Really hard for anyone to pull off arrogant jock when the writing and story is that bad

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

This is true, but the level of hate directed at Larrson around how unlikable her character was and the constraints it places on the story of her character arc are all down to that one choice.

If they made her likeable approaching the level as the big three, far more people would have enjoyed the film, and they would have had far more options when it comes to her character arc that would have improved the story.

It's sexist, but it is still true that women are not judged the same for men when it comes to displays of overt confidence

Plus Brie Larson has no charisma and comes off as arrogant by default. They should have recast her.
