Brie Larson continues to trigger MCU fanboys, this time by casually wielding Thor's hammer
Aux Features Brie Larson
Marvel brings people a lot of happiness, right? Certainly, though one subsection of the fandom just can’t seem to get over their disdain for Brie Larson, who plays Captain Marvel in the MCU. On Twitter, on YouTube, on Change.org petitions, and, yes, this very site right here, the vitriol flows. The latest target? Larson’s Instagram, where Larson knowingly courted them with a post that’s best described as a winking troll.
On Wednesday, Larson posted a picture of herself in front of Iron Man’s suits, wearing an Avengers hat, and casually holding Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. Her caption? “Not to be whatever, but….told you I could lift it 😇” Cute, to the point, and some nice MCU fodder to make up for all the bad news in the fandom this week. But of course, haters gotta hate. And hate they did.
As a Brie Larson stan account, @BrieLarsonHQ2, noted, with receipts in hand, a gaggle of men were quick to tell Larson and, by extension, Captain Marvel, that, actually, she can’t lift the hammer.
Also, a major criticism that these guys like to cling to is that Carol Danvers is way too “arrogant” or doesn’t say sorry after every proton blast, as if she’s not in the same universe as Thor, Captain America, and Tony Stark. Again, more receipts.
But, life goes on, thank god, and those dudebros are nothing but a blip on Brie Larson’s radar. She has Mighty Thor herself on Captain Marvel’s side, with Natalie Portman commenting, “Hey Muscles, easy with my hammer,” and Killmonger (aka Michael B. Jordan) laughing at her caption, probably getting a kick out of the angry people and soulless bots in her comments.
With over a million likes, it’s safe to say that many more people approve of her post than those that obsess over the sanctity of a fictional hammer, and she gave her fans a treat with a workout video the next day. As another stan account notes, the scenario plays out a lot like one from Endgame.

Haha. I love this scene. Isn’t this where Mozart complains about snobby opera-goers acting like they “shit marble?”
I’ve mixed feelings on Brie Larson. She’s a great actress and I like her triggering the neckbeards with her mere existence, let alone these open provocations, but she comes off as weirdly stand-offish and unpleasant in interviews? It popped at me when she’s doing them with her Marvel co-stars, they’re awkward and not in the Gyllenhaal-Holland way.
You don’t have to like everyone
That is true! Was just an observation, s’all.That said, I hope my post won’t attract the fuckwits with a dozen takes on how Brie Larson’s feminism “ruined” Captain Marvel or some other toxic shit.
I suppose the argument can be made that an actor’s job isn’t just to give a performance on screen, but also to have a likable (or at least interesting) public personality. Some people consciously care about that, some don’t (but are unconsciously affected by it—e.g., I decide to go see Explosion Smash 2 this weekend because The Rock was funny on Kimmel).
I’ve heard it’s an essential addition to the Explosion Smash franchise, so at least your decision is not wrong.
I wouldn’t argue that at all. Their job is to show up and do the performance. If their contract requires them to do interviews, then they do the interviews. Otherwise, no one owns their personalities or their lives. It’s rather unfair to argue otherwise.
On the other hand, any good agent/manager/PR flack will advise an actor that part of their job is marketing their work. Going on the talk shows, giving interviews, etc. (And, contractually, they are often required to do those things… so it is indeed part of their job.)Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for either position, but the notion that an actor just has to do good work on set and then can get away with ignoring everything else is naive.
Are you an agent/manager/PR flack?An agent might say this only because if the actor is more likeable they’ll be more bankable and the agent will make money. Just because the agent says stuff that makes them more money doesn’t mean it’s true.I never said the actor could “get away with ignoring everything else.” I said it’s not their job. There are things I can do that aren’t part of my job but would nevertheless make me better/more successful at my job. But that doesn’t make them part of my job.
I had a whole reply, but then I realized I missed a straw man of yours from earlier:Otherwise, no one owns their personalities or their lives. It’s rather unfair to argue otherwise.Yeah, nobody was arguing that this is true. The thread started by talking about interviews. Doing press is part of the job (contractually), and doing it up to a proper standard is also part of the job (contractually). It doesn’t bother me at all whether or not an actor hates doing press or does a shitty job of it, but you can’t reasonably argue that from the perspective of their employer they don’t have an obligation to do press competently.
You didn’t specify that you were talking about doing press only. You said part of their job was their public personality. I interpreted “public personality” broadly—personality displayed in public. If you only meant press specifically, okay. You also didn’t specify that you were talking from the perspective of the employer. You said “the argument can be made.” Any “argument can be made.” I can make the argument that I’m made of tin. It doesn’t make it a reasonable or true argument. So please don’t accuse me of inventing straw people just because you made an imprecise claim that didn’t accurately convey what you intended.I can reasonably argue from the perspective of the employer. If it is in the contract, then it’s part of their job, from the perspective of the employer and anyone else. If it’s not in the contract, then it’s not, because the sole purpose of the contract is to define what the job is. If it’s not in the contract, it’s not in the job, no matter how the employer feels about it. That’s just basic contract law.
“Public personality” was implicitly (and pretty obviously, given the context of the discussion) referring to how they appear in interviews and other marketing efforts. The post was a counter to the notion that actors have no obligation (from any perspective) to come off well outside of the actual on-set acting.You said “the argument can be made.” Any “argument can be made.” I can make the argument that I’m made of tin.The phrase “the argument can be made” is an idiomatic (and mostly colloquial) phrase that implies that the argument is reasonable or has some support. Why are you pretending that the phrase’s meaning is perfectly literal?
I see. I’m glad we are both clear on the terminology. I appreciate that you now mean that it isn’t true that actors have “no obligation … to come off well outside of the actual on-set acting,” though that is certainly not the same thing as saying it’s a part of their job to do so. Nevertheless I disagree with both propositions, barring contrary provisions in the contract, anyway.It’s an imprecise and useless phrase that implies nothing other than the obvious fact that any argument can be made at any time. If you want to say something, say it. Don’t say something that can mean literally anything and then get mad at people for not understanding that you specifically meant in interviews and you specifically meant from the employer perspective and that you specifically meant the argument was reasonable or had some support. If you wanted to say “a person who employs actors considers it a part of the actors job to do x, y, and z,” then that’s what I advise you to say next time (understanding, of course, that you didn’t seek my advice and certainly don’t want it, most likely). I’m not pretending anything. I read what you wrote, and since I don’t know you the only way I can interpret what you say is by what the words mean. “The argument can be made” is not an common euphemism that means something else. It’s a weasel phrase (even Wikipedia would call it that) that lets you think you said something without nailing down what you said so that you can weasel it alter with different meanings.Anyway, I don’t guess we need to keep going over that. What I now know you mean is that employers consider being personable in interviews to be a part of the actors job. The bottom line is that they might consider it so, but it isn’t so unless it’s in the contract. The rest of this is immaterial
It’s a weasel phrase (even Wikipedia would call it that) that lets you think you said something without nailing down what you said so that you can weasel it alter with different meanings.This isn’t a courtroom, dipshit, it’s pop culture nerds shooting the shit on the Internet. Since your first instinct was to come in and start nitpicking the exact definition of “job,” this maybe isn’t the right place for you.
I didn’t say it was a courtroom? I have seen a courtroom and I am fully aware the internet isn’t one. lol And it’s fine to shoot the shit! I’m just asking that you don’t get mad when people interpret your words to say what they mean. Just clarify and move on. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. I wasn’t nitpicking. I was engaging the comment you made. If you didn’t want people to engage the comment you made, I question why you made said comment in public, but from now on I’ll make a note that you only want people to talk to you if they agree with everything you meant to say and that they hopefully can read your mind to know that what you meant to say is something different from what you actually said. I’m glad we had this chat. Have a good day.
you dislike an actress because she doesn’t conform to some sort of silly “must be J Law” type of goofy and personable?
She’s an actress. barring her doing something truly despicable or heinous in her personal life… judge her by her acting. full stop
Please, read harder into that post and tell me something more about me.I didn’t write that I don’t like her, nor that I expect her to conform to J-Law’s brand of “goofy celebrity”. I just have mixed feelings on her based on the fact that she seems somewhat belligerent in her non-acting appearances. I’m allowed that. Just as I’m allowed to enjoy her on the screen and enjoy her riling up neckbeards on the net despite my mixed feelings on her.I’m aware that what I wrote may read into the whole “just smile!” brand of toxicity towards women – and if I had realized that before pressing “enter”, I’d probably pass on the comment altogether – but I didn’t intend to convey anything beyond “I don’t know what to think about Brie Larson”.
Coolmanguy, I want a shirt that just reads, “You don’t have to like everyone.”
You don’t have to like everyone This should have been the 11th commandment.
You don’t have to like everyoneyou’re trolling…you ignored the content of the commentLarson shows herself to be standoffish and aloof in interviews. It’s a relevant observation to make.Of course people don’t have to like each other, OP’s comment is still valid.
I like Brie Larson and I like her acting…except in Captain Marvel, which was a bad movie with a disappointingly dull lead performance.
I thought she was terrible as Captain Marvel, but I liked the movie because everyone else in it had fun with it and it was a good story.
Captain Marvel’s script needed another pass. Carol is barely a character, I think they were hoping they could RDJ her and just have Larson given a snarky quip and a smirk and call it a day.
But she just kinda half-smirked a few times here and there and dialed her charisma down to nearly negative numbers. It was a really boring performance, there was just nothing to it. I’m also blaming the script to a huge degree, but Larson did nothing to elevate the lousy material.
Every other character gets an arc, but Captain Marvel just gets a straight line. It’s sad, because with some script revisions to actually pay off on all the “control your emotions” stuff, and more impact from her discovering her past, it could’ve been really good.
I blame the character itself, rather than Brie for that. CinemaWins went into detail about the character here. It’s worth the watch
I suppose I can’t blame her for Kong: Skull Island, which managed to wring terrible performances out of John Goodman, Sam Jackson, John C. Reilly, etc. Kind of a bad-movie miracle
That and they shoehorned her movie right before Endgame and the character into Endgame.They should’ve waited till after Endgame before introducing Captain Marvel.
She filmed Endgame BEFORE Captain Marvel. She knew her character.
Um, the first part of your post disproves the second.
Yes, his reply is weird. I read Larson was given only a few sentences of dialog, she was on a green-screen set, and none of the other actors were there. In addition, the directors wouldn’t give her any story context (because of their absurd level of secrecy), and there was no firm Captain Marvel script at that point. So she had to make it all up in her head.Oddly, I thought she was more exciting and emotive in that one little clip than she was in the entire Captain Marvel movie. Maybe because she was baffled by her bizarre work-circumstances?
That doesn’t change the fact that she didn’t really fit into the Infinity Saga and it’s all the more evident because she has all but 3 minutes of screen time, collectively.They should’ve waited and brought her in for Phase 4.
I thought I would hate her performance from the traikers, but ended up really liking her.The movie was very mediocre, though. Very dull action. and why did they take the cat into space?
The cat (well, the Flerken) was a stowaway, IIRC.
I blame the writing, they had the character start where they wanted her to end up, so there was no growth. Also, she did her parts in endgame before her parts in her movie, so they knew what she was going to be first, and I don’t think they actually figured out where that came from. When you start at “doesn’t back down or like being told she can’t do something” and “Has a wry comeback for anything” and don’t pull that back to reveal it as a shield for anything real, the character is gonna come off as shallow and one note.I bet she could have pulled off something interesting, but they were writing under the gun. Oh and making someone under mind control an amnesiac is dumb. You make them remember a lot of very specific things that guide them to what you want them to believe, that way at the end of the second act when their world comes crashing down because the truth is revealed, they feel the loss, not only of trust, but of who they thought they were.(gotta have an identity to have an identity crisis) Then they have real motivation for the third act comeback. That and they were writing a Superman style character, but not writing a Superman style story. Normally marvel is good at this, so I think it was just trying to make it work with the biggest crossover film in history. And truly SUPER super heroes are hard to write.
*Spoiler*If the Kree could rewrite her memories to make Jude Law into a Skrull, why couldn’t they just plaster Halla over her Earth memories.That would have made seeing Rambeau on Earth actually powerful.
“If the Kree could rewrite her memories to make Jude Law into a Skrull” Uh, what? That’s not something that happened…
When she remembers the crash with Lawson at the beginning, she sees Talos holding the gun. When she gets her memories back, it is Jude Law.So, that is kinda what happened.
I’ll have to re-watch, it’s been a while because I’m not remembering that specifically. Assuming it’s correct, I’d imagine that it would be a lot easier to replace a single person in a single memory than papering over decades of time
Ok, yeah, just didn’t fully remember that as it’s the opening shotI stand by that it could be they couldn’t mess with her memory wholesale, just in a limited capacity. It’s also possible that they didn’t do anything and she only had a vague memory of it after the blast and her brain filled Talos in later on
I’m not going to try to get too nerdy about it, but this to me shows why the script needed another pass. I think much like Dr. Strange, great cast and there were some good ideas that just needed another polish.
I hope they can give her more in the next installment.
I disagree, somewhat. I feel like Capt Marvel was good overall, definitely not the top of the MCU but definitely not the bottom either (and Doc Strange is my fave so…)Might have been better if they waited until after Endgame as it does seem a little rushed but I’d still say they’re batting .957 (Hulk just didn’t work for me at all)
I’ve still watched both multiple times. To me, they are just the lower rung of a very high ladder. But I understand how others would disagree with me on this, especially those who have been waiting to see the spectacle of these particular characters on screen. I thought they were visually amazing and put comic panels on screen.
Again, I don’t blame Larson for any of my opinion of the movie. I think she did the best she could with what she was given. Jude Law, Sam Jackson and Annette Benning don’t come out any better to me, and they are royalty. Mendelson stole the scenes he was in, but he really didn’t have to do much heavy lifting and was fairly MCU brand Like a Loki. I hope we haven’t seen the last of Latasha Lynch in the MCU.
Also, I have the “Have you ever seen a little girl fall down?” quote on a print in my little girl’s room. Daddy is a nerd and demands the best representation for his little Boogie.
I also think Strange had one of the best endings in the MCU, I just felt that Rachel McAdams was Jane Fostered. Hopefully she will have a chance to be post Endgame Jane Fostered.Wow. Hulk. Like the 2 movies, or Ruffalo and his take on the Hulk?
Different strokes and all that. I’ve got no problem with people liking or disliking (or even being completely neutral) on any piece of entertainment. It only starts to bother me when like/dislike goes to hyperbolic lengths. Wonder Woman, for example. I thought it was ok but might have liked it more if I hadn’t read so many reviews heaping praise on it; got to the point of “overrated” IMO after I finally watched it. And Last Jedi going the other wayThe end of Doc Strange is one of the reasons it’s my favorite. Just the way they subverted the “climatic final boss fight” trope was awesome, plus holy shit the visuals throughout the entire thing. And, yeah, McAdams wasn’t given nearly enough to doJust the Hulk solo movies, Ruffalo is great. I’m not sure if Hulk is just not enough of a character to carry his own movies or the writing just wasn’t good enough but neither of them landed with me
Wonder Woman was another movie that could have used another pass on the third act. I think that it was Patty Jenkins, and it WAS the first woman driven super hero movie since My Super Ex-Girlfreind, it got a lot of (too much?) leeway on initial reviews. It did have some amazing scenes. In fact I was showing Boogie WW as a little girl today (yay Daddy Daughter Day). We also watched about half of Mantis and Gamora before she got bored and put on Bob’s Burgers (she’s only 3).In a weird way, WW is like a better Venom to me. Any goodwill you built up in the first 2 acts you waste in the 3rd. While Venom was more of a B-movie surprise, the third act and the moronic, out of nowhere Carnage introduction are just deal breakers. Wonder Woman has that same problem of, “Ok, I’m with you. This is cool. Digging the vibe. Now what? Oh. This is how we are ending it? I should have just done something else.”
Oh yeah, the first two Hulks were some missfires.
“I think that it was Patty Jenkins, and it WAS the first woman driven super hero movie since My Super Ex-Girlfreind, it got a lot of (too much?) leeway on initial reviews”My words, your mouth (or keyboard anyway). I’d also add that it was the first not bad DCU movie so garnered more praise than it “should” have for that
Right? they could have done a lot more to make her whole deal tied to the Kree. For one thing she’s the only one who can do the whole fly around and shoot energy from her hands, but it seemed like she didn’t think that was true in the movie (am I wrong on that? I don’t think I am that’s what it sounded like in her talk with Fury at the bar, but I could be.) and that seems like a pretty big deal, why wouldn’t they pump her up as the Kree’s special chosen one instead of just another member of the squad. Like if you’re messing around in her head, make her a zealot for the cause, or even their machine leader’s personal champion, show Mar’Vel history with her (edit out some of it) and the explosion, make it all the skrull’s fault make her hate the Skrull, not just a vague “Oh yeah they killed your family, it was suuuper bad, you don’t remember, but YIKES, it was bad, don’t worry about who that lady was. Cause they’re bad guys…Anyways go wrestle with Jude Law, but don’t get too strong, for reasons.” It’s a planetary empire running super god computer it can’t brainwash one human? Also the Kree were just kind of there, which is a shame considering they’ve been talked about in like 6 movies, it would’ve been nice to know a little more about them. Like why some of them are blue, but others are pretty human looking, like I know why, but no one else I saw the movie with did. Missed opportunity to tie her to the setting and fill in some of the vague bits of the MCU.
Larson was hampered by having to play a stoic, serious-faced amnesiac for 90% of the movie. Not exactly a screen-grabber of a character, despite the fireworks. But then, in the flashbacks, pre-abduction Carol was almost as stoic. So, there wasn’t that much difference between Original Carol and Kree Carol, which weakened the impact. Her transformation into 100%-powered Carol could have also been the full reclamation of her real self, but I didn’t think she wasn’t too different before or after. Just angry at different targets.
Yeah, exactly. No version of Carol is fun or interesting or dynamic or charismatic.I don’t entirely blame Brie Larson. I think Ming Na is a wonderful actress, but when all you’re asked to do is play “stoic badass”, as she does on SHIELD, it’s a fucking boring nothing character and she sucks at it because there’s nothing to work with.
I agree, was watching Endgame last night and there is definitely a weird vibe when she’s on screen.It must be a choice she’s making for the character, as I loved her in Unicorn Store.
Exactly, thank you. Also, her god-like power level kind of takes some of the tension out of things.
Lots of actors are actually pretty shy in real life. And press junkets are famously draining.
It also really depends on the interviewer – I think the best is Graham Norton because he lets his guests chat with each other and doesn’t make it all about him. Also he provides alcohol.
1. Not many people enjoy doing press junkets. Many struggle to keep their energy up as they’re being asked the same 5 questions for the 623rd time in 2 weeks. Brie Larson may be one of those people.2. Odds are that she’s been on the receiving end of more than one death threat from incel neckbeards. If she wasn’t reticent to give up her privacy to deal with the press before, she probably is now.
Yeah, I’ve thought about your second point after I posted and it would explain a bunch. Guess it didn’t pop into my head immediately since she’s been more willing to grit her teeth through this shit than most, which is both impressive and more than a little saddening.
The press junket thing is why I would ask questions like “would you rather be framed for embezzlement or actually guilty of selling fraudulent designer jeans” and “who would win in a fistfight, you or Imelda Marcos when she was 47″ and “have you ever tried to bench press one of your costars, and if not, why are you such a failure”
“You’re walking through the desert. You come across a tortoise, overturned on its back. It’s baking in the hot sun. You’re not helping the tortoise. What’s it like being on set with Robert Downey Jr.?”
Joe Queenan has asked questions along those lines in some of his celebrity interviews, I’ve seen them in his book compilations.
You think the interviewers don’t know they’re asking the same questions as everyone else? They’re handcuffed by the requirements of the outlet they’re working for. Also, there’s always a handful of interviewers from Kotaku or ComicConNewsDaily.com who will come in and try to do a bit or ask silly questions like yours but it usually falls flat.
You sound fun.
Would you rather be Edward Scissorhands for life, or eat your weight in hot dogs in three days?
I’ve seen interviewers try to go that way, and I honestly don’t know what actors hate more: Answering the same old questions over and over, or humoring the reporter who tried to act like their quirky buddy.
It’s gotta suck that Chris Evans and the like get serious questions about what Captain America means to them, and the women of Marvel get asked, “What diet did you go on to fit into the suit?”
The men also get questions about how they got so ripped.
Especially because I’m genuinely curious about what diet Chris Evans et al go on to fit into their suits.
I actually relate to how she seems stand-offish, because I too often come off that way to people in spite of the fact that I’m the kind of person who likes everyone as long as they don’t give me a reason to not like them. Brie seems like a perfectly nice person who’s just socially awkward, and it seems hard for people to pick up on when she’s joking.
I think part of the reason why I was put off by Larson seeming unpleasant is that 1. most of the Marvel folks seem very accommodating and friendly during the junkets – or at least eccentric, like Downey, Jr – and it’s kind of weird to spot someone with a different energy. and 2. most of the time when an actor is somewhat stand-offish or super-bored doing PR, they’re usually just generally dicks, like Bruce Willis.
All together, good material on the perception of celebrities in the thread. I like Larson and I’m kinda worried that the opening comment might sound dickish, since I didn’t intend that.
Today I met my daughter’s new science teacher. We shook hands, I smiled, and I said, “It’s great to meet you. Science is her favorite subject! Don’t screw it up.”And he shifted and blinked.I said, “That was a joke. Welcome to (school).”He shifted and blinked.I was like, “Well. I did it again.”
I don’t get it.
My wife has banned me from parent teacher functions.
Honestly, I think that she’s just not comfortable with the ‘sit down in front of an interviewer and field stupid, repetitive questions for hours on end’ scenario. She is absolutely delightful when she does things like this:
Dats me.
So you like her in movies but don’t want to hang out with her in real life?
Well shit, how are you gonna make THAT work?
Wasn’t she home-schooled? I am amazed she has any social skills whatsoever.
I mean…if there was a large-ish, vocal contingent of men that didn’t like a career choice you made because you’re a woman, you’d probably be a bit standoffish too, right?
This is something I will never understand. When it comes to entertainment, you just have to like the product, not the person behind the product. I think Tom Cruise is a shit person, but he makes some damn fine movies. I never watch interviews with celebs unless it’s just (again) for pure entertainment value (stories from “on set” can be fun). If you think she interviews bad, Just don’t watch her interviews and enjoy her acting chops cause she is a damn fine actor.
And for the love of *insert favorite deity here*, don’t like someone cause they piss off other people you don’t like. Assholes will always exist. Surround yourself with positivity.
Why does it matter what a bunch of broken losers think either way
She just needs to smile more, amirite? /s
But she’s not a great actress! She’s fucking sleeping through Captain Marvel! Kathryn Winnick would’ve fucking smashed it!
“But she’s not a great actress!”Go watch Room and get back to us
But she is a good actress! Watch Room!
She doesn’t come off warmly or charismatic in interviews, she seems like she has a little mean streak (but directed at people who deserve it), but those things don’t make her a bad person.
I don’t think interviews are a good guage of anyone’s personality. We assume that because someone is a good performer they’ll be good in interviews, but that doesn’t make any sense. Totally different skill sets. Just like how brilliant actors can seem stilted and awkward if they’re presenting an award or guest hosting a news program.Also, I’d imagine stars get pretty bored and frustrated with the inane questions they’re repeatedly asked at the dozens of pressers they attend to promote their films.
Some actors don’t interview well – it’s her job to act, not answer questions.Plus the sheer amount of press work involved in being as highly acclaimed as she is must be exhausting.
Actually, if you have the interest and time, I would suggest watching her interviews with Craig Ferguson on his former talk show. There are four and her personality starts off one way and by the last interview, has changed markedly. I chalk it up to someone dealing with the shit that fame brings. Not to mention her privacy eviscerated by The Fappening.
Oooh, I liked Craig Ferguson’s show, I’ll do that. I thought about that shift being a result of the toxicity directed at her and it’s making a lot of sense, so I feel sorta bad about the initial post now, since it seems so obvious in hindsight.
I’m not a famous person, but I’m pretty sure if you interviewed me four times over the past ten, or five years my personality will have changed from the first to the last. So I can only imagine how Brie Larson, who HAS gone through all of that shit at such a formative time of her life, would change.
That pretty much why I dont like her is because of her attitude in interviews and just in general.
Agreed. I enjoy her movies but her off-screen personality is unbearable.
but she comes off as weirdly stand-offish and unpleasant in interviews?
HEAVEN FORBID AN INTROVERT BECOMES FAMOUS.
I hope @bobb_watson is sterile.
People know that’s a prop and none of the characters are actually real… right?It’s not like the MCU was a documentary like “The Highlander,” which was filmed in real time.
IT’S REAL TO ME DAMMIT!
Shhh, there are people even on this site that you will trigger with talk like that.
And which won the Academy Award in the category of “Best Movie Ever Made”.
I literally watched this movie last night.
“I saw your Highlander movie—it was shit!”
I still remember the news articles from the time about all of those mystery beheadings…hopefully they’ll do a Highlander season of Mindhunter. That all only happened a couple years after the Atlanta child murders, so with the gap between seasons, it could even be in the next run.
Never seen in the same place – the Kurgan and Ed Kemper. Just sayin’…
“IT IS BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN FADE AWAY!!!!!”

Très bien.
Are you kidding? You can’t fool them. bobb_watson even pointed out it was just a prop. So we know how smart he is.
The Watchers are still trying to hush up those Immortal murders.
The wrestling match at the beginning of Highlander was the only fake fighting in the whole thing!!Also the flashbacks were filmed in real time as well
We grillin tonight.
so this cliff is magic?

Guylander 2: The Dickening
I believe you have Marvel confused with Harry Potter, which is not real.
It’s one of the few documentaries to capture the Scottish diaspora among Spain’s immortal population.
If I could give you separate stars for pointing out the obvious + following up with an ATHF reference, I would.
But does Brie Larson know that?
Or Highlander 2! No, wait.But yeah, that’s a picture of the actress Brie Larson. Posted from Brie Larson’s account. It seems obvious to me that the real Captain Marvel, wherever she is, would not be posting on instagram.
lol that was just an urban myth. I’m not surprised you fell for it though. A lot of people did. In fact, the main character in Highlander was played by Raiden, an Outworld god (Outworld is another plane of existence). He used his lightning powers to provide many of the SFX for the movie.

This is always the answer.
You realize there is no real outrage but some folks have to farm clicks, right?
“I think…the branch….will ho-IT’S NOT HOLDING!”
Plus none of the fake superheros are selfless, that would be fake Jedi’s. These idiots are mixing up fake universes!!!
So does that mean there was a war correspondent embed from the alien world the immortals come from to capture Highlander 2: The Quickening?
Adrian Paul had to do the TV series because Christoper Lambert was on trial for multiple homicides.
Wow. It’s rare to see an aqua teen quote that I use at least once a week finally get used. Good job.
People know that’s a prop and none of the characters are actually real… right?
No. No they don’t.
It’s like our society is designed to have stupid people fight over useless things like entertainment characters rather than focus on real world issues that affect their and everyone elses lives like politics, environment, economy etc.
That was my favorite comment: “No you aren’t, that’s a prop.” Simply amazing. Genius really.
“NO, that was just a PROP she can’t lift the REAL MJOLNIR”
Way to amplify these dudes’ voices…
Why are people triggered at an actress holding a prop…Not saying I like or care about Brie Larson, but if it was RDJ doing the same post, everybody would be laughing or liking it.You don’t like Brie Larson or Capt Marvel? Good, then why do you care?
‘Cause for a group of uber-manly he-men of massively masculine masculinity, they are ton for ton the most sensitive, cringing whiny mass of ugly toxicity on the planet.They do have the Trump Judo down perfectly – they’ll whine and cry about how they don’t whine and cry like nobody’s business.
Part of it is a backlash from Marvel’s marketing trying to position Captain Marvel as the mascot/central character for Phase 4 and beyond.
Maybe an extremely small part of it. I would imagine most of these knuckle-draggers don’t get to the cinema much and wouldn’t know Loki from Four Loco.
Read here, dipstick. Kevin Feige, had to deal with Ike Perlmutter’s sexist bullshit for YEARS! YEARS! A piece of shit, that wanted to keep the women hot and sexy, and in the background. He didn’t want them to be anything more, than expensive props. Once Alan Horn helped free Feige from Ike’s bullshit. He’s been able to plan a future of Marvel Studios. WHERE WOMEN ARE THE FUTURE OF THE FUCKING BRAND! Captain Marvel, is going to be one of the faces going forward. If you don’t like it, or didn’t like her movie? TOO FUCKING BAD! Kevin Feige, has been responsible for SIX OF THE TOP TWENTY BIGGEST BOX OFFICE FILMS OF ALL TIME! A QUARTER OF THEM! When the man makes a decision, then the man and his team make that money. If you don’t like… we have hundreds of million of Chinese who will.
How strange to think that Marvel would try to make Captain Marvel a central character in their movie series. Who would have thunk it?
From what I’ve heard, dudes with small penises are super-sensitive.
Hey now!Some of them might have huge cocks – it’s just that no one wants to go near them.
That explains why I can’t wear condoms.I am so sorry.
Because the nerve endings are packed together more closely?
Honestly?It is the difference between a man capable of pleasuring a woman (even haphazardly) and one who stares at them through windows… from the bushes.
STOP. SAYING. STAN. YOU. FUCKING. CHILDREN.
Has anyone even heard that song?

STOP. SAYING. STAN. YOU. FUCKING. CHILDREN.You just made Sebastian cry.
It’s just an actress holding a plastic hammer, you flaccid neckbeards.
These are True Believers we’re dealing with.
who cares about the hammer? We need to talk about those mom jeans.
It wasn’t always mom jeans..
I found her charming as Abed’s temporary girlfriend on Community but my response is tepid bordering on meh regarding her screen presence otherwise
those shorts are working though
Except for the camel toe 🙁
That’s the best part!
Whats wrong with camel toe?
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Wow, Captain Marvel has a nice, super-powered camel toe! Can she shoot photon blasts out of that thing?!
I love all of this, but I do have a geeky fanboy question: What characters in the comics marvel universe have wielded Thor’s hammer?? Asking for a friend.
Beta Ray Bill. Thor. Me. Seriously, who hasn’t?
I figured as much… I, myself, wielded the mighty Google and located this informationhttps://www.marvel.com/comics/discover/181/who-has-wielded-thors-hammer
Is “wielding Thor’s hammer” a euphemism for sex? It should be.
“I can feel the power of Thor flowing through me!”
It’s weird they’re triggered since Storm was Thor for a quick minute in the 80s, predating Jane Foster Thor by a couple decades.
a LOT at this point.
I like Brie Larson and Captain Marvel, but the character is somewhat problematic because she’s SO powerful (especially in her final form) that it’s hard to imagine how they would make up interesting challenges for her. Of course, Thor has had the same issue, which why he spent much of his debut movie de-powered, and was hobbled a bit (Loki stabbing him) in The Avengers just so everything didn’t look too easy for him. I’m sure they’ll figure it out with Captain Marvel.
They’ll just Goku her. She’s coming, guys, just hold on a little longer. In the meantime, allow me to thoroughly demonstrate how powerful this current threat is by beating up Hulk again. Goodness! She better hurry!
That doesn’t really work much anymore since Professor Hulk isn’t as strong as OG Hulk and might be even weaker depending on if his arm healed after Endgame.
That’s the entire premise for the upcoming “One Punch Man” video game
It’s the entire premise of the Bible.
I’ve long argued that Jesus needs to be nerfed
Did you just Warf Hulk in a point about Goku’ing someone?
I did. I did Worf him. Worfed him good. He needed a good Worfing. Worf is my new favorite verb.
Super heroes in general are so powerful that they had to invent super villain to give them challenges. The good news is they’re fictional. The author can solve balance issues by having a bystander exclaim, “great Scott, they’re evenly matched!” It’s all kinda stupid when you think about it.
They had to invent super-villains because Siegel and Shuster’s editors got mad that Superman was just terrorizing rich people all the time before that
Comic Book MoviesIt’s all kinda stupid when you think about it.
Considering the upcoming Eternals movie there is probably going to be competition for being the most powerful.
It boils down to whoever got talked down to as a kid or knocked down and got back on their feet the most.
They’ve done it to Thor, Vision and Captain Marvel. The comics version of the Vision had, maybe, two scenes in three movies where he was able to be his “normal” character power-wise.
That’s true, I forgot about Vision.
That wouldn’t be hard! I loved him in the comics and, outside of a couple of throwaway scenes, he was never really more than a victim and barely a presence. One of the real letdowns of the Avengers arc, which I thought was incredible overall.
And then Thanos took his infinity stone and he died, never to come back, and all that hopeful shit about him being a complex matrix of J.A.S.P.E.R., Tony, Bruce, the stone, so maybe the parts that were left would be the best parts…pfft. Nope, he just died.
To be fair, it was was a hopeful theory that relied on very carefully removing the stone to leave the remaining elements basically intact (I believe there was some technical jargon about one wrong move/misalignment causing a cascade of failures).Which uh…Thanos was definitely not careful in his extraction.
That’s true, but it still left hope that he could have been reconstituted in some way. Let’s put it this way, they could have if they had wanted to. The writers, that is.
Unless they’re going to make WandaVision like Loki and have it all be alternate timeline, somehow he is not dead.
You forgot Scarlett Witch, who’s actually crazy powerful when it’s fully unleashed.
My God, Vision was absolutely useless in Infinity War. What was the point of him? On a positive note, Scarlet Witch is super OP in Endgame, but I believe that is ALWAYS a good thing, plotwise.
In trying to find challenges for her, I think people focus too much on Captain Marvel’s power set and not enough on her personality type. She is a perfectionist, disciplined, hyperconfident and absolutely certain about her values and actions. She’s like Hal Jordan or Ed Harris playing A military man in The Right Stuff or The Rock (with a little Megan Rapinoe bravado). What tests them the most are emotions and moral questions. Like Green Lantern finding he has no answer for racism, or Neil Armstrong learning how to bond with his fellow astronauts. The Captain Marvel movie sort of understood that she needed a challenge to her moral certainty and sense of duty, but muddled the execution imo.So I think the best challenge and/or opponent for CM is not about power, but about questioning what is the right thing to do.
Very good, I think you nailed it. Going back to Thor, he is immensely powerful, but they make him compelling by having him battling himself over his failures and dealing with his crisis of confidence and I’m sure they can find similar ways to make Captain Marvel complex.and interesting.
Yes, Danvers needs vulnerabilities, flaws and challenges that evoke sympathy for the character. Her friendship with Rambeau and the mentor relationship she had with Mar-vell were the most compelling story elements for me and they weren’t given room to breathe imo.
The character is as arbitrarily powerful or non-powerful as every other superhero based on the script
So your favorite superhero is Hawkeye?
I actually do like Hawkeye quite a bit, but that probably has more to do with Jeremy Renner’s ace line delivery more than the fact that the character is sort of a regular joe among superpowered godlike beings. But there are plenty of superheroes on the Avengers team that aren’t overly powered, Captain America being a prime example, and Falcon, and Winter Soldier, and Black Widow (R.I.P.). And Spider-Man is pretty strong, but he also has that regular guy vulnerability.
Captain Marvel isn’t the only overpowered superhero. Thor, Hulk, and Superman are just a few superheroes who are notoriously difficult to write for in part because of their overwhelming power set.
Superman has been successfully running comics for, what, 80 years? The nice thing about fiction is that writers can always come up with something more powerful that forces the hero to learn something new, or discover or gain a new power.
Too bad there isn’t an entire catalog of stories and tribulations to pull from.
Like…jesus christ this is the worst comment.
She’s pretty powerful in some ways, but the way Thanos basically knocked her out in Endgame shows that she’s not at Superman levels (and in general Marvel characters are less powerful than DC characters). She just happens to be one of the most powerful characters introduced so far. She’s definitely not the most powerful human in the comics, though she way remain the most powerful in the MCU. If that’s the case then they can focus their stories around the fact that there’s only one of her and always too many things to do.
Thanos knocked her out with the POWER stone……
I think you kind of prove my point, as anyone using the Infinite Stones will be able to beat her. Also, I don’t think it matters where a person’s powers come from, even if it’s from external items like the stones. Otherwise several characters should be considered powerless, including Iron Man.In particular, from what we’ve seen in the movies, Thanos is physically equal to Hulk, the strongest character in the MCU. So in a one on one fist fight Thanos would probably still win. However, in literally any other type of fight her mobility and ranged attacks would allow her to beat him.
I don’t care about Marvel, but I sure enjoy seeing sexist nerd boys get mad, so please continue, Ms. Larson.
It’s like four dudes. Honestly, no one cares as much as Marvel and their PR team – they love the shit out of it. They sell an extra couple hundred tickets to “own those neckbeards!” or whatever
Probably. The small amount doesn’t make the neckbeard tears any less amusing though!
Don’t these fanboys know the difference between real life and movies? These guys should just get over it. I have a replica of the Maltese falcon on my fireplace mantle and I am no Sam Spade.
If you aren’t Sam Spade, then how did you lift it? Get em, boys!!!!
Get that out off of your mantle don’t make me start and online petition!
At last! The fatal mistake I was waiting for! Driver! Take me to the house this picture is from!
“Replica.” Nice try, but you’re not going to throw us off your trail that easily!
It’s the, uh, stuff that memes are made of.
That’s some ultraHD photography right there
That’s just what the *real* Sam Spade would say…!
You better be prepared for a visit from a morbidly obese man and a guy who sounds like four different perverts rolled together,
It’s been ages since I’ve read the book, but wasn’t the statue a fake to begin with? So wouldn’t your “replica” be just as authentic?
Let’s be honest: these are definitely the same people who get news from Facebook, follow Epoch, and stan Trump. They don’t know SHIT.
Love Brie.The MCU is supposed to be fun, folks.
The appropriate response to this should be, “I knew it!”
I adore Brie. I try to avoid anything remotely resembling celebrity worship (blah blah all people are flawed blah blah, people let you down…glares at St. Vincent’s IG post), but she seems charming. Passive-aggressively sticking it to misogynistic assholes is fun to me. I’ll remain wary (I’m brown, she’s white, even Chris Evans has misstepped with that pic he took with Crenshaw), but I enjoy what I see of her presence on the ole interwebs.
I just wish this would all go away. All of it.
Are there really more than 5 people annoyed by this woman? If so, may the Sun go Red Giant immediately.
There are a few loud weirdos who are outraged, and then their outrage gets signal boosted since it’s good PR for (in this case) Marvel. It’s a pretty depressing symbiotic relationship big studios and trolls have these days.
Like CM ain’t worthy. pssshhhhhhhhh.
Woke capitalism is so fucking bizarrely hostile.
Right.Larson is a perfectly fine actress, when the material is good.
The problem is that the most interesting thing about Larson & this character has become antagonism (performative or otherwise) of bad people. Pardon, if I don’t take the bait and sit around our little gawker tribal fire to howl at the moon about how good a meh movie was.
Look at how desperate you are to troll. No one took the bait, retards. This is the same energy as that woke Simpsons sketch.
Just to confirm, non of these ridiculous pissbabies would pay a stupid amount of money at Comic Con to get a photo of themselves holding Mjolnir, right?
And you all wonder how we ended up with Trump. SMDH…Real women lifting fake hammers meant for fake men. I mean, Jesus. Do the math.
I still feel like the actual rules for Mjolnir are too hazy. There’s no coherent, conventional moral framework under which Thor is an exceptionally moral superhero. Also, a major criticism that these guys like to cling to is that Carol Danvers is way too “arrogant” or doesn’t say sorry after every proton blast, as if she’s not in the same universe as Thor, Captain America, and Tony Stark. Again, more receipts.Tony Stark explicitly can’t lift it, it was meant to be plausible that Captain America couldn’t, Thor wasn’t sure he’d still be able to in Endgame.
I saw that first Avengers movie in a theatre and have always regretted it.
How on Earth is this worth reporting on?
I saw that post, and thought “ha, thats amusing” and moved on. Little did I know (or care) that a bunch of fanboys would get their underoos in a twist from it, but thankfully now I do. thanks for not ignoring them I guess?
I’m no fan of Larson or the character, as I thought she was by far the weakest part of both her own movie and Endgame, but as for this… whatever.I have no idea if MCU!Captain Marvel would be considered “worthy,” but she certainly has a better chance than Comic!Captain Marvel.
my favorite sub-genre of this neckbeardism is when they try to argue that Captain Marvel was secretly not as successful a movie as it actually was using “3 million fraudulent votes” level self-deception. It’s fun stuff.
That sure was a thing that happened across a handful of social media posts.
To be fair, a lot of those (pointless) comments seem to be talking about Captain Marvel not being worthy of lifting the hammer, not Brie being not worthy to play Captain Marvel. I did not dive deep into the comments though, so…
Me attacking her? I’m too much of a Brie fan.I was just trying to understand the comments mentioned in the article, like was Brie being criticised or just the character she portrays?
Unworthy how?
You’d have to ask Odin what constitutes as worthy.
Odin does casting at Marvel? But he’s dead!?
Pssht, Odin has died many times before. Hell, he hung himself from a tree and died that way just so he could learn how to read. You think a little thing like turning into glitter is going to really kill him? Obviously that wasn’t truly Ragnarok because Thor didn’t die battling Jormungandr.
*hanged
thank you. I always try to remember the line from A Feast for Crows “Hanged. Your father was not a tapestry.” but I slipped.
This explains why the Norse God curriculum charter school closed after the first semester.
Everybody wants to talk about freedom of religion, but as soon as you go hanging a bunch of animals from the tree in your front yard, the whole neighborhood starts calling you a monster. The squirrels didn’t get any real reactions, but man they really lost it over that horse.
Of holding the hammer or playing Captain Marvel?In the films, I’d say Captain Marvel hasn’t been shown to be worthy of holding Thor’s hammer, like Captain America was, for instance. Talking about Brie Larson, I have just a smidge of a crush on her and think she should be in everything, so probably not the best one to be giving a non-biased opinion.
😐
These people need to get fucked. Literally.
Ok, pitching an idea for a 5 minute short where Brie and Natalie destroy Galactus and The Beyonder while Milana Vayntrub sits on the side and offers advice.
Only if Kathy Griffin plays some all-knowing elder.
Jeez. These people are something else. My girlfriend’s son is one of them. He hasn’t even seen the movie but he won’t stop talking shit about her.
These arguments are obviously dumb so not even really worth discussing that much. I’ll just say that comic books are notorious for changing the status quo or doing drastic things for story reasons, so I have no idea why anyone clutches to an argument like “xyz could never happen” when discussing it.Like how many people would have argued that Jane Foster would never be Thor before that happened?
BUT DO YOU THINK THOR COULD BEAT UP SUPERMAN?!?!?
Captain Marvel is great and I look forward to her future adventures, but the example they picked regarding Thor’s behavior (Jodenheim raid) took place before (and was literally the original cause of why) Odin added the worthiness requirement to Mjolnir. You can’t ding someone for not being worthy before “being worthy” was even a thing. And the rest of that movie was about him becoming worthy. Just a bad specific example, that’s all. The other situation with Captain America is better evidence of gender bias when it comes to action heroes; he threw a guy onto the ground in front of speeding traffic and never looked back, “because Bucky.”
who cares about the hammer? We need to talk about those mom jeans.
It wasn’t always mom jeans…
can’t seem to get over their disdain for Brie Larson, who plays Captain Marvel in the MCU. On Twitter, on YouTube, on Change.org petitions, and, yes, this very site right here, the vitriol flows.
Hey hey hey, I think Larson’s a perfectly nice lady, it’s Danvers that sucks.
Judging someone by how they act in (a sea of endless) interviews is the sign of a true loser. Keep your finger on the trigger, Brie.
One dog barks at something, the rest all write furious comments on the internet about it.
Fuck those screw heads.I am a diehard MCU fan.So fuck these wannabe shit pricks.#Worthy
Well, actually….
Thor lost his ability to wield Mjolnir for most of the movie where he does that.
And Cap couldn’t lift it then either.
But that said, go Brie, run them trolls!
Try as she might, as if I could heart The Gambler (2014) any less ??
I’m offended by the mom jeans.
On occasion I think of the countless hours I’ve wasted over the years watching Yankees games in the summer and Knicks games during the winter and I think, am I a loser ? And then reading various articles about comic book fan boys freaking out about a black stormtrooper or a woman superhero in one of these movies and I think, I’m not the biggest loser
way too “arrogant”
I think we could probably save the world from a lot of its problems if we rounded up anyone who hates Brie Larson and launched them into the sun.
The movie was fine, but Brie Larson is and always has been as exciting as a paste made of Taylor Swift spread thinly across a slice of mediocre white dude.
I’m trying to figure out what is more life like, Mjolnir or her portrayal of Carol Danvers and yeah, it’s Mjolnir.
The liberal killjoy in me wants to point out that using “triggered” in this way cheapens the concept of reliving trauma and plays right into the hands of the reactionary assholes.
“Triggered” is joining that subset of formerly useful words that don’t mean what they used to mean anymore. Like “friend zone” and “literally”.
#FAKENEWS
Don’t forget “ironic.” Oh, and “iconic” too.
This is the clip that keeps on giving.
I would rather Brie keep this path of Captain Marvel. The Civil War II storyline really fucked her character story over.
Brie Larson triggers me……because she’s the least charismatic actor in the MCU thus far.Captain Marvel deserved better, folks.
The best thing about things like this is that it makes it easier for me to weed out the losers amongst my Facebook or Twitter feeds.
Were there actually any “triggered dudebros” that got worked up about this picture of an actor holding a prop? Because all this article contains is random Twitter belchings from various nudniks crowing about how triggered others are going to be, and yet I don’t see any proof that reacted that way.We rightly mock conservatives for their whole “own the libs” mentality so it always annoys me when we stoop to it. Enjoy Captain Marvel (and Valkyrie, and Black Panther, and whoever) for being exciting and interesting characters that make a lot of people happy, not because they piss off some subset of troglodyte.
There’s four examples in the second Twitter picture
This is weird.
Wow – if we could harness the energy behind mindless indignation and put it to productive use, think of the things we could so as a society! This is a wonderful example of how western society has devolved over the past 20 years.
I’m an MCU fan (not a boy, but a grown ass man) and this is good. Why? Expose the trolls for who they are because they are still gonna spend money on Marvel products.And to the actual people who are triggered by this: I didn’t Kevin Feige signed your outrage royalty checks. It’s just an Instagram post.Anyone else see Captain Marvel possibly making at least a cameo in Thor: Love and Thunder? I’m here for it.
I call BS.This is PR…they were counting on internet trolls as part of the narrative they are pushing.The goal of this PR stunt was to get the *second* headline, the article you’re reading now, and this:Brie Larson posting a picture of herself holding Mjolnir prop despite knowing she’s gonna make some men pressed is a BIG bad bitch energyInternet trolls exist and any celebrity’s social media will have trolls. Anything a big celebrity posts will attract trolls, regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity – – trolls will do their trolling.This was a PR stunt designed knowing there would be at least some people trolling her about the hammer, and using that certainty to get headlines about how this ‘tough independent woman silences the trolls’.
I think this is the only proper place to say this: weird flex but ok. j/k. The fact that Capt. Marvel is a bit arrogant is like the point; fighter pilots being arrogant is like a whole thing. Internet comments are just terribly exhausting. He writes in an internet comment.
Actress trolling insecure neckbeards. It’s great fun, but what about MCU cannon. I enjoy the movies, but never really read the comics. Is Captain Marvel actually able to lift Mjolnir?
I also don’t buy the comments that she couldn’t because she was too arrogant. Hel was able to lift it, and she was evil in the movies. I don’t think Mjolnir’s characterization of worthy is tied to humanity’s moral values. Or at least not completely.
But maybe I’m wrong on that. Like I said, haven’t read the comics.
Why is everybody so angry? Why is everything red vs blue now? Why do we dehumanize and base-insult everybody that we don’t agree with?
I like to swap the genders, and if it makes me feel bad in one but not the other, I try to check myself. I don’t like that it’s rapidly becoming impossible to voice criticism on creative decisions on a body of work that has established rules for itself for ~58 years. I don’t like all the insults this article is encouraging against the kind of superfans that would also argue the use of “reversing the polarity of the tachyons” in this particular episode of Star Trek was inconsistent with the usage in these other episodes.If three women are being killed every nine days while jogging, maybe we should fucking do something about it. Maybe people that actually experience harassment to the point of needing to change their behaviors should make it one of their issues and push for new legislation. Make cat-calling a goddamn felony with mandatory counseling to identify violent tendencies. As a nerdy, pimple-faced man, I have literally never experienced this towards me or observed it. I’m tired of being told what a fucking garbage, small-dicked person I am purely for being male. . I’ll vote for whoever will get this done. This is an issue; let’s fucking do something about it
mmmmmmmm…….she’s rather tasty looking
“Males are defenseless against my charm, my curves. They melt like putty in my hands. They can’t help but to bow down and worship me so no one else will think they’re gay or something. Their girlfriends are envious of me, knowing they could never supplant my image in the minds of their pathetic boyfriends. And when this photo shoot is done, I’m going shopping.”
Don’t forget the Disney crowd there, Brie!Next photo betta be you hefting that sword from The Sword in the Stone.
How are people this dumb?
I want Brie Larson to put out a 365-day calendar with nothing but pics of her holding Mjoliner while standing in a river of MCU dudebro’s salty, salty tears.
I love how the comments are either “you’re sexist for not liking her picture” or “you’re a nerd with a neckbeard for caring”. Stop it. Folks get it’s an actor with a prop and it’s not real life. Just because someone might bother them as a fan doesn’t mean they are jerks or damaged or stupid or assholes. So stop it. Act your age people.
Girl power and whatever and all that…
But can we stop celebrating possibly the worst actress in the MCU?
There are hundreds of other actresses in the world who would have done a better job at acting than she did.
And yeah, it is funny to crap on the banbois, but the MCU was built by this crowd, and there is only so much shitting on them they will tolerate before they decide to turn her next movie into Thor 2 or The Incredible Hulk staring Edward Norton.
Dudebros:CAPTAIN MARVEL ISN’T WORTHY BC SHE BRAGS ABOUT HOW POWERFUL SHE IS & ISNT SELFLESS!
Proving yet again that these dipshits don’t actually know what the inscription on Mjolnir actually means or how it works. (also it’s just an actor holding a prop, so there’s that).
MCU Fanboys: “Girl with Thor Hammer! Yuck!”
MCU Fanmen: “Hell yeah! Go get ‘em Ms. Marvel!”
Well she still can’t act so I guess the incels win in the end.
That guy playing tony stark actually thinks he’s tony stark. I remember seeing Peter o’toole playing Priamos in Troy. I was convinced that Peter O’ Toole actually believed he’s Priamos, roaming around his mansion with his chlamydae, telling the driver that him driving through Arby’s at 5 in the morning was “the will of the godssss”. That was funny, tony stark is not.
