Cosmic Karen wants to be Samus...

In the words of the Fresh Cuck of Bel Air:
Aw Hell Naw! You read right: Academy Award Winner, Cheese Theft wants to play the role of Samus Aran and she's pestering Nintendo.
If I were the Big N, I would kindly tell her no. Sure, she's a mich better actress than Ronda Rousey. Seriously, who told her she could act!? But Brie Larson would be a horrible choice for Samus.
This is the part where Tumblr gets all the pitchforks and torches to call me misogynistic and the usual insults.
Her performance in Captain Marvel shows that she can't carry her own movie and relies far too much on  the supporting characters.  Being Samus would require her to use her body to act non-verbally and unfortunately, Ms. Larson's body language often speaks in various degrees of confrontational/unconfortable... but not in a good way. How can I put it in the least offensivr way... her body language and attitude seem like a weak person trying to act tough. In that sense, Ronda Rousey could play a much better Samus. Rousey may not be the toughest woman on Earth, but as a MMA fighter, her toughness seems natural... despite not having acting skills.

Then there's Metroid's complete isolation, where Samus is all alone exploring a hostile planet full of alien creatures that don't speak any human language. Any spoken parts would be Samus thinking/talking to herself, or narration.
Despite being an "AcAdEmY aWaRd WiNnEr", Larson wouldn't be able to pull it off.

"AcAdEmY aWaRd WiNnEr" Nicolas Cage. Why bring Cage into this: an Academy Award does not shield an actor from bad performances. Unfortunately for Ms. Larson, she can't carry a whole film on her back where the only real performances would come from her and the occasional humanoid Space pirate that would get blasted by her.
Most of her performance would be her in a MOCAP suit to build a CGI Armor for Samus and Maybe an Iron Man-esque HUD display scene

This picture of Larson dressed up as the sexist Zero Suit Samus is what has people in a bizarre campaign for her to play Samus. The "Please God, kill me now" expression she has is literally the reason why she SHOULDN'T. If she can't look comfortable dressed as Samus on a "candid photo" that she CHOSE TO UPLOAD to her Instagram page, how can she do it on a movie?

With all that said, she COULD pull it off... if they pull a Prowse where stuntwomen do the physical acting, while Larson focuses on the close-ups and non-difficult shots.
Since we rarely see Samus WITHOUT her Armor, there is really no difference between mocapping a stuntwoman and Brie... other than the stuntwoman literally carrying the whole movie. Any Flashbacks to pre-hunter Samus would most likely involve a child actress playing the role of orphaned Samus being raised by the Chozo. Maybe Brie could play Samus as she gets some Federation Military training. Not to mention that most of the movie would have to be filmed on Green Screen.

No, nononononononononononono... I can't be defending REEEEE Larson... Who am I and what did I do to Nefty!?

As much as I dislike Brie Larson, there is one thing that worries me more than her being cast as Samus: How badly will America screw up Metroid...
