“It’s become really convenient to pick on [Marvel films],” Sebastian Stan said. “And that’s fine. Everyone’s got an opinion. But they’re a big part of what contributes to this business and allows us to have smaller movies as well. This is an artery traveling through the system of this entire machinery that’s Hollywood. It feeds in so many more ways than people acknowledge.”
“Sometimes I get protective of it because the intention is really fucking good,” Stan added at the time. “It’s just fucking hard to make a good movie over and over again.”
Stan’s Bucky/Winter Soldier will be front and center in next year’s Marvel tentpole “Thunderbolts,” and he hopes the character stays around long enough to meet Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom on the big screen.
“I hope I’m in a scene with him,” Stan says. “Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don’t know, probably not. After ‘Tropic Thunder,’ is there anything that guy can’t do?”
If people are “upset” about the MCU, it’s because of how much they like it and how they want it to be better than it’s become. And the idea that fans could “offer something better”, given Disney’s team of lawyers and copyright protections, is laughable. Like what, are fans going to film their own MCU movies & shows? The only thing we can offer is snarky comments on the internet, that’s all we’re allowed to do without getting sued, and I’m sure even that will be taken away from us within the next 10 years.
No, but you could create your own thing
