Everyone cites black panther but that's the exception not the rule. They are right about the rest of these marvel movies. They recycled and repackaged mass consumer shyt. I see this as someone who has seen every single one
Martin Scorsese - Marvel movies are 'not cinema'
- Thread starter Jacaveli The Don
- Start date
Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Netflix epic The Irishman has been getting rave reviews, but throughout its many promotions over the past month, the film’s press has been dogged by the director’s comments about the movies produced by Disney conglomerate Marvel Studios. In an interview, Scorsese declared Marvel movies were “not cinema” and compared them to theme parks. He later doubled-down on these comments despite various responses from Marvel actors Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., fanboy auteur Kevin Smith, and superhero genre enthusiast Damon Lindelof.
The Marvel fans were also quite vocal about the matter, which exploded in social media circles almost immediately. Even so, the (faux) outcry has not disquieted Scorsese and his supporters — including fellow iconic director Francis Ford Coppola. When Agence France-Presse caught up with him recently, they asked him about the “controversy” surrounding Scorsese’s comments. Not only did he agree with his fellow director, but Coppola also took it a step further by calling Marvel movies “despicable.”
Per Yahoo! News:
“When Martin Scorsese says that the Marvel pictures are not cinema, he’s right because we expect to learn something from cinema, we expect to gain something, some enlightenment, some knowledge, some inspiration.
“I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again,” the 80-year-old filmmaker said.
“Martin was kind when he said it’s not cinema. He didn’t say it’s despicable, which I just say it is.“
With HBO’s Watchmen series — which was created by Lindelof — premiering this weekend, Coppola’s involvement in the ongoing Marvel movies debate is sure to keep these irritating fires lit for a few more days.

Perhaps he didn't outright say it aloud, but judging by his track record, he's at least thought it a few times

Superhero movies can be cinema, the issue I have always had with Marvel, is th all of their films are formulaic.
Everyone is a comedian, almost like the films are adapted from a Brian Michael Bendis comic.
There aren't consequences, nor growth in the films.
Now take a look at Spiderman 2 (Tobey), the peak of superhero films and you'll see the difference between a film and a movie like Iron Man or any other Marvel movie.

To each his own I'm just sick of Marvel films though. A lot of the MCU films feel the same.

The Part he said about marvel movies being the same shyt over and over again is kinda accurate 
Like bill Maher said its usually about a shiny thing being taken by the villain and the heroes have to get it back...
In every last one of em
I finally got around to seeing both the new spider mans.. Watched them back to back. And they both were about a shiny thing that Spidey had to get back to save the day

Coppola saying movies need a message, but admitting he only did Godfather 3 to get a quick check because he was broke.
Scorcese complaining about marvel movies but doing a shytty remake of a pulp movie with Cape Fear.
The hypocrisy of people who need attention but can't get it anymore is funny as hell to me.

I really have a love hate relationship with Spider-man 2(OG) it legit might very well be the best superhero movie ever and simultaneously the most boring too. But it is everything an actual comic book arc should/would be if you were comparing cinema to a comic book. It gets everything right.

Like I said in the film room. Oh well. I’m still watching all of them on Day 1. And more importantly I along with the rest of the world are not willing to drop $13 to watch a movie in a there’s that’s not materially different than watching it on my flat screen. Marvel or no Marvel, no studio is gonna give a director $150 million to make a movie that in a best case scenario makes $400 million.
