I know what you’re thinking, “Oh great, Seth Rogen probably loves Marvel movies and now Mike isn’t going to shut up about it.” Wrong! He’s actually not a fan. In fact, he thinks they’re “geared for kids” and not for him as “someone who doesn’t have children.” Sure, that’s close to the condescending rants of obnoxious Film Bros and Bro-ettes who call them “baby movies for babies,” but the difference is Rogen isn’t a dick about it. It’s an honest and fair critique. These things aren’t for everybody, which is fine. Sure, he runs a TV show that ruthlessly skewers the whole genre and its fan culture, but that comes from a long love of comics and how books like The Boys can have a goddamn blast with that landscape.
