Captain Marvel Brie Larson is Captain Marvel!

I love Brie, but it was pretty dumb, I'll admit.

"Shameful" seems way too harsh. Just sorta immature/not reading the tea leaves, bad social graces. But she's hardly the only one, and it's harmless enough, sure the intentions were good.

Just one of those situations where it's sort of like, yeah, worth a cringe when you see it, but at the same time the people who're all up-in-arms about it seem like the usual militant "lol *******z!" *****ebags too. There's a rational response between, basically a "maybe not a great idea to do this in future, Brie" and a moving on like civil grownups. And singling her out over it is stupid, half of Hollywood with any tangential link to Stan whatsoever did the same thing. Brie's not particularly egregious here, just a smidge lacking in class. But she's young, and Stan wouldn't care, this is smallfry.

"Shameful" might have been the wrong word choice. "Dumb" is probably better.

Interesting how people keep putting words in her mouth that weren't there in the tweet to begin with.
I guess people wanted her to be on her knees sobbing over a headstone while hugging a Stan Lee Plushie...

It looked fine to me. A woman sitting there with a foot up and bag in her lap. Could it have been better? Sure. But it's not 'O Good Lord, the shame!!!' level of bad.

Something tells me that no matter what she posted, it would have been lambasted anyway.

 

[Aximili86]

I think people are just questioning putting a photo up at all, not the content of the photo. But again, she's one of like a hundred actors who did it, so whatever.

 

[Iceman]

I don’t get why you would post a pic of yourself without the person who passed away for something like this.

 

[JasonKorg]

Some of you really need to find better use of your time if you are making such a big deal of those things.

lol

Maybe what they say about blondes is true, after all.

"Look at my cool bag and shoes! Oh and BTW who is this old white male everybody keep talking about?"

What does that have to do with anything? Stop making the rest of us white males look bad. People like you are turning us into a joke

did you just defend white males in the same post you made a sexist remark about blonde women?

Oh you dont need anyone's help in "making white males look bad" here.

 

[Abudefduf]

Except I never said blonde women? I said "blondes", and Armie Hammer is a man.

Some dip**** on Twitter used this picture to make an incredibly dumb argument, but that doesn't make it any less... um, good.

That's a winning argument right there!

She looks like Paris Hilton. Never a good thing.

 

[BoredGuy]

wow
what argument was said dips*** trying to make??
If anything, you'd think a photo like that might shut up the MRA dooshbags, they'd be to busy jerkin it to complain that she doesn't smile enough

Paris Hilton is hot, though. Is... is that an unpopular opinion?

That it's hypocritical of Brie to pose in a bikini and then refuse to wear the classic Ms. Marvel costume (I'm talking about the very first one with the belly window). Thankfully he got dragged in the comments, lol.

She's probably fine if you're wearing a hazmat suit when you touch her. I wouldn't risk it though to be honest.

Why is there so much tension around this woman and topic? Like dang man I don't even see legit convos happening here. Everyone is just back and forth squabbling.. Way too much PC emotions in here LOLThe movie will come out and you will all fangirl.. Watch. LOL

Honestly, I think because it's the first female driven Marvel movie (I don't count Elektra) and people don't want it to fail because that will start all those conversations about how a woman can't lead a superhero movie

I think Brie will absolutely nail it. She's clearly passionate about the character and she wouldn't have signed on of the script was poor.

You'd think those conversations would be immediately shut down by simply pointing to Wonder Woman. A female lead superhero Movie can and has been successful. But of course every time a new female lead Movie comes out, people seem to ignore all the Movies that came before.

Yup. It's incredibly frustrating. You'd think in this day and age it wouldn't be considered a risk to have a female led superhero movie. God forbid a woman be something other than a Disney princess!

I'm more worried about the story than her acting.
Are they discarding the fact she starts off as Ms Marvel and eventually becomes Captain Marvel honouring the memory of her Kree mentor?
A decent script to avoid the mess tlj highlights is that too much to expect?

 

[Abudefduf]

Are you saying she recently turned into a radioactive monster? I haven't see a picture of her in years, I think.

It's very likely that they are, because this isn't the comics, it's the MCU. They're simplifying things for the sake of the audience... it wouldn't exactly be the first time they do it. MCU Thor never spent his first years on Earth disguised as a doctor and Star-Lord & Co. are the first and only Guardians of the Galaxy.

I'm not sure what TLJ has to do with any of this, btw.
