NEW YORK: Veteran filmmaker James Cameron has criticised the side of character growth in superhero movies from Marvel and DC Studios, including “that’s not the way to make movies”.
The director mentioned the maturity that’s missing within the characters from these tentpole franchises is depicted in his upcoming sci-fi journey film “Avatar: The Way of Water” by its protagonists Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).
“The Way of Water”, the sequel to the 2009 movie “Avatar”, will see Jake and Neytiri go to nice lengths to maintain their household secure.
“Zoe and Sam now play parents, 15 years later. In the first movie, Sam’s character leaps off his flying creature and essentially changes the course of history as a result of this crazy, almost suicidal leap of faith.”
“And Zoe’s character leaps off a limb and assumes there’s going to be some nice big leaves down there that can cushion her fall. But when you’re a parent, you don’t think that way. So for me, as a parent of five kids, I’m saying, “What occurs when these characters mature and understand that they’ve a accountability exterior their very own survival?’” Cameron instructed The New York Times newspaper.
Citing the instance of Marvel and DC, the celebrated director mentioned the characters within the spectacle movies hailing from these stables “don’t experience” relationships in the true sense.
“When I look at these big, spectacular films, I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC, it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. 0The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies,” he continued.
Interestingly, Saldana can be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, underneath which she performs Gamora in “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise.
The actor will reprise her position within the third a part of “Guardians” slated for a summer time 2023 launch.
In the previous, filmmakers exterior the style like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola have criticised superhero movies terming them “theme parks” and “despicable”, respectively.
