Pedro Pascal supports Jimmy Kimmel despite Disney lead roles
Actor is lead star of Disney-produced Star Wars and MCU projects
He just keeps going up in my estimation.
Pedro stays based
Remember a few months ago where there was that weird push to get people to dislike Pedro Pascal for some reason? It didn't even have a source other than "He's popular and in a lot of big stuff, so you must hate him."
The reason was his public support of his trans sister.
He seems like a nice dude, but you never know, honestly.
I love Conan, for example, and have been watching his show and listening to his podcast for years now, but I won't delude myself into thinking I know him or what he stands for in his personal life.
Pretty sure no one said "hate him", just that he was turning up in everything. If you want to moan about the internet repeating things to a nauseating degree, you have my support. But the line for those things is LONG. And Pedro aint even at the front of the queue. "Nice" is.
I was feeling a bit supersaturated with Pedro Pascal recently, just because Last of Us season 2 had just aired and he was in both the new Fantastic Four movie and Eddington both in theaters at the same time, but I've never had a problem with the guy and I definitely love how outspoken he is about societal injustices.
Dude is aware of what it's like living in dictatorship in his ancestral country of Chile.
Hang on, Brazil rebuffed Trump's strong arming to go easy on Bolsonaro. And Pedro having the big balls to stand up to Trump. There seems to be pattern of two countries that suffered under a dictatorship. Who again supported the dictatorship in these countries before?
Yet despite all the posturing we've yet to hear a single peep from Mon Mothma. 🤦
Reminder that Pedro Pascal is related to Salvador Allande, democraticly elected communist whom the US overthrew and replaced with a fascist dictatorship.
The coup involved flying a plane into the Capitol on 9/11, 1971
Edit: 1973, and a plane flying missiles into the capitol building.
I assume you mean 1973.
By flying a plane into the capitol you mean using military planes to fire rockets at the La Moneda Palace.
LOL. I guess history doesn't have to be accurate.
Might as well just change the headline to say: "Pedro Pascal is on the right side of history" because like most others here on the federated internet he knows what's up and for him it probably started with his sister coming out.
::: spoiler All it takes is a little wake up call.
And now I'm thinking of the movie The Matrix again..

And if you're looking to support Pedro Pascal, may I interest you in this little (scifi-western) independent film he made with Sophie Thatcher?
For anyone out of the loop:
Give a spoiler warning next time.
Oh, Prospect is great!
Maybe Disney didn't expect the subscription backlash and it's trying to reduce losses by asking it's spokespeople to give them a reason to "cave"
Maybe it's just Pascal being a good dude. Hard to know sadly, hope it's the 🪜.
If you zoom in on that emoji, you can see in the background where The Undertaker is throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeting 16 feet through an announcer's table.
At the current rate things are deteriorating, I reckon Pedro Pascal has about 3 months left of being a US citizen :(
90% of new movie lead roles about to open up
This is the way.
He's already a millionaire and there are other studios....
You can get blocklisted in Hollywood very easily just by pissing off one studio. These tv executives definitely talk to each other.
I suppose, though in these days there are a few more options if that happens. He's quite beloved though, so I think it would be a mistake for any studio to do that since backlash is realtime nowadays.
It's a lot harder to do stuff like that these days, especially with social media...
I'm a bit tired of seeing him in so much so suddenly, but if it's going to be anyone I'm glad it's someone as moral as Pascal.
the only way to hurt disney is people cancelling thier disney+, espn, hulu plus subscription. it will be hard for marvel and SW fans to cancel it, since thier so addicted to the franchises. there is a reason why disney is shoveling so much MARVEL garbage to the streams, its keeping ti afloat.
"They are" doesn't have an "i".
To conjoin those two words, you delete the "a" from "are", replace it with an apostrophe, and push them up together, getting: "they're"

Can they keep going to the parks, watching the movies in theater, and buying the merch?
Cause streaming isn't a significant part of their business.
Well it's not the only way, Disney was a company much before streaming services. The streaming part is low hanging fruit though.
what the fluff is up with the picture of kimmel they chose in the thumbnail??
He's out of a job so he needs to look slobby and disheveled!! News articles have always gotta choose a picture that fits the way they want to portray the person's response to the situation, even if it's actually from years ago. It's one of my favorite things to see because it's just so funny.
Is this guy ever anything but awesome?
I don't want to see him in all the things, but I'm damn not complaining about how much he's in.
As someone who got to this level of fame later in their career he's probably also been smart with his money and is now set for life freeing him up to act like a normal person.
LOL if he cared about Disney ethics he wouldn't have been making movies for them in the first place.
Oh. My. God.
"[Actor/Actress] speaks out against Disney / in support of Kimmel"
Lemmy:
Can we not just appreciate the high-profile support here? Is nothing ever good enough for you people? What does it freaking take to satisfy you??
Lemmy:
Specific dipshits who happen to be on Lemmy*
They speak only for themself.
Capt. Janeway, Ensign Kim has been making inappropriate overtures towards seven of nine, and it's making her uncomfortable. After your clear and rational argument regarding the Mandalorian guy, what do we do?
yup, and F4 was not a good movie with him in it.
