Nazis. I hate Nazis.

Why did it have to be Nazis?
-
There were no nazis in the original version of Indiana Jones, those were shoehorned in by liberals as an antifascist act of terrorism.
The Sound of Music originally had friendly ICE agents harmlessly pointing friendly weapons at bystanders, but the terrorist idealist anti racist liberals changed them to nazis. Granted that the change from ICE agents to nazis may seem a small thing, but experts have all agreed that ICE agents are more fascist than nazis, thus the move was declared antifascist.

They were harmlessly pointing walkie talkies

Not to mention all the anti-snake messaging they snuck in.

Anti-serpentism.

Underrated

I think this man is confusing the nazi with aliens. God I hate illegal aliens..... wait...

Is this not satire? The account is literally called "Insane Cope"

I hate how the Internet ruined satire. At one point you could read something and think "well that's obviously too stupid for a literate human to believe. What a clever way of pointing out the folly of man". Now you read a moronic opinion and it's like 60% likely to be real.

Dude's name is @InsaneCope. Fits.

I literally just finished a re-watch of Lost Ark a couple minutes ago, opened Lemmy and now I see this.
-
Not really shoehorned in. Nazis are part of the story. Shoehorning would be seeing nazis and saying "Nazis. I hate nazis. Though not as much as I hate Huey Long, what a wannabe Hitler that guy is!".
-
Sounds like the edited for tv version but for Republicans.
-
“The following movie has been edited for Nexstar & Sinclair broadcast networks.”
-
"Nazis, I [different voice] respect political differences"
Alternatively, "Nazis, I [deb]ate nazis"

Honestly that wouldn’t fucking surprise me at this point.
Taking bets how long until we get a “USA version” of movies like they do in China.
-
You already do. It's a defoult one. You don't need edits in postproduction. Self-ceneorship occurese before even the first scene is shot.
Obvious example would be the assistance of the US army in making a movie, if the script was approved by Pentagon. But I bet you wouldn't have to look far for more.

What's the one where the main bad guys are like a tribal iungle death cult? Temple of Doom? I don't remember nazis in that one; maybe that's all they saw.
-
Temple of Doom gets a lot of criticism for being racially insensitive, but it’s actually my favorite in the series because it highlights religious extremism and fascistic devotion to leaders/idols/deities of a religion that isn’t the religion held by the majority of the series’ audience (Christianity), and that subtly recontextualizes how the Nazis of the other movies were religious extremists with fascistic devotion to leaders/idols/deities that the average Christian viewer may not recognize as a derivative of their own religious views.
On a sidenote, what a lot of people see as racially insensitive in Temple of Doom almost exclusively applies to the villainous Thuggee cult and not to the Indian villagers. There is a bit of a “white savior” trope, but you could argue that Indy was well-fed enough to fight and reputable enough to get into Pankot Palace, unlike the famished villagers.

The Road to El Dorado is one of my favorite movies for basically the same reason.
-
I don't really care for the racial insensitivity (it was the 80s, and there's a lot worse than that out there).
But Willie Scott has got to be the most annoying character in the entire franchise.
-
That's... a lot of arguing for not much payoff.
I mean, it doesn't hold up any way you look at it, because the really weird dinner scene is supposed to be populated by a bunch of people who think what's going on is normal. The only cultists are supposed to be the minister and the brainwashed prince. Even Indy isn't particularly fazed. The one thing I'll give you is that is the one film where the magical religious artifact is not Christian, so it's the one movie that tells you that Jesus/Moses aren't the only magic people roaming the Earth in that universe. Unfortunately it does so by depicting its exception as this gross, horrific cultish thing, which they never do with Judeochristian tradition even when they're melting faces using it.
But mostly, politics aside... it's just a mess of a movie. It's made out of deleted sequences and scraps from Raiders, it's one of the weird Spielberg divorce rebound movies, so the female lead is atrociously written, there's no discernible plot and no discernible theme when compared to Raiders.
It has some really cool imagery, inventive set pieces and is charming in bits, but it's the worst of the original trilogy by a lot.
-
that movie isn't perfect, and it still annoys me that they portrayed as the good guys. because when Western nations conquer and plunder other nations is only bad if they are nazis.

When the original one was made, Nazism was so far outside the Overton window, it was the definition of something that could never be a legitimate opinion. Nazis were monsters, like ogres or something, and to be defeated by however much force it took
The woke agenda has been telling us that grinding bones to make bread is wrong, but there is a proud historical tradition of grinding the bones of children, and many people have been saying that eating bread made from ground up child bones has many nutritional benefits! In fact, there is a direct correlation between not grinding bones for bread, and decreasing IQs and male testosterone levels! In this video essay I will explore...
