Please. His comments make him look small minded and out of touch in any case and deserved pushback. You’re entitled to your opinion but lots of people agree with him as well, I don’t personally but I also don’t care what he thinks about things that I like/enjoy.

lorddemaxus Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Seriously, did people forget when Inarittu called superhero movies cultural genocide? Like no clue why Scorcese is getting criticised for saying something that isn't even negative. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Marty's comments about the MCU are dumb but no more dumb than Spielberg's comments about how Netflix movies shouldn't be allowed to compete for Oscars even though more and more big name talent is doing streaming these days. The reality is dawning on these old guys who helped shaped cinema as we know it today that cinema as they knew it is now a thing of the past, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Scorsese said is no less ignorant. Edited October 9, 2019 by Ororo Munroe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's a giant corporation giving themselves free publicity, but... I'm not saying it's not. I think if it was any other news company it wouldn't strike me as odd. I don’t think random CNN contributors are in anyway benefitting from the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral of the story - Dude try to be nice. There are lot of things in life that you might enjoy if you just ignore Disney and MCU. Look at the bright side you won't have to come here just to shit post , you can do something productive. Have you ever given it a thought? You should consider it.

Menor the Destroyer Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I did find it funny that a lot of people who said Scorsese shouldn't be criticized for his comments bc "free speech" immediately pivoted to "everyone who criticizes Scorsese's films is a dumb hick". Personally I think every opinion is up for criticism once offered, that's how free speech is supposed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they looked at the success of Black Panther and finally decided to give Cyborg (or any black superhero) a solo movie....

My point is that Cyborg was supposed to get a solo movie yet we haven't heard a thing about it. I'd be surprised if it was even still on WB's radar.

And let's not forget "Age Of Innocence" which could not be further from a "typical" Scorsese film. But I am getting the sick feeling a lot of people here have never seen a Scorsese film, except for maybe "Wolf Of Wall Street" since they have no interest in seeing any film that is not a recent release.

The point is that superhero movies didn't start 10 years ago, even if youngsters have forgotten that Catwoman or Blade exist - and think that Black Panther or Wonder Woman are "firsts". In terms of diversity, the genre (and therefore blockbusters in general) just took a huge step backwards when Disney decided to produce 20+ movies with white male leads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
