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.
