The Four Color Media Monitor

While it remains to be seen if The Marvels really will fare as badly as is estimated by analysts, The Direct says Brie Larson's tired of the role and wants to quit. Predictably, this couldn't go without an attack on fans:

According to a new report, Brie Larson may have become disillusioned about her Marvel role thanks to toxic backlash from fans.

Larson - who is set to lead The Marvels as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel - has faced her fair share of critiques since joining the super-powered franchise.

For better or for worse, the comic book movie genre/popcorn franchise entertainment has become inundated by trolls.

In Larson's case, much of the criticism has come from, as her MCU co-star Samuel L. Jackson once put it, people "who hate strong women," with sexist comments being made about her hero, the movies she stars in, and the actor herself.

As expected, they couldn't keep themselves from parroting one of the most offensive lies possibly put to use, all while having no issues with what athletes like Riley Gaines have experienced. The Direct's coverage is noticably heavy-handed. The 1st Wonder Woman movie, overrated as it decidedly was in retrospect, drew far less criticism of the sort they're implying here, and many accepted Gal Gadot in her role, so why do they apply a different logic in regards to the Capt. Marvel role? Answer: because merit's not the name of the game. Larson herself made politicized statements, which has unfortunately become far more common in the past decade for performers to do, and this all alienated a lot of people, along with her overall performance.

While speaking on The Ringer's The Watch podcast, Robinson followed up her writing in the book, plainly remarking, "The toxic backlash means that Brie Larson doesn't want to play Carol Danvers anymore:"

"[Marvel Studios] put Brie Larson in [a prominent place in the MCU]. I don't know if Brie Larson was the wrong person for the role necessarily. But the toxic backlash means that Brie Larson doesn't want to play Carol Danvers anymore."

Interesting somebody was willing to admit Larson's not a very talented performer, however indirectly. Of course, if the Capt. Marvel movie had been based on the original renditions of Carol Danvers up to 2011, is it possible the left-wing commentators would've reacted very differently? Don't be shocked if they did. Many were unwilling to take issue with the alarmingly negative way it approached relations with men, while simultaneously removing all sex appeal, as signified by the kind of suits worn by the actresses. And for The Marvels, they even had the gall to add the Muslim Ms. Marvel, in what'll doubtless be a very "normalized" approach to the Religion of Peace, to the cast of characters. With what's been going on lately, what sane person will want to see a product where Islam is deliberately whitewashed?

Some of the commentors pointed out what the site's writers weren't. For example:

Oh, I misread the title. I thought the toxic backlash was for people reacting to Brie's toxic behavior and the backlash against it.

And then:

Can anyone point to a time where she was Illusioned with the project?

She made it very clear how much she hated the material and hated the built in audience the IP came with.

And over her entire career she's come across as condescending and one dimensional as an actress, is she really all that different as Capt Marvel, or ROOM, or Short Term 12? no, she's the same bitter sad little girl who never learned she needs to earn things and getting mad at people who don't just give her everything is her fault.

I see this as the end of her career, thankfully.

On that note, Amber Heard's career is certainly over, after how she defamed Johnny Depp. Next:

She simply has the acting chops and emotions of soggy cardboard. If we hated strong women, we would hate Gamora, which we don't.

When the Direct obscures her lack of talent, you know they're not a serious publication. This is why movie actors and actresses become obscure in the end. That aside, I'd sure be happy if the whole Marvel franchise would just fold up; it's not worth all the bother and money, and the people involved have no genuine affection for the source material.
