I mean, I've been told I have a constant RBF, and I'm also a 220 lbs bearded combat vet that uses the "1000 yard stare" so people will get out of my way. I've been told I terrify people sometimes. I can't judge her too harshly on her facial expressions, but in a lot of the things I've seen that she's in, there's this gnawing feeling that she's pissed off because she's above whatever she's doing. Her early career with things like Community and Scott Pilgrim, I didn't feel that way, but since Captain Marvel, there was a shift. Does that make sense?
Yeah, but it's not your job to project your character's personality to an audience., so it's ok to have RBF. I'm not familiar with Larson's work before Marvel, but it seems like if that IS your job, you should be able to do it in spite of bad writing, bad directing, etc. Ewan McGregor, for example, projected his way through much, much worse dialogue and crude CGI/green screening requirements in the Star Wars prequels. He had to act alone, on an empty soundstage, with a tennis ball tied to a stick. The tennis ball had a mark on it to show where your eye line was supposed to be. You're supposed to be Obi Wan Kenobi....to a stick. If he can do that, I'm not cutting Larson any slack 20 years later.
