Director James Cameron took advantage of the promotion of “Avatar 2: the way of the water” to slip a small tackle to the superheroic productions Marvel and DC.
James Cameron not tender with Marvel and DC! In full promotion of Avatar 2: the way of the water, which will be released in French theaters on December 14, the Canadian filmmaker took the opportunity to criticize the superheroic productions of the two studios quite dryly. According to him, the characters in these films are sorely lacking in maturity.
At the microphone of the New York Times, James Cameron first tells how Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) have matured in Avatar 2, the action of which takes place fifteen years after that of the first film.
“Zoe and Sam, 15 years later, are now playing parents”says James Cameron. “As a father of five, I wonder, ‘What happens when these characters mature and realize they have a responsibility that goes beyond their own survival?’
The filmmaker then makes a comparison with Marvel and DC films. “When I watch these really big, really spectacular movies – I’m aiming at you, Marvel and DC – it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in middle school”balances the filmmaker, particularly cash.
“They have relationships, but not really”he continues. “They never hang up the gloves because of their kids, those things that really ground us and give us power, love, purpose. These characters don’t live that and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”
