Seth Rogen on why MCU movies just aren't for him: 'It is [all] kind of geared toward kids, you know? There are times where I will forget. I’ll watch one of these things, as an adult with no kids, and be like, ‘Oh, this is just not for me.''
Seth Rogen has offered his opinion regarding the ongoing debate surrounding the financial and cultural success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealing that he isn't particularly a fan of the franchise's tone. Recent years have seen several filmmakers speak out in opposition and defense of the massive superhero franchise, which has dominated the box office for well over a decade.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While currently working as a producer on the fourth season of the adult superhero series The Boys, Amazon Prime's biggest show of 2022, Rogen revealed his thoughts on the state of modern cinema to Total Film. The filmmaker revealed that, while he has seen several MCU projects over the years, he doesn't get the same enjoyment from them as other audience members.
I think that Kevin Feige is a brilliant guy, and I think a lot of the filmmakers he’s hired to make these movies are great filmmakers. But as someone who doesn’t have children… It is [all] kind of geared toward kids, you know? There are times where I will forget. I’ll watch one of these things, as an adult with no kids, and be like, ‘Oh, this is just not for me.
Although Seth Rogen's comments may not sit well with some, his opinion on the MCU, whether correct or not, has helped make The Boys one of the greatest and most popular streaming shows in recent years. In his interview, Rogen cited his feelings toward Marvel movies as one of the reasons he wanted to make a superhero series aimed at adults.
While the MCU has remained the leading movie franchise at the box office, it is not without its detractors. The Boys, however, manages to take the biggest criticisms about the MCU and weave them together into an entertaining story that provides much-needed satire about the popular genre. The rise of similar adult-focused superhero stories like Invincible, in which Rogen also stars, proves that The Boys is still striking a chord with audiences.
