Flagship figure of the MCU, Chris Hemsworth aka Thor in Avengers Galaxy has expressed his fed up with the criticism against Marvel.
We’re not going to lie to each other. It’s quite easy to shoot the racing car the ambulance that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially in recent years. After saving a chaotic year 2023 with the failure ofAnt-Man 3the disaster The Marvelsor even the cata series Secret Invasion, the Marvel brand has lost its strength. So much so that Bob Iger, the boss of Disney, himself recognized it and announced that there would now be fewer films and series.
But opinions against Marvel are not new, far from it. In a fairly well-known statement from 2019, Martin Scorsese explained that these films were “not cinema“, and Francis Ford Coppola supported his sidekick by calling these blockbusters “contemptible“. Since then, Quentin Tarantino has also given his relatively negative opinion on these productions. These statements have divided, created numerous debates, and have emerged with each failure of the MCU.
Asked once again on the question, Chris Hemsworth explained how unfair he finds these attacks.
So, we don’t know if it’s cinema or not, but it clearly wasn’t great
but who has thor?
This is as part of an interview with The Times UK for the promotion of Furiosa, in which he plays Dr. Dementus, which Chris Hemsworth spoke out about bashing Marvel. More precisely, it was on the comments made by Scorsese and Coppola that we asked the Australian actor for his opinion:
“It was hard. And it bothers me, especially from heroes like them. People who attack superheroes make me roll my eyes. These people also had films that didn’t didn’t work — we’ve all had them. When they were talking about what was wrong with superheroes, I was like, “Cool, tell that to the billions of people watching them. Were they all wrong? “
Nerds on edge
The interpreter of Thor in the solo films and Avengers keep on going :
“Cinema has not changed because of superheroes, but because of smartphones and social networks […] Superhero movies kept people in theaters during this transition and now people are coming back. So they deserve a little more recognition.”
Rather angry Chris
we must save the marvel soldier
Chris Hemsworth also returned to the various actors having criticized Marvel films, after having appeared in One of them. If he doesn’t name any of them, we can still think of Christian Bale (Thor: Love and Thunder), Christopher Eccleston (Thor 2), Ray Winstone (Black Widow), or even to Idris Elba, who played Heimdall in the MCU.
And Chris Hemsworth doesn’t like that either:
“It’s like saying, “These are successful films, put me in one of them.” Oh, mine didn’t work? I’m going to denigrate them.” I grew up doing soap opera, and it bothered me when the actors talked about it afterwards feeling ashamed. Humility really matters. One of the oldest actors on Home and Away said, ‘You don’t get paid to say the right lines, you get paid to make the wrong ones work.’ It stuck with me.”
We should just think about paying the VFX artists, and we will be good
Chris Hemsworth is obviously not the first nor the last Marvel soldier to defend the successes and popularity of the studio. At the beginning of 2024, Chris Evans aka Captain America said:
“Making a film is hard. More cooks in the kitchen doesn’t make the job easier. I don’t want to point fingers at this or that project in the Marvel catalog, but some of them are phenomenal. These are objectively excellent films regardless [du MCU] and I think they deserve a little more recognition.”
Either way, Chris Hemsworth will be in Furiosaon May 22 at the cinema (and which we will discover at the Cannes Film Festival), so for that alone we can forgive him everything.
