Brie Larson is a similarly vocal celebrity online who could possibly find herself the target of another alt-right hit job. Do we think they're not going to be asked about this? That's what I dread the most leading up to 'Captain Marvel'. In the same way racist white dude-bros were smearing and attacking 'Black Panther' both before and when it came out, I predict the same will happen to 'Captain Marvel' from sexist white dude-bros.

Much like what happened last year when 'Wonder Woman' came out, along with its private woman-only screenings (which I predict 'Captain Marvel' will also have, much like 'Black Panther' had for black people). Except Carol Danvers isn't as big of a character as either Wonder Woman or even Black Panther, but her movie will be held to a higher standard, since it doesn't have people worrying about it due to previous track-records (like 'Wonder Woman' had with previous DC movies).

And like you mentioned, Brie Larson has been vocal on social media regarding social issues (unlike Chadwick Boseman and other cast and crew of 'Black Panther' from what I remember), though hopefully nothing from her past that will be used as ammunition against her like what happened with James Gunn. What I mean is, James Gunn's firing is going to get tied to the Captain Marvel promotion tour. Someone's going to sit down with Brie Larson, Lee Pace, and/or Djimon Hounsou and asks them how they feel about it. Same thing will happen with Avengers 4: Avenge This! or whatever they're going to call it.

A lot of people think Taika Waititi could come in and take over directing duties because of Ragnarok. But do we want to drag him and the Thor movies into this as well?

Disney wanted this story to be over with quickly, but it just. keeps. coming. back. I got that. It defo wouldn't help matter PR wise for that movie.
