Elizabeth Olsen has become an important part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with appearances in 6 films, including the successful series WandaVision. This is also the reason why she became extremely angry and disappointed when many famous directors criticized Marvel films.
Specifically, Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese once described the Marvel Cinematic Universe as “more like an amusement park” than true cinema. Meanwhile, the director of the classic movie The Godfather said that Marvel movies “are all the same and are remade over and over again to look different”. Being judged like this made Olsen feel insulted as she was considered to be producing a film of a “lower art genre”.
Not only that, many audiences also seem quite tired of Marvel movies and do not consider this a true movie. The Marvel star believes that these critics are not appreciating the efforts of the film crew.
“I’m not saying they’re independent art films, it’s just that it takes away the distinction in our filmmaking team. That makes me so uncomfortable,” the WandaVision star shared, “They are the best designers, great cinematographers. I feel that such criticism has taken away the glory of the award-winning people with these film projects.”
“From an actor’s perspective, I understand that there are many different types of acting. However, I believe that looking down on Marvel movies is looking down on the efforts of hundreds of talented people in the production team.” . That’s why I feel angry,” the actress added.
Until now, there is still a lot of controversy surrounding whether Marvel’s superhero movies deserve to be honored or not.
