It’s normal for single protagonist films to have other characters – much more unusual for them not to,” he wrote. He then went on to slam meaningless cameos. “I call that ‘Cameo Porn’ and it has been one of the worst elements of recent superhero films. If a character is in film, they have to have a reason to be there story-wise,” the Guardians of the Galaxy director added. “I don’t mind actual cameos – if it’s a glimpse or a moment, an Easter egg. What bothers me is when they mangle an elegant story by shoehorning characters in – they aren’t there because the story calls for it, but for some other reason.”
