He definitely went through a bit of a weird phase with the massive rise of Marvel and DC. He's definitely just a huge nerd at heart but I think it sort of swayed him a bit too much. He's a very solid filmmaker and I think he's capable of doing much more, I just sort of which he'd stop pushing his daughter so much. A lot of his recent stuff feels like they only exist to give her a career. That recent pattern definitely had me expecting the worst of Clerks 3.

That heart attack he suffered clearly has influenced him to do more though, so I can't fault him there. Making things with friends, looking back at the old times, and pushing forward with new ideas. Even if some of the films are weak, there's something very human behind why they exist. :)
