James Gunn rebate críticas de Francis Ford Coppola à Marvel

Many of our grandfathers thought all gangster movies were the same, often calling them “despicable”. Some of our great grandfathers thought the same of westerns, and believed the films of John Ford, Sam Peckinpah, and Sergio Leone were all exactly the same. I remember a great uncle to whom I was raving about Star Wars. He responded by saying, “I saw that when it was called 2001, and, boy, was it boring!” Superheroes are simply today’s gangsters/cowboys/outer space adventurers. Some superhero films are awful, some are beautiful. Like westerns and gangster movies (and before that, just MOVIES), not everyone will be able to appreciate them, even some geniuses. And that’s okay. ❤️

“Muitos dos nossos avós achavam que filmes de gangster eram todos iguais, frequentemente os chamando de ‘desprezíveis’. Nossos avós pensavam o mesmo de faroestes, e acreditavam que as obras de John Ford, Sam Peckinpah e Sergio Leone eram todas iguais. Eu lembro de ter um tio avô para quem eu estava surtando com Star Wars. Ele me respondeu dizendo ‘Eu vi esse filme quando se chamava 2001 - Uma Odisseia no Espaço e, rapaz, era um tédio!’ Filmes de herói simplesmente são os equivalentes modernos aos faroeste, gangsters e aventuras no espaço. Alguns filmes de herói são terríveis, outros são lindos. Assim como faroestes e gangsters (e, antes disso, apenas FILMES), nem todo mundo irá gostar deles, mesmo alguns gênios. E está tudo bem.”
