While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.

it's a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it's absolutely the best idea to ban it

Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can't tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

Edit: ok I'm going to leave this up here because I'm a masochist, but ok I get it. I'm with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn't fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.
