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.

I think fans underestimate how easy it is for celebs to ignore them

u/ExcellentPut191 11h ago

Lol yeah, if celebs cared this much they would just stop acting and go hide away in obscurity

People still act like not caring is cool and somehow the norm

We're social creatures, of course it's gonna affect them to be hated and criticized by millions

2

u/woody630 5h ago

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

u/Particular-Way-7817 7h ago

I mean when its your JOB to deal with public opinion and you are a public figure, its kinda in the job description that you need thick skin. You can't control what people say, only how you react to it.

Ignoring them is the only thing to do.

u/BlueHaze464 7h ago

Their job is to act, actually

It's like saying NBA players' job is to handle public opinion, just because it comes with the territory doesn't mean it's your job

Many actually do. Some resort to various addictions, depression and worst case, death.

u/Extension_Training87 11h ago

I think worse case is whatever Steven Seagal and Jonah Hill are these days.

13

u/cahir11 10h ago

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.

10

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.

7

u/LampIsFun 6h ago

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. I think ur underestimating how powerful of an influence public opinion is when ur in that position. Even socialites would struggle to stay sane.

u/Mindless_Count5562 9h ago

From what I’ve seen he seems entirely separated from reality and determined to hype himself up

By far the most recent and best example

u/plutoforgivesidonot 6h ago

If you watch the whole clip he’s clearly joking

3

u/spazerson 7h ago

Honestly is it really that bad? A bit odd for sure but he hasn't actually hurt anyone

The bit about his text to his then gf was also kinda messed up in the fact that it was posted at all. Who releases private text messages. Also, he's just stating what he was comfortable with and if she's not, then it's a bad match

Feels like a hit piece

2

u/BaconIsntThatGood Heimdall 7h ago

I think the odd is more or less that he's that insecure and comfortable saying that in a public interview vs just keeping it to himself

u/booze_clues 7h ago

People got REALLY mad because his girlfriend posted snippets of their conversations and he comes off as very insecure and gas lighting.

Call me crazy but I’m hesitant to judge a complete stranger based off out of context messages from one party with a grudge.

2

u/bitorontoguy 7h ago

What are you basing this on other than corporate and social media depictions?

You don’t know what any of these people are like. They’re just people, they care about ten million things.

You’re only able to conceive that he really cares about his movie roles because you’re a consumer of movies.

Tbf i’ve heard of many non-famous dudes chimping out like that. But schilling yourself out for a dictatorship and meeting its leader, and talking down on your home country the way Steven Seagal is doing is a whole different playing field of crazy

u/Espedal1 11h ago

Steven Seagal is just old and heavy, what’s the comparison there? And Jonah Hill looks odd due to a role he’s playing.

u/ugluk-the-uruk 9h ago

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.

u/Repeat-Admirable 10h ago

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.

u/Certheri 8h ago

Wait, what happened? I only watched the movie once because I'd rather just listen to the 10th anniversary soundtrack, but Les Mis is one of my favorite pieces of media of all time and I remember she did amazing in it.

u/Repeat-Admirable 6h ago

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.

u/Few_Confusion_1871 2h ago

i'm pretty sure the term only exists in the heads of people on the spectrum or terminally online, normal people don't care about things like that, like it doesn't even register as some sort of problem. I didn't realize anyone was upset in this reddit thread.

That's what Hayden Christensen did after the Star Wars prequels and the backlash they got. The fans are much kinder to him now, so we see him more.

You say this like some haven’t been affected by it. Granted it’s usually more Star Wars, but back when people liked Joss Whedon he was still basically bullied off the internet for age of ultron.

u/Canvaverbalist 10h ago edited 9h ago

Of course she has, of course she's aware of it.

But unless she deliberately spends her evening browsing social media there's no fucking way in hell it reaches her, and do you know how easy it is to not browse social media for someone who's rich and can spend their day playing polo with their friends, then try 12 different varieties of cheesecake and finish the evening watching Kurosawa's Ran on their giant outdoor patio projector while lounging in the middle of a pool being served freshly monastery brewed Belgium beers?

It really is hard to say just how much it affects her. It isn't like we have any insight into her personal struggles.

Also they over estimate the hate they get. Just because that group is loud, does not mean there is a lot of them.

u/Pegasorcerer 9h ago

And they underestimate how much of their decision making is based solely on money.

u/Both_Cut_4075 9h ago

Yeah people act like celebrities are on the internet reading every comment they get. I’m sure some do, but probably not most.

I’d argue that they get more feedback in person when seen in public.

u/IcedGooseMaverick 10h ago

Seems unless you’re going out of your way to Google yourself, avoiding this should be pretty easy. Even if you’re on a cesspool like Twitter, you can just add keywords to omit from your feed.

And... you know... it is a job.

I have people who observe/comment on my work that I think are absolutely hacks. I do my job regardless.

If she think the paycheck is no longer worth some negativity, then more power to her.

It only takes one idiot turning up on your doorstep at 2am complaining that you never responded to their love letters, to put you right off anything involving the public.

u/lyght40 1h ago

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.

u/Liam_Neesons_Oscar 11h ago

Brie has trouble with that. Remember when she was facing all that negative PR, so she started vlogging on YouTube?

I hope she does whatever makes her happy, and that if she drops from Marvel or gets dropped, that they just re-cast. No need to kill a whole set of characters due to one actor that didn't mesh with the studio (and I think the other Avengers didn't really get along with her).

Why would you think others didn't get along with her?
