Smilegate?
I'm tuning in late to this part of the online conversation about the CM trailer. Truth be known, I didn't care that Brie Larson's character didn't smile in the trailer, as these first trailers are typically a quick tease and little else. I'm convinced we will see more of the character (and her moods) in future trailers.
What does intrigue me, is the response from viewers, SJW people and the actress herself. Does she have a point? Perhaps. It's likely that some psychological application of a double-standard for her versus a male super hero is happening. However I think that when you are portraying an MCU super hero, you need to be a bit understanding. People have expectations but let's be fair, Brie Larson isn't Paul Rudd. She doesn't have that kind of outgoing, fun personality. She's a subdued, kind of angry person (at least she comes across that way), yet for all we know that might be exactly the personality of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. And I'll admit to being somewhat predisposed to disliking her. Let's face it, she's not the most friendly of people. Given that strike against her, I still have faith in the guidance of Kevin Feige to get the best from her in the role. Guess we will see how her character translates via the big screen. I'm optimistic, if not initially enthused by the trailer.
We will see.
