That poor girl! Being indoctrinated into a cult of hatred and sexism and racism when she's too young to know better!
ETA: I forgot ageism; innit?

Mini-Brie showed more emotional range in two still images than Brie did in the entire first CM trailer...just saying.  |

Awww... what a nice photo-op with a little girl whose never heard of Captain Marvel before her mom decided to put her in that costume.
That little girl is waiting... for Frozen 2.
Wait until she finds out that the two previous ORIGINAL Captain Marvels were men, and that Ms. Marvel looked like this:

I tried the same thing but I was arrested. My costume was the same size as hers, so that may have thrown some people off.

Aw that's adorable. Don't get the hate over this picture. It is absolutely adorable. And its very nice of her to take a moment to do that. No hate whatsoever. I swear.
But its also a totally manufactured photo op, and I 100% guarantee that little girl had never even heard of Captain Marvel the day before they bought that costume for her to wear.
In that little girls room are posters of Frozen and maybe Moana. And when she dressed up last Halloween she probably wore a fairy princess costume. I'd bet money on it. She wasn't thinking "oooh, I want to dress up as Captain Marvel and beat up Skrulls!" No, she was singing "let it go!"
This character means more to the MALES that have been buying and reading her comic books for decades, IN OTHER WORDS ME, than it does to any little girl some producer invited to a screening for a photo op. I've actually spent money buying Captain Marvel comics for years. Do I get to chime in on any of that grrl power? Nah. I'm a dude.
When you take anything too far that's when it becomes nauseating. Cant this just be a good movie? Does it have to be a movement too? And before its even come out?!

You triggered, bro? A little I guess. I just made the point in another post that I've actually spent real money and time over the years following this character in the comics. This character means more to me than anyone in that picture. I know more about this character than anyone in that picture. And yes, just the same way that folks talk about Superman, Batman or Spiderman as being meaningful to them I have a sense of this character meaning something to me too.
But you're right. I'm gonna go kick myself in the balls and chill out now. LOL!

What I don't like is the disingenuous way that this movie is somehow more female ra ra grrl power than other comic book movies because they gave ten girls that happened to show up to hang outside the theatre some costumes to wear for a photo op.
I know more about Captain Marvel than anyone in that photo INCLUDING Brie Larson. I've spent more money on Cpatian Marvel than anyone in that photo.
Males, ME included, have been reading and buying that characters adventures for decades. Some of the people in that pic aren't even as old as the character! But all of a sudden its all about grrl power and forget about all the males who have supported the character in its original form for literally decades.
Its a little... I don't know if hypocritical is the right word, but it's something.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm going to see it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I just don't like the promotional aspect of all this. I don't really remember it being this over the top for Wonder Woman or Black Panther. There was some mention of socio-political significance, but not like this.

They are patting themselves on the back with this, aren't they? Honestly it's probably guilt-- well, maybe guilt is the wrong word because we all know it was Perlmutter alone. But they're definitely making up for the fact that they've been dragging their heels on making a solo female superhero flick. They want to say loud and clear, "See, we make stuff for women too!" Never mind that it only took 11 years and 20 films to get here. I'm with you, I've been a huge Captain Marvel (in all of her names) fan for a long time. I'm just worried they've put so much pressure on Brie and the character in general with this marketing campaign that it's going to seem like an absolute failure if it doesn't live up to the hype. Doctor Strange and Ant-Man for example are perfectly fine films. If Captain Marvel had been treated similarly in the marketing campaign and the film made a bit more at the BO, everyone wins. But you make such a big deal about how she's the future of the MCU, she's filling some niche that an enormous section of the audience has been starving for; it can go south in a heartbeat if you don't knock it out of the park.
