Turns out Sunil T. Fernando actually DOESN’T think Marvel is terrible!

  • Maybe you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet? 
Social media has made it so that misinformation is commonplace in our day-to-day lives, and it has become even more imperative that we check our sources and our so-called facts. While many of us may realise that you cannot believe everything you hear online, there are those who take it as the gospel truth, and this could quite potentially result in some irreversible damage.  [caption id="attachment_175469" align="alignleft" width="300"] MPI Film Circuit MD Sunil T. Fernando[/caption] MPI Film Circuit Managing Director (MD) Sunil T. Fernando was victim to such an unfortunate instance recently where he was misquoted and was attributed a statement which he swears he never made.  You may have come across the said statement, quoting Fernando as having said that “Marvel films destroy the art of cinema”. However, when Brunch reached out for further comment, Fernando shared that he never made such a statement.  Fernando expressed his confusion on the matter, stating that there is no voice cut or interview he has been quoted from. “I never gave an interview and there is no voice cut or recording or any other supporting evidence to show that they spoke to me and that I said these things,” he said, adding: “I don’t quite understand why they attribute this quote to me; I have never actually expressed my thoughts in this way.”  He shared that even his daughter who lives in England had come across this post and shared it with him. He did share, however, that it is quite irresponsible of outlets to go ahead with unconfirmed content, but he also added that he harbours no ill will and does not wish to take any kind of serious action. “I don’t want to start an argument; it could possibly be what is expected even. I fire back and then they deny, or accept their fault; either way it’ll just be a spectacle for an audience and I don’t have a desire to be in the public eye in this way,” he said.  It would appear that Fernando simply wishes to move on from the ordeal and doesn’t really seem all that interested in dwelling on it any longer.  Just so we could put all this to rest, we asked Fernando about his actual views on Marvel films, just to appease the fans, to which he said that he really enjoys Marvel films and is so glad that such a genre of films exist. “The youth are very entranced by them, which clearly means that they are doing something right and I also enjoy them greatly,” he said.  He also shared that he, as someone in the film industry, has no right to critique creations in that way, as he understands the work that goes into sharing one’s creation with the world. “Marvel, which I believe is now with Disney, is an incredibly successful corporation, and you might even say they’ve cracked the code on this whole film thing and I have nothing but appreciation and respect for that body of work,” he said. Simply put, he said they are good films, as is very much evident from the droves of movie-going audiences returning again and again to watch these movies.  It would seem that Fernando has nothing but good things to say about Marvel films, which does beg the question – how did he end up being the poster child for hating Marvel films in Sri Lanka? Food for thought: Next time maybe keep in mind that not everything you read on the internet is the gospel truth.
