True story: guys online are actually complaining that Captain Marvel doesn’t smile in the trailer.
Update: Brie Larson’s response:
I wonder if these guys actually realize how stupid they sound after seeing Brie’s response? Probably not. Carol has a universe to save and amnesia to deal with among so many other things. Plus her rediscovering her humanity is literally part of her story since she doesn’t remember her life on Earth. When the movie starts, she’s operating by her Kree side that is less emotional and more logical.
Also just stop telling women to smile. They’re not here to look pretty for you. No one tells dudes to smile, especially superheroes.
[Captain Marvel trying to remember life on Earth]
Some dude: Hey! You should smile more!
Captain Marvel: Oh fuck. Now I remember.
[Captain Marvel flys away and leaves Earth to rot.]
Me: [gently, very gently trying to pry the Harry Potter franchise out of JKR’s white-knuckle grip] That’s it… You’ve had enough now…
JKR: [hugging it tighter] I thought this was what you wanted! More diversity! More representation! More magic! Magic in the US for all the American fans!
Me: You can’t just retroactively make all the characters fill a checklist, babe, and I don’t know a single American who thinks Ilvermorney makes a lick of sense. Just give it [pulling] here… We don’t need any more content. You’ve done enough. We can extrapolate on our own, now.
JKR: No!
Me: [desperately] You broke your Brits Only rule to support the casting of an abuser as one of your only gay characters. You retroactively made Nagini an Asian Animagus in like, the most fetishistic way you possibly could, and I’m pretty sure it breaks the lore anyway. You’ve got another series going. You can write other stuff! Just…just give it. George, please, tell her!
[George Lucas materializes and puts a sad, defeated hand on her shoulder] Just let it go. It’s not worth it. Now let us go be billionaires in peace.
the good place is a good show because it has genuinely touching moments that discuss what it means to be a good person and how others can impact you positively etc. but also it has stuff like this
