Am not sure agree on this as this lady training for 9 months, even went as far as to to check out a pilot's behaviour (with real pilots) so they would be portrayed as realistically on screen as possible & lets face it those moments were relatively small on screen that's dedication for you + Stan the man was behind her 110% & he obviously knew much more about his characters than most so no i have to say that i think your wrong.
Agreed not saying she didn't commit to the role. Its her job, and most actors engage in intensive training. All I meant is I didn't feel like she fully inhabited the character. I didn't see Carol danvers on screen, I saw Brie larson. Just how I felt.
Also all the actors you mentioned above have been given time to grow into their respective roles Brie has had one movie (i haven't seen Endgame yet so this view may change) so lets see how she develops the character over time, all this miscast businesses really misses the point for me as she's a sound actor.
All the actors I mentioned nailed their characters in their
first films (hell, their first
scenes even). That's why I cited those examples.
But yes, I hope Larson grows into the role. I'm not dead set against her as you appear to think; she may surprise me as time goes on. Hope she does.
Emily Bunt i really don't think so as much as i enjoy her as an actor she is also a tad on the older side (36) for the role.
Blake Lively well she was just great in Green Lantern wasn't she aka she was no Star Sapphire in my eyes but i get where your coming from as fermaintly is something she has in spades.
Rebecca Ferguson also no offence but she is also to old for the role (35) as after all she is playing Lady Jessica in Dune (Paul's Mother).
I'm not saying they
should have used those actresses (obviously people aren't always available or the right age). Just that they would have sprung to mind (for me) as being a good fit for Danvers long before Brie Larson occured to me. Blake Lively in particular, as when I see this, I can literally see Lively in the uniform.
I think the trouble is some men just don't find Brie attractive or feminine enough for the part but personally as i said she i thought she was excellent in the role as we certainly didn't hear all this moaning about her "actor" abilities in Kong did we?
Who's 'moaning'? I just said I dont think she was especially well cast. For the record I do think she's physically attractive (especially in Kong). Its more to do with her attitude and demeanor I think. I've seen her in interviews and press conferences and I dont think she comes across as being especially 'into it', or approachable.
Mate I've seen ALL the controversy surrounding the actor including the incident you mention, and she attracted a lot of criticism (for her comments there, as well as other things). Some of the criticism went overboard to the point of (to use your phrase) 'trolling'. But nobody was trolling her because they dont like 'women having opinions'. Thats a silly strawman. She was trolled because people didn't like her comments or her attitudes. Watch the clips of her 'white dude' remarks. She's unbearably self righteous, agenda driven, and clearly
does have a problem, despite her being forced (through gritted teeth) to say the opposite.
All that said, I'm over it anyway. We've got her now, and to her credit she was ok in her own movie and was well handled in
Endgame. I simply dont see her becoming a beloved character in the same way as Iron Man, Cap, Widow, Thor (and in my case, Gamora
). Hopefully, I'll be proved wrong in her next outing.
