The Mexican director has been critical of superhero films in the past, even telling Deadline last October he considers them “cultural genocide.”
“The way they apply violence to it, it’s absolutely right-wing,” he told the entertainment industry news outlet. “If you observe the mentality of most of those films, it’s really about people who are rich, who have power, who will do the good, who will kill the bad. Philosophically, I just don’t like them.”
In an interview with The Guardian, Downey was asked what he thought of Iñárritu’s comments, to which he answered: “Look, I respect the heck out of him, and I think for a man whose native tongue is Spanish to be able to put together a phrase like ‘cultural genocide’ just speaks to how bright he is.”
He is such a moron The fact that he thought he was being ~witty~
But that's what happens when you give a mentally-damaged alcoholic $50 million per film
