The
renowned
English
film
director
and
producer
Ridley
Scott,
popularly
known
for
his
sci-fi
movies
like
The
Martian,
Blade
Runner
and
Alien,
says
he
is
not
an
admirer
of
Superhero
movies.
The
legendary
director
says
he
hardly
finds
any
proper
story
in
superhero
movies
nowadays.
Ridley
Scott
also
states
that
he
has
turned
down
numerous
offers
to
direct
comic
book
superhero
based
movies
as
he
doesn't
quite
relate
himself
to
that
genre.
"Superhero
movies
are
not
my
kind
of
thing
-
that's
why
I've
never
really
done
one.
I've
been
asked
several
times,
but
I
can't
believe
in
the
thin,
gossamer
tight-rope
of
the
non-reality
of
the
situation
of
the
superhero." Said
Ridley
Scott
in
an
interview.
He
continued,
"I've
done
that
kind
of
movie
-
'Blade
Runner'
really
is
a
comic
strip
when
you
think
about
it,
it's
a
dark
story
told
in
an
unreal
world.
You
could
almost
put
Batman
or
Superman
in
that
world,
that
atmosphere,
except
I'd
have
a
f***ing
good
story,
as
opposed
to
no
story!"
Ridley
Scott
is
not
only
hostile
with
superhero
movies,
he
also
feels
that
a
shift
of
paradigm
into
the
lucrative
superhero
genre
nowadays
is
also
causing
harm
to
the
movie
industry
as
a
whole.
"I
want
to
keep
doing
cinema
and
I
hope
it
doesn't
affect
those
of
us
who
still
keep
making
smart
films.
I'm
hoping
it
doesn't
affect
me," added
Ridley
Scott.
