Naw the man don’t look like that anymore 🤣🤣🤣

axer0043.bsky.social•33 days ago

Would be even better to poke fun or teach a lesson about politics, but that’s just me

pshivonne.bsky.social•33 days ago

Anthony Mackie just want us to go to watch the movie so it won't flop. The tight rope is getting harder to walk. 😅😂😂

thegarbagebin.bsky.social•33 days ago

There’s no way this isn’t a political movie though lmfao

clowtisms.bsky.social•33 days ago

Damn

gusgusortiz01.bsky.social•33 days ago

His character is named Captain America.

primarypadma.bsky.social•33 days ago

Should’ve made him orange

rm189.bsky.social•33 days ago

friznog.bsky.social•33 days ago

hard to be tired of it when they're literal nazis

pengydraws.bsky.social•33 days ago

Captain america winter soldier has never been more topical

ladywreck.bsky.social•33 days ago

If they were trying to make a political statement wouldn't they have made Red Hulk, orange hulk? 🤔

I'll show myself out...

wyles.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don't like the "I'm neutral on politics/don't make it political" thing people often do but it's also true sometimes you can just have movies that don't have to be a complex metaphor for current political issues like rising fascism. It's okay to have non-deep popcorn flicks sometimes.

pengydraws.bsky.social•33 days ago

yeah but this is in the same series as captain america the winter soldier, which was, so I think it's fair for people to make that kinda comparison

loganthinkshecan.bsky.social•33 days ago

True but this is not the movie for that. Most of the characters work for the government. There will probably be terrorists or some shit too but people will still call it nonpolitical

vickysoria.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sure it's ok, but a "Captain America" movie with a president, the military and terrorists isn't the one to be mindless apolitical and neutral. That kind of movie is never neutral.

dypp.bsky.social•32 days ago

Mackie, with all due respect, your movie is literally titled "Captain America: Brave New World," it seems one of the villains is actually the president of the United States and one of the actors who might be in it is currently nominated for an Oscar for playing Donald Trump. This is a political film

dinomom77.bsky.social•31 days ago

Didn't know Red Hulk is obese, elderly, and suffering from dementia.

cvntrarian.bsky.social•32 days ago

i’m sorry but anthony mackie is the worst at this press tour. i adore falcon becoming cap, but i kinda wish it wasn’t anthony mackie. he’s just annoying

e10v3.bsky.social•32 days ago

Some how "captian america" responding like that is very on brand rn lol

twobitmachines.bsky.social•32 days ago

I dont really think anyone would care if he was yellow.

welchysgripe.bsky.social•33 days ago

An ORANGE JABBA the Hutt would be the only thing that would make me think trump .

hasmustache.bsky.social•33 days ago

i feel like it isn’t the color comparison necessarily

wastedbandwidth.bsky.social•33 days ago

I'm tired of supporting the IDF and its proponents, so I'm passing on the flick

rioromero.bsky.social•32 days ago

damn he real af for that 💜

codeblackdirective.bsky.social•29 days ago

Red Hulk was red in the marvel comics. Captain America's archenemy was a Nazi.

thesupreme34.bsky.social•32 days ago

Pussy

chaoscookies.bsky.social•33 days ago

He can either be a metaphor for red blooded Republicans or communism take your pick and enjoy the flick

chandler50.bsky.social•33 days ago

Looking at Harrison Ford’s character, most likely a traditional republican, who does not support a Trump in that universe.

weinerbones.bsky.social•32 days ago

Claiming that fascism and communism are interchangeable ideologies is a right wing narrative btw

maroonpickle.bsky.social•32 days ago

It's horseshoe theory nonsense that only seeks to radicalize centrists to the alt-right.

orsonyells.bsky.social•32 days ago

Closely related.

milotheshroomlord.bsky.social•32 days ago

Not at all. Communists are not the same as red-browns or tankies.

chaoscookies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Fair point. Tankies fit the comparison much better

weinerbones.bsky.social•32 days ago

Have you read Capital?

chaoscookies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Communism is just red fascism keep up

bjoern-buettner.bsky.social•32 days ago

Just because you repeat the nonsense that you read on the internet doesnt make it true.

chaoscookies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Whatever you say cupcake

bjoern-buettner.bsky.social•31 days ago

Maybe you want to tey actual books from time to time, sis.

red-rune.bsky.social•32 days ago

Based

weinerbones.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is just not true

chaoscookies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes it is.

weinerbones.bsky.social•32 days ago

I know you're just trolling at this point but you need to learn the fundamental theoretical differences between these positions or else you just look like a moron

olivemoon.bsky.social•33 days ago

Anthony Mackie is FED UP

olivemoon.bsky.social•33 days ago

And when the fuck did they make a red hulk what is going on over at marvel

grizzlyactual.bsky.social•33 days ago

Idk but he’s been around for 17 years so 🤷

olivemoon.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don't read the comics guess that's why I didn't know lol it's just like every 5 minutes some character has a new facet or skill or backstory

grizzlyactual.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don’t read them either, I just assume when it’s a character I don’t already know that they’ve been in the comics for years lmao

olivemoon.bsky.social•33 days ago

Lmaoo word

gayfesh.com•33 days ago

red hulk's been in the comics for a while

olivemoon.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ah I don't read those I'm not tuned in

the7thfist.bsky.social•32 days ago

Another thing they COULD introduce into the films that's from the comics is Betty Ross becoming the Red She-Hulk.

kassette.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don't care for President Orange, but Red Hulk first appeared in 2008. So unless they purposely made him a metaphor, he's not.

rockstarsparks.bsky.social•32 days ago

LMFAO! His delivery is always on point 😂

tcstudios.bsky.social•33 days ago

• Star in a film about the president becoming a violent creature
• "God why is everything political nowadays?"
• Wait for applause

realjaclynspace.bsky.social•33 days ago

The comparisons may have been more apt if he was Orange Hulk.

khlavkalash.bsky.social•32 days ago

Capt America's archenemy is literally a Nazi. The character can never be separated from politics.

eazymfne.bsky.social•33 days ago

Da fuk? Trump is jaba the hut. That's a compliment

tempomi760.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, stop comparing him to Trump!

...

Red Hulk is way more badass than him! XD

loganthinkshecan.bsky.social•33 days ago

Someone's mad we made fun of his nazi daddy

slash83ttv.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is quite fortunate that they didn't make red hulk yellow but also while it is important to take a break from politics it is also important to be informed and active in it

loganthinkshecan.bsky.social•33 days ago

Perfectly said

thombie.bsky.social•32 days ago

Uhhh, no. Trumpy would’ve been the regular ol’ green Hulk that’s dumber than a bag of rocks who’s just angry for no damn reason whatsoever. Give red Hulk more respect.

moxsoul.bsky.social•33 days ago

We had both since the start of fucking cinema
Y get rid of a huge part of cinema culture
