It's good these women are coming out with their stories, but most of them harrassed then blocked Lexi Alexander on Twitter for calling Max Landis a misogynistic piece of shir years ago.

I don’t think I heard about the Landis stuff before he was on RLM.

Yeah, his video with them was well before I had personally heard any of the rumblings about him being an abusive prick. And they've done nothing with him since and (as already posted) went out of their way to scrap planned content that was going to feature him again.

Then you were lucky, he's been creepy forever. 2 years ago ago Bright screenwriter accused of sexual assault. 4 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmbUEYYMZG4 There's a loving weird as hell interview with him from even earlier where he basically admits to all of the behavior he's been accused of but I can't find it.

You never really got the impression that they were actually that friendly with Max Landis. They were still perfectly willing to poo poo on him even before he got outed as a sex pervert and while he was producing content with them.

Lexi Alexander loving owns, I didnt know people tried to hush her up about this. I still recall Lexi doing a Spartacus thing to protect the true writers of a "bad people in Hollywood" list so she still has more guts than most.

I've tried to watch those guys reviews before and I don't get the draw, the reviews are like 45 minutes long, you really need half the run time of the movie to tell me if it's good or not? No thanks.

There are tons of actors who act that way, including Marvel/Disney actors. Harrison Ford is famous for not giving a poo poo in promoting his films.

I mean, her performance was awful, too. Not wanting to promote a movie is fine but she gave me real Jennifer Lawrence clearly wishing she wasn't in X-Men teas while watching it. It's only an issue if the actor seems disdainful for what they made overall. Promoting movies seems like it blows and some people are better at pretending they want to be there than others.

Larson was very clear that she was utterly confused by the character she was supposed to play, because she shot Endgame before she did Captain Marvel, yet apparently Endgame basically has her established with almost no exposition, so she was clueless and begging for help from the Russos and the writers of Captain Marvel.

I've no doubt that whole situation was a hot mess (they do that a lot, iirc Gwyneth Paltrow had no idea she was even in Spider-Man: Homeoming), and I think the script was rather weak as well. But Larson is imo and incredibly talented actress and I expected her to be able to lift it more, I guess? to me it just felt like she wasn't very into being a superhero.

All the scenes with Larson and Sam Jackson were great, she has no sceenes with him in endgame so she's not as good.

I mean, Endgame she's trying to keep peace, investigate what happened, keeps things stable on numerous planets, so it makes sense that she isn't as jovially as she is in Capt. Marvel.

Endgame seems like it was at times like, literally a counter-productive working environment for an actor. Just last week it was revealed that a lot of the crew thought the funeral at the end was a wedding during filming, and I'm almost certain Tom Holland made a comment a couple of months ago about how the Russo's wouldn't even tell him what he was fighting as he bopped around in front of a green screen. Like what are you even supposed to hold onto for a performance in a situation like that?

Holy poo poo, the guy who publically stalked a woman director, begging her to have a conversation with him is a giant loving creep? It's another good example of how good we are as a culture at ignoring red flags.

I've always thought it was weird that stalking anyone famous is apparently totally fine and not problematic in the slightest because of some paper thin bullshit about them "thrusting themselves into the public eye"(rights for public figures), whatever the gently caress that means. Like because their job is to act on television that some how logically translates to gently caress their privacy and rights to not be constantly followed around and harassed by weirdos. Makes perfect sense.

There's an interview with Larson around CAPTAIN MARVEL where she's asked about diversity I think, and she answers that she's proud to be "part of the normalisation of this type of content" and it felt like the most buzzwordy nonsense. It's not even human speech, it feels like it's generated by an algorithm somewhere.

But yeah, that wedding/funeral confusion sounds dumb. I imagine it was an insanely strained production, to the point where the directors don't have time for the actors anymore.

As for Brie Larson, I guess in her defense all that stuff she said during the Captain Marvel promotion could've been talking points the studio put her up to saying. It wouldn't really surprise me. I'm really more annoyed at Woke Capitalism than I am at Brie Larson.

They also shot both films back to back, which meant a very stressful production for everyone involved. You know those red and white suits they have to wear at one point? Those were fully CGI. They filmed the scene before they had even decided on a design, so they just wore the costumes they'd be changing back into and had perfectly photorealistic suits digitally applied over them. Also goes to show just how much money and manpower the studio is willing to throw at the movies that they can use "Just replace everything with CGI so perfect that you can't tell it's fake" as a solution to not having costumes ready.
