Brie Larson the frontrunner for Captain Marvel - Page 20

I just know that it's ESPECIALLY rude and disrespectful that he decided to say that on a month that honors women for their achievements and virtues.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Also

at "women" and "virtues" in the same sentence.

The whole concept of blank History Month is stupid. History is history, everyone should know it, celebrate it, and learn from it every day, not just on a certain month. Also, I wasn't aware Brie Larson represented all women. Guess that's why it's okay for her to take the role of Captain Marvel rather than let some black woman take it.

*sdp* · 03-03-2019, 09:23 PM

Brie Larson is ugly. It seems odd for Marvel to market this movie so much on it being a girl superhero movie, sure it's the first MCU one but DC beat them to the punch so it'll be hard to replicate that. Then again the MCU brand alone should help the movie no matter what so I doubt it'll bomb.

I wish Shazam was premiering this month too, the REAL captain marvel. I'll care for the MCU one when she's called Miss Marvel and has her 90s outfit.

I think Brie is pretty hot, but that's about all she's got going for her.

I'll catch hell for this, but I'm generally not a fan of women "actors". "Acting" often involves a wide emotional range and an ability to express that range, and requires people to contort their facial expressions into some rather "unattractive" looks. Women are inherently afraid of appearing "not attractive" and thus don't throw themselves as deeply into a role as your average Brando or Gary Oldman would.

Most women can play ONE role extremely well, and then just parlay that across many roles across a career. Many famous actresses have publicly admitted to all of this, so it seems like a tough point to argue with.

I wouldn't call Brie Larson a "bad" actress any more than I would call Gal Gadot a "good" actress. They're all pretty equal, if we're being honest.

Oh, no! Someone was disrespectful of a particular female actor during whatever month, in one particular topic on one particular forum!! The HORROR!! Now female movements will be compromised forever and they might even lose voting rights, because of this post!!
I AM LEGIT SHOOOOOOOOOOK!!!

This problem exist because of patriarchal society and not because of women inability to act.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-04-2019, 12:28 AM

I'm a big fan of women actors. There are many that are beasts, that throw themselves into a part.

Brie seems perfectly serviceable as Captain Marvel. Right now she is somewhere around... Goldie Hawn, circa 1986. With less diverse parts and far less charisma.

Did not deserve an Oscar for "Room." I was excited to see that and I did, maybe 2 months ago. Played like a Lifetime movie... where, kind of like Captain Marvel, the direction seemed to have been to keep her emotions as muted as humanly possible. And that's fine, that makes sense for the part. But that's not like a leap in acting history or anything... it's just a study in doing basically nothing.

That said, she was a lot of fun in 21 Jump Street as kind of the plucky foil/love interest. Haven't seen her in anything else.

It's not even that she's giving a blank stare. Mia Jovovich in those awful Resident Evil movies is an example of an actress giving a blank stare. Contrary to what some are saying about her being stiff, Brie is actually conveying an emotion here: complete and utter boredom. She looks genuinely unexcited to be involved in one of the biggest franchises of all time. Christ, it's not like she's even a bad actress, because she's shown that she can be likeable in other films, too.

You just know she's an uppity bitch in real life.

I loathe those movies with an honest passion.

I don't know about her in real life, but if I had to conjecture based on interviews and role choices... she seems like a blond, somewhat more attractive Daria come to life.

*Papenbrook* · 03-04-2019, 06:46 AM

You guys seem to be misunderstanding her role in the arc.

She's supposed to show little emotion; she's a stoic woman. She's doing her part perfectly.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-04-2019, 11:51 AM

Obviously a cheap shot, but... lol...

Damn, there's a lot of Brie Larson hate in here right about now...

I've only seen her in one thing, I think. She was forgettable. We'll see how this goes.

There is a difference between being stoic and being brickfaced.

Of course, I haven't watched the movie, as anyone else here, I assume, but in general, it looks like she is less of a first and more of a second.

Nah... Not really, it was pretty tame until Penbrook started to call other members sexist for not being excited for a movie, trying to start fights essentially. It literally started with a stupid rotten tomatoes comment.......
I swear this place is like a soap opera sometimes

some people think this place is the wild west.

I've seen the real wild west, and it'd split your cowboy spiked boots.

although the MO of Papenbrook is how it starts to get that bad.

Let me clarify; a lot of people hating on Brie Larson's performances, not calling her out as a horrible human being.

Which I entirely agree with, based on my limited viewing history of BL.

Although there are a few people criticizing her looks. And, well... she's an actress. People gonna like her looks or hate her looks. Either way, that's their right. Myself, I ain't no 10 but yeah, Brie doesn't do it for me either.

To sum, it's a shame this movie has to be so polarizing in its marketing. I don't remember a bunch of "White people, this movie isn't for YOU!" for Black Panther a year... wait, was it only a year? Damn. A year ago.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-04-2019, 12:46 PM

I'm definitely still going to see the movie and I'm definitely not telling anyone to not see it, it's just... unfortunate the angle they're taking to market it. And pretty much everything that comes out of Brie's mouth when there's a microphone in her face when prompted to talk about the movie.

Though I admit... given everything that's going on, I'll probably be a little upset if when she shows up out of left field in Avengers: Endgame -- you know, the culmination of 11 years of MCU movies -- and just smashes Thanos silly. It's not earned.
