Brie Larson is possibly the most joyous, unserious person in Hollywood...it will never stop being wild that the internet chose HER, of all people in this monstrous industry, as a villain.
If anybody was still trying to pretend
@Variety
doesn't have some weird vendetta against
#TheMarvels
, I'd love for you to compare and contrast the framing of these two articles.
The bias couldn't be more explicit.
Searches for Brie Larson in the past week peaked at the EXACT moment she appeared on The Tonight Show.
It’s almost like
#TheMarvels
was missing a certain element to its marketing, or something.
presented without comment...
AFTER TWO (2) SOLO MOVIES:
$1.334 billion - Captain Marvel
$1.209 billion - Iron Man
$1.142 billion - Ant-Man
$1.094 billion - Thor
$1.085 billion - Captain America
@jasonspank
right?! like that is LITERALLY the entire point she is making. she is describing the THRESHOLD of fame that has been crossed. that is not applicable to most people as evidenced by them not being seen in interviews with Tina Fey lmao
@courtnelc
I don’t want to blame ONE singular cultural “thing” but it’s striking how much of the current internet is people acting like “critics” or “executives” about literally everything.
People have “Reply Guy Syndrome” where they can’t even resist a “well, actually” about banal shit.
@marvel_updat3s
In what world is Captain Marvel not one of the leaders of the Avengers?!?!?
Shang-Chi goes from being starstruck in his post-credit scene to giving orders to Carol Danvers? Huh?
@EPM106
I assume they misremembering people making a reference to “kicking the bucket” and I imagine people have always expressed their desire to do certain things before they die.

@toomuchistrue
If you’re releasing an IMAX movie it feels like the first question you should ask is when is the next Christopher Nolan movie coming out? Let’s make sure we avoid that.
So let me get this straight…
Captain Marvel’s $1.1 BILLION box office “doesnt count” because of when it was released (in between Avengers 3&4) but we’re just going to ignore The Marvels being released amidst two strikes and peak MCU backlash???
if Hollywood is going to insist on making biopics I’m gonna need them to cast Brie Larson as Grace Kelly IMMEDIATELY.
they resemble each other in a genuinely uncanny way.
@BabyRuthless94
Feminism is blaming a woman for a movie she didn’t select, for a festival where her role has nothing to do with that movie.
Men are responsible for every single negative aspect of this situation…so of course the real villain here is Brie Larson.
It's still wild that a 21-year-old Brie Larson casually dropped one of the most iconic music performances in modern movie history and over a decade later Nia DaCosta was the first person to be like "hey, maybe I should let her sing in a movie." 🤣

@sleepingsooty
Fast and the Furious is a franchise spawned from a Point Break ripoff.
The MCU is based on decades of published source material from hundreds of different writers and artists.
It’s not an apt comparison.
@lexi_thompson01
I mean weed is legal in California so maybe lmao
She cried meeting JLo because the movie Selena inspired her to become an actor as an 8 year old.
She hopped to Greta Gerwig because it’s Greta fucking Gerwig!
Brie is treating it like the surreal event it is 😂
don't let The Marvels being a hit on Disney+ distract you from the fact that Lessons in Chemistry has never once left the AppleTV+ Top 10 since it was released in October.
Lessons in Chemistry is very clearly respected by people within the industry.
It’s now received nominations from:
- Screen Actors Guild
- Producers Guild
- Directors Guild
- Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild
- Art Directors Guild
- Society of Composers and Lyricists
@fiImgal
lmao have you seen the original Road House?!?!?
that shit is straight up CAMP. a faithful remake would be the perfect vehicle for little freak energy! 🤣
@theashleyray
She is the social media equivalent of a One Hit Wonder.
She did something to catch people’s attention but it turns out she didn’t have anything on the B Side.
@mrobmused
she made a speech about diversity where she specifically called out white dudes and the worst people on the internet are apparently never going to be able to let it go
@Variety
In 2019, everyone on the right said Captain Marvel would fail because of Brie Larson.
When their “get woke, go broke” predictions were proven wrong by a billion dollar box office, they claimed Disney was “buying out theaters.”
Every accusation is an admission.
Paul Giamatti on his post-Globes In-N-Out trip going viral:
“I’m hungry and I love In-N-Out! It’s been crazy & interesting but I don’t regret it because it’s In-N-Out.”

@GrahamC47
It didn't even start as a segment.
It was literally something Stephen Merchant, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt just came up with and THEN Jimmy Fallon turned it into a recurring segment and THEN it became a show on Spike after NBC passed on it (oops).
@realnorireed
How many times are people going to tweet this exact joke/observation?
Hims has an anxiety & depression section.
Hers has a sexual health section.
Like most companies, I’m sure their marketing is largely dictated by what they think will make them money.
I made a positive comment about Brie Larson on
#TheMarvels
trailer on Instagram and I now have dudes commenting on photos on my personal profile from 8 years ago. 😂
Something about this women breaks people’s brains.
@alienforever8
@stardwvlley
How should she react? She didn’t curate the festival and she’s not judging the movie, so how is it relevant?
Why does Brie Larson need to speak on behalf of the decisions and behavior of men?

one way to earn my vote is being literally the only thing that will prevent theological fascism from overtaking all three branches of government.

@AlishaGrauso
Out of curiosity, I took these five names and looked at US Google Trends in the past five years.
Jordan Peele clearly stands alone among these names.
Greta is definitely cementing herself solidly in the second spot.
Taika is the only other person really in the conversation.
@fruitymonkie
It’s easy to say this about someone taking a leading role with a generational director vs. a supporting role in a sequel.
I would argue this is actually a terrible example because most actors don’t have a Nope level role waiting for them…
I would love for
@PamelaDayM
to explain why the EXACT same early box office tracking projections for
#Barbie
and
#TheMarvels
were framed in WILDLY different ways?
Why are you biasing the narrative when the data is the same?
@EyesOnTheRight
so I looked up Burzum and it's not a "band," it's a one member "project" of Varg Vikernes.
Varg Vikernes is not only 100% a Nazi but he launched a Neo-Nazi group...in prison...for murdering another musician...who had previously helped him burn down churches.
WTF
Bringing it back. At the end of all discussions, it's all about what Brie said here👇🏻
A 12-year-old asked Brie what SHE hopes kids take from Captain Marvel, and Brie replied this way:
@SmartSmears
@garblefart
I would argue that the reaction to Brie Larson was essentially just a direct transition from Gamergate. The reactionaries needed a new villain and what could be worse than a strong woman who unapologetically speaks her mind.
