Marvel Star’s Take on Star Wars
Do you remember the hero Hulk from Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)? His real name is Mark Ruffalo, and he has something to say about Star Wars. A couple of years ago, he made a bold statement about Star Wars. What was it? He said Star Wars was predictable and just followed a set formula. This whole thing stirred up quite the fuss amongst Star Wars lovers. Fast forward a bit, and we have The Acolyte. And guess what? Its not-so-great reception seems to prove Ruffalo’s point.
What Ruffalo Said About Star Wars
Now let’s rewind a bit. During an interview for She-Hulk on Disney+, Ruffalo went ahead and shared his thoughts about Star Wars shows. He said that the humor, the timings, and fancy computer effects stayed the same in all the episodes. He then made a bold comparison of Star Wars to the MCU shows, pointing out what he thought were big problems with Star Wars.
Fans Respond to Ruffalo’s Statement
As you can imagine, the fans had quite a bit to say about Ruffalo’s views of Star Wars. Some fans nodded in agreement, while others were quick to point out that Ruffalo’s critique felt like it was more about the MCU than Star Wars. A handful of fans even stood up for Star Wars, noting how different the earlier episodes were.
Lessons from The Acolyte’s Reception
Jump to the release of The Acolyte, and it kinda looks like Ruffalo was onto something. The creators of the series got a lot of flak because it felt like they were sticking to the same old formula rather than coming up with new ways to tell stories. In fact, problems with the pacing and excessive use of computer effects made The Acolyte pretty much the embodiment of Ruffalo’s criticism: the same styles, the same feels were found again and again across the series.
Star Wars vs. MCU – A Comparison
Ruffalo’s comment on Star Wars got everyone talking about how similar or different the Star Wars franchise is from the MCU. Both have central storylines, but there are slight differences in the individual episodes. However, Ruffalo and many fans feel that, unlike Star Wars, MCU has found more unique ways to tell stories, with each episode feeling unique rather than repetitive.
In Conclusion…
So, it seems like Ruffalo was onto something with his comments about Star Wars. Some lovers of Star Wars stick by the franchise, arguing that the formulaic nature is part of the charm. But with The Acolyte’s reception being as it is, it’s hard to ignore Ruffalo’s thoughts from two years ago. Maybe it’s time for Star Wars to shake up their usual way of doing things and keep things fresh for their dedicated fans.
What Now?
The Acolyte is now streaming on Disney+. Only time will tell if the big shots at Star Wars take this as a lesson and try to change things up in their future work.
