As a gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen the evolution of the gaming industry from 8-bit pixels to high-resolution graphics. Similarly, I’ve witnessed the birth and growth of the superhero genre on the big screen, and it’s been quite the spectacle!
Martin Scorsese and Roland Emmerich have voiced criticisms towards Marvel films, likening them to amusement park rides and claiming they hinder original blockbusters from being produced. Similarly, Jamie Lee Curtis, star of “Halloween,” has expressed her opinion that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is experiencing a decline. It’s clear that in our current cultural landscape, expressing skepticism about superhero movies can spark debate and controversy.
At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Curtis was interviewed by MTV and asked about the current phase of the superhero franchise. Instead of mincing words, she bluntly expressed that it’s “struggling” or “facing challenges”, as the franchise is actually in Phase 5. Her assessment might be due to personal insights or perspectives.
As a gamer, I couldn’t help but crack a joke during our Comic-Con panel with James McAvoy and Ema Horvath (and others). It was meant to be a bit of fun, but my comment seems to have sparked a wildfire! Now, I find myself apologizing for my take on popular superhero movies in the “Borderlands” spotlight.
Jamie Lee Curtis is done criticizing Marvel
Jamie Lee Curtis has previously taken a playful jab at the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2022, she expressed her opinion that “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” was inferior to “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a film she starred in and which delves into similar concepts about multiple realms. Although this judgment is subjective, the success of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” at the Oscars and its potential influence on the Academy indicate that many viewers share her sentiment. However, following another disagreement with Marvel, Curtis seems to have grown tired of criticizing the franchise.
As a passionate gamer, I’ll admit my Marvel commentary was immature and I’m determined to up my game. I’ve contacted Kevin Feige and vowed to steer clear of the cutthroat, clickbait-filled internet arena where unnecessary rivalry thrives. No more engaging in pointless debates or sensationalist content designed for views, not genuine dialogue or meaningful interaction.
It appears that Curtis is trying to wrap up this matter and focus on her own life from now on. Time will tell if others can follow suit, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will carry on, no matter what people think or feel about it, for some time ahead.
