Seth Rogen is a producer on Amazon Prime Video’s “The Boys,”
Rogen admitted that “The Boys” would not exist or be interesting without the MCU.
But he doesn’t watch Marvel movies. As an adult with no children, he finds it hard to get into the MCU, as it’s a bit too “geared toward” children for his personal taste.
Marvel stans are calling him out because he is producing a ninja turtles movie and is famous for dick jokes.
“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.'”
“Truthfully, without Marvel, ‘The Boys’ wouldn’t exist or be interesting. I’m aware of that. I think if it was only Marvel, it would be bad. But I think it isn’t - clearly. An example I’m always quoting is, there’s a point in history where a bunch of filmmakers would have been sitting around, being like, ‘Do you think we’ll ever make a movie that’s not a Western again? Everything’s a Western! Westerns dominate the fucking movies. If it doesn’t have a hat and a gun and a carriage, people aren’t going to go see it anymore.'”
