Oh how the turn tables. In an unsurprising twist, many of the people who have been rallying behind the Captain Marvel actress are now actively trying to cancel her. The term “Captain Marvel” has been trending, but not for the reasons Disney/Marvel would want.
When the Captain Marvel films came out there was a lot of drama on social media surrounding the film, mostly centered on the main actress Brie Larson. But this isn’t about all of that. Now the people rabidly supporting her are turning on her over NFTs.
For those that don’t know NFT or Non-fungible token. Many places, like Twitter and even Disney are trying to jump on the NFT bandwagon. Hollywood is rushing to embrace these digital art pieces and Brie Larson happened to be one of them.
It did not go over well.
While a lot of people offered congratulations and much kinder criticism it is Twitter and they literally can’t even.

This set off some of her vocal supporters:
Damnit Brie, this sucks. Why’d you have to hop on board this harmful trend too? This is not the “support artists” angle that’s actually any good. It’s harmful for the environment and many NFTs are stolen artwork. This is so disappointing as a fan of yours. Unfollowing. pic.twitter.com/NTaIDSmyc7
