Do you love Captain America?

 This answer may take a while. Now, I just want to say that after seeing Endgame, Captain Marvel has gotten a bit more bearable.

And I am not trying to dog on Brie Larson. I think even she heard the fans response to her being really uptight and the whole stunt double fiasco. She welcomed her two stunt doubles to the award ceremony, so I guess she learned her lesson… for now.

But I am going to start at the beginning, and it all started around 2012 when Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel. Now, there wasn’t a huge uproar because everyone actually supported it, and thought it wasn’t bad.

Then, the beginning of the End. When Civil War 2 Comic was released in 2016.

This is where the hatred started. Before, she was a decent character who didn’t do much but was still likeable.

However, thanks to bad writing from Brian Bendis, she went from a background character to an annoying character.

In summary, she keeps on saying that she’s right, but when someone points out her methods are flawed, she plays the victim card. She arrests a woman, and literally plans to imprison her there forever AGAINST her will until Carol finds “evidence”, even when her methods are flawed. She arrests a teenager for a crime he didn’t commit, and she tries to kill Tony Stark, and accidentally sends him into a coma. Oh, and she compares a Holocaust survivor to an online troll who praises Adolf Hitler.

How… how does anyone like her after this? She arrest people just so she seems that she’s right, she complains men are mean, and she literally arrested a teenager for a crime he didn’t commit without hesitation or empathy.

No offense, but if you support Carol and thinks her actions are cool, then something is seriously wrong with you.

The issues before Civil War 2 don’t make her likeable. She is seriously mean, and her only faces seem to be scowling, grumpy, mad or sad.

So, already the character in the comic was a jerk and boring, which is already a bad omen. MCU Carol Danvers may be boring, but she wasn’t a jerk and is definitely more friendlier.

Speaking of the MCU

MCU/Disney Overhyping her, and the Toxic Fandom

Kevin Feige mentioned that Captain Marvel will be the strongest hero of all time. Disney also promoted this, to show female empowerment and Girl Power.

Naturally, there was an uproar and people didn’t like it, as Thor had to work hard to be strong while Carol will just steal the spotlight.

Personally for me I didn’t care, I thought maybe her being strong will help the Avengers win. It's just entertainment after all.

That is until people start accusing other people of being “sexist.” If they don’t think Captain Marvel is the strongest, then they are sexist misogynistic pigs. Some quora users call me a sexist douchebag because I didn’t agree with them on Carol being the strongest, even though I said that we should wait for the movie to judge her.

It got to the point where people called you a jerk and a sexist a-hole for not liking the fact that Carol Danvers is the strongest MCU hero of all time. So naturally, a lot of people’s expectations of Carol was soured and people judged her before her movie.

Then her movie came out. And all hell broke loose

And I believed this is Marvel’s most controversial movie, AND superhero to date.

I made a review of this, calling out its flaws while saying its an average movie. And some Quoran users actually REPORTED the answer, which caused it to collapse.

I made many answers with Carol Danvers saying I don’t care if she’s the strongest, in fact her being strong is good. What I did care was if Carol Danvers was likeable or engaging.

And unfortunately, she was not engaging or likeable. I was not attached to her. She was boring. The problem is that in the movie, her weakness is that she shows too much emotions and is angry, but most of her screen time in her own movie she shows… no emotion. How is showing too much emotion a weakness when she barely shows emotion at all? She wasn’t engaging or likeable, they prioritized politics over developing characters.

There were many scenes where Carol should have felt emotional or SOME emotions. When she finds out that her mentor, someone she trusted for many years, betrayed her she shed one tear and was like “okay. whats next.”

Or there’s a scene where she LITERALLY learns how to fly for the first time using just her powers, and she shows NO emotion whatsoever. She learns how to fly for the first time, and instead of reacting in surprise or wonder like “Whoa. I actually did it.” she has a straight face like its just a Monday for her. It doesn’t affect her, which doesn't make sense because that's not how a human would react.

Carol Danvers in the movie does not undergo a character arc that resonates with most of the audience. She starts out with amnesiac warrior, and ends with warrior with overpowered superpowers. Thor’s arc in Thor Ragnarok was better than Carol’s arc. Heck, Billy Batson’s character arc in Shazam is better than Carol’s arc.

I can talk about how Captain Marvel was advertised as a political and feminist movie. But it would take forever.

Brie Larson

Unfortunately, Brie Larson didn’t quell the hate, rather she literally put oil in the fire. She literally made the hate go even more intense.

She said that Captain Marvel is worthy to lift Mjolnir, she can move planets. In her WIRED interview, Brie Larson was WAY too defensive and uptight. She answered in questions that made the viewer uncomfortable, and answered in a tone that made it seemed that she was threatened.

I am going to compare Brie Larson’s answer to a similar question, to Elizabeth Olsen.

Question: Are you left-handed?

Elizabeth Olsen’s answer: No, but thank you for assuming that i am a creative and gifted person.

Brie Larson’s answer: Why do you need to know?!?!?

It comes off to the viewer as being confused instead of being at eased. Why the hell is Brie Larson being so defensive? If she’s trying to be sarcastic, then it fails because her tone makes her sound really threatened.

then there’s the whole Chris Hemsworth, Don Cheadle interview

The interviewer asks a question “what is your relationship with your stuntman?”

Chris Hemsworth replies that he likes his stuntman and appreciates him because he does all the hard and dangerous stuff that chris can’t.

Brie replies with “Really? I thought everyone did their own stunts, I certainly did my own stunts.” (Even though there was proof that Brie Larson had stunt doubles, I can forgive her because she made up for it by introducing her stunt doubles).

Chris is like “Whoa. You’re going to be like Tom Cruise.”

Brie then replies “What? I am going to be the first ME, not Tom Cruise thank you VERY MUCH.”

This is the interviewer’s face.

Now, many people, like me, have a problem with this.

The issue is that Chris is complimenting her. He is literally complimenting her by comparing her to America’s best stunt man, Tom fricking Cruise. And Brie Larson gets all defensive and threatened, which paints her in a bad light.

Even if people can defend her, I still don’t accept it because even if its a “tease” its not an INSULT. It's a harmless tease, and still a compliment. Yet Brie Larson got all insulted and insecure. I get that Brie Larson wanted to be the first “popular” female stunt individual, but her tone and voice makes it seem like she was insulted or angry. Which rubs off the wrong way and creates tension in the room. Her tone makes her sound rude, compared to Chris and Don Cheadle’s charming presence.

If Brie Larson gave us an impression that she wants to have fun and make a good movie, and quell down the haters by being less insecure and arrogant, then Captain Marvel probably wouldn’t get that much hate. I just hope that Brie Larson can calm down and be more relaxed instead of being uptight.

In conclusion, the reason there is such a huge hatred in Captain Marvel is because of the comics, the movie, and Brie Larson herself.

On the other hand, the Captain Marvel 2 is released. I love the Captain Marvel 2 Carol Danvers Cosplay Costumes
