On the heels of his upcoming DC film The Suicide Squad, James Gunn is sharing how unimpressed he is with the current state of the superhero genre, calling the comic book adaptations “really d…

Gunn explained that he hadn’t always felt this way about these adaptations, which he “loved at the beginning,” before noting that the advancement of visual effects was one of the main reasons he fell in love with the genre.is a film he still loves, and that had him “really excited” about the genre, though the writer-director acknowledged it featured “a guy on wires and bluescreen with this sort of crappy visual effects.” He also pointed to Marvel’s“[W]hen Iron Man came out, I was in.

The director then spoke about two of his personal creative inspirations, elaborating on how they’ve influenced his expectations for the genre. Gunn subtly calls out the role of things like costuming and how physically fit many onscreen heroes are, suggesting that body diversity and a more ragtag or distinctive style are what he enjoys most out of the genre.where the costumes didn’t fit the superheroes perfectly, and they had a little bit of a paunch,” Gunn said.

Despite his somewhat generalized statement about the genre, Gunn did ultimately acknowledge that it isn’t a monolith. “There are people trying to do some different things with superheroes,” he said. “So it’s not 100 percent a rule that everybody isn’t, but a lot of superhero films are boring.

“It just makes it more fun to shoot when I’m actually blowing things up as opposed to having silly-looking CGI explosions.”

HEY! He forgot to mention the best movie that pushed the superhero genre forward: Birds of Prey.... ;)

He forgot the greatest of all which is TDK of Nolan

Zzzzzzzzzz

And The Dark Knight ( 2008 )

lmao Snyder’s talent haunts this dude RestoreTheSnyderVerse

Once almost every cbm is comedy, it’ll get boring

we should all thank marvel for making the suicide squad possible

It’s been boring for over a decade!

Too late - already boring

I mean that was the plan and what many directors were doing until WB kept screwing it up

Watchmen ZackSnydersJusticeLeague 🙄

This would’ve mattered back in like 2013 or 2014 but a little late to discussion there, James….

Too late by 15 years.

Reason I really love the TV Show TheBoysTV It’s just so refreshing 💯

Now he got it, he lost it

It’s too late. The genre has over saturated the market. Comic book films are tired

Well, let's get real. Marvel as the lead in superhero business is the one to blame.The 'mcu formula' isn't a term coined just because.They even have a template for the posters and they just switch the characters DC tried to do something different and it's now becoming the 2nd mcu

This thought comes from the director who believes was a good idea making Star Lord using his powers transforming into Pac-Man in the middle of a battle.

Wake up dude, it’s already boring

Sure, how about cooking, needlepoint, and basketball.

Like maybe we don’t know 10 million superhero movies.

Hence R rated films, and the upcoming horror test that will be Doctor Strange 2.

A plot?

Super hero horror dance musical?

Early DC tried that and then the execs plugged the plug. With the SnyderCut we had, again, something different and still the studio doesn't care.

Remember when he joked about sleeping with minor children? I do

Too late

Like horror.

Yes so the MCU
