Quentin Tarantino doesn’t like Marvel movies. The director of pulp Fiction has criticized the MCU on several occasions, each time reiterating his strong opinion of this universe of superheroes so popular among the general public. Recently, she also sent out quite a tackle to the actors playing the Avengers. Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans or even Scarlett Johansson can be recognized talents in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino doesn’t consider them movie stars… Which made Samuel L. Jackson react, who didn’t hesitate to respond to these comments!
Samuel L. Jackson VS. Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino believes the stars of the MCU are the characters, not the actors who embody them! An opinion that neither superhero fans nor the actors concerned share, Samuel L. Jackson leads. The latter, who plays Nick Fury, the famous SHIELD boss (without whom, let’s remember, there would be no Avengers) for a good ten years, did not appreciate the director’s comments. During an interview with our colleagues from The sightthe actor explained how disagrees with the director, while paying tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther).
It takes an actor to play these particular characters, and the hallmark of movie stardom has always been, what, asses in seats? What are we talking about? It’s no big deal to me knowing that apparently these actors are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is the Black Panther. You can’t disprove it, and it’s a movie star.
What Samuel L. Jackson means is that whatever the role, when a character is emblematic, his interpreter is often associated with him. We can mention Wolverine and Hugh Jackman, Carrie Fisher and Leia Organa, Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter, Johnny Depp and Jack Sparrow, Linda Hamilton and Sarah Connor… So this is not an “issue” reserved for the MCU! And you, what do you think of this debate?
