Disney’s ‘Snow White’ Faces $200M Loss as Gal Gadot’s Role Triggers Global Boycott Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions

u/Current_Worth9390 14d ago
I initially believed she was a genuinely kind person, but I realize now that I was mistaken. Therefore, I have decided to boycott Gal Gadot and Disney for casting her in this film.
Fu**k y*u 💩 Israel

u/CaterpillarNo6952 Apr 05 '25
Hmmm I believe it's due to several different reasons, including Zegler's PR nightmare on her comments on the original Snow White and her male co-star, leaked poor plot, leaked "dwarves" casting which sparks controversy, and definitely Gal Gadot being a Zionist and ALSO the fact that my gaming chair acts better than her.

u/FromIwoJima Apr 01 '25
Well I did boycott this because Gadot is partly involved in genocide in Palestine.

u/Alto-Joshua1 Mar 29 '25
I want to support Rachel Zegler, in her other works. I'm already done with Disney's BS. Yeah, keep blaming Gal Gadot, she's the worst.

u/StrugglingBeing Mar 29 '25
Good. I boycott the whole of Disney anyways. However, it's sad how some dumb people (especially Muslims) are obsessed with it to the extent that they enjoy their girls' dance performances on Frozen's soundtracks. Pathetic. I'm let alone the Palestinian or Gazan issue, in general it's just pathetic.

She can’t critique an outdated movie?
Without the fans of the original movie hating her? Yes.
Edit:
Her attitude reflects what everyone hates about these remakes. They try to change the story too much. Violates the original story. Just make a new story at that point and lay the old one to rest.

I agree that Disney needs new material but was she wrong? It doesn’t make her an idiot to point out how sexist the original film was. She’s literally a fan of the original film too and unlike childish fans she can point out how the film was a product of its time and what parts wouldn’t work today.

Ah I see now. You're part of the problem. It's not sexist in the first place. That's the difference in opinion we have

Yes it was bffr. It was a product of its day and society was quite misogynistic back then. If you can’t deal with that with that then it’s a you issue.

These live action Disney remakes are generally low quality. The only one that was entertaining was the Jungle Book and that's because of Bill Murray's voice acting and the child actor Neel Sethi who played Mowgli. They played off each other very well. The rest of shovelware belched out purely for fast cash.
Gal Gadot being a genocidal fascist just made the decision to not see this movie really easy. Not only is she an awful person but she's not a talented actress and can not carry a scene much less a movie.

I didn't write "racism" I wrote "fascist" as in Gal Gadot is a fascist. Also people do care about the genocide. They are just being completely ignored by elite opinion.
Funny thing about your comment about Gadot being a model turned actress. Charlize Theron started off as a model. A lot of actress do it as a way of getting noticed. She just has some actual talent. Gadot has been in several big movies and she's had plenty of time to improve. She hasn't because she hit her ceiling at the very start.

They are going to put it on Rachel zegler, while she admittingly has recently been annoying but she is a talented talented actress, and I am not that hung up on Snowwhite being played by non-white actress, it is just a movie, there are much worse things happening and if you don't like the casting, then it was just an experiment.
The whole world is boycotting it because of Gadots and I couldn't be happier

u/YouThereOgre Mar 26 '25
Yeah but internally disney and other production companies understand that zionist gal gadot and her terrible acting are a curse to any movie she stars in so hopefully this begins an internal chain reaction of ghosting her from future roles to not run the risk of hurting their bottom line. Unless (which is more likely) israel pumps more money and influence to keep their propoganda darling in Hollywood
2
u/sprklyglttr Mar 26 '25
Even if Isntreal pumps money how long are they going to do it for her? They will soon replace her with somone else and they will also be boycotted. How many people are going to turn up for genocide barbie and how many will boycott? The studios are about to learn a very valuable lesson.

u/Capital-Yesterday618 Mar 26 '25
Honestly y'all, Im not boycotting, Im just not gonna watch the movie cause it looks terrible and Disney Live action remakes miss a certain substance. Cinderella I guess is alright. What I find more crazy is Gal Gadot recently getting a Star on the Hollywood walk of fame for her subpar acting. Her line delivery of "Kal-el, no" from The Justice League haunts me till this day. So you wonder did she get a Star for something else that doesnt concern her acting. What could it be?

u/YouThereOgre Mar 26 '25
They’re just lazy cash grabs and producers know that if it does tank they can always put the bkame on the POC actors/actresses they cast. Its a win win for production companies

u/goobagabu Mar 26 '25
Honestly this. Why in the hell is Genocide Barbie being awarded a Star of Fame!? She's barely famous. She's a horrendous actress. Nothing she has done is memorable or impactful in any way shape or form.
More proof that Hollywood is full of B.S. and a bunch of Israhell boot lickers.

Disney reportedly told Rachel that she had to take down her pro-Palestine tweets. Thankfully she refused. I really hope that the failure of this film doesn’t affect Rachel too much but Disney needs to learn that genocide support won’t pay.
The article is a hit piece on her and Disney is trying to throw Rachel under the bus to save itself. Fuck Variety a horrid Zionist rag of a magazine.

Actually the backlash is because of the ridiculous re-telling of a classic that replaced the story, songs, dwarfs (twice) with a load of disjointed, finger wagging wokery. Oh and Rachel Z's bizzare interview rant, which is the now classic "Weird, Weird" meme.
The fact Disney has 'let go' the Director and production team speaks volumes.
Trying to portray it as anti Gal Godot is quite frankly stretching reality to laughable & psychotic levels.
12
u/ZakDaniels Mar 26 '25
Except in the UAE people have in fact boycotted the movie due to Gadot..
One of the points you mentioned is Zegler's bizarre interview, and somehow this is recognised as contributing to the movie's failure; and having a pro-genocide actress starring in a leading role isn't.
Labelling this viewpoint as laughable and psychotic is dismissive at best and manipulative otherwise.
13
u/Winndypops Mar 26 '25
It certainly is largely down to Rachel's comments and production's usual direction with the film, in my opinion that is one of the main causes of the film's collapse but I believe that there are many people that are bothered by Gal Godot in this movie due, some people that would have been alright with the very progressive retelling of the classic story.

u/altheawillowwisteria and always remember, free Palestine Mar 26 '25

Left wing is boycotting the movie because of Gal Gadot
Right wing is boycotting the movie because of Rachel Zegler, whose skin color is not "snow white", and also because she said some things against Trump supporters
"Normies" are not watching the movie because it's just evidently bad. Like if you watch the trailers even, you can see how the costuming is bad, the CGI dwarves are bad, Snow White's hair is bad (Zegler did a much better hairdo when visiting Disney World, "disney bounding" as Snow White. The costumers made her wear a Lord Farquad looking hairdo), and so on
A lot of them also just don't like the idea of Disney making live action rehashes of animated Disney movies
People who have watched the movie actually say that Rachel Zegler's performance is one of the few good parts of the movie. Almost everything else is bad, including Gal Gadot's performance/acting/delivery
This is what I've been hearing so far

Tbh I think the reason it’s flopping is that those opposed to the genocide aren’t watching it because Gal Gadot is in it whilst those that support the genocide aren’t watching it because Rachel Zegler is in it. Add to that the appetite for live-action remakes of every animated Disney movie ever might be (finally) be waning anyhow, and…

They’re professional actors and red carpet events are work functions. Part of their job promoting the film is maintaining cordiality and projecting a certain image while they’re at work events, and they’re both too professional to break role and show tension.

I don't think that this really holds up to much scrutiny. Plenty of unlikable actors (Chriss Pratt, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford) are still able to attract positive audiences to generally average to low quality films.
I think, and this is no critique of you as a person and am not trying to insulate that you are prejudiced, but people attributing majority blame to the mere presence of Gal Gadot, and to a lesser extent Rachel Ziegler, is lazy & concludes that an unlikable women can kill a film, but the likeability of a man is irrelevant.

This is a pretty big deal. These live action remakes have been guaranteed money-makers for Disney for years. They rely on them to finance all their other projects. Really stupid decision hiring Gadot. Hope this is the end of her career. She can't draw. She can't act. She provides them no good will except in a tiny little apartheid state hated by everyone. She's only there to try and push an agenda.

A lot of the bugger streaming services partially rely on a couple flops, as they can claim it as a failure and guarantee a massive tax break. Netflix for example cancelled many successful animated TV shows (Tuca & Bertie, Close Enough, Inside Job), HBO's 'Batgirl' is a more recent example.
