Sebastian Stan claims it has become “convenient” to criticise Marvel
During a recent conversation with Variety, the MCU star suggested that it has become “really convenient to pick on” Marvel movies. “And that’s fine. Everyone’s got an opinion,” he added.
However, Stan went on to suggest that the superhero series is integral to the ecosystem of Hollywood. “They’re a big part of what contributes to this business and allows us to have smaller movies as well,” he stated, “This is an artery traveling through the system of this entire machinery that’s Hollywood. It feeds in so many more ways than people acknowledge.”
The actor admitted to sometimes feeling “protective” over the product “because the intention is really fucking good.” Stan continued, “It’s just fucking hard to make a good movie over and over again.”
Back in the day, the western and sci Fi movie genres were looked at as fads and the old directors and actors jagged them and used to say they couldn’t wait till this fad dies.
It feels the same now with these old directors who don’t get it immediately dismissing it cause they don’t understand it. They’re doing the exact same thing that old directors used to do to them when they broke in.
Instead of just looking at a popular genre and saying “it’s not for me” they have to bitch and moan about something they don’t even watch. Cause frankly I highly doubt scorcese has ever even watched a marvel film while bitching about them
