Quentin Tarantino Is Not A Fan Of The Superhero Genre

Quentin Tarantino had stated quite a while back about how he wasn’t very fond of the way the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe were growing. He did not see superhero movies as worthy of being part of cinema. Tarantino believes that the current generation has disvalued the meaning of what a movie is and completely wasted the potential of what cinema can really be.

“I’m hopeful that we’re going through a woozy romantic period with the ease of digital,” he added. “I’m very hopeful that future generations will be much smarter than this generation and realise what they lost.”

According to him, cinema died the day movies weren’t being viewed on 35mm. He saw this as a more public display of movies and was not okay with it. He even added as to how because of this, the meaning and value of cinema seem to be lost in the end. Tarantino thinks that all these movies are not qualified enough to be worthy of cinema. He sees digital projections to be a threat to cinema and could ultimately undermine its value completely.

His comments on the death of cinema and how different things have gotten because of superhero movies have also led many stars to believe that they would not get an opportunity to work with him or would choose not to do so either. Even with his opinions, however, watching both Barbie and Oppenheimer would indicate that he was probably not all right.
