Theres worldwide audiovisual entertainment, and theres cinema.
They still overlap from time to time, but thats becoming increasingly rare.
And the act of simply writing those words fills me with terrible sadness.
I dont know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again.
Martin was kind when he said its not cinema.
He didnt say its despicable, which I just say it is.
Superhero films actually kept people in the cinemas during that transition, and now people are coming back.
So they deserve a little more appreciation.
The Australian actor also pushed back on actors who have talked negatively about their experience shooting superhero films.
Its, like, Theyre films that are successful put me in one.
Oh, mine didnt work?
Ill bash them, Hemsworth said.
Look, I grew up on a soap opera.
And it used to bother me when actors would later talk about the show with guilt or shame.
Humility goes a long way.
That stuck with me.
He continued, But hey, its all a lesson.
And if I ever went back to [Thor] Id wonder how we could change it again.
