Such an obtuse comparison
Dune director Denis villenueve says marvel movies are cut and paste of others
- Thread starter Max.

C'mon fam, you know Feige ain't giving any director the keys. Maybe the keys to the basement apartment...maybe. Regardless of the talent of the director, the overarching storyline and plan for the Marvel films takes precedent. I've evolved to not only accept but also appreciate that from them. It's how you avoid Star Wars sequel issues. If your aim isn't to necessarily make defining singular movies, but instead make a very connected universe, one figurehead at the helm who reigns in his directors makes sense. Is it my cup of tea, he'll nah, but I get it. I'm all about directors having full creative control. We don't get a Logan otherwise. We don't get the most recent Suicide Squad, otherwise. But Feige being so pervasive in every aspect of the MCU is how we got what I consider the biggest and most successful undertaking in movie history with everything up to Endgame.

Odd take but ok
This about to be the Scorsese thread all over again, huh?
It shouldn't be a surprise that directors who mostly make movies for adults wouldn't be into some shyt that mostly caters to kids and teens. Don't be surprised or offended if some kiddie shyt is not everyone's cup of tea.

That’s the draw: characters, visuals, and action
Maybe.. but he took the Blade Runner franchise and brought in adult themes with it... which rarely happens in franchise movies and it still sold very well..
The people in this thread are morons because Denis is not saying he hates franchises and films that generate a lot of revenue. He can do that. He could go work for Marvel right now. They'd give him the keys.
These threads are dumb because the posters in them are dumb
no it didnt, they lost money on it
Sooner or later we all see who the prophet is

He's pulling a Kanye or Trump. Clown the winners for being illegitimate before they actually win.
I was excited for Dune but I'm thinking its going to hot trash now. He's coppin pleas and throwing rocks at the throne before his movie even comes out. Insecurity.

Hes not wrong
I don't like this dudes movies though

You're comparing a time when 1 superhero movie was in the top 10 grossing films to an era where 50%+ are
That was my point though.
I literally said they're only complaining because the genre is the most popular right now.
So i find it odd that your counter point was to be like yeah but it wasn't as popular back then.
ok and?

I mean that's true but most action movies are and always have been pretty derivative. I don't think comic book movies should be singled out for this particular point.
You know how many John Wick type movies I've seen (and enjoyed) since that shyt came out?

Superman with Reeves is a classic. Batman and Batman Returns are great in their own right as well and we're stylistically different than anything we had saw up until then. Marvel has a very basic formula that's assembly line like. They don't allow directors to take risks which is why so many have walked away. The films make money and are etched in pop culture, but they aren't good movies outside of a handful. Most are very forgettable because they play it too safe.
