Summary
- Chris Evans believes comic book movies are difficult to make
- He acknowledges the large amount of people involved in the process and the challenges that come with it
- Good storytelling should be the priority, rather than pushing an agenda, and this is the key to making successful comic book movies
Former Captain America and Marvel star, Chris Evans, thinks comic book movies are hard to make.
The actor recently appeared at the Emerald City Comic Con and addressed the topic of âsuperhero fatigue,â which is the excuse everybody in Hollywood seems to be using for the failures of flicks such as Madame Web, The Marvels, The Flash, and the MCUâs Phase 4 and beyond approach, which also includes Disney+.
âTheyâre not easy to makeâ
âComic book movies in general, for whatever reason, donât always get the credit that I think they deserve,â Evans said. âI think theyâre these big, giant movies, thereâs a lot of cooks in the kitchen. But I think the empirical evidence is in: theyâre not easy to make. If it was easier, thereâd be a lot more good ones.â
Evans added: âIâm not throwing shade! Iâve been a part of a few that missed. It happens! Making a movie is tough. Itâs tough. More cooks in the kitchen doesnât make it easier. The Russo brothers have really done some great work. I donât want to highlight specific films in the Marvel catalog, but some of them are phenomenal, just really objectively, independently great movies, and I think they deserve a little more credit.â
Russo brothers get it
The Russo brothers are behind some of the MCUâs best movies including Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Infinity War, and the pair are also responsible for Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame.
Regarding the notion of âsuperhero fatigue,â fans really arenât tired of comic book movies, what they are tired of is all the crappy writing that has come with Hollywood trying to send The Message, which always comes at the expense of a good story. To Hollywood, itâs not about coming up and telling a good story, itâs about making sure the fans understand the agenda, which is driven by political correctness, aka is woke.
So since all the woke content that Hollywood has been putting out nearly for the past decade has been a massive failure, particularly with CBMs, Hollywood is trying to spin things as if there is âsuperhero failureâ â but what they are doing is blaming everyone else but themselves, just as that recent Disney exec did.
Itâs not the fans that are to blame, itâs these Hollywood clowns who place agenda ahead of story.
Donât replace original characters, donât shit on original characters, donât shit on the creators, donât shit on fans. Donât make it about an agenda instead of a good story. Not hard. https://t.co/TeGwZ3jvdX
