Pietro is a divisive chap. His house in New Leaf looked like a murder-carnival, and his description on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp says that most people are "creeped out by his whole deal". Yet, he still has his fans, and they love him very much, even if the rest of the world doesn't.
Brie Larson is not one of those fans. In a recent video on her YouTube channel, Ms Larson took a bunch of online quizzes to learn more about herself. Apparently, learning about herself was a mistake, because this Buzzfeed quiz told her that her Animal Crossing character was none other than the loved and hated clown-sheep.
"I just didn't know that my true form looked like that."
In another quiz, about general Nintendo trivia, she got five out of five, including questions about Tomodachi Life and Ocarina of Time. Impressive stuff. We'd invite you to hang out, Brie, but we don't hang out with Pietros. Call us when you're a Goldie.

Lol! I love her energy and enthusiasm for Nintendo! “Why aren’t I Isabelle?!” I felt that.
Extra plus that Captain Marvel is such a nerd.
I feel like the sheep get a bad rep. My fave villager is Stella.
The emotional angst after that revelation
Well I think the quiz maker had the most positive take on that character, the clown mythos is something random that we sort of foist onto the character. It is a lot of fun to think he might be a secret psycho though lol.
Is this a personal attack or something?
Brie Larson was mentioned. Get ready for the hate mob.
Sheesh, just for FRIGGIN' once I'd like to see an article mentioning Brie Larson WITHOUT morons making some kind of dumb@ss comment about it, but apparently, that's too much to ask in this day and age. Pfffff...
Get the f*** over yourself. There's bound to be billions of people that you don't like or care for, who may or may not share some of the same hobbies that we here all do.
Spoiler alert: they're actually human too! And apparently, some of them also like to play games in their spare time. Funnily enough, I've never seen this much backlash when Robin William's daughter or John Cena was mentioned. Also two very big Nintendo fans.
Oh, well. Another day, yet nothing new...
Brie Larson...
Buzzfeed...
Where's your dignity guys? seriously?
@Bizaster Someone is scared of rich women 😬
I don't know why Nintendo Life post so many articles about this woman and her every thought? Does someone on the team fancy her? Just kind of odd and random. There are certainly brighter minds who talk about Nintendo that don't see all these articles.
And I love Pietro! He's really funny. I built him a circus leading up to his house!
Honestly, is this even a Nintendo fansite anymore, because every other day they seem to take the opportunity to worship her (and I'm not naming names).
Those who want to know what she had for dinner, who she's currently beau-ing, who she considers herself superior to from atop her ivory tower, or her lavatorial schedule can follow her on the cesspool that is Twitter, or any other number of social media platforms that she is undoubtedly on.
Of all the information that frequently goes unreported on this site, they NEVER seem to let up on an opportunity to worship Larson. I am indifferent to her (saw her in United States of Tara back in the day and did not care for her character), but the constant attention this site gives her reeks of blatant clickbaiting, and I refuse to indulge the disingenuous suggestion that they don't know damn well how reception toward her can be often... frosty. 🙄
I love Pietro, he's adorable.
This article is just complete nonsense, this isn't even game related. This is something I expect to find in Cosmopolitan or TMZ, not NL. Christ... try to have some quality. :S
How many times does someone have to explain that articles fluke this are helpful to a site like Nintendolife in the long run? Articles like this gets scooped up by the Google algorithm and pops in searches for Brie Larson and some folks who might like Brie might come over to this site and stick around. More clicks, more money, more content. Would you all complaining prefer a subscription service? I doubt it. Just ignore the article and as others have stated get over yourselves.
I know the feeling to take a quiz and get a clown character. And NL and reporting news like any other site, like screen rant comicbook and the gamer, Hey u can hate the articls bc not everyone will just pointing that out.
i have a slight dislike towards Pietro at times, but i still let him live on my island, free of charge.
i just took the damned buzzfeed quiz myself, and I also got the damned clown, Pietro. this might be that first, last, and only buzzfeed quiz i ever take.
BrieLarsonLife.com
You have to understand, there's very little Real News to report these days (no directs in sight, only one upcoming first party release) so Nintendo Life has to get creative. Besides, Brie Larson is guaranteed hateclicks.
@Silly_G every other day? That’s some serious exaggeration on your part.
@HammerKirby it's clearly working, so why not?
@Kevember More like "negative, repetitive comments about the same celebrity for the umpteenth time". We already KNOW that some people like to b**** and moan about this. And how quick they are to jump into the comments section to post their useless, unwanted brain farts.
The smarter, more sensible person would simply just ignore the article and not spend the time and energy into something or someone that he or she dislikes or hates.
She was somewhat cute in the Scott Pillgrim movie. She played the roll well. It came off really natural.
Funny, I think a clown perfectly represents her.
I have Pietro in my ACNH Island and my initial reaction was one of sheer terror but I've kinda warmed to him now, his house is insane with cloud flooring and carnival games. Plus my daughter won't let any of the villagers move out of our island so I guess his freaky clown sheep ass is here to stay 😋
Brie Larson’s just such an odd pick for people to be outraged about. It’s not like she’s really that big a personality. I think NL are just trolling us at this point to land the clicks.
@Grot For real, I am pretty middle grounded when it comes to politics and I generally try to stay out of it but it's funny how some people really attach their personal politics to her and use her as a crutch for their beliefs.
I like Brie Larson. I didn't like Captain Marvel, but she seems like a cool dudette.
She gets paid by Nintendo to promote Animal Crossing. Her Instagram posts often say "advertisement" or "sponsored content" when they are about AC
@Snatcher yea man it's crazy out here in the NL
@HammerKirby When NLife is sus 😳
Ask me how I knew who wrote this article of the year candidate. It's like everything you dislike about Buzzfeed, but NintendoLife. I can write some SEO keyword-heavy copy for you guys for free, here are my zoomer-friendly headlines for the week, I even provide article subtitle text:

Oh, boy! Given all the positive and cheerful description they give you being a Pietro, I kind of feel bad for him.
"You are the very definition of cheerfulness and loves bringing joy and happiness to everybody, specially your family and friends that you love so mu-"OH GOSH, OH NO I GOT PIETRO I HATE HIM
My thoughts.
Brie Lawson’s relevance has been decided by Nintendo themselves who partnered with her to promote Animal Crossing/Switch.
I wish Nintendo would partner up with Danny Trejo the same way who’s an Animal Crossing fan. I’d love to see vids of him talking about his love of a cutesy game whilst holding a machete.
What is the point of this article? If you want people to hate on her then yes, this is a good article.
Otherwise it's just clickbait. Or how I call articles like this, hatebait.
What would 10 year old Brie Larson think about Pietro? 😎
@nessisonett It does seem like they post these Brie Larson stories because they know it whips up the fans and gets clicks. I'm here, so I guess I can't say too much. I'm not a big Marvel fan, so I don't have a real strong opinion about her, but I couldn't miss the never ending controversy either. On one hand, I think the outrage mob that follows her around needs to calm down. On the other hand, I do think she was intentionally antagonistic with some of her PR when Captain Marvel came out. So is she a victim of controversy or playing it to raise her status? Either way, I think Nintendo and NL would do well not to make her the face of Animal Crossing.
@Kevember To be honest, I don't care either way. When viewing my initial comment with a certain mind set, I assume it could be seen as some kind of fanboy rant, or whatever you want to call it, but I'm just against useless negativity and/or comments in general, and I'm honestly dumb-founded by the blind hatred for people that we don't even really know, just because of a dumb thing that he or she once said that ruffled their feathers, and now any and all things they do are to be criticized and ridiculed, apparently for the rest of their lives.
It just all seems so pointless. I prefer constructive criticism, instead of exercises in futility...
I came in to see why this had the most comments of the current 'headlines' page. Wish I hadn't.
@ThanosReXXX Bringing that Flex Tape energy. 😉
@nessisonett Isn't Brie disliked by gamers b/c she said something good or bad about something? Or is that Gal Gadot? I don't confuse the 2 but I feel like they both are disliked but there was a specific reason 1 of them was.
@rjejr Probably against my better judgment. Young'uns and newbies deciding when and how this site should report on what and how it should have been. That'll be the day...
C'mon guys she didn't want to be what she already is. We all play video games for the same reason.
In other news, Brie Larson chewed a stick of gum after lunch. I'm starting to read a little too much about her on this site.
I don't care that this person constantly gets mentioned. As one person stated, I don't know her.
I am upset that of allll the things I add to my advertisement/feed preferences, I am constantly given things I didn't ask for.
I want Sonic, Bleach, Animal Crossing, ect.
This person only appeared because she had to do with it in this small occurance. I did not ask for her, but can understand why she appeared. Strictly try to get politics out of my feed, but constantly given politics.
I just want a better algorithm for my Feed.
That's how I got here.
NintendoLife, the above have a good point. Please can you go out and pick from the herd of A-list celebrities you're depriving of their opportunity to speak of their love for Nintendo. I'm sure Tom Hanks would love to speak at length about Metroid, or Meryl Streep would be happy to be filmed doing a Breath of the Wild speed run. But you don't go to them. You go to Brie Larson. Just because she's high profile, loves Nintendo and is happy to talk about them? How does that make her an advocate? I mean, aside from being the literal definition of the word, but that's really just a coincidence.
@ThanosReXXX It would have been against my better judgment too if you had asked. 😁
You weren't wrong though. Though I suppose not being wrong is kinda your thing. 😉 I don't have the patience anymore. I spend my days writing replies to ignoramuses on twitter then deleting them before posting so I don't have to deal. Same for here, though I tend not to read as much and only comment if it's relevant to my family.
BTW was thinking of you the other day. Did your govt collapse a few days ago? You know I keep mixing you up over there but this one seemed correct.
You guys keep posting Brie Larson articles as if she's like the second Reggie or something. She's a clueless airhead celebrity. Why should anyone care about she thinks?
It's about as meaningful as just posting the thoughts of some random taxi driver you just met. Actually wait....that would be a lot more interesting! You should do that instead
@Grot Yeah there is definitely a buzzfeed style vibe to these sort of articles, and it definitely attracts a particular type of user who seems to be obsessed with their politics. That said this is still generally one of the least political gaming sites I use and I am a fan of going here because they are usually more focused on the gaming news than anything else. I mean yeah we get the odd article like this and of course the usual suspects are going to use that as an opportunity to push their politics, but they definitely come off as the type of closed minded people who are a political ideology first anything else second, and sadly people like that are all over the internet these days. Just be happy that this site isn't aggressively pushing ideology and is just doing these stupid "look at what Brie Larson is doing" features. I think that is why the community here tends to be friendlier than most gaming sites, most people just come here for the gaming news and there isn't a whole political attraction to create conflict within the userbase.
So what y'all saying is, you would find more value in a mini review of a Switch game, than what animal Brie Larson would resemble. Yeah...I dig that.
@rjejr Yeah, I can imagine. It's the reason why I stay the hell away from the open sewage that is social media. Why would I tire myself with having to delete stuff if I can simply forego using all of these "wonderful" services altogether?
As for your comment on the local government here: yup, bang on. Collapsed like a failed souffle, or something to that extent. Bunch of morons. Our version of the IRS made some grave mistakes, spurred on by "slightly" overzealous politicians, resulting in thousands of innocent families being duped and wrongly labeled defaulters or even downright criminal.
All the people involved, which is basically the entire cabinet, had to resign. Nuff said about that, though. Wouldn't want to cross the community rules line (too much).
@Bizaster I'm not saying anyone in particular is conservative it's just a joke but there definitely are conservatives that come on here everytime and complain when they really should just not click on the article and then they would perhaps finally stop making them
That result is very fitting for her bwahahaha
@ThanosReXXX Yeah we can cut it there. I know where to find ya.
@JohnnyC congrats on making the best and most intelligent comment on this hellhole of a thread.
For the love of god...
I’m half convinced that some of the NL staff write these articles to screw with us. :0
I ACTUALLY don't care about Larson's gaming habits. I'm just here to laugh at the drama.
@RandomAfricanGamer @Thoughts Hate clicks are still clicks, and controversy, however stupid, is good for traffic. I definitely don't think we'd be getting so many Brie Larson articles if people didn't work themselves up into a frenzy every time her name was mentioned. Ironic, that.
@Bizaster I have to say it is funny the person commenting who cares about her has a Scott pilgrim avatar. And she was also in Scott pilgrim.
Well she is, and that's that
Unfortunately I think I’m a Pietro as well, which sucks as the guy totally creeps me out. There’s a reason he’s in so many fan made AC horror trailers.
The hate here is as predictable as clockwork. Here's the thing guys: she's a celebrity who mentions Nintendo considerably more than your average celebrity. She will be mentioned here routinely. Get over it.
Just acknowledge you're pissed that she said "I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time" three years ago, and that if this article were about any other celebrity, you wouldn't have thought twice about it. The "anti-PC" crowd seems to be just as intent on having safe spaces where they don't need to hear the name of that person that upset them in 2018.
People, leave this woman alone, come one... It has been a long time ago since her comment and people are still attacking her for it. There are a lot of celebrieties who have said worser things than her and Brie gets a lot of heat for mere a few words that people dont agree with. All of you talking about free speech but when it doesnt suit you it's not free speech anymore. Move one, there must be important things in your life that you care about than sending negative heat to Brie Larson. Roseanne for example called people a very bad word and a lot of people we're defending her. Same with Ellen Degeneres, she is a toxic woman yet people are watching her crappy show and defending her as well. if you dont like another people's opinion, be kind about it, brush it off and let it go, she isnt affecting or hurting you in your daily lives.
i still dont know who brie larson is, but now i wanna take that quiz lol
@DoubleDate Most of the hate here seems to be directed towards Nintendo Life for the quality of their reporting rather than towards Brie herself.
Love me a good brie larson.....(comment section)
I Came to be entertained by the hate message some of you would write, happy to report you guys don't disappoint.
I wouldn't mind being friends with Brie Larson. She seems pretty cool. I also really don't mind the odd article on here about her. I get it, it's nice to have a variety of different things to read about pertaining to video games. Keep it up guys.
@Menardi you win best comment
I got Coco the bunny
i never understood the hate for Pietro. I'm also not the biggest fan of clowns, but he has an amazing design and a wholesome personality. Also "they love him very much, even if the rest of the world doesn't" applies not only to other villagers but pretty much everything in existence. Food, music, people, colors, ideas, you name it.
@Bizaster I care even more now about these articles. Well played
@Bizaster I like Brie Larson. So I care. Why so angry?
Compared to most articles about Brie Larson and ACNH on this site, this comment section is pretty tame and that’s sad.
I’ve been reading Nintendo life for almost 5 years now and I don’t remember as many blunt comments regarding the quality of the articles. I guess the community has changed for this site.
At least the articles about Brie Larson are actually related to Nintendo.
@Kirbyfan I hope none of them are the same people who defend this site for posting articles about Netflix, Sonic, and Monster Hunter movies.
@Letzg077 And you brought her being white into this because...?
@DrDaisy Because she claims to be sjw but is using her gender, race, and politics to get ahead of everyone like a typical self absorb woman...if she's a Republican nintendo lover, no one would care about her..
Brie larson literally is a narcissistic person void of normal human emotions and decency, no decent human being should look up to this entitled rich out of touch celebrity...
Just wanna point out that there was a comment calling Brie a beautiful person and it’s been subtly edited so that the user’s calling her cute instead 😂😂
When Nintendo hasn't been releasing anything news worthy (except of ports of 8+ year old games) you have to resort to "celebrities". Channeling lower-end working class drivel like The Sun or Heat Magazine.
@Bizaster The only clown i see here, is you If you have anger issues issues this is not the place to share. In other words .....GTFO
people this is a website that works through clicks and by clicking on this article, you approve that this article is somehow relevant. If you do this just to post how irrelevant it is, you are running danger creating a blackhole that might end the whole universe because this is just completely impossible.
I don't care too about Brie Larson, but I can understand that posting some clickbait like this here and then, especially as I still do know her and I think its worth mentioning what a huge nerd she is. If you get tired reading it, then find something more valuable in your life than depending so much on the thrill of a Nintendo-fansite's newsstream.
Still simping for Brie Larson eh NL?
What did I just read?
Anyways she's a "Hollywood Star". I don't think she needs further exposure. Also I feel she's a bit lost at times when she doesn't have a script.
Anyways. If you enjoy her content, great!
@Letzg077 I wrote something way more sensitive. But yes. This.
@Bizaster "But who cares about her not wanting to be a clown? Not my problem."
Dude... come on. You are better than this. There are plenty of articles here that are up your alley, so just skip ones you don't care about.
Guys, you have to understand, a celebrity being a fan of Nintendo is something that is logical for this website to cover.
I haven't seen much toxicity when there were articles about Jimmy Fallon being a fan, so why is Brie Larson an exception?
Celebrity bringing attention to games we love can only be good for a community and games as a whole.
@Averagewriter She's in a Nintendo commercial, so she's officially canon now.
Wow she's lost weight - didn't recognize her. Captain Marvel was awful but whatever pays the bills I guess.
@Vriess What sort of roll did she play? Bread? Sausage? Toilet?
@gcunit
The snooty type. I a used harsher word in my earlier post but it got edited by NL. Censored.
Meh ...Unpopular opinion: Buzzfeed is utterly crap and its quizzes are even more crap.
Serious question: never heard of Brie Larson, is she some influencer (brrr) or something like that?
Because NL seems to often mention her here.
omg stop turning this site into buzzfeed these brie larson articles appeal to no one
@DoubleDate this has literally nothing to do with free speech. she can say whatever she wants. doesnt mean any of us have to like it. thats freedom right there
The so-called "gamer community" is the worst.
@Rayquaza2510 She's an Oscar winning actress for the movie Room and plays Captain Marvel in the Avengers movies. She was also in Free Fire, Kong Skull Island, 21 Jump Street, Scott Pilgrim and a few other things.
Nintendo hired her to be a celeb spokesperson so she appears in commercials for them and mentions Animal Crossing/Nintendo in her social media.
@jump don't get me wrong, I don't live under a stone (by far no) but I never knew Nintendo hired her, I thought she a was random person NL spends attention on (NL is the only gaming site I follow that even mentions her at all)
As for the movies, never saw them but looking at what type of movies they are that is because lack of interest (aside from the Scott Pilgrim one, I didn't knew about it existing)
Thx for explaining to me who the heck she is.
@Bizaster Just keep in mind that scrolling through the front page, this article is the only one that has hit over 100 comments, and each time the page is refreshed to post a new comment, or read replies, there are 3-4 new ads that load on the page (on my mobile browser, at least) Brie Larson articles are a reliable source of hits and ad revenue. Kick the bee hive, get that honey!
Debating things and Larson. Is like cupcake and ham sandwich
@Brutchie-bear Haha, good point. Plot twist: maybe Bizaster is Brie Larson!
This whole argument thread is hilariously ironic. All this heated debate whether NL should post articles about Brie Larson have unintentionally solidified the fact that NL will continue posting articles about Brie Larson.
You guys clicking the article just to leave angry comments are SUPER helping the algorithm and further proving why they keep making these articles. Thank you guys so much, your vitriol is helping keep this site alive.
When Queen Brie trends it's majestical 💜💙💛💚❤ and all is marvelous in the world
I love her sooo much😭
@Chlocean You missed an 'h', but otherwise I agree.
Who cares? Brie Larson is the worst.
Wow, for once there are more commenters anticipating the hatred for Brie or just whining about pointless articles than commenters actually hating her! Seems like Brie exposure therapy is starting to pay off, haha, nice move, NL!
Thought this was an site for Nintendo related news, and not the Brie Larson fan blog
Brie Larson for (NoA) President.!!
Love these articles and the IMMENSE support they garner! Good Show, NLife, keep it up!
@JohnnyC I'm curious, where did I miss the "h"?
It may be due to the fact I'm from North America, and we spell things weird so I'm very interested to know.
@Chlocean It wasn't a dig at you, more a bad-taste joke. Add the letter to the word "site" in your sentence, and you have a more accurate reflection of my view on most of this thread.
More articles about Brie Larson please; this comments section is hilarious.
