Why Valerian Director Luc Besson Doesn't Really Love Superheroes

sounds like some beta orbiter whiteknight shit, no wonder the movie flopped.

But he's right.

>implying superman has it hard when saving people is as easy as lifting a pencil for him

Was Luc Besson saying he can take two swords and fight three hundred coulkan Batoire?

>>85767593
>If he wants to save his girl he can take two swords and fight three hundred coulkan Batoire because the plot demands it
>b-but he's not a superhero, guise! It's totally different when I do it!
Besson has no idea what he's babbling about, which probably explains why all his movies in the last 15 years have been pants on head retarded.

>my character can fight hundreds of bad guys no problem but at the end of the day he still has human qualities

literally every capeshit ever, fuck is this guy talking about

>>85767593
>b-but I can't identify, the character is too powerful
Look like someone has never heard of escapist fantasy

>>85767593
These directors always come across as so salty when asked about capeshit whenever their movies flop

>>85767593
What an insipid retard. Relatability is a meme

He literally describes a situation where his favourite protagonist is hilariously overpowered for no reason except pure escapism, but refuses to acknowledge it because it doesn't fit his bizarre hipster narrative. Besson is a hack.

Wasn't she a superhero?

I'm pretty sure she wasn't just lucky or tough or talented, she was explicitly an order of magnitude beyond homo sapiens

>fighting three hundred enemies with two swords
>no superpower

>What I like is Batman is not a superhero at all. He doesn't have superpowers. Sometimes he can be heroic. If he wants to save Martha he can take two gadgets and fight three hundred Luthor's henchmen, but the rest of the time he's a little paranoid, stupid, cracking bad jokes, a little too secure in himself, sure of himself, so he's like us and I can identify with that.

She still got BTFO by Zorg.

Our boy Corben had to save her.
