And it's like a worse Fallout 3, where the writers didn't plan to have you survive the ending, so there's a lot of handwaving and little meaningful interaction with the storyline.
it's interesting because if they'd actually built that up and went somewhere with that, there's a way it could've worked. Like he never worked out with Jane Foster because they were too different, but in Carol he finds an equal. For her, Thor could be the first man outside Fury who acknowledges her strength of might and spirit and doesn't discount her for her gender Don't know or care if it'd be comic accurate but they could have become the Stark/Pepper power couple of the second generation of Avengers. But that'd require the Marvel writers room to have an ounce of respect for Thor as a character and a willingness to make Carol vulnerable and relatable. Fat chance in this age
@@TS6815true... I could see Thor/Cpt. Marvel in a kinda cold & distante but romantic relationship. Something the writers should have tried... but they came up with the Thor 4 storyline instead 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@TS6815 exactly. Instead its just completely superficial writing. Thor says it for no reason, motivated by nothing, with no justification. It comes out of nowhere. Tony also says something similar earlier in that same scene. But its sort of under his breath as hes ranting at cap. So it's easy to miss. At least for him it make some sense because she saved his life. But even that is coincidental. She just shows up. She isnt shown putting in any work to try to find him. She just has ultimate powers and because she has those powers shes able to just find them. So it doesnt feel earnt as of we saw he show up on earth, do some investigating, go to the titan homeworld, spend time trying to find hem, interspliced with the scenes of tony and nebula on the ship. And its especially awkward because none of these character really compliment each other in this way at all in amy other movies. Most of the time theyre conflicted against each other and dissagreeing all the time. Then suddenly two do it in one scene about the same character. It was so blatant.
I recently watched the Infinity Saga with my wife. It was her first time. She has loved almost all of the movies and characters. We skipped Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Ant-man since those movies and characters didn't play a major role in the last Avengers movies, but we are watching Ant-man and Black Panther now. When we watched End Game and Captain Marvel came on screen to save Tony and then flew him back to earth she was a little shocked and curious. Then Captain Marvel opened her mouth and disrespected the other Avengers and claimed she had protected thousands of worlds single-handedly. And that curiosity turned to anger with my wife saying, "who the f*** does this bitch think she is?" Then Thor dropped his, "I like this one" line and she balked, "Why?!" My wife has loved all of the female characters in the infinity saga, but Captain Marvel was so unlikable that the only reason she continued End Game was because I told her that she only appeared in 10% of the movie. And yes, she hated the fact that Captain Marvel almost single handedly stopped Thanos. It was unearned.
Ant man and black panther did kind of play a huge role in those endgame movies but. Not that I care. The technology created in those movies played a big role in the outcome.
What’s crazy to me is that they rushed Captain Marvel movie when they had been planning to use the spot her movie was in for a Nova movie. Apparently we were going to see the destruction of the nova planet that was in GotG1 and see one Nova remaining. Making End Game his revenge story and he would’ve been the one to destroy the ship instead.
The Thor line does make sense. Thor values strength and confidence, and arrogance. Thor is a better character than Captain Marvel, but he would see a reflection of himself in her, as he is confident, arrogant and frankly quite the narcissist.
Just a quick lesson I learned as filmmaker early on: With casting actors I learned that they’ll say whatever to get the part and to keep the part once they have it. When I was still in college and casting for my senior film, when I first began having casting reads, I provided a an irrelevant shit script. I wrote something nebulous and stupid. After each reading I asked the actors how they felt about it and damn near everyone of them made up some bullshit about what it meant and said that it was brilliant. Only one actor didn’t and even though she didn’t get the part, I brought her on as a script supervisor. Ultimately you shouldn’t trust what an actor says, whether theyre at the bottom or top of their game. It’s almost always just shit.
its a zero sum game right? or are they volunteering? its not like they are going to give it away for free or they would be president of the studio themselves. actors should be writers and writers should be actors. and the reader? the audience? should be no one.
The only reason the first Captain Marvel was such a massive box office hit, was because it came out right before Avengers Endgame and it was heavily implied by Marvel that you had to watch the Captain Marvel film before Endgame for continuity. If they had not tricked audiences, the movie would have not made as much money.
And the tickets bought that nobody turned up to use? It wasn't a billion dollar movie even with Endgame's help! They can't afford to do that now can they?
@@Darkwintre I was stupidly there opening day. 10% occupied in that almost empty theater. I was there opening day for Alita Battle Angel. Same time and theater. An almost full theater with about 10% empty seats. Literally the opposite.
The thing is, Brie was actually perfect casting because Carol Danvers is a toxic person in the comics as well. The movie actually toned down how unlikeable her character is.
I'd have gone for a bloke. The terrible art in the comics has strongly suggested Captain Marvel is transgender, hence 'Carl Manvers'. My favourites were the pig nose phase and when they drew her as Silent Bob.
Thats today's narcissistic lefties for you. Hating me makes you nasty and toxic because I'm a victim but it's ok for me to hate whoever I decide is my target and I'll hate you if you don't hate them with me
I do feel a bit bad for her, since her toxic behavior mostly comes from her being a very insecure person. She probably thought that being in the MCU would be great for her character, as its been for most of the actresses who have appeared in it. I know she was very happy about being cast as Captain Marvel, I remember her saying that she was really exited about having been given the chance to inspire young girls. Then to receive this amount of flak (and from some people; hate and harassment) would be thought for anyone, now imagine how it must be for someone who's extremely insecure. The stupid things that she said is obviously her own fault, but the embarrassing pro-feminism "we need to stand up against bad men" way that the movie tried to do female empowerment and the way the media hijacked the film to push politics, and the anti-woke community taking the bait, is not her fault. Brie is (to a large extent) a victim of the culture war, as both sides used her to push their agenda, she wouldn't be nearly as hated if they hadn't. This is another reason for why I feel bad for her. As someone who struggles a lot with insecurities myself (but handles it in a much better way than Brie Larson), I want her to overcome her insecurities and become a better person, and all this online hatred is only gonna make that harder for her to do. Whenever other actresses (like Jennifer Lawrence) has said stupid shit, it been forgotten about after a while, because it wasn't hijacked by the culture war in the same way. Brie not playing the Captain Marvel character anymore would probably be for the better, but I'm not sure that she would be able to accept that playing Captain Marvel was a failure for her.
It's hard to engage the audience when the actor is openly antagonistic, and the character has nothing to latch onto other than "she's the strongest"...
I have no sympathy for Brie. I *would* have sympathy if she was a nice person and just got cast as a badly written and unlikable protagonist (like Hayden Christensen was unfairly blamed for how bad Anakin was), but she showed utter contempt for the genre's target audience with toxic comments that were both baseless and uncalled for.
Having followed the MCU since the beginning and some of the news about the actors/actresses I do remember that Brie was supposed to be the next Iron Man. In the original MCU I would argue it was largely focused around Iron Man and Captian America. She certainly signed up to be the leader after end game, and probably didn't realize that she could destroy the role so easily with one comment. I think if you go back in time and stop her from saying the comment about men, people don't look into the body language of people around her, they maybe brush off the tom cruise comment etc etc. It started with the first comment and snowballed because she didn't come out and just apologized to the fans. That comment also made it obvious that there was a shift in the stories, not because it made sense, to push the agenda. It really is the start of everything tanking.
Her movie could have been developed longer. Compare it to Capitan America (1st one). Small framed man, eveyone pities him, looks down on him and doubts him. Instead of shamung them or ranting, the character is given immense power and proves he's a good person, a hero, by what he does with that gift. Capatain marvel: 😐 Everyone: "STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL" Didnt make any sense. Did you see "Room"? She was brilliant in it. She can act, but the Captain Marvel film and her public comments derailed everything.
The Captain Marvel thing was fumbled by everyone involved: -First Brie Larson who had kind of a girl next door persona came out like a bitter college feminist who has the dumbest opinions you ever met. Just seething angry if you had a different opinion of her and generally unlikable. -Then they introduce this new character as the most powerful avenger 1 month before the finale that took 10 years to build up. -Then Marvel just starts attacking their fans who don't like her calling them all misogynists. -Then the Captain Marvel movie itself sucks and was so clearly an orchestrated cash grab by implying you wouldn't understand the final chapter of the most interesting and fun storyline in movies in maybe 30 years if you didn't see it. Everything here turns fans against the franchise and they managed to do it all in a matter of months.
I’ll be honest I wasn’t really following MCU/movie news when captain marvel came out. I just remember seeing Captain Marvel and hating it. Was was this “first comment” that everyone is talking about?
For me there was absolutely no reason introducing Cpt Marvel when we should have gotten a Black Widow spy thriller, considering what happened to BW in End Game!
Brie Larson's Captain Marvel sequel is a huge flop losing 237 million, the worst flop ever for Disney. Disney is stunned after less than 40% of women bought tickets to The Marvels a clear sign something is terribly wrong with MCU.
I always say this with my friends when she comes up in conversation. I blame the writers for not liking Captain Marvel, and I blame Brie Larson for not liking Brie Larson. I don’t need to like the actor to enjoy the on-screen character, but if you come off wrong in interviews, that’s on you.
I think on of the primary differences between RDJ and BREEE is their sense of 'grace'. RDJ screwed things up and knows it, but he got a chance he maybe didn't deserve so now he's just happy to have fans at all. BREEE sees things from almost the opposite point of view: she's (falsely) convinced she deserved vastly more than she's gotten, and is very upset with all of us and the universe as a whole for not bringing it all to her.
Can you imagine Emily Blunt or Katee sackoff in that role? Even as terribly written as the character was, either one of them would have at least been able to pull off the “tough but vulnerable” thing they were trying to go for. Either one of them would have been far more likeable. But no, they went with Brie
I think they would have been more likable, but the role was still terrible. Just horribly directed and they had no idea what they were doing with the character.
Nah, wouldn't make any difference. The Marvel writers clearly don't know what to do with the Captain Marvel character. That tough but vulnerable it's the writer's thing, any actress played the role but with same shitty script wouldn't make any difference. It's still a terrible role 🤷
On one hand you have someone like Brie and on the other you have someone like Cavil. One feels like the audience owes her while the other is just so passionate in playing the character that it is oozing out of him.
I think you've somewhat hit the nail on the head there. Hollywood's big issue at the moment is that they are dead set on pushing the actors to show this image that IT want's people to accept when in actual fact, what makes a movie star likable is their ability to make us believe in and appreciate the characters that they portray on film and then when they do a good job, not let it go to their heads when it goes wrong. Using Cavil as an example, not all of his movies have been brilliant, there are a couple of stinkers out there however, despite that he hasn't lashed out at movie goers as them being the issue and so doesn't go after them. He takes it on the chin and carries on because he just does his best to provide as good a performance as he can fitting to that character (and many would say that even if the movie he's in turns out bad, he's still the best part of that movie as a result of that and will continue to watch his movies) and that's what people like about him, his commitment to tell a good story through his character. Larson and many people like her, on the other hand, rather than showing humility in their work, place the blame at the feet of the movie goers when their movie doesn't pan out. Essentially attacking the people who pay her salary or at least enable her to command her salary with movie studios, something they somehow lose site of repeatedly, then wonder why no one likes them and stop going to see anything they're involved in.
You can say the same about Scarlett J, and quite a few others as well. By and large, the Marvel ensemble has been made up of extremely likable, game performers, which makes her failure in that regard that much more distracting.
I actually like Brie Larson as a actress but I just think they’ve given her good material on the projects she’s been in, I mean they could’ve given any actress that role and it still would’ve fell flat.
I do not need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn't work for him about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn't made for him. - Brie Larson. Every single time I see this woman. This is all I remember about her. No matter how many cars 🚗 commercials. No matter how many movies 🎥. Even though I’m a 58 year old Puerto Rican man. It just rub me the wrong way.
Thats alright. Im tired of people telling me they're not a white male as if that somehow gives their opinion and thoughts some gravitas instead of just letting them stand on their own merit.
In large part it's this self-loathing anti-white sentiment and their obsession with racially othering us from each other. I actually wouldn't have minded if she said "it wasn't made for 40 year old dudes" - probably a chick flick, gotcha. But apparently men aren't just men, white men like me are supposed to be totally different from Latino men like you.
The Captain marvel movie should have been released in phase four. The movie between Infinity War and End Game should have been the Black Widow Hawkeye story.
@@77Treasurehunter77 They needed to make an actual Black Widow and Hawkeye movie. With them both being spies and some intrigue. Maybe starting on opposite sides and becoming uneasy allies. Something like that. But the Black Widow movie Disney did make was utter garbage.
I was a big Marvel Comics fan when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. My favorite was Iron Man and I was so enthralled with the "Demon in a Bottle" story arc. It humanized a guy that was supposed to have everything; brains, money, women, etc. Can you imagine Disney doing something like that with one of it's female characters? I see this as their issue, none of the female characters have flaws to work through. They don't grow as a character. They could, Fox did it with the female characters in their X-Men movies.
Exactly. Female characters aren't the problem. The problem is that they aren't writing *good* female characters. Which is especially sad when you realize that characters like She Hulk were actually quite charming in the comics (imo), but are just plain insufferable in the MCU.
@@rocknatex5013She-hulk in the comics was funny. And she was different from Hulk, she wasn't as strong or tough, but she was smart, which gave her a different kind of edge. Now on Disney, she is just BETTER. And for no reason, no training, no development, no experience, and no reason for being better.
What’s interesting is that people were completely on board with having more Marvel movies after endgame Just look at far from home The issue was that we wanted more stories but the studio couldn’t think of any good ones even though they have a library of comics to go off of, identity politics was their priority, but it wasn’t ours
Thanos wasn't even the best multi arc Avenger storyline in comics. There was the Skull/Kree war, The Michael Saga, Kang Dynasty, Secret Wars and Civil War. They only touched on Civil War which could have been good for a few years.
@@blacksnk I mean, yeah. But as of right now, they've already fumbled the Skrull plotlines and Kang. I would've loved to have seen Planet Hulk and Worldbreaker Hulk, but they've even screwed *that* up already with Thor Ragnarok and smart Hulk.
I promise after Endgame when Feige said, "we have stories for the next 10 years." I was genuinely overjoyed. I thought about X-MEN, I thought about finally getting a good Fantastic Four movie, who will play Doctor Doom, etc. To get this and get told you're a bad person for not liking it sucks.
My main issue has been escalation. Every movie has to have some world-ending cataclysm. Each is equivalent to Luke starting _A New Hope_ on Tatooine, and by the end of the movie he's killed the Emperor. Where do you take the story now? How does Shang-Chi grow as a character now that he's defeated an inter-dimensional soul eater? How does nobody talk about the giant alien body jutting out of the planet that absolutely has altered the interior structure? Why is Kang so dangerous when arguably the two most powerful versions have both been defeated relatively easily?
I honestly was surprised she even went back to the Captain Marvel role in the first place. She knew everyone hated her in the first film, and seemed to be happy enough to be out of Hollywood instead doing her own channel and podcast.
Because she like Megan Markle discovered that she's not actually likeable, interesting, or motivated enough to be a successful podcaster or youtuber. Then she remembered she's a spoiled valley girl and used industry contacts to start doing movies and commercials again instead.

The change in Brie's (perceived) character that Baggage Claim talked about reminded me of something Gwyneth Paltrow once told: when her "star started to rise", her dad (Bruce Paltrow) took her to the side and told her "You know, you're turning into a bit of an asshole". And she (or someone else, but I think it was Gwyneth in the same interview) also said that the weird thing with fame and success if that at some point, at some level of success, you start having people who remove problems and obstacles in your life.
Well yeah...when you hit it big you're a cash cow for a lot of different people (agent, studio, family etc). I'd argue it's more difficult to stay yourself in that situation then to become an unlikable dick
"Fame is like a drug; like heroine or checking your e-mail. Once you have a taste, you'll do anything to get more." - Melvin 'Sideshow Mel' Van Horne, The Simpsons
Note how Robert Downey Jr. went against the grain in regards to Mel Gibson. He knows he's had too many public failings to be anything but grateful for all chances he's gotten. He understands forgiveness.
Carol Danvers, Nick Fury, Captain Mar-Vell, the Kree Empire and the Skrulls and their Secret Invasion are all better handled by Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated show.
I think Baggage Claim (sorry, don't know her name) is correct. Brie let the role go to her head and has now learned the hard way, that attacking the hand that feeds (all of us) is the worst decision any actor/actress could make. I don't believe it's going to get any better for her if she leaves either. Same with Rachel Zeglrr. She's going to fall fast before she even gets any real time in movies.
There was a movie that I wanted to see, but none of my friends ever saw it. I usually don't like seeing a movie alone. I decided to make an exception. It had been out a while, but I still saw posters for the film, when I had visited the theater not long ago. HOWEVER, when I decided to look online, to see times and showings, I noticed that every theater was showing Captain Marvel. I tried checking other cinemas, and it was the same case - even for farther away cinemas. Every theater in every cinema was showing Captain Marvel. I had heard stories, but I didn't believe it, until I saw it myself. The movie I wanted to see (on another page) wasn't due to be removed, until the following week, but there was no way to see it. Maybe, the Captain Marvel did well, but there were some unusual circumstances working in its favor.
I remember it was reported that Timothy Chalamet said that a fellow well known actor told him to avoid superhero films like the plague. In fact, actors are now going out their way to not do superhero films because their momentum killers for actors on the rise. The character you're playing will always be more famous than yourself.
I remember Chris Evans had a pretty good performance in "Street Kings" with Keanu Reeves. Was basically a movie about dirty cops who are isolated to a squad that handles the nastiest crimes. IMO, it's an underrated movie, but either way, Evans was pretty solid. Probably gonna be difficult to shed the Captain America image right away. Then again, Matthew McConaughey made his money doing rom-coms and then went on to do some pretty cool movies. 2 for the Money, The Lincoln Lawyer, True Detective, Mud.... and lest we forget his role in Tropic Thunder.
I don't think that's true. When people see Robert Downey JR, he is Iron Man and Chris Evans is Captain America. No other actor will ever be more famous than them in those roles; at the very least it would take a monumentally phenomenal performance to do so.
That may have been true back in the 70s and such with the dinner Superman movies but it's not really true today. Most of the big names in the MCU have successful projects outside of their superhero roles. Ranging from high budget TV series to Netflix movies to other Hollywood theatrical releases. Getting type cast to a specific character doesn't happen much anymore.
I remember watching the first Ironman movie with my dad when it came out. After only 20 mins my dad turned to me and said: “Robert Downey Jr isn’t acting . This is legit his personality.” Even back then RDJ felt like he was being himself and not fake like Brie Larson.
I mean rubber powers aren’t in themselves unique, it’s how they are used, and Ms.Marvel has some of the most BORING ways for them to show off that power, Kamala never does anything but BIG FIST 👊 and it’s soooo lame.
It's probably to her advantage for her to say she's disillusioned with the character and hint that she wants to move on away from it. If the new movie tanks, she can say that she's just as happy to concentrate on other roles. If it's a big-enough success, she can say that the big success convinced her to do a third movie. But getting past that cynical possibility, I do think she's painted herself into a corner that she regrets. I feel kinda bad for her. Not exactly "sorry for her", but I hope that she has some future roles which are more successful than the ones she's had in the Marvel universe. I'd say that Robert Downey Jr may have an air of arrogance, but it's an attitude of "I'm Great!" and not "You people suck". I think we'd all like to feel as confident in ourselves as RD seems to be, but we also don't want to turn into someone who despises large groups of people.
Whoever came up with the term M.She.U is genius. I keep hearing about the toxic people bringing down the movie. I think that is just B.S. If the first movie brought in billions, it's because everyone went to see the movie. But if you push certain agenda then the fan will get disillusioned. They bought a ticket to a superhero movie not an agenda. The thing is the first movie brought in billions because the fans cared about the captain marvel being a superhero and not her being a woman. They keep pushing that the fans are toxic, sexist and prejudiced. If that would have been the case then the first movie would also have flopped but it didn't. People did not see iron man because he is a man. They are fan of his abilities. If the corpos at Hollywood can't comprehend it. The question remains. Should they be running things?
Marvel only offered Brie the role because she just won the Best Actress Oscar for "Room" and thought they could capitalize on that heat. They overlooked the fact that the face of a potential multi-billion dollar franchise has to actually be likeable to earn repeat business.
@@atomtension5645 Regardless what you think about her right now, she deserved her Oscar win for her fantastic career best performance in Room. If you seen the movie, you can't deny that she did a terrific job in Room. When she's given the right material, she shines there
@@Erasureeraser There's a difference between technical acting skill and showing emotion and fun charisma that you need to carry a superhero/adventure/thriller movie.
... I completely forgot she was in that and how good her performance was. Crazy how she overshadowed all her past achievements with her Captain Marvel crap.
Brie Larson in Scott Pilgrim was amazing. Her cover of Black Sheep was honestly near perfect. She used to be well liked by the general audience. And she definitely CAN sing very well.
Yeah, Brie isn't the only actress who played very well in SPvTW, and look what happened to them. ME Winstead now plays Hera Syndulla and Alison Pill had to play Annoying Lady in Star Trek: Picard. A generation of talented actresses is being burnt up by writers who believe an agenda must be pushed, but the outcome is the exact opposite of they intended. Turns out bad writers are even worse social engineers.
Baggage Claim is truly a fantastic addition to this team. Chris Gore is always great and so is The Drinker of course. They're all good. Quite a team they got on this channel, imo.
As someone who was completely put off by her interview persona but also thought the movie was kind of mid... why would you walk away from this role? Even if the movies are terrible, sign in, collect your paycheck and go home. Ignore the internet and it all goes away... and if anyone complains just say hey... i didn't write the story. boom. You're done.
Fully intended to wait on what all you guys had to say about Captain Marvel when it premiered prior to Endgame. Once you all said that the movie added virtually nothing significant to the Infinity saga, the over powered character, the “all men are bad” attitude, and her subsequent horrendous public statements, I made the decision to not waste money and time on it. Thanks for what you do… you guys ROCK!
Anyone remember when Rhonda Rousey was the fancast top pick for Captain Marvel? It's almost like you need a real "School of Hard-knocks" type to play the role up.
Brie is actually a good actress who made an ill-advised grab for superstardom as Captain Marvel. Brie shone in films such as Room and The Glass Castle, and I'm sure she now wishes she'd stuck with that type of film (naturalistic) and stayed away from the comic book films. She's young yet and there's time for her to get back on track.
The loss of Chadwick, as sad as might be for many people, isn't at the same level in the franchise as RDJ, Chris Evans and Scarlett leaving the MCU. Not by a huge margin. Only added for racial points, wich is disgusting.
I kinda thought the same thing. Black Panther wasn't really a huge part of these movies. He was best in Civil War and his own movie wasn't even very good. He's certainly not the person I think of when I think of Marvel movies. The movie got nominated for Best Picture for very obvious reasons. It wasn't the even close to the best picture that year and it's nowhere near even the best Marvel movies. Winter Soldier craps all over that jungle movie.
The only reason why the first Captain Marvel movie was a huge success was because it preceded End Game, although it's debatable that CM1 was a success because if I can remember correctly there were cinemas with "Ghost Seating", where there were a lot of booked seats that didn't have anyone seated in them. It's possible that many of these were pre-booked seats that ended up not showing up after the "toxic 40 year olds" video materialised but couldn't get a refund, but it could be possible that Disney faked the movie's box office numbers.
If 'Catpain Marvel' was REALLY as successful as Disney claimed it was, why didn't they used the Endgame cut where she was featured hugely instead of the Endgame cut where she barely appeared at all? If it was REALLY as successful as Disney claimed, why didn't they rush out her sequel as the 'face of the next phase' like they said they were going to do? NONE of that makes sense unless they KNEW she was wildly unpopular and they LIED about it...
@@HerculesBallsInc Well, it doesn't surprise me, Disney lied about the Snow White remake's photos with the non-dwarfs being fake, only for it to actually be true, and they lied about The Little Mermaid remake's budget, which was actually far more than what they originally reported, which means that movie was a huge box office flop. Honestly, it boggles my mind that TLM remake actually has loads of cringe fan, and yet it still flopped like the rotten fish it is.
@@diomedes7971 Yep, this whole thing with Brie Larson becoming the main face of the MCU is a complete joke! She's a manufactured star with a toxic attitude that the majority of fans don't like!
Captain Marvel success is not due to Brie Larson but in spite of her. We were enjoying the MCU and Avengers ending and in spite of her interviews, we still watched it. Compare that with all the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Panther movies. They all gave awesome interviews. And Brie Larson is disillusioned? Why doesn't she take a look at herself and change herself? These female empowerment actresses like Brie and Rachel Ziegler. Weird? Weird? Huh? It's Hollywood, baby. She can blame all the criticism and hurtful words all she wants but it was all caused by her own attitude. No movie was made because no one would watch them. Even then, in order to fulfill the contractual obligation of a second movie, they had to dilute her role.
What I found most interesting was the part of the discussion about who Brie actually is. And the one thing that kept popping into my head is that - I don't think she even knows. She molds herself (or at least attempts to) into whatever persona she feels is going to make her the most popular, or likeable, or successful, or whatever. In other words, there is no *real* Brie. It's always been an affectation, a role, designed to achieve an end. But if you were to sit down and try to see what's really underneath, the reality is that there probably isn't much of anything. Just an empty shell of a human waiting to be filled with the next performance.
If it had only been her playing a character that was written in a very unflattering way, I could've understood. You're paid to act the role, if the director and writers cast your character into a bad light, there's nothing to be done. The problem here is that she enthusiastically participated in bashing the fans and throwing shade at anyone who didn't like how the character and some scenes in the first movie were written and cut. You can't pee on someone's leg and then complain when they don't view you in a favourable light afterwards.
I don't know, I always feel that personality of Brie's was always there but her and her agent/management were smart to keep it in line as she hadn't cemented herself as a star yet. Once she got her Oscar for Room at 26, and then got the Marvel role. She knew she made it. So she didn't need to play the nice humble person anymore. The opposite to Rachel Zegler who hasn't cemented herself but has burned many bridges for herself with her recent behaviour. At least Brie was somewhat smart and kept that horrible man hating side of herself to she cemented the fame thing. She's a good actress if given the right material. For me, she's not a top tier A List actress type. She's more a leading Indie actress, who might knock out a award worthy performance here and there. But she's not someone you want leading a franchise or a big blockbuster, just cause she's not a likeable performer and that goes a long way in Hollywood. Hugh Jackman is great cause he can do tons of interviews and chat shows and charm you into the cinema. Brie can't do that.
There are quite a few actresses who play the 'golly I'm so lucky' role as new people and then a year or two later the mask drops and they're complete egomaniacs. BREEE was neither the first nor the last, sadly.
People not likening Larson has everything to do with her as a person, not the movies. Not saying she’s a bad person, but her arrogant interviews, and angst against men and what not….she’s kinda unbearable
The "Wrinkle in Time" comment bugs me because it's a pet peeve of mine that people do that sort of thing to divert criticism. You see it all the time in sports where athletes use the, "You never played, so you can't criticize me." defense. The idea that someone from the outside can't observe and learn a subject and make an informed critique is absurd. You don't need to be a writer to recognize good or bad dialog. You don't need to be an actor to recognize a good performance from a bad one. Sure, there's nuance and things you may not aware of, but the product is the product. It's really just a form of quelling dissent. Would you ever tell someone they can't criticize their leaders because they've never been President/Senator/Congressman? Those are hard jobs. I'd never want to do them. I'd be terrible at it. It doesn't mean I can't say when I think someone did a bad job.
It's not like Ms. Larson has had any other notable roles and given her lack of acting ability I doubt this choice will have any impact her future irrelevancy.
I’ve played midnight suns( surprisingly I really enjoyed it… though I understand it’s not everyone’s game) you have chances to interact with multitude of hero’s Carol being one of them. When I first saw her I was like crap she’s in this. To my dismay I actually like that version. She’s lively, charming, sure of herself which is fine if you have other charming qualities. Confidence is fine until arrogance. Combat wise she’s of course powerful so having her in combat is nice. Blade having a crush on her is actually funny and charming…. They needed most of that in her cinema appearances.
I always felt that if they were going to cast someone from Community with "Brie" in her name as Captain Marvel, they should have gone with Alison Brie. Almost every other main Community actor is in the MCU lol.
One of the differences between Brie Larson and RDJ is that she made the concious decision to step into some controversial topics. RDJ made the concious decision to STAY OUT of controversial topics. And to be fair, wanting greater diversity in the FIlm Review industry should not be that controversial. It is unfortunate that the messenger became more important than the message.
It is considering real life implications of how these groups actually interact with each other. Believe me when I tell you that these “representation” folks are *very* racist people, they can’t stand working directly under white people
"And to be fair, wanting greater diversity in the FIlm Review industry should not be that controversial." -- I agree. But as Red Letter Media pointed out, it's like the least important thing in the whole world to care about. It's also not obvious it's a real problem at all - are there really people trying to get into film reviewing and unable to do so because the "Film Review industry" won't let them? I mean, does the "Film Review industry" even exist at a thing at all? If you asked feminists what they thought were the most important issues to address in society, I am confident that "more women being paid to write film reviews" would appear a long way down the list. It's not exactly a high status or well paid job.
when they mentioned "room" i kept thinking about "the room" starring tommy wiseau, and having brie larson in the lisa role, even thought she was about 18 when they filmed it so basically we need a remake of the room with brie larson as lisa
Baggage Claim nailed it. Its the arrogance. Brie comes across like her arrogant horribly written Capt Marvel character. Arrogance soaked in Arrogant, hence why no matter how much money that film made its not beloved and the character is not wanted. Its also why Rachel Zegler is massively disliked. She also drips of arrogance.
Katee Sackhoff has a great UA-cam channel. And you can just tell, she's genuine and wants to connect with fans and let them see the real Katee behind the lens, and it highly entertaining. It's a lesson in not just how, but WHO as well that makes the difference....
Agreed! I really thought that Brie might have seen how well liked Katee is and tried to copy her UA-cam show thinking it would work as well for her, or some agent or studio exec convinced her to do so? I only watched part of a couple of Brie's episodes but they seemed really forced and unnatural to me, where Katee comes across as someone that is naturally fun and sincere that you'd like to hang out with as friends. (at least I would! 🥰😊)
Katee Sackhoff's channel is only active once a month. She doesn't have an active channel. Her videos are more personal and genuine. With the actor's strike, I'd think she'd upload more.
Marvel has been trying hard to make captain marvel work in the comic books for years to basically no success, it was weird right from get go that they tried to make her work on the big screen
The backlash wasn't because of the role it was because Larson went full man hater mode in her statements. She is the toxic ones, not the fans she lambasted because of their gender.
I don't think the problem is Brie Larson, I think the problem is Marvel. They are Disney, people seem to forget that. Disney's feminist woke agenda is what sprung an unlikeable female character. They didn't come to that while doing the Avenger's saga, but now Disney is finally doing their thing. And like She-Hulk and an infinite amount of other bad stuff, Captain Marvel is no exception.
In my theater for Endgame, packed crowd, very involved crowd, laughing and cheering. When CM showed up to save Tony, not a sound came from the audience. Then when she showed up at the end to destroy the flagship, one guy sheepishly went “woo.”
It would be nice to feel bad for her because she is a very talented actress, but as we’ve learned over the last decade, a lot of really talented actors and actresses are really horrible people off camera. Let Brie be a cautionary tale to young performers that people just want to see your work, not hear your opinions.
I remember when they did the interview with Brie and the other Marvel stars, and she came off extremely poorly in comparison to the rest of the cast. With the comparison of her being the next Tom Cruise, and responding with the, "I'm going to be the next me, thank you VERY much." Like, where does she get off even comparing herself or thinking she's better than Tom Cruise? He's the highest paid actor in Hollywood for more than a decade for a reason, he does all his own stunts and that brings a layer of extra tension when you know that's really him doing it, along with his ability to act. - You haven't earned your accolades Brie, turn the vainglorious attitude down from 15 to 2 please.
3:39 This is wrong, ensemble cast doesn't imply the last movie, or character failed, look at Civil War. The actual difference is that they changed the title. Captian America Civil War vs The Marvels, and not Captisn Marvel 2². Them abandoning the Captian Marvel name, is what shows it failed.
Brie Larson is that woman who has made her career on pretty privilege and doesn't get why people don't like her when she berates them. RDJ is a person who got his start from his father, and in his early years had some impulse control issues and got into real trouble over it. He's learned from those consequences. He gets to have that confidence because he knows he's got the charm and looks, but always remembers life, the law and addiction, smacking him accross the face. And he's got a family, so he has more than himself to think about. Brie needs to learn those genuine lessons. She needs something outside of herself to be good for. Until she gains some kind of real purpose and humility she's going to be problematic.
Brie was a failed experiment, she was the first one to go heavy on the whole me too man hate you can see that was put on both on her movie and her interviews. The backlash was unpredictable (by the execs, anyone with a sane brain could see that marvel was mostly a male fanbase) so it lead to her project of next face of the MCU being cut off, starting the whole derrail of the MCU
I doubt she planned for this to happened. The Disney handler hypothesis makes more sense. She probably changed agents/handlers when she got a wif that her career might tank. She needs to take a break and only do arthouse films to break off the stink. I actually feel sorry for her.
So you’re not acknowledging how she treated people and tried to make men feel bad just for being male? Don’t feel bad for her that’s ridiculous. She’s a multimillionaire actress. Which in reality is a high paid prostitute
It's been eight years since I've set foot in a cinema. Every movie release has been worth waiting for DVD or streaming. nothing has excited me enough to buy a ticket. I'm a simple man, a common man it shouldn't take that much to get me excited, and yet the studios haven't been able to move me, and I don't think they ever will.
You are far more charitable for Larson than I would be/am. I'm a fan of the Maya Angelou quote: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
MCU Phases 4 and 5 are just a bunch of random convoluted side quests after completing the main campaign.
At least skyrim radiant quests arent as tedious as MCU
And it's like a worse Fallout 3, where the writers didn't plan to have you survive the ending, so there's a lot of handwaving and little meaningful interaction with the storyline.
@HowToChangeName "congrats, dragonborn... now go collect 24 rocks for the theve's guild."
These are the type of honest and hilarious comments that keep me coming back to the comment section, bravo 👏 🤣
The next Marvel movie is about looking for a lost cow while armed with end game gear.
Considering they had to have Thor actually say “I like this one” to try and convince us, it was never going to happen.
it's interesting because if they'd actually built that up and went somewhere with that, there's a way it could've worked. Like he never worked out with Jane Foster because they were too different, but in Carol he finds an equal. For her, Thor could be the first man outside Fury who acknowledges her strength of might and spirit and doesn't discount her for her gender
Don't know or care if it'd be comic accurate but they could have become the Stark/Pepper power couple of the second generation of Avengers. But that'd require the Marvel writers room to have an ounce of respect for Thor as a character and a willingness to make Carol vulnerable and relatable. Fat chance in this age
@TS6815 yeah, I think that would have been the way to go if you aren't going to be accurate to the lore to begin with. For sure.
@@TS6815true... I could see Thor/Cpt. Marvel in a kinda cold & distante but romantic relationship. Something the writers should have tried... but they came up with the Thor 4 storyline instead 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@Raymaster7482 I think you mean Thor 4. 3 came out before Infinity War.
@@TS6815 exactly. Instead its just completely superficial writing. Thor says it for no reason, motivated by nothing, with no justification. It comes out of nowhere.
Tony also says something similar earlier in that same scene. But its sort of under his breath as hes ranting at cap. So it's easy to miss.
At least for him it make some sense because she saved his life. But even that is coincidental. She just shows up. She isnt shown putting in any work to try to find him. She just has ultimate powers and because she has those powers shes able to just find them. So it doesnt feel earnt as of we saw he show up on earth, do some investigating, go to the titan homeworld, spend time trying to find hem, interspliced with the scenes of tony and nebula on the ship.
And its especially awkward because none of these character really compliment each other in this way at all in amy other movies. Most of the time theyre conflicted against each other and dissagreeing all the time. Then suddenly two do it in one scene about the same character.
It was so blatant.
To treat people like garbage and then expect them to support you is pure narcissism. Unfortunately, narcissism is rampant in this world nowadays.
Mixed with sadism.
She would make the perfect politician.
It's a job requirement to be an actor. They're all pretty messed up in the head.
I wouldn't even say it's narcissistic. I'd say it's just straight cognitive dissonance or delusion
Does she treat people like garbage though
I recently watched the Infinity Saga with my wife. It was her first time.
She has loved almost all of the movies and characters. We skipped Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Ant-man since those movies and characters didn't play a major role in the last Avengers movies, but we are watching Ant-man and Black Panther now.
When we watched End Game and Captain Marvel came on screen to save Tony and then flew him back to earth she was a little shocked and curious. Then Captain Marvel opened her mouth and disrespected the other Avengers and claimed she had protected thousands of worlds single-handedly. And that curiosity turned to anger with my wife saying, "who the f*** does this bitch think she is?"
Then Thor dropped his, "I like this one" line and she balked, "Why?!"
My wife has loved all of the female characters in the infinity saga, but Captain Marvel was so unlikable that the only reason she continued End Game was because I told her that she only appeared in 10% of the movie. And yes, she hated the fact that Captain Marvel almost single handedly stopped Thanos. It was unearned.
Ant man and black panther did kind of play a huge role in those endgame movies but.
Not that I care.
The technology created in those movies played a big role in the outcome.
What’s crazy to me is that they rushed Captain Marvel movie when they had been planning to use the spot her movie was in for a Nova movie. Apparently we were going to see the destruction of the nova planet that was in GotG1 and see one Nova remaining. Making End Game his revenge story and he would’ve been the one to destroy the ship instead.
@@jaimeruiz7837 Stop writing better characters and plot lines.
@@vanillabro46not hard to achieve honestly, the bar is low enough.
The Thor line does make sense. Thor values strength and confidence, and arrogance.
Thor is a better character than Captain Marvel, but he would see a reflection of himself in her, as he is confident, arrogant and frankly quite the narcissist.
Just a quick lesson I learned as filmmaker early on:
With casting actors I learned that they’ll say whatever to get the part and to keep the part once they have it. When I was still in college and casting for my senior film, when I first began having casting reads, I provided a an irrelevant shit script. I wrote something nebulous and stupid. After each reading I asked the actors how they felt about it and damn near everyone of them made up some bullshit about what it meant and said that it was brilliant. Only one actor didn’t and even though she didn’t get the part, I brought her on as a script supervisor. Ultimately you shouldn’t trust what an actor says, whether theyre at the bottom or top of their game. It’s almost always just shit.
its a zero sum game right? or are they volunteering? its not like they are going to give it away for free or they would be president of the studio themselves. actors should be writers and writers should be actors. and the reader? the audience? should be no one.
The only reason the first Captain Marvel was such a massive box office hit, was because it came out right before Avengers Endgame and it was heavily implied by Marvel that you had to watch the Captain Marvel film before Endgame for continuity.
If they had not tricked audiences, the movie would have not made as much money.
And the tickets bought that nobody turned up to use?
It wasn't a billion dollar movie even with Endgame's help!
They can't afford to do that now can they?
@@Darkwintre I was stupidly there opening day. 10% occupied in that almost empty theater.

The thing is, Brie was actually perfect casting because Carol Danvers is a toxic person in the comics as well. The movie actually toned down how unlikeable her character is.
Exactly!
Beyond the messy plot, Civil War II was unbearable in large part to her character.
I'd have gone for a bloke. The terrible art in the comics has strongly suggested Captain Marvel is transgender, hence 'Carl Manvers'.
My favourites were the pig nose phase and when they drew her as Silent Bob.
Explains why the comics failed, Civil War was just unbearable with her front and center.
Captain Marvel is a horrible character.
She wasn't always horrible though, back when she was called Miss Marvel.
Miss Marvel was not a terrible character at all but not one to shoulder a franchise on versus being in Avengers or something like that.
She slags off “40 year old white men” then calls THEM toxic!?
The rules are different for wamens!
She's 34 herself....so what's the point of saying that ? She's delusional .
She's about to smash the 🧱 herself, and what a glorious day it will be 🤣🤣🤣
Basically girl attitude double standard. When men do it is toxic. But when women do it its empowerment
Thats today's narcissistic lefties for you. Hating me makes you nasty and toxic because I'm a victim but it's ok for me to hate whoever I decide is my target and I'll hate you if you don't hate them with me
I do feel a bit bad for her, since her toxic behavior mostly comes from her being a very insecure person. She probably thought that being in the MCU would be great for her character, as its been for most of the actresses who have appeared in it. I know she was very happy about being cast as Captain Marvel, I remember her saying that she was really exited about having been given the chance to inspire young girls. Then to receive this amount of flak (and from some people; hate and harassment) would be thought for anyone, now imagine how it must be for someone who's extremely insecure.
The stupid things that she said is obviously her own fault, but the embarrassing pro-feminism "we need to stand up against bad men" way that the movie tried to do female empowerment and the way the media hijacked the film to push politics, and the anti-woke community taking the bait, is not her fault. Brie is (to a large extent) a victim of the culture war, as both sides used her to push their agenda, she wouldn't be nearly as hated if they hadn't. This is another reason for why I feel bad for her. As someone who struggles a lot with insecurities myself (but handles it in a much better way than Brie Larson), I want her to overcome her insecurities and become a better person, and all this online hatred is only gonna make that harder for her to do.
Whenever other actresses (like Jennifer Lawrence) has said stupid shit, it been forgotten about after a while, because it wasn't hijacked by the culture war in the same way. Brie not playing the Captain Marvel character anymore would probably be for the better, but I'm not sure that she would be able to accept that playing Captain Marvel was a failure for her.
It's hard to engage the audience when the actor is openly antagonistic, and the character has nothing to latch onto other than "she's the strongest"...
I have no sympathy for Brie. I *would* have sympathy if she was a nice person and just got cast as a badly written and unlikable protagonist (like Hayden Christensen was unfairly blamed for how bad Anakin was), but she showed utter contempt for the genre's target audience with toxic comments that were both baseless and uncalled for.
You take that back, Anakin was a great character with some slightly cringe dialog.
have you seen her in the show community? its proof she can play a nice likeable character. also Disney needs to learn to listen to REAL fans
Daisy Ridley probably a better example
Yes, and this is just her adopting the role of the victim once again and blaming everybody and everything except herself.
Hayden Christensen must be protected at all costs.
What a surprise always blame the fans, calling them 'toxic' is sure to fill those cinema seats!
Having followed the MCU since the beginning and some of the news about the actors/actresses I do remember that Brie was supposed to be the next Iron Man. In the original MCU I would argue it was largely focused around Iron Man and Captian America. She certainly signed up to be the leader after end game, and probably didn't realize that she could destroy the role so easily with one comment. I think if you go back in time and stop her from saying the comment about men, people don't look into the body language of people around her, they maybe brush off the tom cruise comment etc etc.
It started with the first comment and snowballed because she didn't come out and just apologized to the fans. That comment also made it obvious that there was a shift in the stories, not because it made sense, to push the agenda. It really is the start of everything tanking.
Her movie could have been developed longer.
Compare it to Capitan America (1st one). Small framed man, eveyone pities him, looks down on him and doubts him. Instead of shamung them or ranting, the character is given immense power and proves he's a good person, a hero, by what he does with that gift.
Capatain marvel: 😐
Everyone: "STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL"
Didnt make any sense.
Did you see "Room"? She was brilliant in it. She can act, but the Captain Marvel film and her public comments derailed everything.
The Captain Marvel thing was fumbled by everyone involved:
-First Brie Larson who had kind of a girl next door persona came out like a bitter college feminist who has the dumbest opinions you ever met. Just seething angry if you had a different opinion of her and generally unlikable.
-Then they introduce this new character as the most powerful avenger 1 month before the finale that took 10 years to build up.
-Then Marvel just starts attacking their fans who don't like her calling them all misogynists.
-Then the Captain Marvel movie itself sucks and was so clearly an orchestrated cash grab by implying you wouldn't understand the final chapter of the most interesting and fun storyline in movies in maybe 30 years if you didn't see it.
Everything here turns fans against the franchise and they managed to do it all in a matter of months.
I’ll be honest I wasn’t really following MCU/movie news when captain marvel came out. I just remember seeing Captain Marvel and hating it. Was was this “first comment” that everyone is talking about?
For me there was absolutely no reason introducing Cpt Marvel when we should have gotten a Black Widow spy thriller, considering what happened to BW in End Game!
She slags off “40 year old white men” then calls THEM toxic!?@@patricklewis9787
Brie Larson's Captain Marvel sequel is a huge flop losing 237 million, the worst flop ever for Disney.
Disney is stunned after less than 40% of women bought tickets to The Marvels a clear sign something is terribly wrong with MCU.
Captain Karen gives Disney their biggest MCU flop ever🤭
I always say this with my friends when she comes up in conversation. I blame the writers for not liking Captain Marvel, and I blame Brie Larson for not liking Brie Larson.
I don’t need to like the actor to enjoy the on-screen character, but if you come off wrong in interviews, that’s on you.
I think on of the primary differences between RDJ and BREEE is their sense of 'grace'. RDJ screwed things up and knows it, but he got a chance he maybe didn't deserve so now he's just happy to have fans at all. BREEE sees things from almost the opposite point of view: she's (falsely) convinced she deserved vastly more than she's gotten, and is very upset with all of us and the universe as a whole for not bringing it all to her.
Can you imagine Emily Blunt or Katee sackoff in that role? Even as terribly written as the character was, either one of them would have at least been able to pull off the “tough but vulnerable” thing they were trying to go for. Either one of them would have been far more likeable. But no, they went with Brie
Emily Blunt probably already rejected it... she doesn't like one dimensional Mary Sue
i would personally liked if katee sackhoff do that role.
I think they would have been more likable, but the role was still terrible. Just horribly directed and they had no idea what they were doing with the character.
Natalie Dormer would have been perfect for the role, she looks the part, she's an actually decent actor, and she's absolutely gorgeous
Nah, wouldn't make any difference. The Marvel writers clearly don't know what to do with the Captain Marvel character. That tough but vulnerable it's the writer's thing, any actress played the role but with same shitty script wouldn't make any difference. It's still a terrible role 🤷
On one hand you have someone like Brie and on the other you have someone like Cavil.
One feels like the audience owes her while the other is just so passionate in playing the character that it is oozing out of him.
I think you've somewhat hit the nail on the head there.
Hollywood's big issue at the moment is that they are dead set on pushing the actors to show this image that IT want's people to accept when in actual fact, what makes a movie star likable is their ability to make us believe in and appreciate the characters that they portray on film and then when they do a good job, not let it go to their heads when it goes wrong.
Using Cavil as an example, not all of his movies have been brilliant, there are a couple of stinkers out there however, despite that he hasn't lashed out at movie goers as them being the issue and so doesn't go after them. He takes it on the chin and carries on because he just does his best to provide as good a performance as he can fitting to that character (and many would say that even if the movie he's in turns out bad, he's still the best part of that movie as a result of that and will continue to watch his movies) and that's what people like about him, his commitment to tell a good story through his character.
Larson and many people like her, on the other hand, rather than showing humility in their work, place the blame at the feet of the movie goers when their movie doesn't pan out. Essentially attacking the people who pay her salary or at least enable her to command her salary with movie studios, something they somehow lose site of repeatedly, then wonder why no one likes them and stop going to see anything they're involved in.
You can say the same about Scarlett J, and quite a few others as well. By and large, the Marvel ensemble has been made up of extremely likable, game performers, which makes her failure in that regard that much more distracting.
Press play on the Count Dankula, "Oh no" clip.
I actually like Brie Larson as a actress but I just think they’ve given her good material on the projects she’s been in, I mean they could’ve given any actress that role and it still would’ve fell flat.

The Captain marvel movie should have been released in phase four.
The movie between Infinity War and End Game should have been the Black Widow Hawkeye story.
Agree but the black widow movie needed to be better too
@@77Treasurehunter77 They needed to make an actual Black Widow and Hawkeye movie. With them both being spies and some intrigue. Maybe starting on opposite sides and becoming uneasy allies. Something like that.

I was a big Marvel Comics fan when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. My favorite was Iron Man and I was so enthralled with the "Demon in a Bottle" story arc. It humanized a guy that was supposed to have everything; brains, money, women, etc. Can you imagine Disney doing something like that with one of it's female characters? I see this as their issue, none of the female characters have flaws to work through. They don't grow as a character. They could, Fox did it with the female characters in their X-Men movies.
Exactly. Female characters aren't the problem. The problem is that they aren't writing *good* female characters. Which is especially sad when you realize that characters like She Hulk were actually quite charming in the comics (imo), but are just plain insufferable in the MCU.
@@rocknatex5013She-hulk in the comics was funny. And she was different from Hulk, she wasn't as strong or tough, but she was smart, which gave her a different kind of edge. Now on Disney, she is just BETTER. And for no reason, no training, no development, no experience, and no reason for being better.
My first issue of Iron Man was #97. 'Demon in a Bottle' was awesome. That whole period with Layton etc was peak Iron Man, IMO.
Yes! 1980s Iron Man was fantastic!
@@rocknatex5013 *Twerking intensifies*

What’s interesting is that people were completely on board with having more Marvel movies after endgame
Just look at far from home
The issue was that we wanted more stories but the studio couldn’t think of any good ones even though they have a library of comics to go off of, identity politics was their priority, but it wasn’t ours
Thanos wasn't even the best multi arc Avenger storyline in comics. There was the Skull/Kree war, The Michael Saga, Kang Dynasty, Secret Wars and Civil War. They only touched on Civil War which could have been good for a few years.
@@blacksnk I mean, yeah. But as of right now, they've already fumbled the Skrull plotlines and Kang. I would've loved to have seen Planet Hulk and Worldbreaker Hulk, but they've even screwed *that* up already with Thor Ragnarok and smart Hulk.
I promise after Endgame when Feige said, "we have stories for the next 10 years." I was genuinely overjoyed. I thought about X-MEN, I thought about finally getting a good Fantastic Four movie, who will play Doctor Doom, etc. To get this and get told you're a bad person for not liking it sucks.
My main issue has been escalation.
Every movie has to have some world-ending cataclysm. Each is equivalent to Luke starting _A New Hope_ on Tatooine, and by the end of the movie he's killed the Emperor. Where do you take the story now?
How does Shang-Chi grow as a character now that he's defeated an inter-dimensional soul eater?
How does nobody talk about the giant alien body jutting out of the planet that absolutely has altered the interior structure?
Why is Kang so dangerous when arguably the two most powerful versions have both been defeated relatively easily?
@@rocknatex5013 They had the perfect in with Planet Hulk in She-Hulk, but they played it for a joke and it was a serious missed opportunity!
I honestly was surprised she even went back to the Captain Marvel role in the first place. She knew everyone hated her in the first film, and seemed to be happy enough to be out of Hollywood instead doing her own channel and podcast.
Because she like Megan Markle discovered that she's not actually likeable, interesting, or motivated enough to be a successful podcaster or youtuber.
Then she remembered she's a spoiled valley girl and used industry contacts to start doing movies and commercials again instead.
I think she was contractually locked in for at least the sequel.

The change in Brie's (perceived) character that Baggage Claim talked about reminded me of something Gwyneth Paltrow once told: when her "star started to rise", her dad (Bruce Paltrow) took her to the side and told her "You know, you're turning into a bit of an asshole". And she (or someone else, but I think it was Gwyneth in the same interview) also said that the weird thing with fame and success if that at some point, at some level of success, you start having people who remove problems and obstacles in your life.
Well yeah...when you hit it big you're a cash cow for a lot of different people (agent, studio, family etc).
I'd argue it's more difficult to stay yourself in that situation then to become an unlikable dick
It's why having normal friends and family is important. We need people who'll kindly call us on our bullshit.
Yeah I actually liked her in some of her other roles. Even in the Amy Schumer movie.
"Fame is like a drug; like heroine or checking your e-mail. Once you have a taste, you'll do anything to get more." - Melvin 'Sideshow Mel' Van Horne, The Simpsons
Note how Robert Downey Jr. went against the grain in regards to Mel Gibson. He knows he's had too many public failings to be anything but grateful for all chances he's gotten. He understands forgiveness.
Carol Danvers, Nick Fury, Captain Mar-Vell, the Kree Empire and the Skrulls and their Secret Invasion are all better handled by Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated show.
Kang got better handled in that cartoon as well.
That isnt exactly a high bar to jump
That really isn't saying much. Plus, do you really think most MCU fans watch animated content?
The same can be said for DC and the DCAMU.
I think Baggage Claim (sorry, don't know her name) is correct. Brie let the role go to her head and has now learned the hard way, that attacking the hand that feeds (all of us) is the worst decision any actor/actress could make. I don't believe it's going to get any better for her if she leaves either.
Same with Rachel Zeglrr. She's going to fall fast before she even gets any real time in movies.
There was a movie that I wanted to see, but none of my friends ever saw it. I usually don't like seeing a movie alone. I decided to make an exception. It had been out a while, but I still saw posters for the film, when I had visited the theater not long ago. HOWEVER, when I decided to look online, to see times and showings, I noticed that every theater was showing Captain Marvel. I tried checking other cinemas, and it was the same case - even for farther away cinemas. Every theater in every cinema was showing Captain Marvel. I had heard stories, but I didn't believe it, until I saw it myself. The movie I wanted to see (on another page) wasn't due to be removed, until the following week, but there was no way to see it. Maybe, the Captain Marvel did well, but there were some unusual circumstances working in its favor.
I remember it was reported that Timothy Chalamet said that a fellow well known actor told him to avoid superhero films like the plague. In fact, actors are now going out their way to not do superhero films because their momentum killers for actors on the rise. The character you're playing will always be more famous than yourself.
....True. But Money talks....
I remember Chris Evans had a pretty good performance in "Street Kings" with Keanu Reeves. Was basically a movie about dirty cops who are isolated to a squad that handles the nastiest crimes.
IMO, it's an underrated movie, but either way, Evans was pretty solid. Probably gonna be difficult to shed the Captain America image right away. Then again, Matthew McConaughey made his money doing rom-coms and then went on to do some pretty cool movies. 2 for the Money, The Lincoln Lawyer, True Detective, Mud.... and lest we forget his role in Tropic Thunder.
I don't think that's true. When people see Robert Downey JR, he is Iron Man and Chris Evans is Captain America. No other actor will ever be more famous than them in those roles; at the very least it would take a monumentally phenomenal performance to do so.
That may have been true back in the 70s and such with the dinner Superman movies but it's not really true today. Most of the big names in the MCU have successful projects outside of their superhero roles. Ranging from high budget TV series to Netflix movies to other Hollywood theatrical releases.
Getting type cast to a specific character doesn't happen much anymore.
The only superhero Chalamet could play is Stick Boy
I remember watching the first Ironman movie with my dad when it came out. After only 20 mins my dad turned to me and said: “Robert Downey Jr isn’t acting . This is legit his personality.” Even back then RDJ felt like he was being himself and not fake like Brie Larson.
I find Brie cheesy!

It's probably to her advantage for her to say she's disillusioned with the character and hint that she wants to move on away from it. If the new movie tanks, she can say that she's just as happy to concentrate on other roles. If it's a big-enough success, she can say that the big success convinced her to do a third movie. But getting past that cynical possibility, I do think she's painted herself into a corner that she regrets. I feel kinda bad for her. Not exactly "sorry for her", but I hope that she has some future roles which are more successful than the ones she's had in the Marvel universe.
I'd say that Robert Downey Jr may have an air of arrogance, but it's an attitude of "I'm Great!" and not "You people suck". I think we'd all like to feel as confident in ourselves as RD seems to be, but we also don't want to turn into someone who despises large groups of people.
Whoever came up with the term M.She.U is genius.
I keep hearing about the toxic people bringing down the movie. I think that is just B.S. If the first movie brought in billions, it's because everyone went to see the movie. But if you push certain agenda then the fan will get disillusioned. They bought a ticket to a superhero movie not an agenda.
The thing is the first movie brought in billions because the fans cared about the captain marvel being a superhero and not her being a woman. They keep pushing that the fans are toxic, sexist and prejudiced. If that would have been the case then the first movie would also have flopped but it didn't. People did not see iron man because he is a man. They are fan of his abilities.
If the corpos at Hollywood can't comprehend it. The question remains. Should they be running things?
Marvel only offered Brie the role because she just won the Best Actress Oscar for "Room" and thought they could capitalize on that heat. They overlooked the fact that the face of a potential multi-billion dollar franchise has to actually be likeable to earn repeat business.
Best Actress ? I had no idea... she's a boring actress, why ?
@@atomtension5645she’s fantastic in Room and was worthy of that nomination at the very least, regardless of her personal attitude
@@atomtension5645 Regardless what you think about her right now, she deserved her Oscar win for her fantastic career best performance in Room. If you seen the movie, you can't deny that she did a terrific job in Room. When she's given the right material, she shines there
@@Erasureeraser There's a difference between technical acting skill and showing emotion and fun charisma that you need to carry a superhero/adventure/thriller movie.
... I completely forgot she was in that and how good her performance was. Crazy how she overshadowed all her past achievements with her Captain Marvel crap.
Brie Larson in Scott Pilgrim was amazing. Her cover of Black Sheep was honestly near perfect. She used to be well liked by the general audience. And she definitely CAN sing very well.
that was her??? damn, what a fall from grace.
I honestly think Brie Larson doesn't believe in what she is saying, Hollywood is a different game compared to our lifestyles.
She was charming on Community as well.
This was the first and last time I liked seeing cheese lady on-screen.
Yeah, Brie isn't the only actress who played very well in SPvTW, and look what happened to them. ME Winstead now plays Hera Syndulla and Alison Pill had to play Annoying Lady in Star Trek: Picard. A generation of talented actresses is being burnt up by writers who believe an agenda must be pushed, but the outcome is the exact opposite of they intended. Turns out bad writers are even worse social engineers.
Baggage Claim is truly a fantastic addition to this team. Chris Gore is always great and so is The Drinker of course. They're all good. Quite a team they got on this channel, imo.
As someone who was completely put off by her interview persona but also thought the movie was kind of mid... why would you walk away from this role? Even if the movies are terrible, sign in, collect your paycheck and go home. Ignore the internet and it all goes away... and if anyone complains just say hey... i didn't write the story. boom. You're done.
Fully intended to wait on what all you guys had to say about Captain Marvel when it premiered prior to Endgame. Once you all said that the movie added virtually nothing significant to the Infinity saga, the over powered character, the “all men are bad” attitude, and her subsequent horrendous public statements, I made the decision to not waste money and time on it. Thanks for what you do… you guys ROCK!
That's a nice way to say she got fired.
Interesting to hear the group empathize for once instead of just roast. Good points too
Anyone remember when Rhonda Rousey was the fancast top pick for Captain Marvel? It's almost like you need a real "School of Hard-knocks" type to play the role up.
Brie is actually a good actress who made an ill-advised grab for superstardom as Captain Marvel. Brie shone in films such as Room and The Glass Castle, and I'm sure she now wishes she'd stuck with that type of film (naturalistic) and stayed away from the comic book films. She's young yet and there's time for her to get back on track.
She only got into the role to do her activism, she quickly realized no one wanted to hear it thats why shes disillusioned.
The loss of Chadwick, as sad as might be for many people, isn't at the same level in the franchise as RDJ, Chris Evans and Scarlett leaving the MCU. Not by a huge margin. Only added for racial points, wich is disgusting.
I kinda thought the same thing. Black Panther wasn't really a huge part of these movies. He was best in Civil War and his own movie wasn't even very good. He's certainly not the person I think of when I think of Marvel movies. The movie got nominated for Best Picture for very obvious reasons. It wasn't the even close to the best picture that year and it's nowhere near even the best Marvel movies. Winter Soldier craps all over that jungle movie.
It's really because the writing and stories have gotten weak. Since Endgame and the big guys leaving(RDJ and Chris) it just isn't the same.
The only reason why the first Captain Marvel movie was a huge success was because it preceded End Game, although it's debatable that CM1 was a success because if I can remember correctly there were cinemas with "Ghost Seating", where there were a lot of booked seats that didn't have anyone seated in them. It's possible that many of these were pre-booked seats that ended up not showing up after the "toxic 40 year olds" video materialised but couldn't get a refund, but it could be possible that Disney faked the movie's box office numbers.
If 'Catpain Marvel' was REALLY as successful as Disney claimed it was, why didn't they used the Endgame cut where she was featured hugely instead of the Endgame cut where she barely appeared at all? If it was REALLY as successful as Disney claimed, why didn't they rush out her sequel as the 'face of the next phase' like they said they were going to do? NONE of that makes sense unless they KNEW she was wildly unpopular and they LIED about it...
@@HerculesBallsInc Well, it doesn't surprise me, Disney lied about the Snow White remake's photos with the non-dwarfs being fake, only for it to actually be true, and they lied about The Little Mermaid remake's budget, which was actually far more than what they originally reported, which means that movie was a huge box office flop. Honestly, it boggles my mind that TLM remake actually has loads of cringe fan, and yet it still flopped like the rotten fish it is.
@@diomedes7971 Yep, this whole thing with Brie Larson becoming the main face of the MCU is a complete joke! She's a manufactured star with a toxic attitude that the majority of fans don't like!
Captain Marvel success is not due to Brie Larson but in spite of her. We were enjoying the MCU and Avengers ending and in spite of her interviews, we still watched it.
Compare that with all the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Panther movies. They all gave awesome interviews.
And Brie Larson is disillusioned? Why doesn't she take a look at herself and change herself? These female empowerment actresses like Brie and Rachel Ziegler. Weird? Weird? Huh? It's Hollywood, baby.
She can blame all the criticism and hurtful words all she wants but it was all caused by her own attitude. No movie was made because no one would watch them. Even then, in order to fulfill the contractual obligation of a second movie, they had to dilute her role.
What I found most interesting was the part of the discussion about who Brie actually is. And the one thing that kept popping into my head is that - I don't think she even knows. She molds herself (or at least attempts to) into whatever persona she feels is going to make her the most popular, or likeable, or successful, or whatever. In other words, there is no *real* Brie. It's always been an affectation, a role, designed to achieve an end. But if you were to sit down and try to see what's really underneath, the reality is that there probably isn't much of anything. Just an empty shell of a human waiting to be filled with the next performance.
If it had only been her playing a character that was written in a very unflattering way, I could've understood.
You're paid to act the role, if the director and writers cast your character into a bad light, there's nothing to be done.
The problem here is that she enthusiastically participated in bashing the fans and throwing shade at anyone who didn't like how the character and some scenes in the first movie were written and cut.
You can't pee on someone's leg and then complain when they don't view you in a favourable light afterwards.
I’m embarrassed how excited I am about Critical Drinker, Mauler, and Mr H all together in one place. Another stone added to the Critical Gauntlet
"The Critical Gauntlet" 😂
I don't know, I always feel that personality of Brie's was always there but her and her agent/management were smart to keep it in line as she hadn't cemented herself as a star yet. Once she got her Oscar for Room at 26, and then got the Marvel role. She knew she made it. So she didn't need to play the nice humble person anymore. The opposite to Rachel Zegler who hasn't cemented herself but has burned many bridges for herself with her recent behaviour. At least Brie was somewhat smart and kept that horrible man hating side of herself to she cemented the fame thing.
She's a good actress if given the right material. For me, she's not a top tier A List actress type. She's more a leading Indie actress, who might knock out a award worthy performance here and there. But she's not someone you want leading a franchise or a big blockbuster, just cause she's not a likeable performer and that goes a long way in Hollywood. Hugh Jackman is great cause he can do tons of interviews and chat shows and charm you into the cinema. Brie can't do that.
There are quite a few actresses who play the 'golly I'm so lucky' role as new people and then a year or two later the mask drops and they're complete egomaniacs. BREEE was neither the first nor the last, sadly.
People not likening Larson has everything to do with her as a person, not the movies. Not saying she’s a bad person, but her arrogant interviews, and angst against men and what not….she’s kinda unbearable
Let's not forget how she is with her co stars during interviews, it's like they can't stand being in the same room when doing press junkets
*Brie leaving Marvel*
Everybody:
"Oh No!.. Anyway" 😂
The "Wrinkle in Time" comment bugs me because it's a pet peeve of mine that people do that sort of thing to divert criticism. You see it all the time in sports where athletes use the, "You never played, so you can't criticize me." defense.
The idea that someone from the outside can't observe and learn a subject and make an informed critique is absurd. You don't need to be a writer to recognize good or bad dialog. You don't need to be an actor to recognize a good performance from a bad one. Sure, there's nuance and things you may not aware of, but the product is the product.
It's really just a form of quelling dissent. Would you ever tell someone they can't criticize their leaders because they've never been President/Senator/Congressman? Those are hard jobs. I'd never want to do them. I'd be terrible at it. It doesn't mean I can't say when I think someone did a bad job.
She was humiliated. She’s now third on the current totem pole. Good riddance.
It's not like Ms. Larson has had any other notable roles and given her lack of acting ability I doubt this choice will have any impact her future irrelevancy.
I’ve played midnight suns( surprisingly I really enjoyed it… though I understand it’s not everyone’s game) you have chances to interact with multitude of hero’s Carol being one of them. When I first saw her I was like crap she’s in this. To my dismay I actually like that version. She’s lively, charming, sure of herself which is fine if you have other charming qualities. Confidence is fine until arrogance. Combat wise she’s of course powerful so having her in combat is nice. Blade having a crush on her is actually funny and charming…. They needed most of that in her cinema appearances.
I always felt that if they were going to cast someone from Community with "Brie" in her name as Captain Marvel, they should have gone with Alison Brie. Almost every other main Community actor is in the MCU lol.
One of the differences between Brie Larson and RDJ is that she made the concious decision to step into some controversial topics. RDJ made the concious decision to STAY OUT of controversial topics. And to be fair, wanting greater diversity in the FIlm Review industry should not be that controversial. It is unfortunate that the messenger became more important than the message.
It is considering real life implications of how these groups actually interact with each other. Believe me when I tell you that these “representation” folks are *very* racist people, they can’t stand working directly under white people
"And to be fair, wanting greater diversity in the FIlm Review industry should not be that controversial." -- I agree. But as Red Letter Media pointed out, it's like the least important thing in the whole world to care about. It's also not obvious it's a real problem at all - are there really people trying to get into film reviewing and unable to do so because the "Film Review industry" won't let them? I mean, does the "Film Review industry" even exist at a thing at all?
If you asked feminists what they thought were the most important issues to address in society, I am confident that "more women being paid to write film reviews" would appear a long way down the list. It's not exactly a high status or well paid job.
Always a pleasure when Chris Gore is part of the podcast
And Baggage Claim. She's a treasure.
Used to watch him on Attack of the Show, back in 2006 or so.
Why anyone thinks Hollywood is a place to take morals from is beyond me.
Why on Earth would she be "illusioned" in the first place given the hacks at the helm ? What did she expect from simpleminded zealots ?
+1 for Baggage Claim. She nailed the Brie Larson heel turn after the Oscar.
I love how Mr H laughed when Drinker said "the first movie was a huge success" 😂
Chris is right about Brie being an empty shell. She seems almost narcissistic in her emptiness.
when they mentioned "room" i kept thinking about "the room" starring tommy wiseau, and having brie larson in the lisa role, even thought she was about 18 when they filmed it
so basically we need a remake of the room with brie larson as lisa
Baggage Claim nailed it.
Its the arrogance.
Brie comes across like her arrogant horribly written Capt Marvel character.
Arrogance soaked in Arrogant, hence why no matter how much money that film made its not beloved and the character is not wanted.
Its also why Rachel Zegler is massively disliked.
She also drips of arrogance.
Katee Sackhoff has a great UA-cam channel. And you can just tell, she's genuine and wants to connect with fans and let them see the real Katee behind the lens, and it highly entertaining. It's a lesson in not just how, but WHO as well that makes the difference....
Agreed! I really thought that Brie might have seen how well liked Katee is and tried to copy her UA-cam show thinking it would work as well for her, or some agent or studio exec convinced her to do so? I only watched part of a couple of Brie's episodes but they seemed really forced and unnatural to me, where Katee comes across as someone that is naturally fun and sincere that you'd like to hang out with as friends. (at least I would! 🥰😊)
Katee Sackhoff's channel is only active once a month. She doesn't have an active channel.
Her videos are more personal and genuine. With the actor's strike, I'd think she'd upload more.
Marvel has been trying hard to make captain marvel work in the comic books for years to basically no success, it was weird right from get go that they tried to make her work on the big screen
The backlash wasn't because of the role it was because Larson went full man hater mode in her statements. She is the toxic ones, not the fans she lambasted because of their gender.
I don't think the problem is Brie Larson, I think the problem is Marvel. They are Disney, people seem to forget that. Disney's feminist woke agenda is what sprung an unlikeable female character. They didn't come to that while doing the Avenger's saga, but now Disney is finally doing their thing. And like She-Hulk and an infinite amount of other bad stuff, Captain Marvel is no exception.
Such a shame Katie Sackoff never got chosen as Captain Marvel.
She's too old for it now, but she would have been perfect.
Bring back the Critical Doggo
Brie was amazing in Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Too bad her ego got in the way.
The Netflix animated series is promising: graphics from the comic books and voice cast of the movie 🙂
.. and nothing of value is lost
You guys should link the full videos so we can watch them.
In my theater for Endgame, packed crowd, very involved crowd, laughing and cheering. When CM showed up to save Tony, not a sound came from the audience. Then when she showed up at the end to destroy the flagship, one guy sheepishly went “woo.”
It would be nice to feel bad for her because she is a very talented actress, but as we’ve learned over the last decade, a lot of really talented actors and actresses are really horrible people off camera. Let Brie be a cautionary tale to young performers that people just want to see your work, not hear your opinions.
I think she’s mad that she got sidelined in her own movie, but she can’t say that or she’d be called racist. So blame it on the toxic fans.
I remember when they did the interview with Brie and the other Marvel stars, and she came off extremely poorly in comparison to the rest of the cast. With the comparison of her being the next Tom Cruise, and responding with the, "I'm going to be the next me, thank you VERY much." Like, where does she get off even comparing herself or thinking she's better than Tom Cruise? He's the highest paid actor in Hollywood for more than a decade for a reason, he does all his own stunts and that brings a layer of extra tension when you know that's really him doing it, along with his ability to act.
- You haven't earned your accolades Brie, turn the vainglorious attitude down from 15 to 2 please.
3:39 This is wrong, ensemble cast doesn't imply the last movie, or character failed, look at Civil War. The actual difference is that they changed the title. Captian America Civil War vs The Marvels, and not Captisn Marvel 2². Them abandoning the Captian Marvel name, is what shows it failed.
Tell me how to find the full video pls.
Justice for Don and his motorcycle.
Brie Larson is that woman who has made her career on pretty privilege and doesn't get why people don't like her when she berates them.
RDJ is a person who got his start from his father, and in his early years had some impulse control issues and got into real trouble over it. He's learned from those consequences. He gets to have that confidence because he knows he's got the charm and looks, but always remembers life, the law and addiction, smacking him accross the face. And he's got a family, so he has more than himself to think about.
Brie needs to learn those genuine lessons. She needs something outside of herself to be good for. Until she gains some kind of real purpose and humility she's going to be problematic.
Brie was a failed experiment, she was the first one to go heavy on the whole me too man hate you can see that was put on both on her movie and her interviews. The backlash was unpredictable (by the execs, anyone with a sane brain could see that marvel was mostly a male fanbase) so it lead to her project of next face of the MCU being cut off, starting the whole derrail of the MCU
I hear shes "quitting" Nissan too...
The only reason Captain Marvel was a success is because it was marketed as a crucial plot for End Game, not because people like Queen Brie
I doubt she planned for this to happened. The Disney handler hypothesis makes more sense. She probably changed agents/handlers when she got a wif that her career might tank. She needs to take a break and only do arthouse films to break off the stink. I actually feel sorry for her.
She needs to go wash dishes and wait tables and pray her personality develops.
So you’re not acknowledging how she treated people and tried to make men feel bad just for being male? Don’t feel bad for her that’s ridiculous. She’s a multimillionaire actress. Which in reality is a high paid prostitute
One word sums her up she is disingenuous and people pick up on it easy. I agree with everything said by you guys 😂
Yep.
She's above us plebs.
Love when Baggage Claim is on. She brings something to the discussion none of the guys really can.
It's been eight years since I've set foot in a cinema. Every movie release has been worth waiting for DVD or streaming. nothing has excited me enough to buy a ticket. I'm a simple man, a common man it shouldn't take that much to get me excited, and yet the studios haven't been able to move me, and I don't think they ever will.
You are far more charitable for Larson than I would be/am.
I'm a fan of the Maya Angelou quote: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
No matter how bad you think she is, there are two good reasons to enjoy watching her 😊
Brie Larson has nobody to blame for her woes except what passes for Brie Larson's personality.
