In a conversation with New York Times, James Cameron took his upcoming Avatar 2 in reference and criticized both franchises.
He said, “I also want to do the thing that other people aren’t doing. When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college.” In earlier social media callouts, some critics had already criticized both franchises for being too shallow, all styles and no substance.

The filmmaker had also confessed his disagreement with how Marvel and DC makers approached cinema. Talking about their films’ characters, James said, “They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”
