Jodie Foster Says Superhero Blockbusters Are 'Ruining' Moviegoing.
I fully disagree with her, maybe she wants a job in one of these movies and she has not been selected..LOL
What do you think about her opinion? pic.twitter.com/l4ogc1PErn

The economy ruined movie audiences. People are not willing to spend their money on a movie they aren’t sure they’ll enjoy. Superhero movies as sure to be fun.

“Studios making bad content in order to appeal to the masses and shareholders is like fracking — you get the best return right now but you wreck the earth.” -- Jodie Foster
She's not wrong. But blaming Superhero movies isn't the way to go. The continued remakes are the problem https://t.co/cHKF75ENFk

A bit of a snobby view from Jodie Foster. Surely the rise of on-demand TV means just means people save their cinema trips (and cash) for things that are visually spectacular (superhero films) and watch Netflix/Amazon for other stories (Black Mirror)?

She's not entirely wrong.. but it's not just superhero movies.. this has always been the case. Popular movies haven't always been the best movies.

I like that last paragraph. She acknowledges both that the superhero genre is currently playing it dangerously stupid and safe AND that it can (and should) tell more complex stories.

Everybody loves to blame superhero films but we get at most 4-5 a year, with 12 months there’s no way that one kind of film is causing the issues.
