Efter att Martin Scorsese avslöjade att han betraktade Marvel-filmer mer som nöjesfält än filmer har regissörer som Francis Ford Coppola följt Scorseses exempel genom att kritisera dagens superhjältefilmer för att de inte är "riktiga" filmer. Suicide Squad-stjärnan Viola Davis menar dock att det absolut finns plats för både DC- och Marvel-rullar i filmens värld och att definitionen av konst just ligger i att kreativiteten inte har några gränser:
"I do like a good Marvel movie. I do like a good DC Comics movie. Albert Einstein said that imagination is more valuable than knowledge. If I did not have my imagination, I would still be poor Viola living in Central Falls, Rhode Island, who is not considered attractive or whatever. My imagination defined me. I could escape into a world that's infinite, a world that I could create on my own, a world where I could redefine myself. That's where art lives."
Hon fortsatte:
"Art lives in that world of imagination. It's a playground there. It's God's playground. It's not up to anyone to say what deserves to be there and what doesn't deserve to be there. It's anything that you want to be in that place can live there. And that is why we have some of the greatest painters, some of the greatest actors, some of the greatest writers, and that's why we live. So I do believe that there's a place for all of it."
Slutligen kommenterade hon Scorseses uttalande:
"I think he was voicing his opinion. I think it's valid. Everyone had a place, an opinion. But I like a good Marvel movie."
Svårare än så är det alltså inte. Vad tycker du? Har du fått nog av serietidningsfilmerna eller trivs du med filmlandskapet idag?
Davis kommer att reprisera sin roll i James Gunns Suicide Squad-reboot
