Is it me or does Brie Larson have this constant look on here face where she feels she's better than everyone and is constantly judging everyone for that?
I think that’s a you thing, not a her thing…
Ehh well, that's why I asked
Edit: the hell are the downvotes for? I'm being serious
There’s a lot of hate around captain marvel as the “woke hero” so I think people are suspicious of anyone criticizing her in the role
Idgaf about that. Just that the actor seems a bit smug. Or at least rocking an RBF
The character is a bit smug, but in a playful way. Personally, that’s one of my favorite things about her.
Well I hope they do something because in Captain marvel she just seemed seriously constantly upset and unhappy and it turned me off from her character.
It was probably a bad script or maybe the actress did not do a deep enough dive into the character to bring out some sort of playful light-heartedness, but I find it difficult to relate to her when her whole character is "I'm angry at everything because sexism".
Maybe I'm just not her target audience.
It's not just you. Not everyone can project empathy and relatability.
I mean, I've been told I have a constant RBF, and I'm also a 220 lbs bearded combat vet that uses the "1000 yard stare" so people will get out of my way. I've been told I terrify people sometimes. I can't judge her too harshly on her facial expressions, but in a lot of the things I've seen that she's in, there's this gnawing feeling that she's pissed off because she's above whatever she's doing. Her early career with things like Community and Scott Pilgrim, I didn't feel that way, but since Captain Marvel, there was a shift. Does that make sense?
Yeah, but it's not your job to project your character's personality to an audience., so it's ok to have RBF. I'm not familiar with Larson's work before Marvel, but it seems like if that IS your job, you should be able to do it in spite of bad writing, bad directing, etc. Ewan McGregor, for example, projected his way through much, much worse dialogue and crude CGI/green screening requirements in the Star Wars prequels. He had to act alone, on an empty soundstage, with a tennis ball tied to a stick. The tennis ball had a mark on it to show where your eye line was supposed to be. You're supposed to be Obi Wan Kenobi....to a stick. If he can do that, I'm not cutting Larson any slack 20 years later.
Yeah, I get that vibe a bit. In any case, Captain Marvel is utterly uninteresting to me. Like you, I'm not 100% sure why, but I don't care about her problems or adventures.
