Marvel Cinematic Universe is the most successful film franchise of all time. The film franchise has been recognized even by critics, won Oscars, and has gained massive fans. This series has raised the names of class B superheroes such as Iron Man and Captain America to be on par with the most famous Superheroes such as Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four - have catapulted the names of actors like Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Scarlett Johansson and revived Robert Downey Jr. in the downturn of his career.
For a franchise that has been running for more than ten years, MCU is arguably free of drama. There was no news of sexual harassment by the director or other embarrassing events. However, that does not mean the MCU is truly holy. In addition to facing extraordinary success, Marvel Studio and Disney as the developers and Production House of MCU have also met a variety of events that upset fans, anger, and others. Here are some scandals that have happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie:
1. Troubled with the directors
Marvel Studios has made amazing films, but if you pay attention to a viewpoint, not a fanatical fan - there are no significant differences between the movie. Relying on the development of characters and CGI exhibitions is stunning plus comedy seasonings that are spread throughout the film. Winter Soldier might be an exception, but besides the film? We don't get a significant difference. Of course, the director wanted to add their uniqueness to the Marvel movie they were working on, but maybe it was only less than ten percent, and the rest of the films looked just the same as the other directors had released before. Moreover, if the Director says he wants more than ten percent, then maybe he won't be in the Marvel Studio family for long.
Reporting from Screenrant.com, it is common knowledge that the MCU often unloads the director because of this problem. The latest is Ava DuVernay who resigned from handling the Black Panther, and he said: "this will not be Ava DuVernay's film." Patty Jenkins (Director of Wonder Woman) also shared the same problem in making a deal with Marvel. He was initially recruited to deal with Thor: The Dark World, but after about two months he made a painful, sad decision: he left the Thor sequel movie, while Marvel, who was rumored to be from Variety - was no longer interested in the story Patty Jenkins wanted to bring.
Also, the most famous is their argument with Edgar Wright. The British director and writer were initially being recruited to handle Ant-Man since 2006, but Edgar Wright explained to Variety, "I want to make Marvel films, but it seems they don't want to make a film Edgar Wright." After they decided to write the film without him, he said goodbye to the MCU. It's a disappointing farewell, and this is increasingly proving that no Filmmaker lives too long with the MCU Style, which tends to be repetitive.
2. Arguing with Actors
Most actors enjoy working with the Marvel project, but when Chris Evans and Chris Pratt seem happy, others don't enjoy their time with the Avengers. Reporting from the Hollywood Reporter, Natalie Portman wanted Patty Jenkins to handle Thor: The Dark World, so of course, the Oscar-winning actress was very annoyed when Marvel Studio decided to deal with Jenkins. However, what's the power, Natalie Portman has signed a contract. Yes, we can see that from his appearance in the film which is not as good as the general appearance. Reporting from screenrant.com, when asked why he did not take part in Thor: Ragnarok he just said, "As far as I know, I'm done (with Marvel Studios)."
Reporting from Dailymail.com, Mickey Rourke has also been arguing with Marvel Studio after the release of Iron Man 2. Mickey Rourke wants his character, Ivan Vanko aka Whiplash, to be a more complex character than that shown by Iron Man 2 that we know. However, Marvel actually cut nearly 60% of the scene from its cast and only left us the worst Villain MCU, and we've ever seen it. Of course, the best known is the Marvel Studio squabble with the original Bruce Banner. Reporting from ENews.com, Oscar-winning actor Edward Norton reportedly wanted to take part in making the script even though he was not an executive producer team, he insisted on revising the Incredible Hulk manuscript because according to him the film script was not very good, but Marvel refused and made Edward Norton angry, and it seemed that the Actor's attitude was reasonable considering the film rating was quite low on various film sites and did not even break the top of the box office. This also happened to James Rhodes original or Terrence Howard. Although Marvel studio covered it by saying that the problem that involved him was the issue of honorarium. For all the fun Marvel has given us, sometimes it causes hurt to the actors.
3. The issue of equality in Marvel films
Today, MCU is a very comfortable place, with films such as Captain Marvel and Black Panther that uphold equality and feminism. However, something like that didn't happen under the leadership of Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter. You need to know, and the movie Captain Marvel should be released in the first phase of the MCU, hand in hand with Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk and Ike Perlmutter are the people responsible for the delay. Much is known from the official Sony Pictures e-mail address. Besides the deals on Spider-Man, the incident also revealed that Ike Perlmutter was strongly opposed to making films about women eradicating crime. Reporting from Variety.com, in one of his e-mails, he cited films such as Electra and Catwoman as proof that women's superhero films cannot make money. However, look now! Captain Marvel has made more than one billion dollars, cough cough.
This is not the first time Perlmutter has made a controversial statement. When Don Cheadle replaced Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2, the CEO said that no one would realize it because he's blackface was the same. So once again, it took a long time for Marvel to make a superhero film dominated by black actors or female main characters. Fortunately, in 2015, there was a massive reorganization in Marvel's body. Disney moved Perlmutter from the CEO to Chairman of Marvel Entertainment. Most importantly, Kevin Feige was given full power over the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, when we see how extraordinary phase 3 MCUs are, everyone finally realizes that Perlmutter is just an MCU resistor.
4. Disasters in The Age of Ultron contracted to the real world ... For Marvel
When the Avengers: Age of Ultron has exciting things like James Spader, who plays a stylish Psychotic robot - the film is also a hit with various controversies. Like for example, some people consider it not a good thing Tony Stark made a joke about rape. Then there was the noise made by Black Widow. During the film, the sexy superhero called himself a monster after saying he had been forced to do a vasectomy at school to become a trained killer. The statement invited negative comments directed at him. Many feel angry that he shouldn't call himself a monster just because he can't have children, most of the negative comments were posted on director Joss Whedon.
However, that's not the only disaster that stressed Josh Whedon. Reporting from zergnet.com, Marvel producer executives kept forcing him to change the famous scene where Thor went to find info about Infinity Stone. Whedon was so frustrated with the change and wanted to cut it off, but reported by Screenrant.com Marvel said if he did that he would also lose the scene where the Avengers arrived at Hawkeye farm. Marvel Studios also allegedly wanted Whedon to cut the scene where our hero was under the Scarlet Witch spell. So can be seen alone, all the dramas produce films that ... Say mess. Reporting from the Hollywood reporter, even though Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) has begged Josh Whedon to remain in this franchise, the director reportedly said he would never handle Marvel films again.
5. Whitewashing on Doctor Strange
Bringing Doctor Strange to the big screen eventually became a challenge. Moreover, the biggest challenge came from the Ancient One. In the comics, the magician looks like ... Witch. The older man, a mysterious Asian Mongoloid who gave his knowledge to white men. What went so smoothly in the comic did not happen in the big screen version of 2016 yesterday. So the story, the director Scott Derrickson considered displaying Ancient One as an Asian woman. However, reported by TheDailyBeast.com, He soon realized that he would stumble into another stereotype, he said, "imagining that an Asian actress would play a witch character, it was a Straight-up Dragon Lady." Dragon Lady is a stereotypical term popular in The blue continent and America in the 50s to the late 90s were aimed at women from East Asia and Southeast Asia as strong, cunning, domineering, or mysterious figures because of the influence of Chinese and Japanese films that featured such female antagonists. Therefore he changed his mind to recruit Asian women to portray Ancient One. This case is also similar to the case of the sequel to the film Fantastic Beast, where Nagini, who is a stealth figure of a snake who has a cunning and mysterious stereotype played by a Korean actress.
Instead, Scott Derrickson transformed Ancient One into a Celtic female figure played by Oscar-winning actress, Tilda Swinton, and finally, she got racist stereotypes. As a result, critics and fans were very angry with this "Bleaching." However, in this state, Scott Derrickson does not try to be evil or racist - quite the opposite - and he has expressed regret for angering many people. However, the character of The Ancient One itself is too problematic and very complex, so giving that role to the Tilda Swinton class actress is not a wrong step. Besides, in this film, there is also an Asian actor, Benedict Wong, whose character plays a central role, so there is no reason to call Scott Derrickson a racist.
6. Captain America and Hawkeye demean the Black Widow
Tony Stark is a Playboy even in his old age, and everyone also thinks it's cool. Steve Rogers dated his niece, his dead lover, and no one cared about the vaguely visible form of pedophilia. However, when Natasha Romanoff smiled seductively at more than one man, he was immediately labeled "prostitute" by men who should know him better than us.
Reporting from Digital Spy, While doing promotions for the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, Chris Evans, and Jeremy Renner conducted an interview. When a subject about Black Widow is asked, this is where the problem starts. At MCU, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) worked with a group of male superheroes and formed friendships with two men, Hawkeye, and Captain America. He has never been involved in any romance moments with both, although some fans like hoping there will be a sexy scene between him and one of them.
When it was discovered that Natasha would be involved in a romantic scene with Bruce Banner in the film, Journalists from Digital Spy asked Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner what they were thinking about the Black Widow relationship with characters who could turn into these monsters. That's when Jeremy Renner put the word "prostitute," while Chris Evans immediately added that the first Avengers female characters in the MCU were trained prostitutes. The statement offended many fans and several parties engaged in feminism, and after massive protests aimed at both, and reported by Entertainment Weekly, they immediately gave an account of apology.
7. Captain Marvel is too loud
Brie Larson is the perfect choice to play Captain Marvel. The Oscar-winning actress performed Carol Danvers with determination, the dominance of empathy, and a high sense of humor. However, when Marvel first announced that the Kong star: Skull Island would play the strongest Marvel Superhero in the universe, the internet had a scene in a negative sense. Reporting from Variety, from hundreds of angry tweets to videos on YouTube, they expressed disapproval. This is because in Hollywood Brie Larson is a person who includes loud voicing feminism and equality of race, gender, and class. He reportedly often issued quite provocative statements.
Reported from Vanityfair.com, in February Brie Larson said that white male journalists dominated the media coverage, and in his interview with Marie Claire, he wanted to see more female reporters and critics and non-white race.
All he wants is a little equality, but the Trolls (the name for the spreaders of hatred in America) continues to fry this issue by sharing various ways and narratives. From starting to manipulate scores on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb so that the two most popular film sites in the world made a rule not to rate unreleased films and eliminate the "want to see" column in this film (even now Rotten Tomatoes destined us to verify new cinema tickets give a rating). Not to mention the narratives pinned on the actress, especially when the first trailer began to circulate. From the start, Brie Larson, who was always judged to look bored and rarely smile to the size of his butt, was considered no better than Tom Holland's when wearing tight costumes.
However, all that nonsense can't stop Captain Marvel's might. In mid-April Captain, Marvel won nearly 1 billion dollars in America alone. Which one is very ordinary.
Something similar also happened to the Black Panther because the film was dominated by black and female actors, Star Wars: Force Awakens because it made Daisy Ridley the main character replacing Mark Hamill and the Ghost Buster remakes for replacing all the main characters with women.
8. Poor Mantis
When Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 appeared in theaters, most fans were quite satisfied with the sequel movie. However, not everyone is captivated by the film starring Chris Pratt, especially when they think of Mantis characters. In his comic, Mantis is a feminist icon, a reliable and robust fighter who can even bother the great actors like Thor, Iron Man, and Black Panther. He is amazing! However, that's not the version we got from James Gunn. Played by Pom Klementieff, the MCU version of Mantis is a shy and timid woman. On top of that, he was told to serve a white man as a servant and call him "Lord," so it is not wrong if most people think this plays back into racist stereotypes about Asian women who were once fighters which can then be subdued (by white men )
As if to make things worse, reviewers considered that this film was too cruel to that character. Most of the rough jokes came from Drax (Dave Bautista) who kept calling the ugly and disgusting Mantis. When this is meant for laughs - even though Klementiff looks so pretty - some people worry that such a joke about a woman's appearance might send a negative message to girls who are constantly bombarded with negative judgments about their appearance. They will never be satisfied with their appearance as long as there are those who judge their appearance terrible. Bloggers and critics are not the only ones who aren't happy with this MCU version of Mantis. Steve Englehart, who is a co-created of Marvel characters, said, "I am not happy with the role of Mantis (in the film). She is not Mantis at all."
9. James Gunn's tweet
Perhaps the most famous scandal is the scandal involving James Gunn. Reporting from CNN.com, the embarrassment began in early 2018, when one Twitter user dug up his previous tweet and found a tweet of controversial jokes about rape (same-sex) and Pedophilia, and when James Gunn only intended to joke, it turned out to be viewed differently by everyone. This incident caused Disney to immediately fire him from the Guardians of the Galaxy Project, which caused Marvel's world to be covered by obscurity. Actors like Dave Bautista, Chris Pratt, until Bradley Cooper refused to star in the third sequel of their film if James Gunn was not the one who directed it.
Twitter also exploded over the news of this dismissal. While James Gunn himself kept apologizing for his rumors, he said that over time he had become a far different person than people who had tweeted interesting content like that.
However, as if ignoring the controversy that continued to resonate, Disney still refused to recruit James Gunn again ... until finally, the hardness of the head ended in early 2019. Reporting from Screenrant.com Disney has found a dead end in finding the right director to work on the third sequel to the Guardians Galaxy, especially with the pressure of the fans and the Cast. However, as if not satisfied with the excitement that suddenly came, Warner Bros. reached out to James and got him as a director to work on the sequel to Suicide Squad. However, Disney finally softened and gave an offer to James to finish the film he had started. Because yes, the Galaxy Guardian without James Gunn is not the Guardian Galaxy.
