In an unfortunate move for Captain Marvel fans, Brie Larson is the latest celebrity to start shilling NFTs, and the situation is already getting ugly. Despite watching Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and the cringe-inducing pairing of Paris Hilton and Jimmy Fallon get roasted alive on social media, Larson waded into the cryptocurrency waters by announcing she changed her Twitter profile to a recently purchased NFT.

Larson’s timing couldn’t have been worse. Not even an hour earlier, former The O.C. and Gotham star Ben McKenzie fired off a viral tweet that linked to an article warning people about the dangers of listening to Hollywood celebs:

Ironically this comes after Brie Larson posted about doing better in 2022:

Am I still a misogynist for thinking the Captain Marvel movie was terrible?

 

[Umbasaborne]

Its interesting that the ones really trying to push nft’s on to the public are rich people. Celebrities and ceo’s all swearing its the next big thing, and getting frustrated that not as many fish are biting as they hoped. What do they hope to get out of this? They have so much cash as it is, also, why are nft’s catching on so important to them?

If you add in the rest of the Marvel movies to that label I might accuse you of having taste.

I'm behind on this but was is an NFT?

I'll give you all of them except Ironman 1, the Spiderman movies, Thor Ragnorok, and the Infinity War End Game movie.

I like Ben McKenzie, although I know him from two things but I liked his character in The OC and he was good in Gotham as Gordon.

Man!!

Now I hate her

 

[SentientStone]

If this was Alison Brie, I would buy whatever NFT she shills.
Too bad this is Captain Marvel.

Easy... One of the worst invent of the story of mankind.

I'm not too sure about NFTs as an investment, but resetera types hate them so much that I'm tempted to risk my life savings on a poorly drawn picture of a monkey

 

[Impotaku]

Ol' cheesy brie pimping those NFT's she can make her own

Nasty
Fungal
Toes

Not surprising. Those commies hate Bitcoin and Ethereum too.

 

[strange headache]

Was this before or after she shat on Shirley Temple?

Par for the course, Brie Larson continues to be a horrible human.

You, know the metaverse is going to be made by some indian kid where it is completely open and you can save images just like you can on the current internet.

These tech bros thinking they can monetrse the internet 2.0 in a greedy and dumb way are going to fail.

To explain what a platform where NFTs are a thing, imagine if the internet and all internet accessible devices did not allow the copying of owned digital media, imagine how much that would suck, thats what these NFT fucks want.

The cable TV of internet.

Cord cutting is nearly complete. Celebrities don't sell movies anymore. Most dont watch mainstream news. They've almost fully lost control and they're all flipping out and will try to just force it.

Because they are hoping it will be a new revenue stream. Like when artists were all excited about guitar games and how they could be a potential new market.

 

[Droxcy]

Out of all celebs I'm tired of seeing her. Any time she's apart of anything I want to throw up.

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

My man! I though I was the only one

There are dozens of us, DOZENS!

“Hi y’all big news, I guess you could say I’ve kinda joined the Ponzi scheme…”

24 hours later

“So I’ve had the chance to do a lot of reflecting…”

JFC I didn't know what to expect but I googled this and she has some NFTs.

Not only fungal, but mangled as well.

Fucking barf.

I guess fugly toes comes with the crazy bitch territory.

 

[kingwingin]

Thanks brie

 

[dr_octagon]

There is disregard for quality and tricking consumers they will be happy with the content. There is an inability to stop the shameless self promotion and greed. A desperate attempt to use technology to convince everyone that Brie is a decent human being with good acting abilities.

NFTs are awful as well.

 

[cormack12]

In the case of Brie Larson is that Nasty Fucking Toes?

 

[-BLITZ-]

Easy... One of the worst invent of the story of mankind.

Maybe or actually, is one of the best and most dangerous pyramid scheme that was done so far by the modern (world) leaders. I believe that this entire NFT concept was or has been planned, prepared 10 or 15 years ago, and I'm sure they predicted, this is the best time of our society for such political, economic manipulative profit scheme to be launched.

And this is sad, because most of the society is very manipulative in our days. Easy to control, easy to tell something by deceiving, in order for them to hear it out and accept it so easily.

 

[-BLITZ-]

Thanks brie

Is it just me or she can actually sue you, for doing this ?

 

[Richard Packer]

Any time she's apart of anything I want to throw up.

My penis feels the same way.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

Nice Fucking Toes?

Edit* I was way late on this joke I guess.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

It's funny because she is always pointing fingers and comes across as vain.

It's not to stay relevant. They get paid for it. They're high-end prostitutes.

Yeh I figure none of these celebrities are actually buying in. They're being paid

 

[Stop Motion Pornography]

Something something NFT something something blockchains something something METAVERSE

 

[captainpat]

It's really sad to see celebrities who I thought would know better (like Tony Hawk and Idris Elba) hawk this shit.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

A scam artist selling a scam? Suprised Pikachu!

 

[SJRB]

It's not to stay relevant. They get paid for it. They're high-end prostitutes.

You are right, which makes this ordeal even sadder.

 

[Amory]

I can't really blame these people. Most of them probably have no concrete idea what an NFT even is (does anyone?), but for enough money they'll advertise it like any other product. They probably don't realize that they're effectively advertising a scam.

 

[balls of snow]

What a stand up guy that dude from oc became.

 

[FunkMiller]

The one good thing NFTs are accomplishing:

Showing us which celebrities are greed fuelled cunts, with zero integrity

 

[Whitecrow]

I'm behind on this but was is an NFT?

Its an imaginary copy of something so you cant trade and speculate while keeping true legal ownership of that thing.

Its like when someone with no friends starts a trend of seeing who have more inaginary friends, and people fall for that.
