media_junkie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I thought Affleck made a great Bruce Wayne/Batman in BvS, however when JL came out I felt as if he was phoning it in. Now was that on him or the fact that there were two directors and lots of reshoots and tonal changes? Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why JL is a throwaway movie for me, one I won't be watching again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he looked the part, but I thought there was nothing - except a bit more body mass than usual - that he brought to the role. What made the difference in the overall portrayal was the writing. Insert Christian Bale w/ the exact same --script, I think the net effect would have been the same. I thought in Batman v Superman he did a great job. It was that Justice League situation which tainted his performance. A very fitting Elseworld story, but an equally fitting Bruce Wayne. His drive and commitment to overcoming Superman because of his concerns about the threat to Earth. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Oh, man. I don't know why, but I just watched a few of her interviews, and Brie Larson is such an unlikable person... Yikes. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the more-cringe ones is the Jimmy Kimmel one from about a week ago. One of my YT friends said that she saw it and couldn't get past the first minute because of how awful she is. I gotta agree.

It's just so weird, because I can't even think of another MCU actor who isn't likable. How did this happen? I normally love it when I see their character actors on late night shows, and in interviews, etc. Sebastian Stan is kinda bland, but he's not unlikable. All of the Phase 1 guys and gals are awesome. Paltrow is "meh", but again, not unlikable. All of Phase 2 actors - great. Benedict, Wong, the entire Guardians cast, Holland is a treasure, the entire Black Panther cast, they're all great. And then there's Brie. How did they get this so wrong? I am confused. WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not really a "big picture" casting, I don't think, although she's allegedly in Endgame. Larson, on the other hand, is/was expected to overtake Downey Jr. as the lead for this franchise. Marvel Studios may need to look at a different approach after he "alienating" comments and her stiff personality. Personally, I'm surprised that they didn't initially plan for Holland to take over. He's their character actor for their most-recognized property! Although, Sony does have their hands in the pot... I'm not a big fan of Kimmel's, and I felt really bad for the guy. He handled the situation well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an insufferable a-hole, so when I complain about someone being unlikable, that really takes some awful personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 It's all good, as these actors and actresses have to feed their inner spirit or else they lose their way in these roles. If this makes them better connected with their self-esteem - and not hurting anyone - go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 That's interesting. Quote “We had the first full costume fitting with Brie Larson on the set of Avengers: Endgame, and just stepping into the little tent on set where we hide – because we don’t want many people to see – it was astounding. Seeing that character that we’ve been working on for years, that we’ve been dreaming about even longer than that, seeing her standing in front of us for the first time, in real life - it’s incredible. It’s an amazing start for the adventure that lies ahead,” he added. In the new book, Feige also discusses what makes Captain Marvel such a special character. "The great thing about Captain Marvel is she is a human. She’s a real person, Carol Danvers, who gets these incredible powers and who has these amazing adventures in outer space," he confirmed. "But as with all of the best Marvel characters, she needs to be very human. So this is not just about somebody who is incredibly powerful and can fly around and shoot photon blasts out of her hands; it’s somebody who’s very human, who’s very vulnerable, and who has multiple dimensions."
