'Captain Marvel' Star Brie Larson Says She's Tired Of White Men Dominating Film Criticism

[Lootpack]

She made a stir and she has a point of course...attacking white privilege again.

She's also slated to be the new leader of Phase 4 apparently.

Should be Spidey.

That's the point. You don't find it funny white women of all people are at the forefront of the "Women Have It Unfair" movement?

I can't name a damn thing that anyone but white men have over white women. And white women still have dads, brothers, husbands, granddads, etc.

Keep falling for this feminist con that this is about equality for all women.

That's why I wrote the second half of that sentence.

The Bird Revelation is the best comedy special I've ever seen

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

But she has benefited from white privilege too. :nicki:

Just ask her black actress peers.

Brie is an oscar award winning actress. On set and off set.

She is Team Marvel.Owned by the same company (Disney) that owns Wrinkle and Time.

Is it ironic she singled out that movie in particular?

Black actors and actresses, directors have been vocal for years, decades. Oscars so white wasn't too long ago.

Wasn't just white men who were reaping the benefits.

White women speak up and well....

This. Captain marvel about to get 100% on RT

If a movie is ass it's ass.

Me I call it like I see it.

I'm pretty confident from a bird's eye view everyone could tell A Wrinkle In Time looked like

 

[Bleed The Freak]

She's saying the exact same thing most people on this board say every time a black movie is low-balled on RT. Who cares what her motivations are, her voice on this issue may start something.

I'm not saying she's not on point and yes there are biased critics but...

When films are well made by black directors and deserved to be acclaimed

Boyz N The Hood
Menace
Fruitvale
Selma
I can't say Moonlight shyt was ASS
Black Panther

Critics gave the accolades those films deserved.

Bottom line make good movies. Or box office hits if not critically acclaimed ( F. Gary Gray)

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

The movie critic game is dominated by a bunch of Tobias Funke look a likes that compare everything to the original Star Wars

No way that's happening.

My problem with RT is the review sites they let count towards the RT score. And with those review sites, you have people that don't even like certain genres of movies reviewing movies they don't like which is ridiculous in itself.

I don't know who this Brie Larson is but I'm not defending her. Yes it's mostly white male critics who review films but it doesn't stop women reviewing films on Tumblr, YouTube etc. The problem is that some of the reviews are looked at through a feminist lens. Which is nice when you are preaching to the choir, but off putting to the general public.

I haven't thought about Captain Marvel since the 90s when Rogue stole her soul. So I am not enthused about the movie.

I watch black on black cinema on YouTube to critique black films

This.

I'll never understand why Metacritic is never mentioned or why RT doesn't advertise the Top Critics score.

I just look at the avg rating and keep it moving

 

[Primetime]

Black Panther got a 97% on rotten tomatoes
A+ cinemascore
92% on google users
88% on metracrtic

But only 7.5/10 from imdb

I don't know about a Wrinkle in Time or Brie Larson, but I'd like an official investigation launched on the reviewer qualifications and overall cac-levels of imdb ASAP!
