If Disney/Sony those not sue, that’s because they’re okay with it

oh no someone said something bad about them they will surely change their ways…

Just like they did with countless songs and probably other artwork before. They never ask. And use the "wrong" songs anyhow, songs that explicitely disagree with MAGA ideology. Which could be said about Spiderman too.

Anyhow, I looked at the ad, it shows his hand and the webbing shooting from the wrist, and the spider-webbed queue of people at the end, with an ICE goon standing behind them. Obvious enough but stopping just short of outright plagiarism. Sony will have to have a good think if they really want to sue the government of the USA about that. Maybe they should sue in Japan, not in the USA.

Unbelievable how these fuckers can keep doing that, without ever being held responsible. USA is so fucked up!

Disney/Sony/Nintendo should already be suing their ass off. They either don't do it for fear of reprisal, or they're really okay with it while they don't think twice about fucking an individual life forever in order to 'protect their IP'.

There's nothing right about anything about this bullshit. Both the administration and these private companies are dirtier than trash.

Just the usual subterfuge used to keep peoples mind off the Epstein files.

Crazy the skin color is getting lighter in these ice posters

Some future historian will have to work really hard to decide which ai slop to use to illustrate the use of visual propaganda by the Trump regime. There are so many good examples of images that better not existed, yet are somehow posted on official social media pages.

Trying to lure children with things they typically like is on brand for the Epstein administration.

Perfect fit unfortunately as MCU Spider-man mentor was an Elon Musk adjacent weapons manufacturer and he uncritically uses surveillance state tech.

Sue them so hard.

Obviously, the White House does this because they're attention-hungry assholes. So simply reporting that they did something for attention is really just doing them a favor. And adding comments from random internet users observing how disgusting it is is a further waste of time.

Since we're on the topic, though, I want to call out an issue in a movie I otherwise liked quite a bit: the film normalizes extralegal AI-boosted total surveillance in a way that I think was thoughtless and extremely hazardous to our culture.

A decade ago, when Edward Snowden leaked evidence that the US was indiscriminately collecting information on the whereabouts and habits of Americans in obvious contradiction with our fifth amendment rights, there was at least some sense on the part of the government that they had to deny their guilt. But now, there is a normalization of the concept of a panopticon: a police state in which we all assume that our words, thoughts, movements, and associations are presumably known or at least knowable to some unaccountable watcher.

This is bad. I liked the movie, but its flippant embrace of the assumption that we are all observed at all times, and that this is the state of affairs we must acclimate ourselves to, undeserving of anger and simply beyond our ability to challenge if we wanted to is a very dangerous idea that we need to recognize and engage with.

Not my hecking Marvelrinos
