The problem is even though it’s fiction we as humans can’t help but try to rationalize and almost put us in the situation. And when you see someone like Chris hemsworth or Chris Evans you a physically imposing figure. When you see a small woman physically beating bigger people up our minds can’t grasp it. Obviously it’s because of her powers but it’s still hard for us to grasp at a basic human instinctual level

I just think she is unlikable.

Give the Rock her haughty attitude and he doesn't have a career.

I think its because I quit being entertained by comic books when I was 12.

Explains how Buffy the Vampire Slayer became a cultural phenomenon.

oh wow that took all of 2 seconds to disprove.
Maybe Brie Larson just rubs people the wrong way on and off screen.

I dont think that's it. What?

I dont think it's anything that Brie Larson is doing neither shes a great actress. I think theres something off with the direction and how they are portraying her. Not really relatable in anyway. Wonder Woman didnt have this problem and I had no issues with her.

Meh. People didn’t really have a problem grasping it for Wonder Woman. Captain Marvel was just the next iteration of Marvel being political and diversity focused after Black Panther. People are hypersensitive to the politics of Hollywood, so for some she was going to be unlikable simply because they didn’t want to follow Hollywood’s agenda. All the people that eye rolled at Black Panther being the “first” black super hero, and were told that all previous super hero movies weren’t as virtuous because they stared a straight white male, just hated the next iteration of that same stupid Twitter drama. They are uncomfortable with those people being happy about Captain Marvel being some sort of “achievement”. Brie Larson’s comments about how the movie wasn’t for white guys really reinforced all those suspicions for people.

I for one don’t care about the political agenda, I don’t let it impact my experience even if I hate their politics, and like Captain Marvel just fine. I find her just as compelling as Black Panther or Doctor Strange at this point. I loved her entrance in the final battle, I love how she’s just as strong as Thor and I loved the female montage(even though I wish Evangeline Lily was in it I wanted to see her frick shite up with the same sexual energy she fricked Sawyer in that cage with).

I think Brie Larson would be better served with a more comedic angle in the movies going forward, but otherwise I can grasp her powers just fine.

It has nothing to do with gender stereotypes or sexism. It all boils down to one thing: The character is meh ....and it's a bit annoying when instead of fixing that genuine problem, people call you names and accuse you of hatred you don't have.

It is trying to make "fetch" happen and then demonizing anyone who won't say "fetch."

Captain Marvel was an ok film. It wasn’t great or terrible. I mainly don’t like the direction the character is headed because they are overpowering her. She is nowhere near the power level of a Rune King Thor—which has been suggested Hemsworth was at the end of Ragnarok and in IW—yet it seems to be that is how they are making her. And it’s pretty obvious why.

Her being a Feminazi bitch doesn't help.




Wonder Woman was awesome without doing any of that.

Meh she's fine as a character. A little cocky sure but I liked her in Endgame. The hate comes from a vocal minority who are still pissy about her comments from a year ago

Dude, this has nothing to do with some “instinctual female power imbalance” and everything to do with both Larson and her character in the films being an arrogant, entirely unlikeable bitch.

Have you seen that interview of her, Hemsworth, and Cheadle? That was quite possibly the most cringy thing I’ve seen since Tom Cruise on Oprah. You could just feel the dislike oozing through the screen.

I didn’t hate Captain Marvel at all. It was ok.

At the same time I get people who don’t like Brie Larson. She’s not fun. At all.

What Marvel NAILED from the beginning was bringing a sense of fun to the screen for these movies. Almost every casting decision was spot on but she just doesn’t have that quality.

I think your take on not buying a female superhero is a garbage take.

People had no problem accepting Wonder Woman or a bunch of other female superheros who aren't muscle bound.

The problem is Brie Larson is just a very unlikable person, no charisma and an all around sour personality.

The character isn't so much the issue but who they cast to play her.

I think she's bland AF. I was bored to tears with her solo film.

Or they just miscast the character with an insufferable bitch?
