Unconventional MCU Favorite
Kathryn Hahn's revelation regarding her favorite MCU film has whipped up a storm among the franchise's fans. The ‘Agatha All Along' actress shocked everyone when she chose ‘Black Widow,' – the film featuring Scarlett Johansson's first lead role in MCU – as her favorite. Though not poorly received, ‘Black Widow' ranks fairly low among other MCU films, prompting fans to question Kathryn's choice.
Fan's Responses and Mixed Reactions
Following the revelation shared by the X page @CultureCrave and others, a wave of fan comments emerged, with most voicing surprise and disappointment. Some fans questioned Hahn's decision, suggesting that she might have chosen ‘Black Widow' simply because it's among the few female-led MCU films. Others felt she should have opted for a film with better ratings or viewer reception.
However, there were also supporters of Hahn's choice. Some hailed ‘Black Widow' as an underappreciated film, affirming that they found the movie quite cool. Fans' comments ranged from disbelief, asking if Kathryn “really said that?” to those defending the actress' choice.
Lower Rankings and Fans' Expectations
Amidst the controversy, it's interesting to note that ‘Black Widow' is not exactly a flop. It's ranked 23rd on Rotten Tomatoes' list of all 34 MCU films. The list also includes recently released films like ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.' However, fans expected Kathryn to pick a film from the higher-ranking ones.
Notably, ‘Black Widow' is also ranked lower among other Phase Four releases on Rotten Tomatoes. ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,' ‘Shang-Chi,' and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' come before ‘Black Widow.'
Past Favorites and Possible Considerations
The criticism from fans seems to imply that Katherine did not consider the top-rated MCU films. But this might not be the case. Kathryn, in the past, has mentioned ‘Black Panther' to be among her favorite MCU films. ‘Black Panther' currently holds the honor of the highest-rated MCU film on Rotten Tomatoes with a rating of 96%.
The controversy surrounding Kathryn's favorite MCU film choice has indeed stirred up a storm among fans. Yet it seems likely that the actress has her reasons for her choice. After all, she previously mentioned ‘Black Panther' as a favorite, indicating her appreciation of well-received films. For now, all MCU films, including ‘Black Widow,' ‘Black Panther,' and other projects, can be streamed on Disney+. Fans may continue to debate about it, but ultimately, it's each individual's personal preference that determines their favorites.
