Snow White (2025) – Not the disaster you were promised, but not exactly groundbreaking either. Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen steals the show (when she’s on her A-game), Zegler sings beautifully, and the fairytale vibes are strong. But… can we - I don't believe I'm about to say this - talk about the dresses? 👀 Full review here ⬇️ #SnowWhite #Disney #RachelZegler #GalGadot #DisneyLiveAction #MovieReview

How You Met…
Female Justice League Headcanons
Kara Zor El / Supergirl (Sasha Calle)
Tumblr media
You were a warrior, trained by your mother Diana to fight the battles humanity never could. You joined Kara, Batman, and the two Barrys in their battle. You saved Kara’s life and she’s been stuck like glue to you ever since. Even after the big universal reset, you and Kara found your way back to one another.
Barbara Gordon / Batgirl (Leslie Grace)
Tumblr media
You were a villain, a low level one. But the moment you met Batgirl’s eyes, you knew you wanted to change sides. You saved her as she saved you.
Bailey Allen / the Flash (Chloe Grace Moretz)
Tumblr media
You worked in the same crime lab as Bailey. You were the one person who loved seeing her and naturally you gravitated to one another. Then she told you she was the Flash and now you work as her person in the chair.
Allison Currey / Aqua Woman (Bailey Bass)
Tumblr media
Despite being a fierce fighter, Allison Currey found herself tangled in one of your father’s fishing nets. She swears she did it on purpose just to meet you but you’re never quite sure. Hasn’t stopped you from loving her.
Diana Prince / Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot)
Tumblr media
Diana wanted to stop and enjoy all that life had to offer. That’s how she ended up in your little coffee shop. Her smile enchanted you. Her giggles at your terrible jokes made you fall in love with her. She became a frequent daily visitor. What you didn’t know was that she flew half way across the world every day just to see you.
Mary Bromfield / Shazam! (Grace Caroline Currey)
Tumblr media
You were a student of Doctor Fate, assigned to keep track of all magical based heroes. You took the role of a fellow student at Mary’s college, became fast friends and then crime fighter partners and then lovers. Doctor Fate is not exactly pleased with that last one.

1984 Gal Gadot Wonder Woman is a rapist.
In this particular instance, that is how she was written. Poorly and in a way that generally does not reflect the character but is very much like her father.
Evidently, so is the written X-Men Angel in a particular instance.
If there is someone legitimately involved who can't consent during sex, whether through unconsciousness or body snatching—something that blatantly violates individual consent to begin with—that is rape.
We don't get to side step the issue in certain circumstances because two people who are completely disregarding the life of an entire other human being are being so disgustingly selfish that how this person feels was never even considered.
The thing people keep forgetting is that the body snatching makes Steve Trevor, who participated, also a rapist. As well as Psylocke. Neither considered the body and life of the person they were snatching because that person was nobody to them. But an analogy makes this more easily seen when you consider a scenario where this nobody is someone who has a life, a spouse or family, and yet is still stolen from it and their body forced to have sex with someone they don't even know.
Let's use another. What if this person does know them? Consider it to be a spouse of the Wonder Woman or Angel in the scenario, who is body snatched by their former lover.
Do you think that person wouldn't have every right to be furious upon discovering that the person who is supposed to love them used their body to have cheat on them with someone they formerly loved? By all accounts, this would be considered spousal rape and cheating.
It makes no difference whether a spouse is involved or not though, it's still rape because their body is being used and they can't consent. On the other hand, I highly doubt Wonder Woman or Angel would simply allow their bodies to be used by someone else to have sex with other people. Reasoning should be apparent. If someone were to body snatch them and do stuff like that we know it would be portrayed as traumatic for the victim and villainous for the perpetrator. It does not change simply because we see a character generally portrayed as a hero doing so and no amount of seeing it is going to make it okay.
For anyone still misunderstanding this, I highly recommend the Tea Consent video which portrays a simple format for understanding consent. Here is a link:
youtube
Just to add to the record. If there's an unconscious person and you have sex with someone else on top of their body or use their body to have sex with someone else or perform sexual acts. That is still rape. It really should not be difficult to understand this in this day and age.
If they can't even say yes to wanting the tea, do not make them drink the tea.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Snow White's trailers
If you are (still) a Disney fan, you have probably saw the trailers of the upcoming (but not awaited) movie SNOW-WHITE
(But not SNOW-WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, because the actress won't be saved by a prince, but neither by her friends, as if needing help was supposed to be bad...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So there is the first trailer, where I was so afraid because it was like the real movie but made uglier :
youtube
The second trailer, where we discover Jonathan, her male love interest, but also the song "Waiting for a wish", that seems to be a really good song :
youtube
And the new trailer, where we discovers her childhood. At least it makes a difference from the original movie where we didn't knew anything about her parents.
youtube
It doesn't looks as bad as I feared it would be.
Even though the CGI are awful 😱
Rachel Zegler as Snow-White
Rachel Zegler as Snow-White... Well, I don't hate her, but I don't like her. I won't talk about all the problematic things she said or made. 🙄
 I'm not judging on her beauty, but, god, the costumes are so bad. She is supposed to dress like a servant, but it's so ugly 😱
 But, honestly. She is supposed to be the most beautiful woman? In the inside, maybe? I mean, I am not judging her body, but her haircuts in the movie is so bad 🤢
I'm not mad at her for being a Latina actress even though Snow-White is supped to have the whitest skin. They can changes her origins, okay. That's already been done with this movie with Miranda Richardson as the Queen. You can watch the entire movie :
youtube
But what's the point of changing her personality too? We already got Kristen Stewart and Ginnifer Goodwin as "strong female characters" versions of Snow White.
I've seen countless of videos mocking how "weird, weird" Rachel Zegler is. It's not that I hate her, it's just that the way she talks about Snow-White is disrespectful and not sincere.
I really recommend you these videos, they are so funny 🤣
youtube

Gal Gadot playing Evil Queen
So far the only reason I wanted to watch the movie was Gal Gadot as Evil Queen / Queen Grimhilde 😍, and based on the trailer she looks exactly like the character in the movie. However, her costumes on promotional pictures are... well, it looks god on her, but il not sure it looks regal enough. It looks more like Madame de Tremaine, Cinderella's stepmother, than Evil Queen.
But her costumes in the trailer are awesome (maybe too dark though, but it suits the character), and at least she changes a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Huntsman played by a Black actor
Gal Gadot would be my only reason to watch the movie, but now I've discovered that the English actor Ansu Kabia will play the Huntsman 😍 Since he is a Black man, we can be sure he'll play a more important role in the movie and won't be killed by the Queen.
Tumblr media
If the movie was as woke as people says, maybe it would end with the Black huntsman capturing the whiteboy or white prince and taking him as his sissy boy lover 🤣.
Tumblr media
That's why Devin Dickie invented a story (Snowden White & the Evil Queen) where the Prince is transformed into a Princess to serve Black men and white women as their slave.
Tumblr media
Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, not Prince
The only thing I wanted to discover from the trailer is Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, a new character who isn't Prince Florian.
Tumblr media
It's seems that him and Snow-White will meet in the Queen's castle, because he is a thief. I don't dislike his haircut...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least they will have time to talk, I hope.
Tumblr media
What's sure is that Jonathan is supposed to be a "Robin Hood".
Tumblr media
He is so beautiful, and i want their love story to be interesting, convincing and moving
Tumblr media
Rachel Zegler said that Snow White "won't be saved by Prince Charming". Yes, since he isn't Prince Florian here, but a new character.
We'll have the "I don't need your help" moment, even though he protected her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thanks to the trailers, we already knows they'll meet at least twice before the end of the movie, including one when Snow-White is living with the dwarfs.
Tumblr media
Snow White versions
I think I'll always prefer MIRROR MIRROR and the SNOW-WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN saga. First because there was my two childhood gods Armie Hammer as Prince Andrew Alcott (MIRROR MIRROR) and Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman (SNOW-WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN) 😍
But also because they had their own visuals, like MIRROR MIRROR was the light and colorful version with sparkles and song, a little bit childish but really funny and cute 😊
That's my story about Andrew Alcott, Armie Hammer's character, where he is worshipped
SNOW-WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN was really dark and terrifying with sexual tension (and Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna is one of my first awakening to femdom kink, and i love her dresses 🥰)
So, to conclude, I hope Jonathan will be an interesting character and have a good love story with Snow White 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And i love these cute drawings inspired by the upcoming movie 😊 You'll find the link of the Twitter account of the artist below.

For years and years later she encountered physical and emotional pain because of her captors, witnessed horrors inflicted upon her fellow slave friends,, and lived in fear. the trauma she experienced left deep scars, physically and mentally shaping her into a resident but wounding a deep individual.

(Second Draft Version) Incoming Text for @natalieportman:
Dear Natalie,
I just want to remind you that just because I’m quiet and ignoring you doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned you.
You’ve been my student for the past 12 months now, since January 2024. You’ve seen and heard things that have helped you become wiser and a better decision-maker—do you agree? You can see everything clearly now, correct? It’s not as clouded as it used to be back in January 2024.
This is why I want to remind you: we are all running a marathon, not a sprint. Along the way, we may feel tired and worn out, but it’s crucial to endure the pressure and keep moving forward, no matter how challenging things may seem. Together, we’ll reach the finish line.
You should also keep this important reminder in mind:
I am supporting the Portman family, not Israel.
I am supporting the Kunis family, not Israel.
I am supporting the Gadot family, not Israel.
I cannot carry the problems of Israel on my shoulders; it’s simply beyond human capability. I’m not built for that level of responsibility. However, I can support the Gadot, Kunis, and Portman families—that is manageable and within my capacity.
I hope you all realize that our world is filled with hatred. People often treat each other cruelly, and whenever someone tries to do good, there will always be those who attempt to obstruct it. In today’s world, doing good almost feels like it’s being outlawed.
The evil people in this world be like, “How dare you do good? Who gave you permission to make a positive difference?”
This is why you must confront the reality of our time—it’s the apocalypse. Anyone who tries to do good is met with immense hate and opposition. Am I wrong? Haven’t you all faced resistance every time you’ve tried to do something good?
Evil people are like dictators, and you must outwit them. Use your problem-solving skills to stay one step ahead.
I encourage Natalie, Mila, and Gal Gadot to binge-watch the TV series Prison Break. You’ll learn so much from this series. The survival skills of Michael J. Scofield will help your families deal with the anxiety and pressure you all face during this apocalypse. It’s basically a survival school, teaching you how to navigate a corrupt system—because, let’s face it, we’re all prisoners of this massive surveillance-driven system.
NATO territory is one huge prison where everyone is under surveillance. If you want to survive, you need to adopt Scofield’s skills.
Here are the links to the Wikipedia pages you requested:
Michael Scofield - Wikipedia - (click on the blue link)
Prison Break - Wikipedia - (click on the blue link)
The difference between me and you is my vision. Never forget this: I see things that you don’t.
You see this world as Disney World, full of delight, but I see it as a giant prison. That’s the difference between our perspectives.
To survive this apocalypse, you should hide all your secrets with the Kapoor family. They’ll help Natalie, Mila, and Gal Gadot protect their secrets in India, far from NATO’s watchful eyes.
During the past 12 months, you’ve learned invaluable lessons that will help you survive. You should read my letters in the archives like a novel with many chapters—it’s entertaining, and you’ll gain new insights every time.
Everything you’ve learned in 2024 came from my letters. They’ve provided you with guidance and understanding. That’s the whole point: to educate and guide you.
Also, you’ll always have a special place in my heart, but we both know we can’t be lovers. It would only waste our time and energy. Life under constant surveillance makes romance complicated. We’re better off as friends. Don’t you agree? I know you do. Romance would bring unnecessary headaches for both of us.
I’ve told the same thing to Gal Gadot and Mila Kunis. Too many haters in this world. Friendship is better; it avoids so much drama.
Remember:
Gal Gadot cares about me, but not her community.
Mila Kunis cares about me, but not her community.
Natalie Portman cares about me, but not her community.
It’s the communities filled with hate, not the women.
Also, about Natalie—whenever I think about her, I call Tori Black. She looks like you. After I’m done, I move on easily. Problem solved.
Angelo be like: “Tori Black is the doppelganger of Natalie Portman? Close enough—fine with me.”
Fun fact: Did you know Chris Brown stole Tori Black from me? She’s in love with him now because of his slow songs. Tori Black says, “I’m in love with Chris Brown; he sings so good.”
I forgive him, though. He’s an awesome singer—I listen to his songs too.
Lastly, I know you’re obsessed with my wealth. You lose sleep thinking about what you can’t have, don’t you?
You should be friends with Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg. I even encourage you to have a romantic relationship with Bryan. He’s a cool Jewish guy. I vouch for him.
Gal Gadot, Mila Kunis, and Natalie should all consider Bryan Greenberg. He’s trustworthy and can protect your financial secrets.
Remember to defend Bryan Greenberg. He’s the only one allowed to protect your secrets.
So, Natalie, do you see anyone else helping you access $1.5 trillion in assets? I didn’t think so. Protect Bryan Greenberg—he’s the plug.
Jamie Chung is my Queen, and Bryan will always be in our lives. Protect him.
This was fun.
Love you, Natalie! Big hugs for you.
King Angelo (Notice I’m not a Crown Prince anymore? I’m a King now.)
P.S.:
Synopsis of the Letter:
The letter is addressed to Natalie, and it serves as a reminder of the lessons learned over the past 12 months. The writer reflects on their journey together, emphasizing the importance of endurance in life's challenges and reinforcing that the writer supports specific families—Portman, Kunis, and Gadot—without carrying the broader weight of Israel's issues. The writer acknowledges the world's cruelty and encourages Natalie to develop survival skills like those of Michael Scofield from Prison Break in order to navigate a corrupt system.
The writer also advises Natalie and others to form discreet relationships with Bryan Greenberg to protect their financial secrets during this "apocalypse," asserting that he is the only one trustworthy enough for this role. The writer touches on their inability to be romantically involved with Natalie, proposing instead that Natalie pursue a relationship with Bryan Greenberg, while reinforcing their own romantic commitment to Jamie Chung. The letter concludes with the writer’s declaration of their new identity as a king, not just a crown prince.

Hollywood sure knows how to cast actors for the role of an Egyptian, but some producers just feel like following the Afrocentric agenda (yikes!)
While a lot of Hollywood productions that feature Egypt(ians) are nothing but.. embarrassing, whether it was before or after the trend of Afrocentrism, as they were "played by non-Egyptians in bronze face" (Nour), like The Mummy (1999), Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014), and others.
Nour writes, "Actual Egyptians, and Arabs more broadly, usually performed the roles of a bumbling sideshow act in these movies: stealing treasures from ancient tombs or summoning evil spirits with the help of the occult; typifying the very worst stereotypes of Orientalist fantasy."
There is a not-very-fine line between cultural appropriation and appreciation, and this line needs to be drawn as bold as possible here.
There is definitely no shortage of Egyptians who can speak flawless English and have the talent to be starring Hollywood movies, a few of them would be: Oscar-winning Rami Malek, Omar Sharif, Mena Massoud, Rosaline Elbay, and May Calamawy (some of whom were actually casted in Egyptian roles). Yet, for some reason, Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress, was chosen to play Cleopatra --- and it is her in one production, or Adele James (black actress) in another. I mean, hello? Egyptians and Greeks are still here and would like to have a say in the representation of one of their most iconic historical figures?
I agree with Nour's argument when he writes that "the historical persona of Cleopatra is not some imaginary idea which can be re-created according to people’s whims and wishes. She is a Queen of Egyptian history and it is the right of the Egyptian people to have a say in her portrayal. As the son of Egyptians, who is proud of his eclectic heritage, his people and his culture, I say, boldly and defiantly: I am Cleopatra."
