On Brie Larson as Captain Marvel and the “can’t act” shit

So I watched Captain Marvel again and I finally understood where all the “she shows no emotions” criticism are coming from. You see, Brie Larson is an introvert and it shows on screen. That said, what I love about it is that even though she’s not as expressive as everyone else in the MCU, you could totally see it in her eyes what’s going on in her mind. Take for example when Carol Danvers and Nick Fury were in the records section and Fury asked her, “are you okay?” and she looks to the side saying, “Mmhmmm.” That was a simple line but you can see worry and other feelings swirling in her head.

And what about her training scene at the beginning? Remember, she was told—countless times—to keep her emotions in check. Here, some people may not see it in her eyes, but if you look closely at her fist and neck, it’s clear that all she wants to do is punch the shit out of him.

Another perfect example was when they took away her powers. She went from, “SHIT. WTF?!” To “Bitch, you have no idea what I’M capable of” real fast. Tell me how she is showing no emotions again?

And then, of course: that Thor-Carol scene in the Avengers: Endgame trailer that had everyone screaming in lesbian...

I love this scene because her reaction to Thor showing his manliness and his power was very subtle yet so strong. She was unfazed by his summoning his hammer and demeanor and, for a tiny second, seemingly challenging him to take her on. If you watched the trailer just once you won’t see it, but then if you look closely, it’s there in her eyes. The “I’m not afraid of you” look mashed with “Come on, God of Thunder. I dare you to use that Stormbreaker on me” look. It’s pretty powerful.

The thing is, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel isn’t like how other female superheroes portray their characters in the MCU. Her struggles and emotions were more internal, it will take a fellow introvert to fully understand her. AND THAT’S OKAY.

It’s sad that there are other people who talk shit about the movie just because of some things she’s said in the past. I agree, it may not be THE BEST Marvel movie, but to me it’s got one of the best origin stories not just in the MCU, but in the entire superhero movies.

I know what you’re thinking. “You probably haven’t seen many origin stories if you think Captain Marvel is one of the bests.” Yeah, well, this is my opinion and you salty bitches can keep crying in the corner. KBYE.

AppleTV, please stop.

I cannot get through your trailer for the upcoming Emily Dickinson drama, even your abridged one without cringing. Please, stop. 

If you want a girl boss, make a biopic about Marry Wollstonecraft or Emmeline Pankhurst. (I’d recommend Anne Lister but she is already being thoughtfully portrayed) 

If you are looking for feminist writers, you have an endless selection! Virginia Woolf, Erica Jong, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and Susan Sontag to name a few!

Emily Dickinson has and never will be, a girl boss. Was she extraordinary? Yes. Was she unbelievably gifted? Yes. And were her talents unprecedented considering the overwhelming chauvinism and oppression of that time period? Also yes. -- But she never, by any means tried to overcome the patriarchy. 

“I’m going to be the best poet that ever lived.” No, no, no. Did she achieve this? Perhaps to some. She certainly became one of the most well known. But was that her ambition? NO, not by a long shot, you silly gillyflowers! 99.5% of the poems that she ever wrote, 1200 of them were not published until AFTER her death. Getting published or overcoming the odds was not her life’s ambition. 

Also she never was trying to surpass the oppression of her Father. Her Father actually supported the education of her and her sisters. But sure, I’ll give you a benefit of a doubt that he might have been misogynist towards her. 

*Cue scene of her dancing with friends, sneaking out to parties and flirting* ALSO NO. It’s strongly supported that she never dated, never wanted to get married and was incredibly introverted. To quote a book actually written about her, with an author who you know, actually did research 

“Evidence suggests that Dickinson lived much of her life in isolation. Considered an eccentric by locals, she developed a penchant for white clothing and was known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, to even leave her bedroom. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon correspondence”

You’re probably thinking: But who would want to watch a film about a woman who suffered from depression and never left her room ? Who lived such reserved life? Actually, a lot of people. At least I would, because despite this -- she still left an incredibly legacy. One hardly rivaled in the world of literature. 

She was not outspoken nor did she ever probably feel safe to be that way. But no matter how quiet, mute she might have been in her every day life. The words that she wrote would deafen out even a lion’s roar. Or in this case, your film.

Bears who hibernate have the perfect life. You are only awake when the weather is good. You live in beautiful nature. Most of the times you are by yourself.You have to eat a lot and get fat because you hibernate all winter long and your coat is a furry blanket. Where can I sign up?

When people complain about me being an introvert I tend to find it quite annoying. Who gives a fuck if I enjoy my company more than others.

Us introverts are not broken, we are just different from you. Try to understand us, not criticize and attempt to change or "fix" us
