I am so glad she was in it for a limited amount of time because I am not taking to her at all. She just feel so forced to me. Brie Larson uses such a very cartoony Super Hero smug in some scene that I see more Brie Larson pretending to be a badass rather than Captain Marvel. She comes out as pretentious in some scenes as well. She is definitely my least favorite MCU character.
shareWhile I think Brie Larson is a good actress and otherwise have no issue with her on or off screen I have to say I agree. I really wanted to like Captain Marvel but just couldn't connect with the character. I'm not interested in discussing what Brie Larson may or may not think/say/do in interviews or on set and am speaking solely about her character portrayal, which is probably my least favorite MCU character thus far.
shareYeah It's her portrayal of that character only that bugs me as well. I loved her in "Room" and I am not familiar with what the controversy about her is about. It is genuinely her (And the writers) Carol Denver's portrayal I dislike.
shareShe has the same problem as Superman .. too powerful and almost invincible
Nothing against Brie Larson though. She is quite good in this role
Near invincible, but apparently unable to take out Thanos pre-stones 🤔
Apparently the Russos didn’t want her in it at all, but grudgingly added her in post at the behest of Disney.
I like her. Her power scale is like Superman but she's an earthly Superman which is why she's so arrogant. If you give a human that much power then he or she is going to be flawed and think they are the best thing in the universe. I think they are setting her up to be humbled in a big way. And we're probably going to see it when she mixes in with the Eternals and the kind of baddies they have to deal with.
shareBrie's voice and mannerisms are so annoying and cringe. "Hey Peter Parker. You got something for me?" - just the way she delivers her lines. Horrible. And her facial expressions basically equate to squinting and raising her eyebrow, to act cocky.
She is good in regular dramas but was totally miscast here. The character is pretty mediocre to begin with, but maybe a different actress could have made it work.
OMG yeah that line to Peter Parker was sooooo cringe!!
shareI hope you feel the same way about Thor and Ironman because they have their own moments of cockiness throughout the films.. on multiple occasions. Nothing wrong with a confident hero.
shareNothing wrong with that. That’s just the way Brie plays the role.
shareThe original iterations of Captain Marvel (Ms Marvel and Mar-Vell) were actually pretty good. Monica Rambeau again was a solid character and should have been the charcater they used for the MCU.
Unfortunately they choose the current woke version even down to the Justin Beiber haircut, this is why it has needed to be rebooted again due to bad sales and basically being universally disliked but Marvel Comics keeps pushing her as this all powerful amazing character. Even the latest reboot Captain Marvel #1 the first page is just in your face as to how awesome she is and there is no one better than her, she has no weakness whatsoever even Superman has Kryptonite. The whole comic is basically Captain Marvel vs Mr Toxic Masculinity with his sidekick kid Misogyny. It won't sell and will be rebooted again at some point. Get the message Marvel comics, no one likes her or wants her, it really is that simple.
Being Disney though and as we have seen with the destruction of Star Wars they needed there woke character to continue this annoying push of building woman up by pushing men down, really needs hastagging and get it over with. Which is compounded by there actress of choice who actually is perfectly cast as Captain Marvel. Both annoying as hell, both are not very interesting, both have no emotion or facial expressions. Raising your eyebrow constantly doesn't class as emotion or range, it is her one acting move, if she isn't doing that she is basically staring blankly into space.
She could have been a good character. But they just skipped the heroes journey which she doesn't have. She has no romantic entanglment with anyone. Everyone she meets (in the comics) is just there to say how awesome she is, even the latest version in the first 2-3 pages she is told how amazing she is by just being there As said earlier she has no weakness, none at all. This is how you write a bad character, good characters have emotion, have weaknesses, have struggles to overcome, have demons to fight against, she doesn't and never will.
She wuz never dat grate an actress but she landed an award winnin role and rest is history.
Watch her in 21 Jump St. her linez seem forced there too and wingin it
