One thing, Brie Larson feels like a minor character in a Marvel movie so far. She's just not very charismatic and can't do the badass thing for shit.

Kinda feels like the actors don't get enough credit in most Marvel movies. Black Panther was so relateable due to just how smooth and personal the actor was almost as much as the writing itself. Thor had 2 bad movies and is still loved due to just how both funny and badass Chris Hemsworth could be. Of course the overrated one here is RDJ, who, despite being overpaid and phoning in performances nowadays, definitely brings a huge crowd himself. Scarlet Johansson also brings in some of the better acting of her career and is probably the first person you think of when anybody says Black Widow.

Then there's Brie Larson, whose signature look seems to be blankly staring at the camera like she's seen some shit, and her line reading doesn't really impress. I don't really know her personality from the comic books since I don't read much comic book in general but wasn't this a good chance to sorta do their own version of Superman that DCCU already fucked up? A sort of a girl scout, do gooder who's always positive as a beacon of hope on top of being super overpowered. Feels like it was a chance to really surround the superhero genre market more than they already have.

But young Nick Fury and mother freaking Coulson appearing is great. Too bad it seems like it's probably gonna be the less experienced Coulson though if that meeting happens in the past like the trailer implies. I like Coulson better when he's a bit more gritty and capable despite being overwhelmed

You can honestly just compare this trailer to other Marvel trailers and instantly get a similar sort of difference. A trailer is supposed to suck you into the movie with some of its best moments. It's supposed to build an expectation of the acting and the writing involved. So far, it has great Nick Fury lines and scenes. None for Brie Larson's bits

The trailer is specifically not showing her as being amazing. They are trying to not show just how powerful she is.

She's 'person with amnesia' in most of the trailer. The trailer doesn't show much of her flashbacks or banter with characters like Nick Fury.

It's a Marvel film. Charm is one of the lowest concerns. Brie is a good actress so I'm sure she'll do fine.

The whole movie takes place in the past.

Mid-90's or so, I think.

I'm sure that she, and the movie, will be great, but I'm still salty they didn't cast Katee Sackhoff. (yeah, yeah, I know she eventually said she didn't want it.)

Meh, I'm open minded to it. Especially considering I don't have a better pick lined up.

Also, I don't care what but Olivia Wilde needs to be brought into the MCU.

It's more than that. Brie Larson looks bored. She has this vacant stare like she's remembering that she needs to do her laundry later. She can fly and has energy blasts shooting out of her hands, plus she meets aliens and is thrust into life or death battles across the galaxy, but she still looks bored.

Fuck, I hope they at least explain it by saying she has PTSD or she eventually finds her enthusiasm wherever she left it.

What? Marvel is all about charm. The action is poor 60% of the time. It's the personality that makes characters like Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America entertaining.

No way. It's going to make money, lots of it. By this point, mostly everyone is on board the Marvel hype train. Not gonna lie, I'm going to see Captain Marvel and I hope is way better than that lackluster trailer makes it out to be.

Let's face it Carol is pretty unpopular and people would be hating this no matter who was picked to play her. Yes Larson is a bad choice she doesn't have the presence I expect from Carol and seems frankly bored.

Oh and the ass double thing never happened. That was for the next Avengers film and that wasn't even for Larson. Yet the myth die.

Heath was a once-in-a-generation reversal of expectation. The last time a seemingly bad casting decision worked in a superhero movie was Michael Keaton in Batman '89. People thought he'd be a comedy character because of Mr. Mom.

The controversy surrounding Gal was that she didn't have muscle. It had nothing to do with her acting. It was just muscle fetishists getting mad that she wasn't roided up.

It had to do with her acting. She had no roles to show off her acting skills before the DCEU.

The trailer was adequate, but that's about it.

She looked good in the red and blue costume, but she doesn't seem very emotive at all. The trailer has me more interested in Nick Fury than Carol, since it looks like we are going to find out how he loses his eye.

Not a very exciting trailer. Especially when I compare it to, say, Thor: Ragnarok.

Monica Rambeau should have been the main character instead of Carol Danvers. She was Captain Marvel before Carol and she lead the Avengers before Carol. It's nice that she gets a cameo but she should have been the lead.

But wait, this is CE so thatll never happen.
