Slightly bizarre comment from Peter Jackson in this interview:

I don't really like the Hollywood blockbuster bandwagon that exists right now. The industry and the advent of all the technology, has kind of lost its way. It's become very franchise driven and superhero driven. I've never read a comic book in my life so I'm immediately at a disadvantage and I have no interest in that.

I don't want to accuse him of lacking self awareness but the remarks about technology and franchises seem equally relevant to his own work lately.
Putting any and all irony aside, isn't
Tintin a comic? I figure he means 'superhero comics' but surely he perceives that a lot of the characters in his films (like Legolas) are "superheroic" in a very comparable manner to Hollywood superheroes.
