“I reject the concept that comic books in movies are a genre. I have been fighting that for many years, with the powers-that-be in Hollywood”
— Michael Uslan
Simplified Meaning:
The speaker believes that comic book movies are not a specific type of movie like action or romance. They think that comic books can tell different kinds of stories, just like books or regular movies do. For instance, a comic book story can be about superheroes, but it can also be a love story or a mystery. This idea is like saying music isn’t just one thing; it can be rock, jazz, or classical. The speaker has been trying to convince important people in Hollywood to see comic book movies in this way. If Hollywood sees comic book movies as diverse, they might make more interesting and varied films, not just superhero action movies. This way, audiences could enjoy a wider range of stories from comic books on screen.
