I don’t think Larson is a particularly good actor, certainly not good enough to carry a lead role, but even she suffered from some bizarre editing and writing choices in this one. The entire movie felt like a series of vaguely connected individual scenes. I mean, I get it, it’s a superhero movie, no ones expecting Oscar worthy stuff but it’s not a great look when the end credit scenes are more interesting than the actual movie.
Doesn’t really matter what you or I think, but a recognized authority on the matter vehemently disagrees with the notion she’s not a good actress and is incapable of carrying a lead role. It’s ridiculous. That said, Marvels is not what most people would call a great movie, but the blame doesn’t lie on her. Besides, I’m sure she got paid a shitload more for it than Room or Lessons in Chemistry, and maybe questioning the characters motivation wasn’t as big of a priority for this role vs the physical fitness aspects of making all the green screen effects and body suits look good.

For me “Short Term 12” is her best movie.
Can she play anything other than heavy sarcasm response character?

She has an Oscar for Best Actress in a lead role.
I don’t think that carries the weight you think it does.
