Brie Larson hate memes are back and it's really bad

Your co-worker is a fucking idiot. I'm sorry you had to find that out about them.
I had a little brother's friend who was playing Fortnite squads with us say something like "recent Marvel movies are a cancer". It was clear he meant the inclusiveness/not pandering to white straight men only, though when pressed on it and me calling out the idiotic alt-right/MRA rhetoric, he didn't own up to those shitty views and started blabbering about how that wasn't what he meant.
When I first saw Endgame at the theater one of the employees asked me at the end how the film was because he fell asleep during Captain Marvel.
I gave him a look because I thought Endgame was the best film to date and Captain Marvel was great too.
He still doubled down on how he's skeptical on Endgame because he fell asleep during Captain Marvel.
I just left.

Right? Brie seems like a fantastic person, but it's legitimately bonkers that they sat down to write the origin story for the lynchpin of the next era of the MCU, a character who has been both a crack fighter pilot and a super saiyan, and decided to give us about 5 minutes of each of those things while focusing instead on some utterly uninteresing memory loss narrative for the majority of the movie. How do you start with "Top Gun meets DBZ" and wind up with... that?
Quite a few people that I talked to over the past bit said the same thing but it wasn't even their opinion it was more so them saying oh i Heard it was political or I heard Brie did this and said that etc . Got really annoying since they would only latch on to what others opinions were.
If these opinions reinforce what they already believe or suspect then they naturally latch on to it.
Part of me gets it, that the directors and screenwriters wanted to avoid the typical origin story three-act structure that was starting to wear thin by Doctor Strange, but starting halfway through Carol's story and then showing big chunks of it in hazy flashbacks? Didn't work. They also needed a "bridge" moment to re-connect with her life on Earth, like Carol and Maria going back to the bar on karaoke night, and singing 'Crazy on You' re-jogs her memory and allows them to re-connect as friends again, something like that.
The Trump Effect -- 'I heard something, so it's true.' Regardless of, you know, reality.
I've seen some of the comments in those videos and it's like staring into the abyss.
Because this is the plot to that Green Lantern film that sucked. It's derivative shit.
What we actually got, the story of a slave soldier rediscovering her identity, was a lot better.
It's really hilarious how these sexist pieces of shit don't see the blatant irony staring them in their face when they call Brie Larson an evil person for even coming across as arrogant, meanwhile they adore RDJ for doing the same thing. I wonder why.
The bottom line is if these losers were getting laid they wouldn't even be thinking about it. It's just incel-adjacent bitterness, nothing more.

Well shit, if DC of all people tried something and it didn't work, I guess it's impossible for it to be done well. And if that's the case, it probably doesn't bode well for this, the MCU's answer to Superman. Oh well.
There's an *cough* acquaintance who occasionally comes to my weekly gathering of friends who, whenever Captain Marvel comes up in conversation, he proceeds to go on a tirade about how Brie Larson's co-stars supposedly hate her, and how she supposedly has a flat ass and had to have an ass double for the movie, and how much he didn't like her bragging about her own movie. Oh, and he supports Vic Mignogna too.
"Yeah, fuck this woman for saying good things about the movie she stars in. Now let me tell you about this man who made a Star Trek fan film I like, and who is definitely not a sexual predator because Monica Rial won't show us any evidence!"
My friends and I play Smash Bros. every week, and I make it a point to make sure his sexist ass never wins.

Well I finally saw this movie and while it wasn't the lesbian top gun remake I wanted, it was probably the lesbian top gun remake that we needed.
It's a good movie.
It's a good movie.
Like I said, in theory its a good idea to avoid how the typical origin story is getting stale, I just think the execution was lacking and was limp, particularly at developing the new supporting cast other than Maria Rambeau. Anette Bening's Mar-Vel was practically a non-character.
I saw Captain Marvel about a week ago and was confused as to what the hubbub was about for the movie/the character by righties. It's not like she blasted off in the last scene while pointing at the audience and yelling "Trans Rights". It was just a standard Marvel movie with a cool 90s flavour and women characters (not even more women than men). I guess they just hate women *shrug*
all the incel assholes will see that and say, look how she's pushing her feminist agenda on this little kid.
YouTube recommend me a video for some reason about how captain marvel performed badly and we probably/hopefully won't see her in any future mcu movies. The dude in the video was talking about how all websites lie about the box office numbers and are Disney shill sites, and he actually knows the "truth". For a moment I thought it was some troll parody video but then realized it was all serious, and people in the comments were talking about how he is giving them the real info unlike the fake news they see everywhere....like...bruh
That's so woefully naive. Disney have movies that underperform all the time. I suppose sites reporting on misfires like Dumbo and A Wrinkle in Time is just like, misdirection?, to throw us off the scent? Classic.
She's like in it for a total of 2 minutes are they really that mad ?
I get where they're coming from. Endgame is your typical movie with time travel, superpowers and stuff, and Iron Man, Thor and Cap are having a hard time against Thanos. Then a woman appears and she's strong? C'mon, that's unrealistic.
(/s, just in case).
I got a alt righter Video recommendation on how CM sucks or something I don't know didn't made it 10 seconds in when the sjw buzzwords started. I don't watch any movie/marvel vlogs or whatever that is supposed to be. YouTube is complicit as usual in this shit. I never got a recommendation on how "Brie doing x is a good thing" kind of video. It got shoved down my throat out of nowhere. I never even commented on the movie anywhere.
In their defense, they don't seem to be bitching about Scarlet Wtich lmao.
If I had to guess it's because she terrifies them. As Mohadesa Najumi coined, "the woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet."
She literally does not care what anyone thinks about her and says what she wants to say, not what she thinks other people want her to say, and they hate that their opinions of her are meaningless. She isn't paying them any attention and they want it so bad because they think they're meant to be the centre of attention not her.
She's exactly the kind of role model young girls need.
Probably because Scarlet Witch is costumed and shot in such a way that her boobs are pushed up to her chin in 60% of her action scenes.
Its kind of funny how the 'expert' in the video acts like such an unbiased 3rd party that they pretend to not even know who the people in the video are and by the end they have such an obvious axe to grind that there's probably nothing but the shaft left.
Nobody I know personally seems to have any special feelings on captain marvel/Brie Larson one way or the other.

One of the top trending memes on Instagram today is a picture of a news article (which I hope is fake) that reads: Brie Larson Demands More Diversity In Hollywood So Fans Create Petition To Have Her Replaced With Gay Black Woman.
I don't understand why the hate for her is so fucking popular. It's on another level.
It honestly makes me incredibly sad now.

It's not "fans," it's the alt-right pretending to be people of color/queer people like they did during Gamergate's NotYourShield.
Oh god I hate that this excuse works pretty often. I know you weren't defending it but I gotta rant about this shit, my ex has big tits that were grabbed by women and gay men wayyyyy too much. She fucking hated it, it's straight up assault. Whether someone gets hard while doing it shouldn't be a excuse we accept.
Yup. Sexual orientation has fucking nothing to do with whether or not someone was sexually harassed or assaulted, period. Any other take is nonsense.

A flat ass? What the fuck ass baring scene is this guy imagining she needed a double for? I'm sorry your friends keep inviting this person, I hope you can convince them to stop.
You kidding?
There's a brief like 10 second bit where most of the female avengers fighters appear on screen flexing like everyone else
It happens so fast in a multi minute long sequence where ALL the heroes are getting shine
The one he's been imagining this whole time, the filmmakers completely let him down on this one
Having just seen the movie a couple days ago, I'm deeply amused at the notion of needing an ass double as though she were being portrayed on screen like She-Hulk used to be in the comics, because there is nothing like that in the god damn movie
