I fear they picked the wrong actress for this role. Her delivery of the lines is so bland

Many of us have said from the beginning that Larson was an incredibly bad casting. She has zero charisma or presence needed to pull off a major "badass" superhero. It looks like they went to my niece's junior high, got a random cheerleader type and said: "here's a shitty costume, now act!"

Btw anyone who can't see this is just another TLJ is blind. There's no reason Annette Benning should be the head hancho of the race. She looks and carries herself like a feeble, old lady... Because that's what she is...

But hey, chicks are in charge and we're going to beat you over the head with it!

I fear some are looking for things to criticize.

Having zero charisma is her super power

What's everyone complaining about? You don't need good acting, good CGI, or a good script anymore. Just check some virtue signaling boxes and you'll have people lined up at the box office. Some dudes' daughters are excited about grrrrl power so nothing else is required.

I really wish they would have gotten Emily Blunt to play this role.

2 more weeks until - what? I seriously hope this is the beginning of the end of these movies. Hollywood has done basically nothing the last decade other than bad remakes/reboots and CGI heavy comic book movies, and they're just plugging *whatever* group into the roles. It's beyond lazy. And they sit around scratching their heads as to why people aren't going to movies anymore. I was just at the grocery store and actually overheard some doofus middle aged white woman say "grrrrl power" to a little black girl and then smile and look around for approval like she deserved a standing ovation. Talk about a cringe worthy moment. This is what a lot of you people think is admirable and it's just vomit inducing. And this is before we even get into talking about the actual merits (or lack thereof) of this steaming pile.

The chic who plays Serena Joy on Handmaid’s Tale would have been a much better choice. Brie Larson is a 5’2 pipsqueak with zero charisma or gravitas. You can either be an intimidating physical presence with no charisma in that role (Daniel Craig as Bond) or even be charismatic with no real physical presence (Cruise as Ethan Hunt) but you can’t be as charming and intimidating as a spoon.

This isn't true, but even if it was, don't go see them then.

Can you give us 5 examples of this?

Marvel has made billions and billions, but according to blueboy no one goes to watch these movies.

That made up story about the grocery store says all we need to know about blueboy. Who makes something like that up?

In the clips I’ve seen she doesn’t look good but I haven’t seen any of the critics who saw the movie single out her performance, even the ones who didn’t love the movie. Sure you can say some of them are SJWs or whatever but not all of them are. We’ll see when the movie comes out but some on here are rooting hard against this movie because muh Larson

Has OML predicted a $60 million opening weekend yet?

This was bad casting from the jump.

Marvel casting has been so good lately it is surprising.

Emily Blunt is a great call. Equal parts badass, hot, and charismatic.

It's not just bad for this movie, it's bad for Hollywood in general. These idiot actors can't seem to figure out that shutting their yappers is more prudent than running their pie traps and saying stupid shite that offends over half the country. What DB is really rooting for is the destruction of Hollywood, which is kind of a weird thing to want when you're on a movie fan board. At least your typical SJW actually believes in something and isn't just around to try and get under people's skin. Basically, DB has ZERO redeeming qualities.

Well relatively speaking no one does. Movie brings in 1.5 billion (only 3 marvel movies have done this) worldwide. The average movie ticket price is $10 (actually more in other countries but whatever). That means that 150 million people on a planet of 7 billion plus saw it. That’s 2 percent of the world’s population and that’s assuming that those 150 million ticket purchases contained no repeat viewers. Honestly it’s more like 120 million unique viewers at the high end. So about a percent and a half of the total world population saw the top 3 movies in the MCU.

So blueboy is right, even if he is an a-hole, but at least he’s not a Disney soyboy like you so he has that going for him.

Also i’m going to see the movie as well, just won’t be paying for it.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that she is purposefully "wooden" with some of her delivery because it's part of the story.

There's Carol the brainwashed Kree warrior that's been deprived of her memories and is still considered "too emotional" by the Kree and there's Captain Marvel who has re-gained her humanity and memories of who she really is by the end of the movie and finally realizes her full potential.

But hey. What do I know. It's not like she's had issues with her memories and personality disorders in every single comic book iteration, oh wait.....
