Jodie Foster Hates Superhero Movies
by EG
Contact star Jodie Foster has no love for superhero movies. In fact, she thinks the genre is on the same level as the worst industrial practices, given that it's on a path to "wreck the earth" by getting people used to loving bad movies.

If you’re waiting for Jodie Foster to direct or appear in a superhero movie, don’t hold your breath.
The Academy Award-winning actress did not mince words when she expressed her thoughts on superhero pics and similar blockbusters.
Foster, who recently directed the “Arkangel” episode in the fourth season of Black Mirror, told the Radio Times (via DailyMail) and did not hold back when talking about movies of the Marvel and DC variety saying, “Going to the movies has become like a theme park.”
She added, “Studios making bad content in order to appeal to the masses and shareholders is like fracking — you get the best return right now but you wreck the earth.” Then in a final jab she said, “It’s ruining the viewing habits of the American population and then ultimately the rest of the world.”
