In a recent interview with The New York Times, Avatar director James Cameron slammed MCU and DC characters, saying ''they all act like they're in college.'' In comparison with the characters from his upcoming film, Avatar: The Way of Water, he mentioned that there is no maturity in the iconic superhero franchises' portrayals. Cameron said,
''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. 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.''
Fans on Twitter seemed angry over Cameron's comments, and many slammed the director. One user said that it's ''rich, coming from him.''
