Why do men ask women to smile? This phenomenon occurs frequently enough to demand an explanation, and I have unconsciously done it myself a few times in the past. Do we do it with a genuine intention of spreading cheer and positivity? Or is there a more sinister, controlling motive behind it?

Brie Larson, star of Marvel’s first movie with a solo female superhero lead, has been bombarded with internet trolls since the release of the trailer for ‘Captain Marvel,’ asking why she is not sporting a ‘cheesy’ grin. Some even went as far with their trolling as photoshopping a smile onto images of her. But why? Her character is not there simply to look pretty, and she is a badass superhero on a mission to save the Earth from an alien invasion! Not exactly much to smile about in that situation I’d imagine. In response, knowing that she receives this kind of pressure simply because she is female, she decided to have a little photoshop fun of her own. She posted images of male Marvel superheroes looking positively delighted, baring their pearly-whites with radiant smiles. See how ridiculous it looks? These men certainly weren’t criticized for not smiling enough, and they were praised for their gritty portrayals of sometimes dark and serious characters.

Unfortunately, it seems that this genre of movie attracts a higher proportion of insecure guys that can’t handle a kickass, confident woman who doesn’t look exactly the way that they would prefer, and that is the crux of the issue. Many men are socialized to believe that women exist solely to look good for them and feel like it’s OK to instruct women on how they should act and feel.

The famous actress, a superhero both on and off-screen, followed up by saying: “Breaking news: You can be you. That means you can smile or not. You can be strong in the ways you want to be. You can own who you are. If anyone tells you different, don’t trust them.” And she is 100% right. So come on guys, let’s stop telling women to smile. It really is none of our business, and she will smile when it comes naturally to her, not just because you find it to be pleasing!

Scroll down below to check out the hilariously photoshopped images of Marvel characters below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Remember the days when men didn't insist women always smile? Oh, yeah, those days haven't happened yet... Brie was right. Those a******s deserved to be called out, so all the hater twits on Twitter should just disappear back down into their moms' basements.

These movies are about serious things and situations, smiling in trailers or movie posters is ridiculous unless it's an actual comedy. And WHY was she the ONLY super hero character to be attacked about her lack of smile?!?! No one else was. These are hilarious pics, and just highlights how ridiculous it is to tell her to smile or not look so serious!

Brilliant, the subtle double standards in our society are in many ways more restrictive than blatant sexism. They are easier to accept and harder to criticize, but the result is the same; treating women as second class citizens.

I think we can all agree that Thanos should smile more. And hopefully to mind our own f*****g business regarding whether someone chooses to smile or not. I just can't believe that someone made an issue out of this, the world is too full of self abuse experts for my liking.

Not watching the Trailer as they ruin films noawadays. But I remember learning to fly in the air cadets. It’s stressful, pressured and scary. Anyone laughing as they get into a $200 million jet to fly a combat mission (is it set during the Desert shield/storm?) and potentially kill dozens of people shouldn’t be allowed to fly the mission. And she looks great with a moody face too (damnit, so close to a woke comment!)

This isn't directly related: I noticed a guy with a big red X in his Twitter user name as one of the critics. I follow an popular german Twitter account and noticed that all of those who started adding that to their names are right or extreme right, and sometimes trolls. Some people are started adding red O to their names to counteract it. Edit for anyone interested: the red X is actually a international maritime signal flag and stand for V (Victor) or "I require assistance."

Honestly, I watched the trailer and it bugged me because she just lacks expression in general. Like she isn't angry, determined or anything. She has like ONE mode, and it's kinda bland. It was really disappointing, actually. I have high hopes for the movie and am kinda worried that she may be a kinda stiff and wooden actress. I didn't want her to smile at all, I want her to look badass and determined and cool, like furrow her brows and look ANGRY and such like Black Widow does. She just doesn't in the trailer. I personally think this is the issue most people have with the trailer, not that she isn't smiling.

Am confused. Firstly, as a girl I really don't think I've ever been told to smile specifically, aside from pics/friends/family trying to cheer me up etc. Secondly, I'm not sure why everyone keeps going on about smiles at all - at least the first 2 comments up there are simply about her face/facial expression and don't mention smiling at all. Which tbh she does look a bit odd in that picture, not because no smile but just completely uninterested in whatever is going on somehow...but perhaps it's just that one pic giving that impression. This all just seems so grossly blown out of proportion to me...

If someone may have facial peripheral neuropathy or Bell's Palsy, (God Forbid BOTH!!!) Smiling may just cause pain or simply be impossible for them to do. So, control your impulse to ask people to smile. You just might not ruin their day!

I understand that she is trying to show some level of coolness in any situation but some people interprets it as bad acting - that she has only one tough face. it was the same with kristen stewart and she became a meme for that. that is all

I feel violated. By the music of the trailer. Like seriously, this is a movie trailer, not a dubstep party with most of the attendees drunk/ stoned. Tone the music down a bit, I've never seen someone walking down a corridor so dramatically.

Most of the people just said she was expressionless, not that she wasn't smiling... the guy who "fixed it" was most likely making a joke.

I think that some people are thinking too hard about it. I've heard female friends say exactly the same thing to sombre male friends. I suspect that this is just a matter of situtation, and exaggerated response...

They are super heroes,.....it's not a goofy comedy. Besides, when they are their 'alter-egos', out of costume, they smile all the time. If you think the '....super hero face' is stupid, watch something else.

People aren't happy with anything; no wonder imbeciles love to give my down-vote button a run for their money. Idiots are always looking for a new way to feel offended. Well, your breathing offends me. Wanna do something about it?

I wish I could do something about it, Rebecah sweetie. I don't get invited to sleepovers anymore because I snore like a buzz saw. :(

I feel violated. By the music of the trailer. Like seriously, this is a movie trailer, not a dubstep party with most of the attendees drunk/ stoned. Tone the music down a bit, I've never seen someone walking down a corridor so dramatically.

Most of the people just said she was expressionless, not that she wasn't smiling... the guy who "fixed it" was most likely making a joke.

I think that some people are thinking too hard about it. I've heard female friends say exactly the same thing to sombre male friends. I suspect that this is just a matter of situtation, and exaggerated response...

I get told that by strangers all the time. I worked at conventions and it happened a lot. My male colleagues never got told to smile.

Some of them look like deranged killers but a lot of them look better, the stupid super hero face that a lot of them pull needs to be retired.

They are super heroes,.....it's not a goofy comedy. Besides, when they are their 'alter-egos', out of costume, they smile all the time. If you think the '....super hero face' is stupid, watch something else.
