The Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone through a rough patch in the years since Avengers: Endgame This is the end of the Infinity Saga. Everyone has made their feelings known about the movie’s inconsistencies, especially lately, but there’s clearly a limit to who can utter some scolding words.
If you haven’t heard, Jamie Lee Curtis has expressed her thoughts on the current quality of the Marvel Universe. While doing promotions for next week Borderlands, she was asked about Marvel’s current stage, and she responded, “Not good.” Naturally, it went viral and things escalated from there. She later apologized, calling her comments “stupid and I would have done better.” I have contacted Kevin Feige and will no longer participate in this mud-sandbox competition we call the Internet.

Curtis is in a very strange situation because she doesn’t say anything particularly vicious. Again, it’s very clear that the more recent phases are not as strong as the earlier ones, and tend to be much harsher than Curtis. This isn’t even the first time she’s criticized the series. when coming back Doctor Strange 2 After it came out, she claimed that the main poster was plagiarized. Everything happens at the same time. It also doesn’t appear that anyone at Marvel has spoken out publicly about what they said about her comments, as has been the case with Martin Scorsese or other filmmakers making similar statements. After she apologized, Deadpool and Wolverine Star Ryan Reynolds called out the double standard and gave her a lifeline.
Some of which have to do with Curtis’ experience at Disney haunted house Restart and shooting Strange Friday 2. Of course, through this lens, she probably shouldn’t talk nonsense, but dead Pool The movie itself also takes a more pointed attack on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If Disney is the one asking her to apologize, they can’t really have their cake and eat it too. If this is just because of the public outcry…so bad? Jamie Lee Curtis is 65 years old and she should be able to joke around or not watch movies like everyone else. Fans have gradually transformed into ballistic missiles for businesses to use in times of need, which is not a good sign to begin with.
Marvel will eventually recover from this, and deadpool and wolverine On track to earn $1 billion and topping many “Best of 2024” lists. Let Curtis and others live their truth – if you want people to enjoy things, you should also give them the freedom to be their biggest haters.
