Brie Larson does &#8220;impassive&#8221; and &#8220;serious&#8221; well, but most of the time when her character laughed or smiled, it came across as forced and fake (John Agar had the same problem). I think her most believable scenes are opposite Akira Akbar as a very young Monica Rambeau &#8212; in those, she comes across as genuine. But personally, I think <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7Lii4QJSpW8\">Samara Weaving<\/a> would have been better in the part. Ah, well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really liked Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, and Gemma Chan as Minn-Erva. I thought they were more interesting than Carl Danvers and Nick Fury (although Sam Jackson is always interesting). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"1005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackgate.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Captain_Marvel_Minn-Erva.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackgate.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Captain_Marvel_Minn-Erva.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.blackgate.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Captain_Marvel_Minn-Erva-203x300.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We saw &#8220;Captain Marvel&#8221; last night.
