Theme park are able to trigger every emotion on the spectrum. From scared to happy and so much more. They also take a very long time to craft and perfect - very similar to the MCU.

This is already a sociological phenomenon bigger than any film debate or prestigious award. Millions of cops and undercover Navy Seals are about to patrol the streets, with most American cities in lockdown. Some people say it could be the most successful attack against the US since the Russians stole the election. What about Ukraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShot Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The only reason he's angry is because they are hugely successful. Using his logic Star Wars is a "theme park" as well. MCU will be forever engraved in cinematic history as one of the greatest franchises in the world. There is nothing these cinephiles can do about it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the worst take I've read here in a long time. And although I don't disagree with what you said about Joker, I feel like you just read the RT summary of a few reviews and wrote something around that.

Jealous people tend to lash out and undermine things that are more successful - its basic human psychology. As a film maker he should know that Art is subjective. The MCU means a lot to many people and it makes them feel tons of "deep emotions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You know fandom has broken your brain when you think Martin Scorsese is jealous of marvel movies. I know it’s literally the only card you guys know how to play when a filmmaker criticises a successful franchise but c’mon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's simply not true his movies aren't massive at the box office anymore. There is no room for him - hence why he's being shipped off to Netflix. Again the old man is jealous hence why he's been lashing out since 2017: https://qz.com/878002/the-movies-are-dead-according-to-martin-scorsese-and-ridley-scott/ 1 hour ago, harlequinade said: LOL what Stone's Ginger and Bracco's Karen are iconic, not every role a woman has has to be 'empowering' these are fantastic performances of complex women He's a talentless misogynist that's incapable of writing empowering female roles.

He's not upset because of the money marvel movies make but because Marvel movies make the kind of movies that Scorcese hates the most. Homogenised commercial products that's pretty much made on an assembly line. I don't really mind that but that wasn't the kind of filmmaking Scorcese was brought up with. And I would believe that was your Joker review if you weren't speaking in such hyperbole. It feels like a parody of a critic's review.
