Seth Rogen Made a Statement that Made Many People Furious

Seth Rogen recently said the last good high school movie was Superbad. The statement triggered a heated debate online. It’s true that Superbad became one of the highest-earning comedy films since the 1990s, but people within the high school movie industry felt offended by the statement. How did the 40-year-old comedian, actor, and filmmaker respond? Scroll down if you want to find out.

Seth Rogen on His Statement

Comedian Seth Rogen said he had no idea one simple statement would have such a negative backlash. But, as a fellow actor from Superbad, Jonah Hill, said, people hardly forget. So, a response was due, and Rogen gave it.

The star made it clear his comment was nothing but a joke. In fact, there have been many good comedies since the early 2000s, with Rogen making some of them. But what he found really intriguing was that many teenage stars he had spoken to liked Superbad the most.

That’s precisely what prompted his making such a statement. And now, let’s pay attention to what response his statement had online.

Not Everyone Agrees With Seth Rogen

Many people took over the Internet, slamming down Rogen for his statement. Some wrote that Project X was a much better movie than Superbad, and it wasn’t the only better comedy, too. Some online users cited the titles of several severely underrated movies to have more compelling storylines than Seth Rogen’s “high school favorite.”

Of course, not everyone was on the disagreeing side, and a lot of people defended Rogen for his statement. Some wrote that even though there might be better comedies, high school movies with intriguing stories haven’t been made since Superbad.

In addition, some online users took the chance to notice that all movie genres are getting worse. One can only hope that the tendency of making remakes of everything will stop sometime soon so we can watch quality movies again, commented some.
