a brief recap of what has been going on with the sonic movieverse in the past several months:

paramount has come out in public support of israel

keanu reeves, a man who has publicly rubbed elbows with none other than benjamin netanyahu, reportedly gets cast as shadow for the upcoming third movie

james marsden, the guy who plays tom, got exposed as having written a letter of support for a convicted pedophile

there's fucking??? zionist propaganda in the knuckles series???

kind of connected to the last point but adam pally, the guy who plays wade, is evidently pro-israel too

this is a complete and utter joke.

EDIT AS OF 4/30/24: if people see this version of the post, i'd really appreciate it if you reblog it instead of the other versions, as it's the most updated one with all the information that i want included. thank you :]

you know, it's been a few days since i've made this post, and some of you (not most) are staying determined in defending/justifying/giving the benefit of the doubt to keanu for that photo with netanyahu, whether it's because "it was a decade ago," "him being civil to someone he ran into at a party one time doesn't mean anything," "he's probably just silent because his pr managers won't allow him to speak up," etc. i've made my thoughts on the matter quite clear by directly responding to these people, but at this point, i'm tired of both seeing them in my notes and repeating myself, so take this as my final word on the issue.

i can't help it if you don't think the photo with netanyahu is damning, and i'm done engaging with everyone going out of their way to tell me that. i obviously disagree, especially after finding out that 1. the host of the party, arnon milchan, is a former israeli spy who has a history of developing israel's nuclear program and promoting apartheid in south africa (information that had broken out a few months prior to the party and thus would've been fresh news around the time keanu chose to attend) and 2. keanu has been caught hanging around at least two other weirdos, but if you don't find any of that to be cause for reasonable concern, then there really is nothing else i can say afaik.

with all that said, i'm beginning to realize how strange it is that these people's first instinct when seeing this post is to start debating about keanu's political stances without ever acknowledging any of the other bullet points. you guys realize that this isn't just about him, right? i know tumblr reading comprehension is known for being piss-poor, but like… you realize that i was trying to make a point of how there are MULTIPLE terrible things that have broken out about the people and company involved in the sonic movies, right? and yet, a lot of the people leaping to speak on keanu's behalf in my notes are completely ignoring the parts where i bring up paramount, pally, etc. all in favor of zeroing in on the singular point about keanu and making bad faith assumptions about me for holding him accountable. really makes one wonder where your priorities lie if, in a post that talks about so many other things, me accusing an a-list celebrity with, according to google, a net worth of almost $400 million is where you draw the line and apparently the only thing worth your acknowledgment.

ultimately, what i'm trying to say is that the intention of this post was just to gather up everything that i had been hearing for the past several months and put it all together in one place. there were a bunch of people who didn't know about at least one of the bullet points before seeing this post, and i'm glad that i could help inform them, that was what i was hoping to do! but as for the keanu thing, i've said pretty much all i can say for now, and i don't want to derail the original post even more than i may have already. unless something new comes up, i'm done talking about him.

#@ prev sad to say but no it's not just a rumor. it's verifiable information revealed in a documentary. #his letter of support is even available online in its entirety for anyone to read

[sonicboomseason3]

you're good, and i just wanna say that i don't disagree with anything you said. wasn't trying to imply that i think sega ever genuinely had based politics, like it's still very much a megacorp and sonic is still very much the mascot of said megacorp lol. i guess i'm just singling out the scu given recent developments and how hard shadow's story in sa2 hit for a lot of fans (ignoring the direction they took him in subsequent games), it's kind of like a case of "oh they're probably not gonna get what made sa2 so special to everyone all those years ago"

you know at this point this is far from the main issue but given the scu's track record i highly doubt they would even bother portraying maria's death in a faithful manner. or at the very least they wouldn't do it without pulling a "oh but that was just a one-time little oopsy from the military, we're not actually bad guys!"

#idk i hope i'm wording this clearly

[sonicboomseason3]

movie!shadow learns to accept the systemic powers that be after sonic's cop father gets through to him (thus replacing amy's role in sa2) and seeing that these people are ultimately working for the sake of the greater good. then he goes to have dinner at olive garden with the whole gang + the gun commander where wade offers to adopt him (just like in those ao3 fics) so now shadow too has a cop father and as a bonus has an aunt in the fbi. that's it that's why the knuckles series focuses so much on wade, they're setting him up for the movie. i've cracked the code

you know at this point this is far from the main issue but given the scu's track record i highly doubt they would even bother portraying maria's death in a faithful manner. or at the very least they wouldn't do it without pulling a "oh but that was just a one-time little oopsy from the military, we're not actually bad guys!"

yes thank you and everyone else who has brought this, along with how he trained with IOF special ops vet aaron cohen to play john wick, up in the reblogs. when i made this post, the only thing i really knew about was the photo with netanyahu, and i've since made a follow-up that mentions the two other issues and even edited the original post accordingly, but unfortunately that's not the version that's being spread around so even now i'm still getting a bunch of people trying to argue that the party/photo isn't actually THAT bad and he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

anyway another thing about the party that i found out like yesterday is that it was hosted by a man who had admitted a few months earlier to having helped develop israel's nuclear program and promoted apartheid in south africa so like. even if netanyahu hadn't been there keanu would've still been trash for accepting the invite.

"why cant you just look at tom and wade as people?" well you see, they arent 'just people'. they are fictional chatacters. who are being used to push copaganda. I cant believe I am still having this conversation

[sonicboomseason3]

i absolutely can find keanu weird for choosing to attend a party hosted by an israeli billionaire who used to work heavily in developing a nuclear program for israel when he could've just not gone, the fuck? do you think arnon milchan is just your standard hollywood producer or something because i found this after looking into his background for like 5 minutes:

and before you start questioning if this information came out after keanu went to this party: the article here that talks about it is dated november 2013. the party was in march 2014. this news would've been fresh at the time. so yeah, unless milchan personally went to keanu's mansion and put a gun to his fucking forehead demanding that he come to his party, i don't want to hear anyone insinuate that keanu had no agency in this situation.

and while you're at it, do you wanna also make excuses for him hanging out with a trump-supporting white supremacist of a cop who pumped bullets into a man in his own free time? or are "shootin' newton" just some two words that came to him randomly and he didn't actually know what they meant?

Re: James marsden

I do wanna add that that there's a really good reddit post explaining him and pecks relationship and its legit so fucking weird.

In terms of tht man not saying shit there's speculation that it's because he's got a movie coming out in May ans his pr team told him to shut the fuck up

https://www.reddit.com/r/QuietOnSetDocumentary/s/fldhSacxk1 (I'm not sure if hyperlinks work, I can reply w a link lol)

admittedly a lot of stuff in this link is rather speculative but i'm still posting it because i actually didn't know about any of this and think this could be pretty useful context for people who want to learn more about that whole deal

#mailbox #atomlion #james marsden #i mean he still wrote that letter which isn't like. great. but at least this kind of explains how and why he knew the guy

#i am NOT the person who needs to show a bit of humanity here.

[sonicboomseason3]

this is really fucked up, but one of the reasons why actors tend to not speak out on big political topics is because on some contracts, production companies will include clauses such as not being able to publicly contradict their political beliefs. this is enforced through either monetary penalties and non disparagement agreements, but they both serve the same purpose of having a legal precedent to publicly punish actors who do it

i was originally just gonna respond to this with an "ok" and nothing else but then i caught a good handful of people in my notes dickriding an actor who doesn't even know that they exist (and really only him because i haven't seen anyone doing the same for marsden or pally) so ykw how about i just take this opportunity to bring up a couple of other sketch things that keanu has done that show that he isn't nearly as cool as everyone wants to believe:

the party with netanyahu isn't actually the only time he's rubbed elbows with a prominent israeli - he actually trained with IOF special ops vet aaron cohen in order to play john wick (and on the off chance that anyone wants to dismiss cohen as some guy who was just in the IOF decades ago and left that shit behind, just take a look at his history here). cohen on his own is just an absolute piece of work and a cursory glance at his social media should tell you everything in case the past couple of sentences didn't

and since people want to play the fucking "keanu attended that party a decade ago!!1!" card with me (interestingly enough nobody's doing the same for marsden even though the thing with him was way back in like 2004) i'll go for something relatively recent: he's friends with killer cop toni mcbride. in 2020 mcbride shot and killed daniel hernandez and subsequently got sued by his family for it (guess whose movies they've requested that people boycott?). around the 0:10 mark of this video of the two of them meeting up, they make jokes about "shootin' newton," which is a chant lapd newton division cops came up with to reference the high amount of police shootings that happen there. also in case none of this is enough for you mcbride's a proud trump supporter so yeah she's just a full-on white supremacist and keanu not only decided to hang out with her for a day but also evidently knew enough about the lapd to know about "shootin' newton"

but back to anon's original point, am i supposed to care that he could potentially get fined for saying shit? this past week, hundreds of college students and faculty, most if not all of whom are significantly worse off than an a-list celebrity like keanu, have been brutalized and arrested for protesting the genocide on campuses. and somehow an actor with a net worth of $380 million can't say or do anything lest he run the risk of being fined or fired or whatever

#mailbox #sonic movie #sth #sonic the hedgehog #keanu reeves #shadow the hedgehog #btw thank you to everyone in the notes of that other post who brought both the cohen and mcbride thing to my attention

[sonicboomseason3]

i don't give a shit that the knuckles show has jewish people in it, if that was all there was then it wouldn't have been a bullet point, and you can go fuck yourself for insinuating otherwise <3

since you apparently can't read, the issue is the part where wade describes krav maga as "israeli self-defense" when it's actually been a martial art developed and used by the IOF - and describing it as "self-defense" in april 2024 after paramount has proudly stated its support for israel is a HUMONGOUS red flag to say the least.

idgaf that it's only one line or that the show was apparently written way back in 2022. that shit should absolutely not have stayed in the script and while i haven't seen the show i can't imagine that the story would've been any different without it.

#also you and all the other keanu dickriders can gtfo of my notes

[sonicboomseason3]

I don't think you should post callout posts and spread misinformation based on singular public interactions from a decade ago.

out of context, this looks like you're criticizing me for calling out some poor random tumblr user for something they said a long time ago and not

AN A-LIST CELEBRITY ACTOR WHO'S BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES I THINK IT'S OKAY IF ONE RANDOM ONLINE BITCH POINTS OUT SOMETHING SKEEVY ABOUT HIM

#ALSO WHAT CALLOUT??? WHAT MISINFORMATION??? #I POSTED TWO SENTENCES AND PROVIDED LINKS AS PROOF THAT THEY HAPPENED. THAT'S IT.
