Robert Downey Jr. Takes Offense to Quentin Tarantino’s Insults to Superhero Movie Stars
Even though Iron Man’s tenure as part of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes might be over, that doesn’t mean Robert Downey Jr. has stopped defending the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In a recent Deadline interview, Robert Downey Jr. offered a response to Tarantino’s criticism of the superhero movie genre:
“I think our opinions on these matters say a lot about us. I think that we are in a time and place that I unwittingly contributed to, where IP has taken precedence over principle and personality. But it’s a double-edged sword. A piece of IP is only as good as the human talent you get to represent it, and you can have some great IP even if it’s coming from an auteur or a national treasure of a writer-director, and if you don’t have the right kind of artist playing that role, you’ll never know how good it could have been.”

Robert Downey Jr. continues by saying:
“I think that creatively it is a waste of time to be at war with ourselves. I think this is a time when everything is so much more fragmented now that I think you have this kind of bifurcation,” he adds. “I go, ‘You know what? Let’s just get over it. We’re all a community. There’s enough room for everything,’ and thank God for Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water. That’s all I have to say. We need the big stuff to make room for films like Armageddon Time.”
