Opinion | Martin Scorsese: I Said Marvel Movies Aren’t Cinema. Let Me Explain. (Published 2019)
Cinema is an art form that brings you the unexpected. In superhero movies, nothing is at risk, a director says.
You say that like Cameron’s benign opinion on Avengers films didn’t see him roasted non-stop by Marvel fans - even at a time when he was trying to congratulate Marvel.I'm just waiting for James Cameron to weigh in to really start cooking with gas

Why is it tempting to respond to a well written and cogent argument with an ageist retort?it is so tempting to just post ‘ok boomer’. Like, we get it man, you don’t like Marvel movies, thats fine.
For you are anyone else who does not have a subscription, if you are on a laptop (i have to imagine this also works on a smartphone although I have never tried it), manually select a few words with your cursor, then do a Select All, Copy, open up your favorite text editor, and Paste.I don't have a subscription :(
Maybe post a few choice quotes?
In closing, the art of cinema is a shared experience. When the lights dim, we are transported to a world where anything is possible, no dream is ever out of reach, and our collective unconscious is governed by four simple words that are destined to shape the silver screen for decades to come:
CAPCOM PRESENTS....MARVEL COMICS.
Marvel Worldwide Audiovisual Entertainment-verse does have a nice ring to itThere’s worldwide audiovisual entertainment, and there’s cinema.
What does he think about the Last Jedi
He should have just laughed at all the pitchforks, he wasn’t wrong with that he said the first time.
Right? I mean, goddamn, what a fucking fragile ego he must have if he is THIS butthurt that a bunch of dweebs on the internet disagreed with him over comic films...Well said, Marty.
Although I am confused as to why he is so focused on this.
While this could be said for much of the Marvel formula, I don't think this is true for the entire franchise.What’s not there is revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger. Nothing is at risk. The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes.
They are sequels in name but they are remakes in spirit, and everything in them is officially sanctioned because it can’t really be any other way. That’s the nature of modern film franchises: market-researched, audience-tested, vetted, modified, revetted and remodified until they’re ready for consumption.
I think this does a disservice to Feige and some of the stand out individual Marvel movies.Many of them are well made by teams of talented individuals. All the same, they lack something essential to cinema: the unifying vision of an individual artist. Because, of course, the individual artist is the riskiest factor of all.
Sounds like something that can include the Disney+ showsMarvel Worldwide Audiovisual Entertainment-verse does have a nice ring to it
Like, how can you even argue against anything he wrote?
Because they haven't read it lol.Why is it tempting to respond to a well written and cogent argument with an ageist retort?
