Jamie Lee Curtis Shouldn't Have To Apologize For Calling The MCU 'Bad'
Listen, Jamie’s just saying what a lot of us are already thinking
She isn't calling the MCU "bad." She's calling the current phase bad. Not exactly a hot take, I think a lot of the fans would agree that post Endgame has been very hit and miss. She doesn't need to apologize for this. I will be glad to take an apology from her about the Borderlands film and her role in it, though.

They literally say it in the most recent MCU movie. 😂
It's not bad, it's just kind of meh mostly. Shouldn't have to apologize though.
Also, Everything Everywhere All At Once is probably my favorite movie and Trading Places is possibly my favorite Christmas movie.

If you want another good Christmas story with Jamie Lee Curtis, might I recommend season 2 episode 6 of The Bear.
lol
The MCU is slop, JLC is right.
My brain, and it should have fucking known better!, just went "justice league what? DCU is still worse than marvel... Oh Jamie Lee Curtis. "
I'm so burnt out on acronyms and initialisms online these days. This is how i know im old now, cant keep up lol
To be fair, I made up JLC as an acronym for Jamie Lee Curtis on the spot lol
Even if she was the only person in the world thinking this she shouldn't have to apologise for her opinion. It's not as if she insulted individuals or something.
When Martin Scorsese said "Marvel Movies Aren't Cinema." He's right. Yes, it's a motion picture, and it's entertainment. But superhero movies are a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, but in the end signifying nothing. They have plastic, unrelateable characters that are there solely to be cheered and booed with some pseudoscientific mysterious nonsense that stands in for the gods and devils of mythology. If CG wasn't used to produce mind-numbing effects, the movies would look ridiculous and absurd. At least some older movies (like Superman I and II in the '70s) had Superman learn about the limits of his power and his ability to be a hero.
The same problem is with Star Trek. The TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY were about the characters and ideas. If the story is too tied up in the treknobabble or speculative technology, it becomes boring. It's about working together and growing from experience. Once it became about battles, speculative technology, petty squabbles and soap opera dynamics between characters, it became boring and unexceptional, just another expensive mediocre spectacle.
Thank you for this comment, I'm in agreement with Scorsese since he made the statement.
The films are entertaining for sure, but none of the Marvel films are what I'd call timeless masterpieces nor could I imagine them having that capability. The worst part is how Disney still try and bully cinemas to showing mostly films by them and their subsidiaries - other films here sometimes stay in a cinema for a week or so at most, and most slip under the radar for me to discover years later.
I'm fonder than most with regard to some of the recent outings, but as a take, and especially as a joke, calling the current Marvel phase "bad," is just sort of... well... true.
Disney is doing to Marvel what redditors are doing to jokes
Employing them as moderators?
"was asked what phase the MCU was in in a set of rapid-fire questions. Without skipping a beat, and likely due to the fact that she was literally representing a property that deals in mean jokes, Curtis simply responded, “Bad.”"
Such a missed opportunity... The correct answer is "hotdog fingers". :)
So... gay?
Nah, that would at least be entertaining.
Superhero movies are worthless drivel. I love cinema, go every week generally. I've stopped watching any of these stupid superhero action movies. I just don't care. They are poorly done, stories are wildly dull, and they don't deserve my money.
I'm lucky to be able to go to films from all regions of the world played on the big screen major cinema. The stuff being cranked out by Bollywood is far superior. The dramas, the action, the comedy, all better. Even their superhero movies are equally meh.
u so kino
It was bad when bucky and cap threw punches that Iron Man recoiled from
It's not bad, it's just mostly not good, just OK.
