"I think when we tend to Marvel-ise the movies now - we got the villains and we got the good guys - and it's so boring. What's really interesting about life is that some of the heroes are flawed and some of the villains are human and interesting and have their own strengths."
"It's messier. That's what I like about The Devil Wears Prada 2. It presents a more realistic view of characters, moving away from the simplistic moral dichotomy."
Meryl Streep critiques the trend of simplifying films into clear-cut heroes and villains, which she refers to as 'Marvel-ising.' She believes this approach is unrealistic and dull. Streep appreciates the complexity of characters, noting that heroes can be flawed and villains can possess human qualities. In discussing her role in The Devil Wears Prada 2, she highlights the film's messier portrayal of characters, contrasting it with the simplistic narratives prevalent in many modern films.
