After the incident with George Floyd and the protests from the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, any sign of racism is being targeted for removal from film and television.
But now they have gone after the MCU, and netizens are asking that ‘Civil War’ change its name.
The move gained momentum on Twitter, where we learned that the “Civil War” tag was removed from a college football game between Oregon and the state of Oregon. So netizens want the MCU to follow suit.
The problem with using “Civil War” in the title is that “it not only demeans and belittles the brave African-American men & women who fought for their rights in the 1800s but also devalues the strong ancestral leaders of today’s fight against racism, ” they expressed on Twitter and similar to this message there are many who agree, even an actor from the MCU has expressed their concern.
So far Marvel Studios has not given an answer on its position on this matter, but after four years of its release, it would be unlikely that anything would change, but not impossible.
The reactions to this movement is divide, just like the events in the movie, the Avengers are segregated based on a major decision.
@Marvel and @MarvelStudios need to change the name of #CivilWar immediately. It not only demeans and belittles the brave African-American men & women who fought for their rights in the 1800s but also devalues the strong ancestral leaders of today’s fight against racism.
