Brie Larson is ready for her Star Wars Role

Your sexism.

But honestly, we can forget about what I quoted because you decided to post a blatantly sexist meme about Brie Larson not smiling -- which could literally be done for every male actor in the MCU. So your suit comment doesn't even matter at this point.

Yes, Rian Johnson doing another Star Wars film is just like giving a second presidential term to a white supremacist who is on video admitting to sexual assault.

That is the comparison you decided to make and you apparently did not realize how delusional and stupid it was to think that, let alone type it for the world to see.

Every time I see someone support the movie, one of the key elements is "it subverts expectations!" Those scenes with Kylo and Rey in the trailer that more or less implied they'd join forces? Subverted Expectations! Instead, it's Jedi vs Sith!.....like EVERY OTHER Star Wars movie. It's a murder mystery where the butler actually did it, and people think I should be surprised?

Now, a president who is a white supremacist who is on video admitting to sexual assault? Let's elect him president, what could go wrong? Subverted Expectations! Acting like a tyrant who subverts the constitution at every expectation? Surprise! One group hates him for that...the other worships him for it and pissing off the former. Would you like me to quote one of the users who likes TLJ because it "makes the haters salty"? Especially for defending a Star Wars movie that is highly divisive? Say what you will about it doing comercially well, it's Star Wars, it would be stupid to say it wouldn't make money.

Cheebo said:
What are you talking about lol.

TLJ was a massive critical and commercial success. Some bitter sexist fanboys had meltdowns about it? Boohoo, no one cares about them.

Some of the criticisms were sexist and bullshit. Rose's actress being sexually harassed on Twitter was absolutely not cool. Critically speaking, however, Rose's character sucked. Unfortunately, some people take that to heart a bit too much to harass her off twitter which doesn't matter as the role itself was bad from the beginning. Or would you call it sexist to criticize Rey as well?

Posting a collection of still photos from a film is not "criticizing her acting."

You posted an image that was created with the idea of showing "the woman doesn't smile enough."

If the black thing under Tifa's shirt is supposed to be a sports bra, they're even bigger.

No? If it's not a problem showing basically every single male superhero shirtless, then showing Margot in her bra briefly shouldn't be a big deal either.

I think some people honestly just hate her face. The smile more thing too which is pathetic, it's like a double whammy, they just see resting bitch face which annoys them greatly. I don't get it, she is a nice person, funny and has good things to say while also being a really good actor if you watch her smaller films.

I like Brie Larson and I like TLJ, but this is bullshit. Just because he used a picture that was on reddit at some point does not mean he endorses the rest of what the original poster of the picture says. Even if you don't directly say it, you're making that implication. You're poisoning the well and it's a really shitty thing to do.

If critically speaking she "sucked" and the cloud is bad as you claim why did critics love the movie? 🤔 We aren't talking about a critically panned movie like BvS or Tranformers here.

Oh and most Rey criticism online tends to be pretty sexist. Not saying all is. But calling her a Mary Sue or thinking she is too skilled? Yeah that is sexist. As those complaints apply equally to Luke in the OT.

He posted a picture showing a bunch of times where Brie Larson wasn't smiling as proof of her lack of acting skills after commenting that she "looks weird in the suit."

Again, that same exact picture could be made and spread everywhere for every single male actor in the MCU. But it's not. Why is that?

The entire Brie not smiling/same face thing meaning she is a bad actress, which is what this image is for, is a blatant sexist attack against her. There is no reason to post that here even if he didn't mean to post it in that context (and I am not saying he did), the image itself was created for a sexist attack against Brie.

It's not hard to ask to not post sexist memes here, even if the poster posted it not realizing it was a sexist meme.

Don't think she is a good actress? Fine. But don't post a sexist meme about her not smiling equaling her being bad.

Because a critic looks for one thing and audiences look for another? There are movies that are critically panned/loved by audiences as well as vice versa.

It's something of a shame that legit sexist trolls bash TLJ, but it doesn't help when the movie itself is...ugh. As I recall from TFA, she does quite a lot with the Force with no training, while Luke did less with being shot at while blinded on the way to the Death Star.

She did not use the force more in TFA than Luke did in ANH. She barely used the force in TFA.

The only force move she used in TFA was pull the saber to her. Luke used it blow up the Death Star by pure feeling.

What percentage of ass would you estimate is exposed by the sentiment "if you think this actor gave anything less than an exemplary performance in this one superhero movie, you're incorrigible sexist garbage and you're CANCELLED"?

Thankfully, that's not happening in this thread.

But you seem to take more issue with those calling out sexism than the actual sexism itself based on your nonsense reply to me earlier. So I dunno, lot of strange shit in this thread I guess.

If you're criticising Brie Larson in Captain Marvel for "having the same expression" in the whole movie then you're either:

1. A fucking idiot
2. A fucking sexist idiot

Brie Larson had a huge alt-right hate campaign thrown at her and one of the things they latched on to try and make it seem legitimate was that she was one note and not expressive in the film, which was bullshit to anyone who actually watched the movie.

Didn't like her take on the character or the movie? Fine.
