Male Gaze Appetizer

For that she would need to actually be hot. She has the body of a 12 year old boy and a face for radio. Nobody is going to pay a dime to "gaze" at that.

Apparently she’s half-Israeli (but of course) and is very much on board with what has been happening over there lately, after October 7, so… Yeah.

That might be at least a “partial” explanation for that casting choice…

What does the woman's heritage have to do with it?

Because it's Hollywood, which tends to preserve a significant portion of its "best roles" for Jews. That's not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact, borne out by the fact that Jews in Hollywood are massively overrepresented at almost all levels.

Why is that relevant? Because in this case, this woman specifically supports Bibi's government, visits Israel on the reg, and is supportive of the current Gaza ethnic cleansing campaign...

And why is that relevant? Because, much though I'm not a huge fan of Hamas, I'm also not a fan of giving blank cheques/carte blanche to regimes to carry out what is almost indisputably ethnic cleansing and mass murder, to such an extent that we haven't seen outside Syria in more than a decade.

So yeah, "hero" my arse... That's why her "heritage" is relevant.

How is clearing out terrorists the same as mass murder? And the best most memorable roles in movies are usually reserved for white actors, Ryan Gosling, Leonardo Caprio to name a few.

Jews get to be “white” when it suits them, would be my counterpoint.

Robert Downey, ScarJo, Jennifer Connelly, Joaquin Phoenix, to name but a very small selection. So your point is moot.

33,000 terrorists, half of whom were women and children? Indiscriminately starving and bombing them to death, and deliberately slaughtering aid workers?

Don’t make me laugh. If anyone should be considered “terrorists”, after six months of this shit, it’s the government of the country you hold so dear.

You shouldn’t argue with that guy. He only responds to posts critical of Jews, and then “innocently” asks questions to try to get you to trip over one of the rules and get banned. He isn’t here in good faith.

Either that, or he’s an idiot. Either way you’re wasting your time.

They are white, im not sure what this means.

Hamas hides in residential areas, and the local population allows it. If the Gaza "people" dont like getting bombed, then they shouldn't house terrorists .

My guess: feminist power play with perhaps a sprinkling of male gaze appetizer. Similar as when Brie suddenly started showing her bosom in the promotional campaign for the 'Fast And Furious' franchise.

This Pedro movie is going to be as underwhelming as Eternals.

If there’s anyone’s tits that would appeal to me in a goddamn Fast and Furious movie (out of the remaining cast who are still alive, even), it wouldn’t be fucking Brie Larson, lol…

I guess that might appeal to some fans. But certainly not me.

Like, yeah, I guess she’s not hideous, but she’s so unlikeable, and at some point, that just becomes too much of a turnoff, imho…

Also not a huge fan of her acting “style”, such that it is.

Not many with disagree with you, including me. But she still tried to do the bimbo routine after she ruined her own reputation by showing her 'endearing' personality.

I will be the odd one out then and disagree. As obnoxious as she is, she does have some pretty nice tits. If the pics of her in the fappening leak are real anyway.

Apparently she's Quebecker (changed her name, which I had no idea about until a short time ago), with French as her first language and all...

Which explains both the decent tits, and, you might argue, the umm... "personality" lol...

Interesting that she chose an Anglicized Swedish stage name, though (in Sweden, Larsson is pretty damn common)...

We also have this chick (Britt Robertson, of Tomorrowland and such): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1429380/

Who is like dime store Brie Larson. Seems like a nicer, more stable individual, however.

I guess Brie has a nicer face, but otherwise they're remarkably similar, tbh...

In Scott Pilgrim Against the World, I actually liked Brie Larson's character. She also looked pretty good, from the waist up. Her problem is that she is extremely flat below that. She has no ass and no hips.

But yeah, I'd agree that as a person, she seems very unpleasant and unlikable.

She also has poor awareness and/or balance as there are bts clips of her falling off that stage in Scott Pilgrim when she's up with her band. Brandon Routh can even be seen trying to make a quick dash to catch her but she's too far from anyone for it to count.

Because Galactus never had any other heralds, least of all any female ones, right? Gotta pander to the normies who know fuck all about comics except the bare minimum, then butcher that further for THE MESSAGE.

Ugh, I just don't care about Marvel anymore. Even if they put a hot chick as the Silver Surfer so we get silver titties for the movie, I'd rather watch the porn parody as they'd have a better plot!

She didn’t appear as Surfer until 2016 comics. Also, it is a slam dunk to have the original surfer and then introduce other heralds.

– Devidose 5 points 2 years ago +5 / -0

Or better yet, stop using Galactus and his heralds, there are a lot of other options a FF story could go with but the studios are hellbent on using either Galactus/Silver Surfer or Doom.

No arguments there. I’m sure they would ruin Galactus anyway. There are years of great storylines but they just want to use the all new all different crap.

Will the fourth live action rendition of Fantastic Four finally be fantastic? Probably not...

(I actually didn't mind the Fox films from mid-2000s)

Doom was overused in the second and Galactus was handled even worse, but they were still good, cheesy films.

And I don't care what others think, practical effects for The Thing made for a better result than yet more bad cgi and actors looking at nothing or a floating tennis ball on a stick.

Oh yeah, I hated how they handled Galactus in Rise of the Silver Surfer.

And I agree on The Thing's make-up/effects, very believable to me even if a little odd.

Part of the problem with doing a Fantastic Four movie is the general audience knows fuck all about the series other than Doom and Galactus. In the four most recent movies of this family there will now be two+ that were about Doom and two that were about Galactus because nobody gives a shit about Mole Man, Puppet Master, Annihilus the Negative Zone and the Annihilation Wave, or any other FF villain.

The best thing a reboot should do is start small with a street level villain like Puppet Master because that not only let's the story introduce Alicia, but also permits mind control for the family to fight each other as the big draw of hero stories is always when they fight each other, not whatever villain is showing up this issue/week/event. That's why the first Avengers movie was as successful as it was, the team fight each other more than the villains, and mind control only happens for a few of those fights.

End the first film teasing the next while also escalating the threat, but for the sake of Stan Lee's mustache stop doing origin movies that also immediately jump to literal cosmic level threats. It just means everything that comes after is lackluster and the MCU shows this with everything that happens after Endgame and Thanos.

The cosmic thing I agree, the first point as well, but mind control and fighting each other? No thanks.

I think it is technically comic accurate that there was a female Silver Surfer at some point, but having any Silver Surfer in a Fantastic Four origin movie is an insane story decision to begin with.

Julia Garner is a hero in her own way but the movie looks generic. In any case she deserves the role

Why does she "deserve" the role..? Because she's Jewish, and shilled for Israel..? That seems to be your implication. How is she in any way a "hero", lol?

– bamboozler1 5 points 2 years ago +5 / -0

So why does she “deserve” it then..?

She’s not got a particularly great body, she doesn’t have a history with Marvel - what has she possibly done to “deserve” the role..?

The most notable thing she has made the news for recently is unapologetically shilling for the Israeli government. That is why it is relevant, here.

Her “Jewishness” is secondary. Jonathan Glazer is also Jewish, but he spoke out against what Israel is doing, and got promptly skewered by the press. That is the difference here…

You can be a Jew in Hollywood without shilling for Netanyahu at the same time. You just might get shit-canned for it...

Nobody 'deserves' a role where your contribution is standing naked. For all we know she just gave the best head on the castibg couch.
