Actress Teyonah Parris, who plays Monica Rambeau in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, responds to 'The Marvels,' now on Disney+, underperforming at the box office. 'You do not have to like something, but give it a chance by actually seeing it and forming your own opinion,' she tells PEOPLE.
I mean, I understand wanting the movie you are starring in to do well, but all she is arguing is that people spent time and effort to make the movie and that people should watch it for that. Yeah well, that’s true for virtually every movie, or any work of art really.
I can totally relate to that. I mean, to be in a big superhero move that you think is really good and see it not find a strong reception probably feels terrible.
It’s not her fault. But from the movie trailers it looked badly constructed. I can’t give two hours of my time for something I’m convinced is going to be a disappointment for me.

She’s arguing that critics should watch it before they criticize it, out of respect for the people who spent time and effort to make it.
