Adam Devine Blames Marvel and Superhero Movies for Decline in Hollywood Comedy

The renowned actor and comedian Adam Devine, best known for his roles in “Pitch Perfect” and “The Out-Laws,” has recently taken a bold stance on the state of comedy in Hollywood. During a candid conversation on the podcast “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” Devine expressed his concern about the impact of Marvel and other superhero movies on the comedic landscape of the entertainment industry.

Devine didn’t hold back as he shared his thoughts on the shifting nature of comedy films. He pointed out a significant shift away from traditional comedy movies, with the industry favoring a hybrid genre of action-comedy. According to him, this has led to a noticeable increase in action sequences while the comedic elements take a back seat.

He used his own upcoming movie, “The Out-Laws,” as an example, explaining how modern films often employ a strategy of alternating between action-packed scenes and comedic moments. Devine stated, “You have to like mask it. This is why it’s a big action-comedy because you really have to go like action, action, and then it’s a comedy.”

Devine’s concerns extended to what he perceives as a lack of genuine humor in many modern comedy films. He questioned the absence of traditional comedic elements like jokes and bits, leaving audiences feeling underwhelmed by what is supposed to be a comedy.

The actor went on to attribute this decline in the comedy genre to the immense popularity of Marvel and other superhero films. He boldly stated, “My theory is I think Marvel ruined it.” Devine elaborated on this theory by highlighting the audience’s growing appetite for large-scale productions, which often come with substantial budgets, action-packed sequences, and impressive visual effects. This shift in audience expectations, according to Devine, has made it difficult for traditional comedy films to compete for viewers’ attention and box office success.

Devine’s viewpoint is not unique within the industry. Notable figures like Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have also expressed similar sentiments, criticizing the influence of superhero movies on traditional comedic storytelling.

In conclusion, Adam Devine’s candid remarks shed light on the evolving landscape of comedy in Hollywood. The rise of superhero films, with their emphasis on action and spectacle, has led to a noticeable decline in traditional comedy movies. Devine’s critique raises important questions about the balance between humor and action in modern films and the future of the comedy genre in the entertainment industry.
