My take on Captain Marvel drama

It's mostly unfounded...I mean, it's clear to see what peoples gripes are with the little we've seen.

The main actress seems to have one face and one face alone, boredom.

A lot of the more outspoken people seem to think people are saying "She should smile more" and taking on a sexism argument...the problem is she doesn't seem to emote enough...I think she smirked at one point but that's about it?

I mean, if Marvel fans were really that sexist then why are characters like Black Widow so popular? Or Scarlet Witch, Maria Hill? There are other female marvel characters out there that are popular because the actresses playing them have given them depth. Even a character like Gamora who is rarely seen as happy in these films is still pretty popular.

I think my point here is not everything is about sexism or racism and such, sometimes things can be as simple as she doesn't seem all that into the role...I'm sure if a male character was played the same way he'd get hate for it too.

Still, this is my opinion and you should feel free to challenge or agree with it, it is a free country(website?) after all...

Maybe we should see the movie first

@SW-User That's a good outlook to have, but even trailers should be open to criticism.

@Fangirlsarah1996 I really liked the trailer and didn't even notice this "criticism". Sometimes I think people just want to look for problems.

@SW-User It's not hard to see when you know it's there.

It's just a lot of people didn't think she really emoted in the trailer and are worried it'll translate into the full film.

This is especially troubling in Marvel's first real female led film...

@Fangirlsarah1996 People have been complaining that MCU movies are too "funny" and now they want to complain that she isn't smiling? It's ridiculous. I have no worries about this movie, it looks great.

@SW-User They're not complaining she's not smiling, they're complaining because she's not emoting.

You can have a serious movie with a wide range of emotions that don't include humour you know.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Either way it's still complaining.
