I agree with him about the cgi. I do think cgi is important , but it really shouldn’t be used for every single aspect. practical effects are absolutely amazing and feels way more immersive but cgi can add more detail to it too. I think in the right hands and the right mind they 100% should go hand in hand.

Bruce Campbell’s actually met Superman in “Lois & Clark”.

I cannot agree more with everything this man just said. Thank you for this video - it makes me like Bruce even more.

"The character Ash from Evil Dead, he can be killed at any time... Car crash, he's dead." I get the point he's making... but Ash crashed his car into a tree stump [in Evil Dead 2], flew face first through the windshield, got up and started running (that's how he got his facial scars).

That was a huge gripe I had with the MCU after Ironman. Where as that movies used a good amount of practical effects with CGI, ALL marvel as well as DC movies post that are 100% CGI and I can’t stand how fake it looks

The ironic part of this story is... if Bruce was a major character in one of marvel's films (yeah we know his cameos) ... everyone would freak out. Because he kills it. Every time. I'd like to see it. Even if it's for the paycheck.

Bruce is not only a supremely cool dude but absolutely right about today's green screen movies. I just watched the latest Tarzan film, primarily to ogle at Margot Robbie but I've always liked a good Tarzan show. It was a totally uninvolving & boring CGI bowel movement. Mike Henry could have chewed up Skarsgård like a pickled herring.

1:10 Its kinda funny he said that because at one point he was gonna be Mysterio. Makes me wonder how he feels being in Multiverse of Maddness and even before that being in the 00's Spider-Man movies.

Agreed. Old days action or stunts is much better.

Where can I find the full interview?

Greatest superhero of all time Ashley Williams.

After seeing such box office results for Antman 3, Blue Beetle, The Flash, Black Adam, and The Marvels, I absolutely agree with him. And shows that nobody cares about comic book movies. There's even non-comic book fans on social media saying "they should stop making Marvel movie for 2 years." and they're right. Too many in a year, and too much VFX that's rushed and lifeless.

A week ago I watched beetle, the 90's one with Bruce in it. And everyday since watching it I've seen Bruce in a movie on normal tv. What a weird series of synchronicities. Maybe some new Bruce stuff coming soon. Wait and see eh.

This is what Mandalorian fixed. So glad Lucafilm is doing tech stuff.

Even as a kid I thought superheroes both looked dumb and had the most corny, convoluted mess of a storyline, and I stand by it to this day. Was born in the 90's, most of my friends felt the same way. I think most marvel goons are the people a few years older than me, or the kids raised with nothing better movie wise.

Amen, Bruce. I find superhero films excruciatingly boring for all the reasons he mentioned. Movies like Evil Dead and Ghostbusters (1984) hold up because they feature real people with no super powers and they are forced to survive. They could be killed at any time. That's what makes it tense and interesting. Plus, Bruce's groovy lines...that helps too.

@@henryjones2766 Among my favorite superhero movies is Avengers: Infinity War, and that movie doesn't have the problem you brought up. If anything, it really carefully considers everyone's powers. People CLAIM that Vision's powers got nerfed for getting stabbed, but he wasnt. When Corvus Glaive uses his staff to stab Vision, it disrupts his ability to function fully. The tool he uses is called “the Glaive” and it uses a combination of magic and technology. Vibranium may be powerfully strong, but there are still forces in the cosmos that can penetrate it. Glaive’s staff possesses such power. It is designed to cut through literally anything. Sure, Vibranium is the strongest metal on earth, but not in the galaxy of the MCU. More than likely, Uru metal surpasses it. So, again... you're cherry-picking. And of all things, you pick a shitty CW show, INFAMOUS for their bad soap opera-like writing.

As a comic fan, I've always enjoyed seeing my favorite characters being on the big screen but lately, it has become exhausting. And honestly, if we keep making movies on every single superhero, we'd be at this for the next 50 years. But I slightly disagree on superheros being boring. Yes, there are ones like Superman but just because a character has powers, it doesn't mean they can't have struggles. Spiderman is a prime example because he wasn't just a guy with powers, he was a kid with powers. Imagine living your teens years but you also have to be the hero 24/7. Yikes.

Most super heroes are boring. The reason being that they're super strong with their super power and they have boring personalities. Good heroes in my opinion don't need super powers and if they do then they should at least be interesting. Some good examples of these heroes are Chuck Bartowski (Chuck), Doom guy, The 6 million dollar man, Brian Finch (limitless), Sam Oliver (Reaper), the reason being that they have physical limitations. You can give a super hero all the psychological limitations, but without any physical limits it causes the super hero to be boring because he's still all powerful.
