I keep reading the topic title as "Brie Larson hates memes and it's really bad" and I'm like damn she must be militantly anti-meme.
Brie Larson hate memes are back and it's really bad
- Thread starter HustleBun
- Start date
I can't believe people still don't understand the Widow "I am a monster" scene....or are they simply being obtuse?
As for the Brie/Carol hate...typical misogynistic BS. "She's arrogant"...."It was Deus ex-Machina!"....."She's a Mary Sue"...."She's being shoved down our throats!" ...all motifs on the same theme.

Yep, it is ultra shitty but I am 0 surprised at this point.
edit: WTF that Scarlett Johansen video?! fucking disgusting
I agree. I know I'm in the super minority but I actually like it best out of the MCU movies. Something kinda refreshing about it.
It's rather unbelievable that they even do a slow-motion take on it and throw more fuel to the fire with the commentary.
I don't think one needs to have been "locked up" to understand her. And she waa not just a prisoner of her own self doubt. She literally got kidnapped and brainwashed into thinking she's someone else. It's actually an abduction movie where a woman realises the truth and less so about her discovering her powers. It speaks about how abusive relationships don't always appear to be and that you don't need to be physically imprisoned for someone to be imprisoned by others. The powers are just auxiliary and necesaary because it was a comic book movie.
In a topic about a woman and how she is getting treated online saying you want her to step on you in a creepy fetishizing way comes off as "yikes" to me.
Same. It's probably right outside my top 5 (now that Endgame released) and it's my second favorite origin story right behind Captain America: TFA. I ended up seeing it in theaters 4 times - I just really like it.
Side note - I've had an ongoing debate/argument with a friend that seems to really dislike the MCU version of Carol because of how "rude" or "arrogant" she is but I've never been able to tell why he had this criticism or if he's actually merging Brie and Carol together and is really meaning to criticize Brie. It's such a bizarre complaint to have, in my opinion. I finally just called him out (after re-hashing this argument many times) and told him "I think you just have a problem with her" and his response was "fair enough". We haven't really talked about it since but it was at least half-way decent for him to own up to it. However, it's pretty sad that he takes issue with Carol (or Brie) for a reason such as this.

I didn't love Captain Marvel and considered it middling or above average in the context of the other films in its shared universe, but the movie's and Brie Larson's ability to get under the skin of societal scum is so good - and for that I'll elevate the film from a 7 out of 10 to top 3 Marvel films of all time.
On a serious note, its alarming at how truly fucked nerd culture has become. It is honestly filled with some of the most useless repugnant motherfuckers walking the Earth.
Shits ridiculous. It's gotten to a point where I don't even want to share my negative opinions about stuff like The Last Jedi and Captain Marvel, because while I'm not a fan of those films, I'd rather my opinions go unshared than feed into the cesspools surrounding them and have my views co-opted into a culture of weaponized hate.

What scene? I don't catch what you're referring to, I think I noticed something but it's just slipping my mind right now.
I don't know about the "has become" part.
Seems to me fandoms and nerdom have been fucked since the start.
The one with the women in it that made us all yell yaaaaaass qween at hollow corporate feminism.
Don't think one can really make a definitive statement about how most people perceived that scene.
I honest to God would not know about this Brie Larson hate if I was not on the internet. How do these pathetic individuals not realize they're living in an illusion? Apparently Brie is part of a culture war. These people have lost the plot.
Powerful and threatening women have always been a target in the culture war.
Oh, that wasn't what I was thinking then. I thought there was something more, dialogue or something. But thanks!
I just wanted to watch the Jeremy Renner/Brie Larson interview and Youtube threw me dozens of videos (probably many more if I just scrolled down) how Renner and others in the cast hate her. The actual original video these numbnuts are basing their videos on wasn't even the first search result.

Here's a Brie Larson love meme for everyone
But...I posted that like an hour ago... :(
I guess not.
But I can say I specifically discussed that exact scene with all my closest friends who saw it at separate times and we were all equally furious about it. Everyone else I've talked to about the scene before now felt it was about infertility. It's not exactly an uncommon take.
If that wasn't their intention, enough people read it that way for it to be ineffective storytelling.
This is one of the best memes i've seen for god knows how long. Thank you.Sometimes the hate train really just feels like this at times:
Nothing but delusional angry man-babies
Hopefully it gets remade when the film comes officially
I know i bring this up everytime. But that shit was really heartbreaking for me.
1. Brie is fucking awesome and is killing it as Captain Marvel
2. Captain Marvel wasn't a Deus Ex Machina in Endgame. She explicitly states that she won't be back for a while at the beginning of the movie. Her return was a welcome addition to that final battle sequence. What WAS a DEM was the Ravagers joining the fight at the end with Howard the Duck out of nowhere. Yet no one complains about that.
3. These fake ass fans can't handle a strong female lead. It just doesn't sit right with their backwards ass mentalities.

Not that the "body language expert" video was made in good faith but:
The interview in question is clearly banter from beginning to end, and they even acknowledge each other in a humble way throughout. I recently went on a date that was like this essentially the whole time (ie digs at each other, ribbing) and we really hit it off and are still friends.
They're having fun and playing with each other. I wouldn't be surprised if it's like this on set too to some extent.

Oh god I love this lolHere's a Brie Larson love meme for everyone
This is awesome.
They're so clearly fucking around.
This cast seems like the most fun people to hang around with
The lady I went on a date with has her exact personality. The irony of the video in the OP is clearly lost on its creators
To be fair (though I don't know if that is warranted), I don't think most of them imply Larson being hated because she's too liberal. I mean the assholes hate her for that and being a vocal woman, but I think they imply Larson being unlikable person for other reasons, bad personality etc. Even for other liberals.
And I'm pretty sure they're doing it to fuck with the interviewer.... by all accounts these press junkets get boring AF after a while
Right, I'm sure it's more excessive than usual since they're interviewing. But I legit had a date just like this lol
Oh yeah totally, I can easily imgine they find ways to entertain themselves like this!
No no I mean that they're letting their real sense of humour fly to fuck with the dude a bit
I thought Captain Marvel was boring and a bottom 5 MCU movie, but the fact that it pisses off all these incels makes me more fond of it.
User Banned (1 Week): Homophobic rhetoric.
Never thought I'd see the day where so many men are threatened by women. I just don't get it. We are going to have a population decrease, which will be good for the climate, but for all the wrong reasons.
Are incels repressed homosexuals? I just don't understand this. Even gay men like women. I'm just at a real loss here. But repressed homosexuality might breed this disdain for women right? I have no grip on reality with the Incel thing. On one hand, they claim to be men. On the other hand, they're crying little punkasses threatened by women breathing?
I just cant understand this.
edit:
I should not have singled out homosexuality here, I understand is a homophobic thing to say. I apologize for not thinking this through. I'm sorry for writing this. I do have an amazing confusion over incels, I just don't understand how these men hate women so much. But, its better to think things through before vomiting on a keyboard.
