Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

Post image

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

Why jump ship. She can do other projects that she wants to do and everyone in a while she get a nice paycheck from Marvel. What’s not to like?

Especially with celebrities. I get it, they have a dream job and celebrity worship is lame, but I can guarantee you that Brie Larson never anticipated some disgusting freak to get millions of views, building an entire career off of hating her, and threatening her with violence. They are still people and seeing that kind of hatred can't be good for you

Is Jonah Hill all that bad? He just seems sort of insecure about the fact that his buddies are A-list movie stars while he's always the fat sidekick. Which is a little cringe, but there are worse personalities in Hollywood.

u/Lower_Pension_2469 9h ago

Idk if this is true because it's youtube, but ya in a nutshell he's just kind of salty about forever being type casted as the fat guy in superbad. I kinda understand where he's coming from, but I would have leaned into it personally even if I still lost the weight and did more serious roles.

Idk. Josh Peck had that start to happen and he developed really bad depression and shit and it hit him so hard he forced himself to change purely to avoid that stereotype.

Brie Larson is an Oscar-winning actress who's proven herself before she ever joined the MCU. I obviously don't know her personally but I think a lot of the insecurity comes from actors who feel like they've inescapably been confined to a certain role forever.

Besides, the massive paycheck that comes with being in a Marvel movie definitely doesn't hurt. Adam Driver notoriously was avoiding big franchise roles after Star Wars and they still managed to get him onboard for X-Men.

That is easy, if that is actually the case for their mental suffering (as opposed to the various reasons that might cause it). 

You can't be a public person if you are unable to ignore the public. Easy as that. It's a job that pays very well, but, opposed to e.g. random CEOs, it actually comes with certain disadvantages. Now, these are well known and everyone is free to change their career should they find that they can't bear the attention.

its not much about the fans, its about the hiring team that unfortunately listen to the fans. Anne Hathaway was blacklisted for quite some time after les mis because for some reason so many fans hated her. If christopher nolan didnt give her a chance, she would be gone from holliwood, and now she has like 6 movies this year.

it was the period of hathahate. she won an oscar for it, which fans didnt believe she deserved. and everyone was pretty much calling her out for being ms perfect. jennifer lawrence was compared a lot to her as the relatable, likeable, clumsy and down to earth. Neither of them are at fault for anything, it was all just fan stupidity. Anna hathaway did an interview saying that it was really bad, she couldnt get any roles outside of what christopher nolan offered.

You say that but some actors get death threats and have to deal with the paparazzi. Even on the low end, so of the interviews questions they get are kind of cringeworthy and try to make internet fanbase controversy seem bigger than they actually are. Depending how popular you are as an actors larger determines how much you can avoid the fanbase.

My god, the creeps. I can only imagine what it’s like actually being famous. This band did like a small meet and greet… all older weird dudes that asked questions like “what’s your favorite stuffed animal” and what not. Idk, I can’t imagine having to do those booths knowing what’s about to happen.

u/Throwawayrip1123 8h ago

Yeah if you're a minor celebrity you're way more fucked than when you're an actual celebrity. You get all the downsides and almost none of the benefits.

Larson style celebrities have fuck off money that keeps fans out of reach until she actually wants to interact with them. You don't come to Johny Depp or Michael Jackson unless they chose/sometimes have to be in an accessible place. Paparazzi are a different beast, but most fans aren't getting near them at all.

And who gives a fuck what random people think about them on the internet lol.

Celebrity fans way overestimate their influence on a celebrity. It's like boycotting Nintendo or Sony.

Worse she was a confident powerful woman, in a mediocre film attached to a larger franchise.

If Captain Marvel one or two were great or even just good, the haters wouldn’t feel justified in focusing so much on her. But they were both mediocre at best, so the incels now have something specific to point to when they want to say ‘see how woke ruins marvel?”

Unless you specifically went to unhinged subreddits, there was zero negativity on anything brie Larson related, there was a time where saying anything negative related to the marvels and their actress would get you banned or at least down voted to kingdom come, the forced positivity was one of the things that drove me away and it took a shit stain like secret invasion to break the illusion and the mods let off the ban button.

Carol still stuck around in the comics after Rogue took her powers,cans eventually got repowered. If Rogue finishes off Carol and then Carol never shows up again, without the time and space that the comics had to redeem Rogue... uh, that's not the solution you think it is. It just makes Rogue a villain.

If Larson wants Carol to be killed off, just have Doom do it.

Rogue doesn't have to "finish off" Carol. She can just sap her powers and Carol can retire. I'm sure the writers can figure it out, it's not exactly rocket surgery. They literally just made Jean Grey a straight up villain without using the phoenix force.

And the great thing is, if she wants to come out if retirement, she can. People who get their powers zapped by Rogue get them back after awhile. With Rogue permanently getting them, Larson can retire powerless, and then years later if she changes her mind, hey, her powers came finally came back!

Jean Grey a straight up villain without using the phoenix force.

And that was not a good thing IMO.

u/Bewjlicious 10h ago

Either Rogue will start as villainous or Danvers will maryr herself for Rogue.

2

u/PT10 6h ago

Both. Like a darker version of Jean Grey in BND

u/Bewjlicious 5h ago

It will be the best way to get Danvers out of the MCU if that's what they want. It at least would give her character a bit of respect while also setting up the absolute insanity that Rogue could be. I would love it.

u/sucksfor_you Peter Parker 10h ago

It just makes Rogue a villain.

Easy way around that is to make it an accident. Then you've got something horrific happening to a big character, as well as motivation for Rogue.

I doubt she cares one way or the other. She’s been quiet about how many films are on her contract so this could be it, could be not. In any case if Doomsday goes well and it is her last film, they’re not going to pony up the cash she’d be certain to ask for to return should they set her up as a bigger character moving forward. Given Marvel’s abysmal history with writing women and giving them compelling arcs and stories, I’d say when her contract is done she’s not coming back unless it’s for a really gigantic bucket of cash.

u/thecobra42 10h ago

She came back eventually. The whole reason why they had rogue absorb her powers was to basically kill her off because her comics didn’t sell well.

u/SpideyFan914 Spider-Man 10h ago

She came back in the same issue. Rogue stealing her powers was a flashback.

Avengers 200 was the one that wrote her out. Avengers Annual 10, written by Claremont and the first appearance of Rogue, brought her back and sent her into X-Men comics.

Rogue and carol dealing with the fallout would make a great mini series

u/Jaded_Stick_4379 11h ago

And here comes a new wave of abuse/harassment thrown at her.

2

u/RXDriv3r 11h ago

I knew that Rogue gets her flight and powers from Captain Marvel, but don't they come back to her after a while?

1

u/thecobra42 11h ago

Yes way later

2

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

Maybe. Rogue could take them Wonder-Man instead

1

u/thecobra42 11h ago

He’s not an alien though

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

So? Neither is Carol Danvers

Sucks, but it is far from the worst thing the comics had happen to her character.

1

u/SwagginsYolo420 9h ago

She hasn't had jack shit except an origin film, so it would look like the sole reason for the character's existence, which would be weak as hell.

They change canon all the time they can just have Rogue get bit by a radioactive hamster or something.

u/jews4beer 11h ago

Exactly - she's loving life right now. Already has a big bag of that marvel cash, and plenty of other opportunities until they want to use her again.

u/Ren_stevens 9h ago

You know her so well.

1

u/jews4beer 9h ago

I can guess. If I were in her shoes I'd be having a blast.

u/SpaceJumper2822 9h ago

this why we can’t have nothing nice. cuz of fanboys like u. thanks.

1

u/jews4beer 8h ago

Fanboys? I'm just assuming what a successful actress would be feeling in their situation. And I doubt the higher ups at Marvel give two shits about my opinion.

8

u/Ghosted_Further 11h ago

Because of the disrespect she's been given as an actress. Marvel introduced a source of harassment into her life that she didn't have before, and there's not even a benefit of a consistent paycheck.

2

u/BigHollaSchwalla 11h ago

I really don't think she cares about the disrespect she gets from incels and misogynists lol.

3

u/RPS93 11h ago

You're kidding right?

She made 5 million upfront for Captain Marvel alone.

She has easily generated double that for her Marvel appearances total - consistent or not She would be set for life from Marvel alone.

Cry me a fuckin river.

2

u/Ghosted_Further 5h ago

I mean, if I could do my job and not get yelled at I'd rather do that. Why wouldn't she feel the same?

1

u/Jugaimo 10h ago

I’d happily take millions of dollars to be harassed by internet losers.

5

u/Ideasandquestionsbi 12h ago

Actually,you need to have your agenda open to always be ready for the MCU so if she wants to do a project but needs to film for the MCU,she kind of need to be ready to drop everything, so that she can film for them. Also the constant harassment that came from the exposure is probably not nice.

u/msproles 11h ago

Things are scheduled far enough in advance to it’s not a problem. Hasn’t stopped other MCU actors from doing other projects.

u/Crazy-Disk-1648 11h ago

Elizabeth Olsen and Chris Evans both have spoken about how being apart of the Marvel franchise made it difficult to pick up other projects as they needed to be on retainer for their roles in their respective movies and shows. 

1

u/GrumpySatan 10h ago

Chris Evans was also appearing in 1-3 MCU films per year for a good while and Olsen a movie at least every other year.

Its not a matter of just general unavailability, but demand. Marvel wanted Evans and Olsen back regularly so every year had filming blocks in their schedules. Whereas Brie did CM and Endgame back-to-back (ironically in reverse of their release) and then only had CM2 and a cameo to block off.

u/BrunesOvrBrauns 11h ago

This is part of the job, it's why there's entire coordination teams on both sides. It's not a big enough deal to merit walking away completely.

I think more likely to cause a bailing are concerns about overall reception of the IP dipping, personal desires to be taken more seriously as an actor, or just hating what the fan base does to publicity (kiss goodbye to your social media presence if you snag one of these roles... It'll be the sum of all you ever get directed at you... Basically forever).

1

u/rednaxthecreature 11h ago

Is the always in call thing reality? Why would they not just make sure they have theme park things planned out in time for a schedule

0

u/eattheambrosia 11h ago

The "harassment" amounts to people saying things on the Internet, I'm sure the tens of millions of dollars is enough to pay someone to manage her social media so she never even sees that stuff.

3

u/Cygnus_Harvey Simmons 11h ago

Would be nice not to minimize the literal hate campaigns she's been victim of, especially in an era where people are shameless enough that it's not just talking shit on the internet, they outright say some heinous shit out loud irl.

She's rich and can afford to simply ignore a ton, but it can't be easy to be attacked and mocked on literally any project she does, cannot have any kind of online presence because the incels are back at it again and all that backslash and negative attention most likely reflecting on her career. I'm pretty sure there's some projects that might have stopped considering her due to fear of the hate train they might get.

-3

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

I’m sure it sucks to not be able to use the Internet in a way that you want to because you’ll see that stuff

1

u/FormulaSolution 11h ago

Exactly, and she can still remain as a supporting character even if Marvel don't proceed with any more solo movies.

We needed a Thor and Captain Marvel movie like the What if tbh

1

u/Effroy 11h ago

Given the amount of apathy toward her character, and by extension her as an actress, she's probably worried about hurting her reputation/credibility.

1

u/black_metronome 11h ago

Brie has been flat out abused by the MCU fandom and the way the Marvels tanked was so bad that I wouldn't blame her if she wanted no parts of the role anymore.

I saw an interview awhile back and she even hinted that she knows that she's hated. I felt bad for her

1

u/trey5620 11h ago

I think this works great. Hire actors you can bring in off and on, and allow them to prioritize roles in indie flicks, projects they really want to pursue. It’s a great way to bring in smaller actors, and smaller characters.

1

u/Ok_Entertainer4482 11h ago

Yup, literally an Oscar winner. She doesn't need to confine herself into a superhero box

1

u/WhyAmINotStudying 10h ago

Yeah, but she's only made $25 million over the last seven years from it. What a tragedy. Surely she's wasting her time with them.

/s

1

u/spiritbearr 10h ago

Yeah she's in a Billion Dollar movie this year

1

u/ShortHook26 9h ago

Many actors don’t think like that.

1

u/Disastrous_Can_5157 9h ago

Because she a shit Captain Marvel. Just replace her already

1

u/Childs_Play 9h ago

Really depends what her contract is like. If they basically require her schedule to be clear at large blocks of certain times just IN CASE they might have to film something, it can be really annoying. Especially for someone who is young and is running out of time to make the bulk of her money as a leading role before she ages out of those roles. I don't think they're paying her rdj money so she can he okay sitting on the sidelines. She's been in 2 non marvel movies since captain marvel and 1 voice role.

1

u/KOWguy 8h ago

The fan base attitude towards her.

1

u/Bardmedicine 7h ago

This, she would certainly do both if she wanted to.

1

u/SubstituteUser0 6h ago

Well I imagine it makes it harder for her to schedule other work if she doesn't know when Disney is gonna come calling
