    My two cents, this argument is complete dung and is PC numbskullery.

    However in the interests of research, I have researched Brie Larson's behind and find that it is a level 8 on the dingdong scale of behinds.

    That's too short to be a double for Brie, who is at least 5' 7". Must be for someone else. Johansson maybe.

    My money's on Sam Jackson. He wore a long trenchcoat in his previous appearances. Maybe in this film it'll be revealed he got an ass that won't quit.

    Edit: Wait... Sam Jackson isn't 5' 4" either. Never mind...

    In all seriousness though, it's quite possible that due to the nature and abilities of some of the enemies in the movie (
    shape-shifting aliens
    ), it's not out of the question that Brie Larson may need a body double for some scenes.

    Zachary Levi is giving impressionable young body conscious boys a terrible message with his padded muscle suit in Shazam as well.

    A padded suit is one thing, but pretending that someone else butt is yours is another, especially if you put yourself forward as a feminist icon.

    I am not being willfully ignorant. Its extremely reasonable for me to expect people to back up their points and not just tell me to 'google it'.

    This has to be one of the saddest attempts to be outraged I've seen. Did you just register on the site to post how outraged you are that you seen something somewhere on the internet that may or may not be what you are claiming it to be?

    See now my issue with this is that you have set your stall out as not being able / wanting to back up what you say; instead expecting others to convince themselves of what you are saying.....

    So will you give us examples of her putting herself forward like this?

    Better yet;

    Will you give us examples of her swearing never to use a double because of her feminist beliefs?

    Even better still:

    Will you show us how having a stunt double that looks like her is the things you say it is?

    I doubt the answer to any of these is yes.

    I'm starting to think its racism that stops Tom Cruise using Terry Crews as a body double.

    Captain Marvel has jumped the first hurdle of being well received by verified Twitter heads who have seen it, with particular praise for Larson.

    she is no Wonder Woman

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Have to say all credit to Marvel if the early reactions can be taken at their word. CM has spent a long time on the development road and they had to take criticism along the way over the lack of female representation.

    They dicked around with Black Widow and were fortunate to strike gold with Shuri, but it looks like they hit a home run here.

    As sure as the sun sets in the ... *googles* west, Twitter early reviews are surely hyperbolic.

    Yeah but better positive hyperbole than negative hyperbole though?

    Both as bad as each other really, and at least negative hyperbole can result in the happiness of exceeded expectations, the reverse tends to lead to disappointment and griping about how XYZ wasn't as good as promised.

    I can't remember a movie getting bad social media reviews, even if it turned out to be bad.

    If they let you see it a month before everyone else it comes with the unwritten rule to be positive about the movie.

    This and Ant Man and the Wasp I had 0 interest in. Ant Man and the Wasp backed up my feelings by being one of Marvels worst (in my opinion). Can't imagine a character who is horrifically boring in the comics will be of much entertainment on the screen. Maybe I will end up eating my words.

    Indeed. It's all about how the 'review' is phrased in a 280 character tweet. When the reviewer uses non-committal words like 'different', 'not what I expected, but good for fans of the franchise', 'fans won't be disappointed', or focus on things like 'great special effects', 'a great soundtrack', etc., you can be almost guaranteed the film will receive a lukewarm or a middling aggregated critics' score.

    The people on social media invited to these premieres aren't going to bite the hand that feeds their social media profile/job. Particularly, when the people 'reviewing' on social media aren't from the big publishers or names in the business, like the Guardian or Variety or Empire.

    Uh oh.. I see my first 'blast!' in a review..
    I noticed around the time that Solo's early reviews came out that it was consistantly referenced with 'this movie is a blast!' in a lot of reviews.
    As best as I can ascertain, 'it's a blast!' seems to be a polite euphamism for 'noisy garbage'.


    I doubt you can expect much better from the official reviews either, now that the Fox/Disney merger is going ahead, Disney will be responsible for 40% of all movies hitting the theater this year.... issue a bad review at your own cost I'd say...

    Ignore first reaction twitter reviews. It's mainly people who are just giddy at being at premiere.

    Even Batman vs Superman had glowing reviews along the lines of;

    "Unlike anything i've ever seen. My brain literally melted and started pouring out of my nostrils. This is a milestone in filmaking."

    Pure hyper bowl

    They don't call themselves influencers for nothing. When Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gives it 5 stars then I'll know it's not that great.
