Random: Brie Larson Says She's More Than Happy To Be In An Animal Crossing Movie

What a bizarre article...

I honestly wouldn't watch any movie with Brie Larson again.

Why is this site so obsessed with BL?

@Silly_G Good question. Also why do some commenters love to hate her equally. I could care less either way about her. It's bizarre.

Nobody wants Brie anywhere near anything wholesome. She can’t even fake empathy and kindness.

@NIN10DOXD : Those who want to follow her every move can just follow her on Twitter. I'm frankly sick of articles popping up every time she mentions anything Nintendo-related. And NL knows full well how divisive she is and the bloodbath that will inevitably follow.

@Polenko your anger towards her is unjustified and frankly ridiculous. Focus your energies on something productive instead.

I'll never understand why actors/actresses are constantly sought for input into issues that have nothing to do with acting.
Makes about as much sense as reporting on the opinions of your local butcher and taxi driver.

@BenAV Animal Crossing The Movie: Television Terror. Directed By David Cronenberg with spfx by Rob Bottin and Rick Baker. Coming soon.

@NihilistNirvana she is pretty divisive in terms of the things she has said, and kinda invites it. If you say a lot of controversial stuff publicly using a massive platform then it’s not completely shocking that she gets some push back.

I would prefer that people just ignore her and stories about her but that is just not the world we live in.

Nice to see a celebrity gamer, But God would a live action animal crossing film would be Uuuggglllyyyy. Maybe a CGI film at best

@Nehalem what she said is hardly controversial; the trolls disparaging her are just proving her right though. People need to stop obsessing over her and just get on with their lives and maybe be less toxic? Just my two cents.

@Nehalem I will agree with you that celebrity gossip articles are idiotic though. People ought to invest in being more productive and focus far less on the nonsensical, methinks.

@NihilistNirvana Stuff she has said is at worst dumb and at best in good faith. It's crazy that difference opinion is leading people to get upset that she plays the same games they do.

@NIN10DOXD it’s pretty hilarious to see people get riled up, not gonna lie. Schadenfreude at its best.

Some users here : Wah Wah Brie Larson, Grumble Grumble Brie Larson... 🙄

Me : Her clothes looks cute with Tom Nook ACNH outfits. 🙂

No Brie please

@NihilistNirvana I don’t really like super hero movies but didn’t she say that men should not critically review her movie, only women? Anyway, I really don’t care about her but she seems like a bit of an Hollywood activist and i feel like that will always open you up to some criticism. It’s always a little hard taking actors too seriously given that they live on a completely different planet than the rest of us.

@Nehalem they definitely live on a different planet, that is for darn sure. 😂

@NihilistNirvana No, she's said some pretty controversial stuff. One instance had her saying that a movie she made was name designed for a group of men of a certain race so she didn't want to hear criticisms from them. She's also part of this new feminism that puts men down in order to make women look better.

She also didn't do a very good job in captain marvel.

I'm happy she likes animal crossing though, she's has good taste in games, at least.

@Kalmaro you do realize her character in the title role was supposed to have suppressed emotions and be socially awkward right? As for her comments- who cares? Everyone has an opinion, what makes hers so especially caustic? -shrugs- move on, folks...

Wow Nintendolife. You're just begging for a flame war to start.

Am I missing something? Did Brie Larson do or say something bad? Why does it seem people hate her?

Anyways, it’s pretty common for video games sites to report when celebrities are fans of certain games. Maybe she can bring awareness about the game to people who wouldn’t otherwise be interested or know about it.

@BoyfriendOfDeath can I just say that I love your avatar and may I ask where you found it?

@Kalmaro I'm numb to celebrities saying dumb stuff honestly. Since everything they say is public, you can find the dirtiest gold from any of them if you look hard enough. I just don't think the comments on this site will change her mind or soften her approach to certain issues regardless as unfortunate as it is.

@BenAV : I imagine that a Hollywood-produced Animal Crossing movie would look a lot like Cats (2019).

@NihilistNirvana If opinions don't matter then why do you care that I'm expressing mine? Isn't telling me to move on contradictory?

What made her comments bad was that she was bringing race and sex up in a situation that didn't call for it.

@Supadav03 She is very abrasive in her delivery of her opinions, so some people do not like her.

@NIN10DOXD I'm not too bothered by her, I'm glad she likes the game. My issues with her lies in her horrible attitude and just being bad in captain marvel. Apart from that, she's just another celebrity to me.

@Kalmaro Now that you mention it. I also remember when she accused people who didn't like the last adaption of "A Wrinkle in Time" being upset that the lead actress was a child of color.

@Kalmaro Captain Marvel was already kind of a weak character even without her betrayal, but then again Marvel studios made even more obscure properties work.

@Kalmaro I really couldn’t care less what she says, bub.

@NIN10DOXD Yeah, she said that she didn't make the movie for white men or some nonsense like that and didn't want to hear from them. She's also mentioned that she has issues with men in general.

Which is fine, she's entitled to her opinions, just like I'm entitled not to like her for said opinions. Her portrayal of Cpt Marvel was frustrating to me thanks to just a general lack of emotion. It was hard to care about her since she acted as if she was already awesome and was just being held back by everyone, which the movie then validates.

@NihilistNirvana That's perfectly fine.

@Kalmaro agreed.

@Supadav03

She didn’t do anything wrong. She gave an opinion that didn’t gel with incel “gamers”, that’s all. Imagine getting so triggered by a celebrity you don’t agree with that you go on an article you supposedly don’t care about and support it by clicking, just to comment that you don’t care.

Oh good lord NintendoLife? Why do you do this? You KNOW full well that there are countless people out there with a vicious unrestrained hatred for this woman. Every time you or anyone else mentions her, it starts a flame war!

@Phostachio -slow claps- well said.

Great shirt!

Animal Crossing movie? A cartoon one maybe?

@Kalmaro sorry if I came across as rude. Cabin fever from this quarantine has got me on pins and needles.

Hopefully if she does eventually act in an AC movie, I hope it's in a voice acting role. An animated AC movie might be good, while a live action AC movie would be... weird.

Brie Larson is vile and knowing she plays the game makes me want to throw my copy in the trash!

@Heavyarms55 And why should NintendoLife bow to the whims of internet trolls? If they get so upset by an article about a celebrity that plays Nintendo games -the kind of article that this site has been doing for a long time now with quite a few different celebrities, btw- that's their problem.

I am going to bite and take this clear comment and flame-war bait and say: I don't think much of Brie Larson. I have not seen a good performance from her and find some of her sociopolitical commentary to be deluded and prejudiced. I think everyone is entitled to an opinion, so if you like her- good for you. I might go look for a Brie Larson filter for chrome now, bye.

@Dezzy "I'll never understand why actors/actresses are constantly sought for input into issues that have nothing to do with acting.
Makes about as much sense as reporting on the opinions of your local butcher and taxi driver."

Why are their views any different or less valid to yours? They can be an actor, butcher, taxi driver or any profession and still be a gamer. I'm a teacher and have been a gamer for over 30 years now. What is your profession?

God I love Brie Larson. Every time she speaks it helps us see which members of this community are so goddamn insecure. Newsflash, if what she has said in the past about a certain group of men has offended you, maybe take a look at yourself and your behaviour to find out why. As a straight white man I found none of her comments insulting in any way.

As for Captain Marvel, people really have a hard time understanding how a woman was abducted and brainwashed into being a ruthless Skrull killing machine with surpressed emotions. I thiught her performance was fine even though the movie was about as good as any other solo Marvel movie. It was better than The Incredible Hulk, Captain America The First Avenger, Thor Dark World, and Iron Man 3 though.

@Kochambra Because these comment sections are cesspools of horribleness. It's like going to a birthday party and starting a political or religious debate.

@NihilistNirvana No harm done. This virus has got everyone on edge :

They are running out of ways to make her relevant.

I HATE BRIE LARSON!! She is the devil, because she apparently said something I donˋt like! I also donˋt buy Animal Crossing anymore, because she likes it! Also her acting skills sucks and she has herpes!! 👶👶👶

I haven't seen Captain Marvel yet, because Disney's Marvel movies are all the same, but I love her. Celebrities are always going to be dragged through the mud for having a strong opinion.

@Trikeboy "Why are their views any different or less valid to yours?"

They're not.
That's the point.
People don't care about the personal opinions of entertainers, they dislike the entertainers being looked upon as an authority figure or moral arbiter and touted as such by the media.
Unless they run for office or use their station to collaborate with campaigning and policy-making, their opinions certainly don't hold any more or less weight than your own.

"God I love Brie Larson. Every time she speaks it helps us see which members of this community are so goddamn insecure. Newsflash, if what she has said in the past about a certain group of men has offended you, maybe take a look at yourself and your behaviour to find out why. As a straight white man I found none of her comments insulting in any way."

I don't know exactly what she said and I don't care.
From what I gather though, going out of your way to insult and finger-wag people who criticize a celebrity in turn for criticizing them, whether you personally feel it was warranted or not, certainly says a lot about you.
And so I ask you: "Why are their views any different or less valid than hers?"

Love her character.
And to see her fan reaction just like any other.
Nintendo Games brings the good child character in us out.

no idea who this woman is, can somebody update me on why should we care and what she did to upset everyone?

@BenAV I'd see the "Butthole Cut" of the Animal Crossing movie.

@Lordplops It's ironic. You hating on the staff of the website because they put something you didn't like. I'd say you're the one who need to grow up.

Are we still complaining because of the comment she made about screenings needing more diversity? Because that was really blown out of proportions by the internet.

Or are we hating her for entirley new reasons?

She's just stating her love for the series. God.... is this comment section becoming the new IGN?

@NIN10DOXD @Silly_G they're so obsessed with her exactly because a lot of people get riled up about her. It's sad, but they know a lot of people will feel strongly about her, and generate more clicks and comments in return.

Sexy Nook.

That is all.

@NIN10DOXD So how much do you care at this moment, given that you are capable of caring less than you current do?

@fafonio you are only reinforcing my point.

Never heard of her before

Would love Brie to be in an Animal Crossing movie, she'd be perfect for the role. Stay strong Brie, just ignore the haters.

When she learns how to smile and doesn't act like an emotionless robot anymore we can talk about it.

She already hurt badly one big franchise, no need to hit another one

@Lordplops no, Im not.

@BenAV What? You didn't think Cats was an absolute masterpiece?

"She also talked to Doug Bowser"
If twitter isn't swallowing half the replies again, Bowser didn't react to her reply.
Therefore, i also talked to a hell of a lot of famous and important people...

What a weird article about celebrity shilling...

These are the comment sections where you get to see who hates women. Take note!

@fafonio I criticise the website for writing an article with the sole intention of garnering a negative response and get the people attacking each other in the comments section, something I think is not particularly needed at this present time. Your response is to immediately attack me, thinking I am the one in the wrong for voicing an opinion, and also perhaps feeling that my response has something to do with the subject matter/actress in the article (it doesn't). It's nothing to do with what's been written, it's why it has and for what purpose. How many times has this already been covered? Are there other actors who like this game? Probably. But then Michael J Fox wouldn't get people frothing at the mouth, would he? So yes, you reacting the way you have serves only to reinforce my point: they just want us sniping at each other and the easiest way to do that is to drop something like this on here and sit back and watch the fun.

@Crockin these are the comments sections where that is impossible as too many sock puppets come out to keep things spicy.

@Dirty0814

So edgy

I just see: 'Cheese, male offspring of common gibbon'. Good name, very viking.

@Silly_G

Because she a celebrity who is into gaming

I have not seen many films with brie larson ,but so far it bin 50/50 for me. I think she is an terrible captain marvel but like her in kong.

I dont get the hate for Brie Larson, honestly

@Corleonis88 I don't remember her excact words, but she said something along the lines of she does not care about white mens opinion about a movie she starred in before Captain Marvel. And people have been grumpy about it since then. Maybe she has said more stuff afterwards, but that is what I know about it.

Whoop de doo, NLife baits fascists for clicks again.

@BenAV Exactly... that´s why it won´t be a live action one (if there´s one in the works in the future)

NO. Thank. You. I don't want political activists in escapism movies.

And then she'll say Animal Crossing isn't for white men or something stupid like that.

She honestly just gets better <3

@NihilistNirvana She had a bad opinion (much like you with your comment) and others responded (like me to your comment.) It's called "the discourse" and you can't shut it down. You don't get to decide who can and can't speak on a certain issue. If it bothers you that much, you could choose to abstain from conversation entirely, but that's up to you.

I like Larson. Don’t see why little boys get their tidy whities in a bunch every time she’s mentioned.

Rather have an article a day about her, then those about cringey games of thirteen-year-old anime girls playing beach volley ball or whatever.

@Lordplops this is a paid sponsorship. It’s being posted around the internet. Why wouldn’t a Nintendo site pick it up?

@Toy_Link would it? They’d probably go the full cgi animal village route and drop the furry angle. More like Winnie the Pooh

Would you say thats what "she said?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bvYRlv7XCw

Oh, God. Not this again. People taking statements an actress once, a long time ago, said in an interview, taking them out of context, and then completely them into something she never even said, and then blaming her for their own ineptitude.

Also, a LOT of people apparently not understanding that her depiction of Captain Marvel was actually quite appropriate and good, because it is SUPPOSED to be an emotionally inept and aloof character. That is actually true for the ENTIRE Kree race.

If you try to formulate an intelligent response to an article, and you're trying to express yourself about her and her acting skills, at LEAST do your damn homework, people.

@NihilistNirvana @Phostachio Well, glad to see at least two sensible people in this thread. Too bad that the comments of spiteful people get the most likes instead of yours. They get SO worked up over one thing she once supposedly said, that they'll still be hanging on to that even if NLife is going to post an article on Brie in about ten years from now, because you know, you HAVE to hold on to the past, and never forgive/forget a human for something stupid he or she might have said in a totally unimportant interview...

Also funny how these individuals keep stating that the people who AREN'T angry at her, are the divisive ones that keep the argument going, instead of thinking to themselves that it might be better for the peace and tranquility of this site if THEY stop commenting and flinging their useless brain farts into these Brie-related comments sections every damn time...

@LordPlops Well, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Doug Bowser himself addressed her and not Michael J. Fox, and as such, making it relevant Nintendo related news to report on? Really nothing for people to get so worked up over, methinks...

Oh, and no offense, but the sock puppets are actually the individuals that keep rehashing their tired "I hate Brie" mantra, every damn time they see an article about her. Don't like it, why not ignore it or refrain from commenting? It's actually the haters that incite this whole comments section war, not the other way around.

I recommend watching "United States of Tara". Great show. And she's perfect in it.

@Silly_G someone on the staff probably has a fanboy crush.

@Juga she was barely in that movie, she knocked nothing. get over it

@JSDude1 this is a paid partnership sponsor thing with her and Nintendo.

I guess I could see her playing Isabelle or a human villager. Hopefully this movie would be animated and not live-action.

Loved her as Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim. Maybe her high watermark for me. But please, no Animal Crossing movie. We don't even have a decent Mario movie out yet.

@Timppis Not really. Larson is just not a actor I care for. She played a horrible captain marvel and would bomb any other movie she was the star of.

@Polenko Were you intending your comment, which makes no attempt to even fake empathy or kindness, to be so ironic?

@Dirty0814 "not a actor in are for"

??????????????????????

@qwertyasdf too long; didn’t read. 😂

@ThanosReXXX very well said, Thanos. Loved you in the latest Avengers films. Big fan of what you did to half the universe. If you had the opportunity, would you do it again? /s. Seriously though- thanks for your great input. Good to see more sensible folk like yourself on the interwebtubenet.

A live action adaptation would just be Cats Part 2. I don't want it but also want it.

Peeps b simpin

@Juga well you lost all credibility referring to looks as a reason to like her, not a good excuse

Isabelle as Captain Marvel fanart when?

In the movie, she can be Tom Nook's daughter.

I would be happy if Brie Larson was in nothing.

@NihilistNirvana Well, suffice to say that I'd definitely do a mini-snap on some of the usual suspects here. You can literally do a projection or an "all you can win" bingo concerning who will be making negative comments and when. Another nice divisive one is Pokémon articles. Also good for a lot of hate and toxicity...

@ThanosReXXX very well said, good sir. I stand with ye.

It seems like she is one of those celebrities who ruined her reputation with the public, I don't know why they keep pushing articles about her.

@SmileMan64 I don’t know how to plug in images into the comments here yet but if you google that, you’ll find some on the first page.

@Crockin I hope you are kidding....
She is a men hater (or at least white men hater) and overall not a likable person
If someone don’t like it, it doesn’t make him women hater

@NihilistNirvana If you want to post images, just put the link of an image in between this command line:

[ img ]link to picture here[ / img ]

Remove all the spaces in between the sets of brackets to make it work.
I had to place spaces now to show you what to do.

@ThanosReXXX thanks, Thanos. Will do that after work, today. Appreciate it.

Edit- some reason I’m unable to post said image. Curses!

For some reason I can’t post further comments at this time. Will post if I’m able to do so later.

EDIT EDIT- https://66.media.tumblr.com/a131c5f060f010105e535e68ff28cd38/a155813a8571f6ca-b5/s400x600/537ad9188e202833d71037b716c8d4cb3b3e022d.png

@NihilistNirvana Ah... working in the weekends.
I do NOT envy you...

And you're welcome.

@NihilistNirvana Can you post the entire link?

As an alternative, you could save the picture on your PC or laptop, then upload it to a site like PostImage (https://postimages.org/), and copy the resulting "Direct link" to use in the command line I showed you earlier.

@ThanosReXXX You don't get to blame others for keeping the argument going when you make several comments contributing toward it. I agree that it'd be best if people stopped arguing about this but others are entitled to state their opinions just as you are to state yours.

@Tantani not kidding😎😎😎

@NihilistNirvana Why certainly. My profile pic came from a cartoonish Marvel comics line called "What The--?!". In one issue, Thanos kills everyone in the entire universe to woo Death herself. Then he goes to Death and begs her to go on a date. Only for her to be cuddling with Mario saying she found someone WAY cooler than him, since he killed multiple universes.

It surprises me some people on here can't seem to fathom that some movie actors are human and play the very same game others play. We should be happy for the game exposures. Others like to bash her acting but can't act for fool themselves. Just poor loosers they are. As long as the acting or voice acting is good I am all for it. They are making a living different from the rest of us whom couldn't act worth a hill of beans-but like to think we can.

No thanks.
Also, I hope the irony of misspelling "losers" isn't lost on you.

Cool shirt! Love that she is such a fan.

@ThanosReXXX that's exactly who I meant when I said sock puppets, sorry if I didn't make that clear.

@PanurgeJr actor I don't care for lol. Sorry didn't realize the typo. Damn spell check sometimes.

An Animal Crossing movie? What would the story be? There is no real conflict in Animal Crossing. Just seems like a bad idea for a film.

@mist talk about being silly.

@PokeMario Well, no offense, but it's the negativists that always post first, so they're the ones that started the fire. The sensible idea is simple: if you don't like a person, a game, a movie, a book or whatever, then why the heck take the time and waste your precious energy on commenting in an article about it, seeing as you'll only ever be able to say something non-constructive and highly negative about it, annoying other people in the process?

And as far as opinions go, you know what they say: "opinions are like @ssholes: everybody's got one". And to that, I'd personally like to add: "but that doesn't mean that you have to show it to everyone".

And another thing: starting a comment thread with something negative and non-constructive is actually against site rules:

"General Behaviour

Do not post - unless you have something useful to say; Only post when you have something meaningful to say or something that will contribute to the discussion."

and

"Do not "troll" or "bait" other users; Posts that purposefully or systematically go against the grain to trigger a reaction from others are prohibited. You are entitled to an opinion, but purposefully disrupting discussions with unpopular opinions to create arguments is not allowed"

So, you see? Negativity for the sake of it, is not allowed. Especially if it's repeated over and over and over again, every time a certain topic pops up. But apparently, few people (if any) heed those rules nowadays, so the admins can't even keep up with them anymore, which is already quite a sad conclusion to come to.

And there's more mentioned. It does say, obviously, to respect other's opinions, so in theory that should mean that there's room for these individuals as well, but the general important thing in the entire community rule set is that we must stick to constructive commenting and not just flame, bait or troll just because of reasons, so visiting every damn thread that is about Brie Larson (or Pokémon for that matter), for the sole purpose of mentioning something negative about her, is not only tiresome, it's actually not wanted or allowed here.

People come to this website to relax and enjoy themselves, not to throw mud at each other or at other people that we actually don't even really know, which makes the opinion even more ridiculous than it already is. But yeah, once the mud slinging starts, it's no wonder that the people that are tired of it, will also put in their own two cents.

On a side note: and at my age, I definitely get to tell the kids what they can and cannot do. Once you turn half a century yourself, you'll be allowed to do the same. Well, at least: if you're able to be sensible and constructive about it...
(and just to be clear: that last bit was a joke. I wouldn't want to be starting a whole different kind of argument in here)

@Lordplops Ah, my bad. I'm sorry I threw you in with the negative lot.

@NihilistNirvana Here you go:

Seems to work just fine for me, and I used your link...

@Kochambra It sounds like she has been saying a lot of prejudiced things and pushing sexism and racism. I don't think people are "trolls" for opposing such a person.

@ThanosReXXX None of what you said debunks my point though. You complain that others are the ones that keep the arguments going but you too are keeping it going.

"General Behaviour

Do not post - unless you have something useful to say; Only post when you have something meaningful to say or something that will contribute to the discussion."

So if a post is negative it's automatically not useful and doesn't contribute to the discussion?

"Do not "troll" or "bait" other users; Posts that purposefully or systematically go against the grain to trigger a reaction from others are prohibited. You are entitled to an opinion, but purposefully disrupting discussions with unpopular opinions to create arguments is not allowed"

If a comment is negative it's automatically trolling or baiting?

Also your comment speaks negatively of people so how is that any different unless you are trying to claim some moral high ground?

@PokeMario Yes, my comment is negative, but it is negative about negativity, which makes it a positive.

And you misunderstand the rules, or you're trying to form them into something that supports the narrative. What they say cannot me misconstrued.

And yes, if someone is one of the first or the first to post, and is immediately negative, then that IS disruptive and it does indeed add NOTHING constructive or useful to the discussion.

Even more precise: seeing as it's the first comment, it actually STARTS the discussion, so it doesn't ADD anything by default.

And all my first comment in here was doing, was pointing out needless negativity and the ridiculousness of it all. And beside that, perhaps against my better judgment in hopes of actually triggering some sensibility in people.

I mean: if you don't like a certain food, you would also not eat it, right? So why comment on something that you don't like, when you MUST know that it will trigger people to go against you. That's basically the definition of trolling or baiting, even if many of these people may not exactly realize it.

And that triggering is in the "not allowed" category, as described in the site rules. Much like starting a discussion on a negative note that isn't even remotely constructive. There's plenty of other ways to go about it.

For example, you could say: "well, personally, I'm not exactly Brie's biggest fan, but still nice that she's so supportive of Nintendo" or "definitely not for me, but I guess that it's nice for the people that do like her" instead of simply expressing hate or loathing.

That's still getting your two cents in, but at the same time, still constructive and not nearly as divisive or abrasive as some of these comments that I've seen in here now.

@ThanosReXXX There are some comments similar to the example you made, but you made no mention of them. Instead, you chose to highlight a comment that labels those who disagree with her opinion as incels as one of the "sensible" people in the thread.
I do agree that the people on this article insulting her are being divisive. Those on this article that are labeling people as "lonely male gamers" or "little boys" are also being divisive, but you've made no criticism of them. If being intentionally divisive is a problem, then it's a problem when people do it on either side of the argument, regardless of who started it.

Also I'm not sure what narrative you think I'm trying to support.

@PokeMario I already apologized to the person in question, at the end of comment #137, for mistaking him for being one of those individuals, but what I said about him earlier was also in response to a question he had.

In general, I don't like to point fingers specifically, so I just chose to address people in general, as mentioned, in hopes of triggering some sensibility.

The supporting narrative I was talking about is your point of these negative folk also being allowed to express themselves, regardless of them being non-constructive or useful in the discussion. In some ways, it seemed like you supported/defended this behavior, by applying/re-applying the rules so that they would work FOR them instead of against them, as they should and as they are intended.

But if that's not what you were doing, then that's on me, so my bad.

And agreed on the name-calling commenters. I don't like that either, but I suppose it's what happens, because negativity brings out the worst in people. I suppose some will also see my comments as highly divisive, or even as triggering, but I myself know that it's meant as constructive criticism, and if others don't see that, well... I can't do very much about that, because it's their interpretation.

@ThanosReXXX Thanks for your reply. Pointing fingers is probably more likely to start "drama" so you're right to address people in general. I guess sometimes I just misinterpret who exactly is being addressed in those situations. Sorry for any confusion.

@JayJ Could you please provide some links where I can read, in her own words and in the original context, all those "prejudiced things" and her supposed "pushing sexism and racism"? Just to form my opinion based on what she actually said.
Anyway, isn't it funny how none of these "crusaders against sexism" appears to have any objection to make to comments such as this one, made in this very thread?:
"That said, she's a truly mediocre/awful actress and must have really impressed the Harvey Weinstein's of Hollywood to get where she is, if you know what I mean."
Yeah, no trolling or sexism in this thread. None at all.

And by the way, addressing your previous concern:
"I don't know why they keep pushing articles about her."
This is just another article about "celebrity X has mentioned a Nintendo property", the likes of which NintendoLife has been publishing for quite some time now. If any Hollywood star professes love for a Nintendo property and tweets about it, it's very likely that they will get a NintendoLife article.

Ummm OK. Nevermind that an animal crossing movie would be dumb move on any studios part. Especially if live action. I feel like Nintendo fans have better sense than to want her associated with their favorite past time and Nintendo isn't interested in the brand of attention she'd bring to their products. Time she moved on from her wish list and consider how she keeps shooting her reputation and career in the foot. That isn't even getting into her abilities as an actress.

SJW or not, there's no reason to trash this article with negative comments about Brie Larson if she's displaying her love for Animal Crossing.

More people hate her than like her, not smart marketing from the big N😂

@PokeMario No apologies necessary. I wasn't even remotely offended. Me taking the time to actually formulate a normal reply instead of flying off the handle, is a subtle hint to support that point...

And thanks in return for your civil reply. It's when people of not entirely similar opinions can still maintain a civil discussion, that I once again start to believe that there actually IS hope for mankind after all.

Well, at least for part of humanity...

I guess I'm in the minority but I really don't think every game needs to have a movie tie-in. For some IPs, sure, Animal Crossing? Even if Nintendo feels it's a popular enough franchise to try this with, there isn't much there to work with in terms of story. Zelda or Metroid makes much more sense.

Sorry people don’t like her because she is a feminist? I was wondering why she was so controversial, I didn’t realise she was, obviously live in a bubble and more comments I read it became clear.

Seriously.

Or has she really said something controversial???

@ThanosReXXX don't worry about it, I can see how I could come across like that 😁 for the record I've got no issue with her at all.

There IS already an AC movie, Japan only and animated though. Wouldn't hurt to get a new one but not live action of course, I think only more realistic properties like Zelda or Metroid would work that way

@Lordplops Me neither. Fun fact: I don't care about her either way.
I did think the Marvel movie was okay, and that she played the part as she should have, but that's about it.

I just don't like needless negativity and/or people doing the same thing over and over again and never learning anything.

@Stocksy No, she really hasn't. People are taking things wildly out of context, and then quoting or assuming things from those out of context statements, mostly regurgitated on social media.

All she ever did was defend women's rights and the rights of people of color and also their rights and abilities for making movies, instead of Hollywood still mainly being a (white) man's world.

She did use some rather stern/harsh words, which may not be the best of choices, but the intentions behind them were good, which is all that matters, far as I'm concerned. And we now see more movies made by women, and even one made by and starring an all-black cast, so apparently, some people actually DO agree with her...

@ThanosReXXX that’s what I thought. Harsh words need to be said to be honest.

I’m glad a shift has been made but we are still miles off. The movies are far better for it.

Not sure why people get so offended when it’s obvious. Either way they won’t listen.

@ThanosReXXX I feel exactly the same on all counts.

@Stocksy Yeah... the internet basically mangled her statements into "Brie hates men". I suspect that a number of physical and online tabloids may also have contributed to that, to some extent...

@j_whitfield8 She could play Samus in an Animal Crossing movie, and show up when Ridley starts terrorizing the villagers. Win-win!

@ThanosReXXX the “not all men” and “white lives matter” crew that epically miss the point.

Which the media is full of.

@Stocksy Haha, yeah, that might just be the case. Excuse me while I now go and drown my white and replacement-embarrassed behind in some liquor...

@Phostachio she didnt insult just gamers. I thjnk that is the issue

@santaglause Yeah I am usually seeing a few very defensive people who seem to like her, and everyone else can't seem to stand her. Personally I don't have any big issue with her, I just find her personality off-putting and her politics divisive.

@Stocksy nah I just remember Marvel fans getting pissed about how she responded to the Thor actor, like, she was commenting that she makes the movie stunts, to a interviewer or something, and Thor went 'looks like we got the next Tom Cruise here', and she said something like 'I'd rather be the next me, thank you'
That's it
People who didn't know Oscar-winner Brie Larson before thought she was disrespecting the Thor guy and the almighty god and scientologist Tom Cruise 🤷 instead of, y'know, just saying she isn't trying to copy anybody
Then the broflake army spawned as there was another woman to hate and here we are

Some of these comments are on brand for this site, lol

And as a poster asked above, does anyone have a link or place to find her comments, in context and as originally stated and not someone's personal interpretation of the comments?

@LUIGITORNADO thanks for clarifying.

I've been fascinated with her ever since I discovered so many people hate her.

I've only seen her in Room, a movie I watched knowing I was going to be very emotionally invested in since I had already read the book. Not sure about her other roles but I felt she definitely nailed her role in Room.

Not sure if she actually deserves the hate, but I wonder if this is one of those "Don't try and remove the sliver out of another's eye without dealing with the plank in your on eye" kind of a situation.

They should just create an Animal Crossing themed version of LazyTown - complete with puppets and catchy songs.

@NihilistNirvana Do you even have a life? Or do you search through message boards to defend a stranger who doesn't care about you? She said what she said, big deal. But instead of bringing a positive message, she added to the overall toxicity of the discussion by using her platform to break down and disparage a segment of the population for no reason. It was tone deaf, short sighted, and sexist. Then she plays the victim, and has half-wits like you online defending her. Let it go. Breath, it's going to be okay.

Only if she voiced a Gyroid.

It'd be fitting.

@Silly_G I'm saying this as somebody who doesn't really care either way, but probably for all the clicks that it draws.

@Savutano

The woman took a cheeky jab at the white male neckbeards on the internet who scream woke and SJW every time they see a female/minority in a leading role. That's all. I'm sure you guys are taking her words way more seriously than she did at the time. "Segment of the population" is a bit of a stretch, dude. These nerds who spend most of their free time watching hentai, writing toxic crap on message boards, and playing video games are not as widespread as they'd like to believe. The smallest dogs tend to make the most noise, and that's all they are. They need to get out in the real world and find something productive to do. Also, it's a bit ironic that you'd act like what she said isn't a big deal, then go on to cry about how big of a deal it is and insult the person you're responding to.

@ThanosReXXX I think a key ingredient in how these things spin out of control (Rian Johnson with Star Wars too) is they say something that is mildly controversial but no big deal. Then pop culture news website pick it up and run headlines "Brie Larson destroys misogyninist trolls and man-babies" and applies it to anyone who doesn't think the Captain Marvel character is the greatest ever. I really think these pop culture sites generate more hate than the people at the center of the storm.

Movies are rated by critics and if you get a bad review and dismiss it just because it was written by a white dude you just ask for hate. But maybe she wanted to capitalize on that by having people talk about her. And she succeeded bc I didn't know about her before the white dude thing.

Yeah, no thanks, even as a voice actress for an animated movie, still no thanks.

While I don't have any opinion on the actress (and don't even know anything about her) the only thing I could think of when reading was... don't even think about making an animal crossing live-action adaptation. Please. I can think of few franchises that are less well-suited to a hollywood movie and this could only end badly.

Don't know who she is but I just wanted to say that I think it's odd to name your child after a piece of (elbeit delicious) cheese.

@TheFox Yeah, that sounds about right. That's what I meant with media taking things out of context and then people picking that up and both spreading and mangling it even further.

It's the old "Mars invasion" radio play hysteria thing in full effect...

@ThanosReXXX I like that, I like it a lot

@Savutano Do you even have a life? Or do you search through message boards to attack a stranger who doesn't care about you? She said what she said, big deal. But instead of bringing a positive message, you added to the overall toxicity of the discussion by using your platform to break down and disparage a woman for no reason.

@NihilistNirvana Found one. Thanks.

@ThanosReXXX Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

@Tantani .....No she hasn't.

In a way she is perfectly cast as Carol Danvers being Captain Marvel as by Civil War 2 she is a villain.

Jesus Christ people. How many have commented on this?

Cute article. I smiled.

@Supadav03 Brie Larson had an opinion and that is apparently not a good thing, according to other people who have opinions. It's the same old world we were living in yesterday.

@PanurgeJr Cute. You basically regurgitated his comment and just added your own spin on it where it doesn't make sense. I've heard 4 year old's come up with better arguments XD

@NihilistNirvana You're misreading my post. I'm not angry. Just stating the facts.

@G_M If my argument makes no sense, and it's an almost word-for-word copy of someone else's argument, then what does that say about the original argument? Jeebus, I've seen four year olds have an easier time understanding what someone is getting at.

@Polenko There is nothing factual about what you said, and opinions that extreme are always driven by anger. Your claims are fooling nobody who isn't also blinded by it.

@SmileMan64 @EpicGamerScout You're both welcome.

@Silly_G Because everyone who isn't a neckbearded virgin is obsessed with Brie Larson.

I am looking forward to your blogs, I love the Brie Larson Unicorn Store Jacket. Literally, you have amazing content which is the inspiration for us.
