Samuel L. Jackson defends what Marvel Studio and Disney are offering
Strong opinions that have already reacted several actors of the MCUand it was recently Samuel L. Jackson’s turn (Nick Fury) to react to these recurring criticisms. In an interview with The Times, the actor said that all films had the right of citizenshipand that it is not because the preferences of the spectators go towards this or that genre that a feature film is less legitimate than another :
All films are valid (in the legitimate sense, editor’s note). Some go to the movies to get emotional dearly. Some like superheroes. If someone has more viewers, it just means your audience isn’t as large (as you thought). There are people who have had successful careers but no one can recite a single line from their roles. (…)

Sometimes the public is very widely affected and moves massively to the cinema, sometimes less.
