She made those comments several years ago and not in connection with Captain Marvel. Some defenders of The Marvels are now parroting them to explain the bad reviews.

Nobody has taken up Mschu's offer of money to see The Marvels and review.

Lol, thank you for saying it. Felt like i was crazy hearing so many get it wrong. It’s bizarre how people will pounce on a thing (pretty girl BAD) because they want it to be true.

If you’re hating on Brie, you’ve got problems blud.

there's literally dozens of videos about it - there was definitely a moment where it was trendy to talk about how toxic she was to work with

just youtube search her and you'll see half the results are that brie sucks

she's also the focus of a lot of self help channels as she's a good example how not to act with other people etc

i'm a brie fan, i think she's a good actress and is delightful to look at

i'm with you but in this instance it's fair

the way youtube shows results is not efficiently shared via screenshots - especially with the shorts integration and to just show a video clip is meaningless because you can cherry pick those

did it via incognito so it will be generic results not something tailored to me cause i'm a hater



you'll see half the top results are about why she sucks

below that her own channel and then more of "why do people hate brie"


go down further past the general stuff they mix in - again why this is not efficient



and a lot of channels that focus on dale carnegie type stuff often use her as an example of her just sucking

I fail to see the connection between clickbait YouTube search results and verifiable truths.

But whatever, the point was that the original criticism ITT was from misattribution as Rooksx pointed out. People are using her previous comments from years ago and acting like they’re new comments about The Marvels.

I deleted it before you posted your response because I realized you were just pulling a rick and didn’t want to engage further. But then, you posted lightning fast and now I can’t undelete my deleted post, but I did feel bad that you took screenshots and such so I replied to your hard work.

For posterity, my deleted post said:

“just look it up!”

after rick’s post asking to look it up.

I watched a few of those vids and they just prove my point. Toxic fan idiots who know nothing about film hating on her.

The Killer from Fincher and Fassbender last night.

Honestly -- a bit underwhelmed.

I am surprised the reviews are as good as they are. And I really wanted to like it more, as I'm a huge fan of both F&F. Stylistically it has a lot of elements that ooze Fincher but there are some scenes like the main fight scene that are fun but quite a mess. It's also nothing that standout from a story perspective.

I dunno, it feels maybe like another 30-45 minutes that were left on the cutting floor. I feel this way about a lot of Netflix movies, not sure if it is studio related but it feels like it is.

Ivanka is a good call… would be a toss up between her and AOC.

As for Brie Larson, meh. She probably is an *******, but then so are a lot of male film stars and they don’t get nearly as much ****.

Came in to post pretty much exactly this. Huge fan of both director and actor, was expecting a lot, and just felt like Fincher completely mailed it in here. Extremely underwhelming and yeah really surprised at the reviews.

Also have same opinion of Netflix movies, I feel like they are all missing something and are rather bland.

Found it interesting that Fincher had Pitt in mind for the main role but BP turned it down bc he found it too dark.

The marvels... one hundred and five minutes of pure MCU gold! I thought Brie was reasonable in KONG.

I was thinking last night (I know, I even surprised myself), and I tried to classify the BEST superhero films.

With all the commercial success and critical acclaim that the MCU has over the last decade and a half, the best Films for my money were all Detective Comics movies... Joker, The Dark Knight, The Batman.

I am depressing, I know.

You’re not wrong! I was recently thinking the same thing while The Dark Knight was on in the background at work.

When DC doesn’t try to be Marvel (a la Justice League), the films are much stronger than the latter. The three flicks you mentioned have way more lasting power than Marvel’s top entries such as Winter Soldier and Infinity War.

Playtime (1967)

Jacques Tati as M. Hulot

Nuns with flapping wimples: Now we’re in a hospital? No, it’s an airport!

Then it’s off to the:
Tour Bus full of Middle-Aged American Ladies twittering like a flock of sparrows; Hotel/Flower Vendor/Corporate HQ/Trade Show/Cube Farm/Apartment Pods/Supper Club/NightClub: All in a time when people dress to kill!

So little time in the Army: So many old friends!

A B&W movie shot in color: The film’s beginning color palette is composed entirely of the blue-gray. A bellhop walks by carrying a bunch of flowers and colors leap from the screen.
B&W Portraits in the corporate waiting room have Red Legions of Honor: Boutonnieres!

Auditorily lush: A silent movie with a soundtrack!
I watched it on Kanopy while wearing earbuds. The effect was like listening to those stereo-demonstration records from the 60s. Beautiful.

A Buster Keaton film without the chase scenes: Sight gags, sight gags, sight gags!

An Automat without the nickels; kazoo bands; restaurants under construction; jitterbugging to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

The movie is totally incomprehensible and meant to be that way. About an hour into the movie, I lost all sense of reality and began floating above the action displayed on the screen.

Is life depicted, celebrated, or ridiculed? Yes!

A most remarkable film: Check it out!
