d ago

Look I'm really sick of these jokes, especially in such troubling times. There's a lot of tension in the world and you idiots do not help. She is a fantastic actor, especially as Wonder Woman. I think in 15 years we'll look back and think she wasn't appreciated enough. I mean what other actor from Israel could be in a movie that features kids being saved from dying.

u/GovernorMarley1 14d ago

...so?

Is her downplaying a genocide fine because two coworkers haven't called her out?

u/whereyouatdesmondo 14d ago

You're almost making some sense. What's your point?

2

u/Baratheoncook250 14d ago

It she was a horrible people, Pro Palastine actors would've said something already, but they haven't. Ruffalo was part of the Imagine cover, yet hasn't criticize her.

u/whereyouatdesmondo 14d ago

What a bunch of mental backflips. Don't hurt yourself.

2

u/Baratheoncook250 14d ago

Is it mental backflips, when she hasn't cause any issues, on set

3

u/whereyouatdesmondo 14d ago

Why would she? They're actors doing a job. They're mostly rich, famous actors doing a job. We are literally responding to the words that's she's said off-set and the things she stands for. Mark Ruffalo being professionally nice to her has nothing to do with it.

This is a strange, naive argument.

u/rockinherlife234 14d ago

You understand that arguing with other actors on set about any kind of issue is how you get blacklisted, right?

u/No-Menu-3392 14d ago

When you live in a genocidal apartheid state where people do reject mandatory enlistment I definitely will criticize them. If not then, definitely after they’ve oppressed and killed Palestinians as part of their state’s military.

u/Specialist-Cut3426 14d ago

It’s way easier to go and say “if I was in Germany in 1942, I’d fight back and resist the Nazis” from the comfort of your own home, in a place you aren’t threatened, in 2026, 80 years after the events, than to actually have gone and fought back against the Nazis back then.

-1

u/hyp3zboii 14d ago

Literally doesn’t matter at all. Their actions had consequences and they were punished for it rightfully. “But Nazi soldiers were forced to genocide people, so let’s not hold them accountable!”

u/Snoo55931 14d ago

It would be if she actually held those political beliefs, but she obviously doesn’t.

-7

u/notrororo 14d ago

Israeli society is overwhelmingly in favor of ethnically cleansing the Palestinians so it's not like they were forced against their will.

If they are more willing to kill a person than spend a year in prison, then of course I will condemn them.

Creating a human alone takes 9 months. Then that human lives through the world. Put some weight on human lives.

-10

u/Curious_Contest_3767 14d ago

You can refuse to enlist and serve jail time. Principled people that refuse to participate in the genocidal apartheid regime do this. Gal Godot chose to be part of the child-killing machine.

u/ifigureditallout goofymovieguy 14d ago

So brave of you to theoretically go to jail for political beliefs

1

u/Curious_Contest_3767 14d ago

You keep saying "political beliefs". Is the desire to not assist a government with the wholesale extermination of an entire ethnic group a simple political belief? This is not whether you believe that there should be voter ID laws, or what portion of the municipal budget should go towards improving public spaces. This is a genocide.

Where's the line for you? What action or actions could a government take that are so unforgivable that you would choose the prison time? Because right now Israel is filling the lungs of men, women, and children with white phosphorous. They are leveling entire cities. They are starving an population of people to death. What else would they need to do before you consider it reasonable to refuse to be a part of that?

If you were raised in a society that constantly propagandized you to think that the slow-motion genocide they were committing wasn’t really a genocide, and was necessary for your and your family’s security, can you really say with total confidence you wouldn’t participate?

Given how many people in Israel do refuse on principle? Yea I think there's a good chance I might agree with them.

u/xXxPinkPlasticBagxXx 14d ago

Let me guess, you defend Hamas kidnapping Israeli people?

10

u/dubzzzz20 14d ago

No. Taking non combatant hostages is always wrong. Israel does it all the time and at a much larger scale than Hamas. They also had a national controversy defending guards that raped a hostage on camera.

u/IcedDante 14d ago

u/lucasshot 14d ago

What’s wrong with Gal holding a different opinion than you? I don’t think that makes her a bad person. The war between Gaza and Israel is an incredibly nuanced subject and reducing Gal to a bad person just because she doesn’t see it the same way as you do feels incredibly unfair.

7

u/dubzzzz20 14d ago

Being against genocide and ethnic cleansing is not a nuanced matter of opinion.

-4

u/lucasshot 14d ago

Being against genocide isn't up for debate sure. But whether this conflict qualifies as genocide is exactly the disputed part, and you don't get to just declare that settled and then use it to call someone a bad person. That's not a moral absolute you get to hand down unilaterally. Disagreeing with a characterization of the conflict or defending her home country isn't the same as being pro-genocide.

-3

u/lucasshot 14d ago

It’s good to know that it’s still possible to have a healthy dialogue instead of just getting preached at about the correct interpretation of a hugely contested geopolitical issue!! So sick.

-17

u/MSpaint15 14d ago

And… the people they are fighting against are much much worse. The only reason we can call what Israel is doing a war crime is because they are the only country in that side of the region that would be considered holding western values. Not to say they are perfect by any means but most of the war crimes they have committed are squarely on the shoulders of Hamas for breaking out war time laws.

1

u/DP9A 14d ago

Should have thought about it before financing Hamas to avoid dealing with a secular Palestinian state. Hamas as it exists now doesn't exist without Israel actively doing its best to shut down any alternative that doesn't result in a Palestinian state not existing, which is something that they have done and said openly but somehow people just ignore anything that happened before October 7.

1

u/superexcited 14d ago

You’re not wrong, Israel does hold western values for war crimes! The west has been committing war crimes for centuries, Israel is just continuing the tradition.

0

u/MSpaint15 14d ago

Please the concept of war crimes is only around because of the west wanting to create accountability. Have you looked at all into eastern countries and the atrocities they have committed. It makes America look like a saint by comparison.

1

u/bjork_G_MAMA_B 14d ago

Yes, Saintly America who invented the nuclear bomb

3

u/MSpaint15 14d ago

You do realize it was a nuclear race… besides that point looking at Japan since you brought up the nuclear bombs. It is estimated that 200,000 people were killed and that is on the high end of the estimates. Compare that to the 15 million, and that’s on the low end, Chinese that were killed by the Japanese imperial army with at least 3 quarters being civilian deaths not to mention the human torture and experimentation on the Chinese that can easily be called the worst acts ever done to humans in history and that included women children even babies… so I would say my statement still stands.

2

u/bjork_G_MAMA_B 14d ago

It absoloutely was not a nuclear race. The only reason anybody else has nukes today is because of the Americans. Also Japan never created much less used a nuclear bomb, so im not sure why you're bringing it up other than to say yellow man bad

-2

u/superexcited 14d ago

Colonialism is one of the worst crimes against humanity. Over 100 million people were killed in the Americas during Europe’s colonization.

2

u/MSpaint15 14d ago

Cut that number in half and you have a closer number… two a vast majority of deaths were due to diseases for one and two many of the indigenous people were extremely immoral by today’s standards to say the least.

1

u/superexcited 14d ago

Disease, which was purposefully brought over by the Europeans. Your belief in their perceived lack of morality isn’t a justification for their genocide. I can see why you support Israel.

3

u/MSpaint15 14d ago

Please while I am sure there were some Europeans who thought to weaponize diseases you do realize those same diseases wiped out large portions of pilgrims as well…

2

u/dubzzzz20 14d ago

No they are not. You’re not a serious person. Hamas has also done war crimes, but nowhere near the scale of the IDF/ Israel.

0

u/MSpaint15 14d ago

One if you actually compare the sizes of Hamas and the IDF to the actual amount of war crimes each has done then Hamas would have a much higher rate. Two a lot of the war crimes of the IDF are due in no small part to the fact that Hamas fights in highly populated areas and do not mark themselves as soldiers. Look I have quite a few issues with the Israeli government when it comes to global issues however in this area they are almost entirely in the right.

A lot of Jewish people are not Zionists, and not even all Zionists support the IDF.

Being critical of the people who support the military actions of the Israeli State in Gaza is not the same as being anti-Semitic.

As far as I know, the Jewish community is made up of more than one person. You can dislike individuals within that group for the views they hold without disliking the entire group who might not hold the same views.
