What happened to Marlon Wayans brehs?

Watched sextuplets not too long ago

First of all, for some reason I root for Marlon..maybe it's because Scary Movie 1 & 2 are two of my favorite movies ever..and he seems like a genuinely funny dude in person

But something is not translating to on-screen..his Netflix movies Haunted House 1 & 2, Naked and now Sextuplets (I never even saw 50 shades of black) are just not that funny...sextuplets actually wasnt funny at all..couple chuckles here and there. Also his netflix stand up was mediocre at best

He can actually act which is the crazy part..it's not like he's not talented. I remember he was in that GI Joe movie and he did really good for his role

Where is he going wrong? Surrounded by too many "yes" men? Only good in movies directed by Keenan?

He's not funny without his brothers. Never has been.

Marlon is my dude but I refuse to take the time out of my day to watch those recent parody movies.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I thought Sextuplets was funny.

The rest of his shyts haven't been tho.

 

[Doobie Doo]

He's the black Adam Sandler.

Them nikkax haven’t been the same since they bombed at the MTV Awards in 2000

Netflix better stop playing and cut a check for some of these cats on youtube/social media

The trailer looks dumb as hell. I can't watch his movies tbh. Scary movie 1 and 2 was it and the supporting cast was actually funnier than he was.

Haven’t seen that new Netflix movie but will give it a look see tonight or tomorrow

Marlon my guy but he's horrible on his own merits...imagine watching the Wayans Bros with no Shawn.....

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Nothing much to elaborate on

They were hot at the time
MTV reached out
They hosted
Their jokes were spectacularly bad
One of the worst hosting jobs I can recall during my time watching

He needs to play the secondary or a supporting character. His over the top gimmick does work but he needs a straight-man to play off of as he did before with Shawn.

the bolded i thought were hilarious...but theres something about sextuplets from the trailer im just not interesting in seeing..i mean it might be a movie i put on if its late night and i cant sleep or some shyt

my thing is i wish he diversified his roles a little...marlon can act his ass off and i think has barely tapped into his potential..but wayans fam is all about comedy

 

[luckyse7enz]

I wonder why he hasn't done more dramatic roles. He was solid in "Requiem For A Dream" but that was forever ago.
