Gonna "circle back" to this one
@Positron posted early, because Robert really gets sandy on his vagina whenever a celebrated director shits on the MCU.
First, I love that he describes the clickbait as getting "empty clicks", as if the counter gives a shit, click is a click. Also, according to Robert himself, the MCU is the most important thing in cinema right now, so how could the journalist not ask if a director wants to get into the capshit gravy train.
But more so, it was just a question, no on is holding a gun to these directors demanding them to shit all over the capshit flicks for the clicks, a simple "I don't think these movies are for me" would suffice.
No, these directors are shitting on the capshit because they want, and Robert can't clap back because he resents being seen as just a mindless consumer, and although he wears the "geek culture" shirt, he is sophisticated and smart to appreciate the "smart movie for smart people" genre.
That is why Robert always try to weasel his way out by saying that the MCU movies are "B+ action movies mostly" and their importance is more being at the center of the zeitgeist, rather than the quality of the flicks.
And yet, whenever someone of relevance just fling some shit at these movies, here comes Robert with the passive agressive bullshit. Like I said, sand on his vagina.
You could try not giving a shit Robert, trust me, it works fine and you can still enjoy what you like.
