What if I am offended by Christian characters, something wildly inappropriate for young impressionable minds?

Honestly it is two faces of the same coin
Yeah I'm being facetious and flipping that coin over 🙂
Don’t watch it! We should always vote what we like with our wallets. If we all do, it will all figure itself out.
Disney be like: "Friendship ended with rainbow capitalism, now christian capitalism is my best friend."
Any way the wind blows...
Doesn't really matters to me.....
Nothing seems to be holy to these 'Christians'. Some are making terrible jokes about all Muslims having to deal with the consequences of hell, because of their fake believe - Others are even joking about the holocaust.. why do you even need a book if you have no morals?
Most Christians don't read the Bible. Of those that do, most don't understand it. Of those that do understand it, most aren't Christians anymore.

The State Religion, I guess.
boo Disney. Spineless.
Spineless? They're rainbow capitalists through and through. Fuck them.
No, they aren't. They're just capitalists and will say and do whatever makes them the most money. Previously, that was slapping rainbows on shit, but now it's not.
But yes, absofuckinglutly fuck then.
Disney has a history of gay censorship, and seem to have Christian movies every year à la Christmas
Religion or LGBT is a false dichotomy and shit like this just fuels division.
Fuck you Disney
Yup. Disney doesn't stand for anything. They just pander to wherever they think the money is.
Really hope Jesus makes his comeback via an appearance on RuPaul. The bible does say it will be unexpected.

Priesthood was a religious answer for gay men historically, before more modern sects that are openly accepting. The modern non-denominational Christian churches are just cancer.

it was only a matter of time. Ms Marvel had openly Muslim characters and Turning Red had Buddhists.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Chronicles of Narnia
Crazy how they just gave up on the Narnia series. You'd think the original YA novel series would have been easy to punch up and deliver as AAA Cinema slop. Instead the whole thing fell apart inside three films (the first two of which were fairly well received, and riding tight on the LotR blockbuster adaptation, to boot).
I guess it was just too many characters, too much technical expertise, and too much hard work. Far easier to release a bunch of Sound of Freedom tier psycho-sexual thrillers. Something you can film with a handy cam, a fist full of confused child actors, and a dime bag of columbian white to get Jim Caviezel zooted out of his gord.
Man that third one was such a mess too. I don't understand how they fucked up so bad.
This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007's Bridge to Terabithia.
So it's not really the first then, is it?
An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney's attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content.
This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren't they leaving money on the table like this? "Well, because of Trump." Yeah but how does that matter, specifically? (The article does not go in to detail about that) Is Trump going to compensate them for it??
This article isn't very well written. Many such cases, sadly.
Because it's not about majority rules but the bottom line.
In other words, those 30 some odd percent could be so disgusted by LGBT content that they will cancel. Or stir shit up and cause a boycott. Where as the majority just really doesn't care one way or the other.
The majority may be vocal about this, but that doesn't matter as long as the bottom line isn't affected.
My interpretation is less about pandering to the perceived majority and more about avoiding drawing negative attention from the Trump/Musk administration which is clearly very petty and very receptive to virtue signals. Do they kiss the ring? They get special treatment. Do they do something perfectly within their rights that Trump doesn't like? He'll find some way to make them hurt for it and take whatever concessions they offer to avoid being hurt
Isn't Captain America Christian too? Like, he openly says there's only one God, he goes to church etc.
Marvel doesn't count
- Disney, probably
It could be seen as a product of his time (the 1940s).
Agent Coulson says something like that too, I believe
