‘Guardians’ Director James Gunn Defends Superhero Movies After Oscars Diss

“Guardians of the Galaxy,” last year’s highest-grossing comic book movie, was nominated for two Oscars during Sunday’s ceremony. But despite the inclusion, “Guardians” and its brethren were on the receiving end of a diss from Jack Black during the Oscars’ opening musical number.

“Opening with lots of zeroes, all we get are superheroes: Superman, Spider-man, Batman, Jediman, Sequelman, Prequelman — formulaic scripts!” Black sang in “Moving Pictures,” a tribute to the power of movies performed by Neil Patrick Harris.
