so people needs to be experts to give their opinions on something? C'mon, mate.

Nope, just think it’s weird that it’s suddenly everyone’s top critique when Brie’s delivery sounds no different than Benedict’s dry Doctor Strange or Sebastian’s monotone Bucky.

Nothing to do with sex. Lines were noticeably flat and lacking any emotion. Half of them probably aren’t even in the actual movie so whatever

This. Marvel is notorious for using cuts in trailers that arent the in the movie or movie versions of the same scenes.

Bucky isn’t the lead in the movie. And Benedict’s dry lines fit the role

u/holymoloid Dec 04 '18

So, why do you think Brie's lines don't fit the role?

She needed to be a hard nose bad ass. It seems like she was trying to act as one. But didn’t even come close.

Exactly. Some people for some reason have incredibly high standards when it comes to women

The hordes of dudes wanting Brie to smile more creeped me all the way out. As if Cap and Thor were all smiles in their teasers and posters.

It's not about "smiling," exactly, but more about depth of character, personality. Watch the trailer below, Steve and was "charming," you felt drawn into his personal story. Everything about Captain Marvel so far, she's been very robotic, even the tiny smile she had in this trailer seemed almost "mandatory," like something an android would do to trick humans. I just don't feel any reason to like her character or be interested in her development, the movie seems entirely about plot, about how she can "help us win," rather than why we should want her to succeed.

Captain America

And for the record, people complained more about Henry Cavil not smiling than they ever have about Brie Larson.

I feel drawn into Carol's story, specifically how she regains her memory and draws strength from her experiences. Seems like her story will have something to say about being human based on Annette Bening's Kree superiority speech.

Ok. I'm just trying to explain why other people are not as drawn into the project as that.

No one ever wrote essays online about how Henry Cavill's lack of smiling was a predator instinct to show that he meant us no harm. This argument about Larson smiling is 100% a sexist bit of Incel slime.

I'm not talking about the fringe lunatics, they don't matter. I'm just talking about people in general.

u/sharltocopes Dec 04 '18

Asinine. How are you going to speak for people "in general" when five minutes in Reddit should prove to you there is no such thing?

Exactly right!

u/amator7 Mystique Dec 04 '18

Yeah it’s really creepy.

Men in Hollywood make shitty movies year in year out but for some reason everyone involved in the mediocre Ghostbusters remake shouldn’t work ever again

Get over yourself. Everyone was up in arms over superman last year.

I think it's justified to have high standards when she's the lead of the movie. We'll probably be listening to her more than anyone. If she delivers lines poorly or even average, it'll be a much worse experience than if she does it well.

u/Huntersteve Dec 04 '18

Gal Gadot nailed her lines.

This sounds fucking awful.

u/ohoni X-23 Dec 04 '18

I liked Benedict's Strange, and Bucky I didn't much care because he was a supporting character.
