This is super weird and insecure of Iger, but imagine for a moment if this led to Martin Scorcese's Daredevil...

i'm perplexed people care this much. why do you need that much validation to enjoy movies based off of comic book movies lol
And there is nothing shameful about entertainment. I really don't see why they took it so bad. Scorsese did not say that Marvel movies should not exist, he just said that they were more about selling a product than about expressing a message. Who can seriously disagree? I mean, this is not like Iger himself was not aware of that.

I'm guessing the thousands of people working on the movie, there are some that would disagree. Iger was basically sticking up for those that work on films. Sure im
Guessing in a private moment some of those working on Disney movies would admit they are only in the business to make money, but I'm going to guess most do it for the love of stories/movies etc.

I feel like people obsessing on the definition of cinema is a waste of time. People should be more focused on Scorsese's overall point he was trying to make.

Yup. It's their defense mechanism. It was playing out on the last page too.

I can take disagreement, but when they purposefully misrepresent what Scorsese is saying, it means they aren't being intellectually honest. And Iger is doing it as well, so they think it's okay.

"Anyone who has seen a Marvel film could not in all truth make that statement."


I think you could though. They're expertly made, by committee.

All of this can only lead to one thing though. A Scorsese directed Marvel film.

Still imagining him being taken into Iger's office with a sack over his head while Iger sits behind his desk like a mob boss.

That's some good daughter trolling.
