If I'm not mistaken, it was Rebecca Ferguson who almost got cast as Captain Marvel, not Emily Blunt. She was supposed to be Black Widow. IMO, they both would have been better suited for their respective roles than the actors we ended up with. Rebecca Ferguson would've been great. Much more believable as an action hero.

You could literally do that with any actor from any film. You people are hilarious. When they aren't complaining about Marvel movies having too much comedy, they're complaining that the hero doesn't smile enough. Yep. There's a lot of retards here that think they can judge an actor's performance based on 30 seconds of footage with no context.

I don't know if he regrets not hiring her specifically, but there seems to be quite the backlash against Brie Larson. A healthy chunk of fans really seem to dislike her.

I don’t know if ya’ll read Carol Danvers comic books, but Emily Blunt would not have been a better Captain Marvel, IMO.
She’s one of my favorite characters and Brie Larson is pretty well suited for the role. The only other person I can think of that might have been better would’ve been Natalie Dormer.
Emily Blunt (or Rebecca Ferguson) should play Sue Storm.

That I've heard almost no one mention, but you're right. She's an Oscar winning actress. *Waits for inevitable comments about how her win was undeserved.

She wouldn't have alienated or pissed a high percentage of the audience. My guess is that the movie would still be tracking at $140 million+ opening weekend, if Blunt or any other suitable actress has been cast in the role. A massive overestimation. Captain Marvel is tracking higher (further, faster) than most superhero debuts. How did she alienate or pee-off a high percentage of the audience? Did I miss something? I mean, there was some initial griping I heard when the trailer hit, because people didn't like her lack of smiling (which the actress brilliantly turned around- cause Steve Rogers/etc. didn't do a lot of smiling in the initial trailers for their movies- I think THOR is the only one that had the lead smile much in the first trailer, and Thor is a giant puppy, so...), then there was some stuff about how high pitched her voice is so people were griping that she wasn't terribly sexy (which I mean, Really? Of all the things you could choose to whine about?) and it didn't sound like the other actresses in the MCU. But it hardly seemed like a high percentage. It just seemed like a few fanboys/fangirls who were miffed over pointless little things. So I'm genuinely confused and curious, as to how/why she supposedly ticked off/aliened the fanbase/audience. Is there some interview she did? Or is there some trailer/clip I missed where she is like, "Well, I hate puppies"? PS: I'm a fan of Emily Blunt, and wouldn't have minded seeing her in the role. She wouldn't have been my top pick, nor was the actress who did get the role.

It's based on the tracking reports that came out prior to the big media push and subsecuent backlash over some of her comments/attitude and the drop in the most recent tracking reports, some places were tracking CM as opening up to $180m opening weekend in the North America, 2 weeks ago and some places are tracking it as low as $100m this week, the theory is her attitude turned 45% of the audience off of the movie.
daft as a fucking brush idea but some will have em, personanly I don't think it matters much who plays the character.

I personally haven't watched any interviews with her, so .... what attitude? All I've seen was a quick behind the scenes thing with her on the set of KONG: SKULL ISLAND and I think I may have read an interview or two of hers from ROOM, but honestly, I had no idea who she was before she was cast as Carol Danvers, so I don't know anything about her. What did she do that so ticked people off, and they are blaming for the drop in estimated pre-sales numbers?

She (and her political views) are probably the most news-worthy things happening in the cbm world at the moment.

I did a scroll through her twitter, lots of MCU stuff of course, her in ugly clothes, comments about the whole TIMES UP movement, and retweets of things from people promoting representation on screen of people who aren't heterosexual, white, and able-bodied. Still not-seeing why she would be alienated the audience. Maybe it is something she's doing that doesn't strike me as terrible, so that's why I don't see it.

Unfortunately, it appears there is no outrage too small to inflame the "RWMW"* crowd. (The most delicate of snowflakes, a female superhero violates their code of right wing political correctness.)

It's her latest less white men thing, I tried posting twice but things keep fucking up and what I right keeps getting lost so im just going to be brief, she said something good in theory but dumb in execution, she cames across too self congratulatory for something she simply demanded and others have to do the work to achieve, after which she does nothing extra but wants the praise, it's not just a single issue but because she does this stuff kind of regular, she's the annoying friend who turns a how good is this pizza convo into a debate about fair trade and underpaid migrant workers.
If you agree or disagree with her it's not hard to believe some find her attitude a turn off, she really should just stick to promoting the movie until it's released, once it is and it makes more domestically in one weekend than her average film makes globally in it's entire run then she can talk all she wants, she'll have the biggest hit in her career behind her and Endgame 2 months away, she'll have all the chances she could dream to spout her ideology, but best wait till after doing so cant possibly negatively effect this movie, because if it fails she's the lead who killed the MCU's streak.

I've noticed that the NBA is overwhelmingly Black. That must be an indication of racism. Yeah, that's how deep her thinking is.
But it won't stop me or anyone else from going to the movie.

Somehow I find it hard to believe that you looked her up and didn't find any news article about her controversies. I typed in "Brie Larson" just now in a google search and some of the first hits I got were: "Captain Marvel review bombed as trolls misinterpret Brie Larson's 'men' comments" "Brie Larson is forcing Marvel to become GHOSTBUSTERS 2016" "Captain Marvel: The Brie Larson controversies affecting the boxoffice" "Why are people MAD at Brie Larson" etc. But if you really want to narrow it down, just do a search for "Brie Larson backlash". You should easily find articles that describe the controversy then. Even better if you do it on youtube.

Why the f**k is DC-Fan even liking the original post? He wouldn’t care less if it had any different actress; he’d still bash the movie.
But to answer your question, maybe not.

I think at this point, I've gotten so accustomed to people spouting their ideology without having enough polish to it to make it sound good, that it doesn't make a dent anymore. Heck, one of my closest friends is a guy who has a lot of good beliefs, but he has a very bad habit of sounding super arrogant and very much a Know It All when he tries to explain it.

Yeah seems to be mostly this, some people just have that way about them, some can insult your family, mock your hair and threaten to physically assault you and you come away from it thinking my god what a charming person, others can compliment your fashion sense and leave you feeling like 10 lbs of shit in a 5lb sack and that they may have murdered someone.
