Can't wait for that Spielberg movie she's doing.

She's not Emma Watson or Saiorse Ronan.

They are promoting the shit out of this film aren't they
Ah, okay. Had my volume down at the beginning of the clip.
Kind of a weird question, really. Hey you both play super heroes! Like everyone else.
edit: It just occurred to me that Lawrence has now made romantic comedy films with two of the Guardians

Hey, why does everyone hates Jeniffer now? I thought we liked her
It's because of mystique. She is just too big for that role now, and she knows it. Mystique does the same shit over and over again( convince magneto & Xavier to shake hands) and Lawrence is just phoning in.
She obviously does it for money and is quite open about it. They should have killed mystique in the last movie.

I think Mystique is fairly boring

I believe she signed a three picture deal starting with First Class. But so did McAvoy, Hoult, and Fassbender. Even with as schlocky as Apocalypse got, they put in the work. If she did, I agree she could've done fine with the material. Doesn't help as her fame grew, they centered the movies around her. She got it worst than Halle Berry post-Monster's Ball, except Halle was more professional.
Mystique in comics was almost Nightcrawler's father
She did up being in a 80 year relationship with a woman

Where is her razzy award for her performance in the xmen movies ?
This girl is a fool. I think she's a good talk show guest as I actually don't find her personnality annoying (I know a lot of people do) but she needs to refocus on acting. She won the most undeserved oscar since Gwyneth paltrow in Shakespeare in love and she's just been a mediocre actress ever since.

I for one am shocked. Shocked I say!!
Yeah, you can tell for some time that she just really didn't want to do the role anymore.

Her performance as Mystique was average and the choice to focus on it so deeply (due solely to her celebrity) damaged the X films.
It's not Jennifer Lawrence hate. It's Mystique (played by Jennifer Lawrence) hate.Hey, why does everyone hates Jeniffer now? I thought we liked her
At least my hate is for that. I don't recall seeing much hate for her (out of the ordinary, as there is always some hate for every star) when she's involved in something other than X-Men.

I'm indifferent to Lawrence, but Mystique would be the LAST character in Fox's X-Men that should jump to the MCU. If there's any X-Men character that should show up in Guardians, it should be Shadowcat. I'm probably in the minority, but I think the relationship she's got going on with Quill in the comics right now is adorable.

Yay, maybe the X-Men movies can stop being about that dumb character then.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
the butt incident, among other things
I want to use this opportunity to make it known that I never liked JLaw, long before it was cool
I have no idea. Romjin was in another league compared to Lawrence's dull, boring interpretation of the character. Hated it.
Ditto. She had good management pushing the media darling angle. Never, ever bought into it.
Her "I'm just a regular person" schtick got fucking old real fast.
Plus some people never liked her nonsense.

No, there's some serious hate for her here. Especially a few years back when she was the talk of the town.
Tons of hate was directed towards her when she was giving goofy interviews and tripping over herself and shit; When she talked about her thoughts on female actors getting paid less than their male counterparts, people were personally shitting on her career for not being talented enough to to get paid fairly, etc

Wild space adventures have always been a big part of the X-Men comics. Many of their greatest villains come from space and it's frustrating that Fox continues to ignore all that stuff. It's a natural setting for many of them.
Fox could take both of the Marvel franchises they own to space for years and never run out of good material

I still like JLaw, why would anyone dislike her?
She's hot and the movies were garbo with or without her. Not her fault Fox pushed Mystique because of her fame.

I like her. But, she certainly didn't shine in these movies. And them focusing so much on Mystique because of Lawrence getting super famous after First Class just sucked.
I'm pretty happy we seemingly won't be getting a true sequel to Apocalypse for a variety of resons, one of which is I don't give a damn about seeing that shit character leading the X-Men.
Uh, so what?
Deadpool(and Ryan Reynolds) would like a word.

...ooooooooh.
Okay, nevermind. I understand now. Yes, i'm sure gaf hates her guts eternally.
I thought she was a cool mystique, but i guess i don't know what mystique is supposed to be like? I dunno
There are a lot of unbelievably angry and bitter people here. They'll go out of their way to find reasons to judge and hate on anything, not just celebrities.
