Samuel L. Jackson stood up for his Marvel co-star Brie Larson during a recent interview with Rolling Stone in which the Nick Fury actor was asked about Larson being the target of toxic Marvel fans on social media. The two actors headlined 2019’s “Captain Marvel,” which was review bombed by trolls for featuring Larson’s female superhero in a leading role. Jackson called Larson a “stronger person than people give her credit for.”

Time to fire up that narrative. I think the media already has those stories written. We all know what's coming.

I think they practically write them from a template, actually. Just plug in the named and titles.

I LOVE STRONG WOMEN! i think every heterosexual man can agree that strong women are amazing in real life and movies (for example the ALIEN franchise) what most do not like is a political agenda like 4th wave feminism. shoved down their throats, instead of interesting plots of character development.

Sam is an old woke asshole at this point, and I really used to like him. Actors need to keep their social and political views to themselves.

If I could go at least one more day in my life without hearing the term “strong women” 76 times a day I could die a happy man.

Has any other term in existence been as overused as this one?

Any time a woman is involved in ANYTHING, “strong women” or “strong independent woman” has to be said 4 billion times. I think we all get it at this point. God damn.
