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. |
My guess is he doesn't see the superhuman characters as being the focus of his movies, but rather (where they exist) as sideshows or antagonists. But yeah, "lacking self awareness" when he said that is probably being kind.
Anyway, he seems like a director who could really benefit from reading some good comics.
