Independence Day director, Roland Emmerich, says he watches Marvel movies to fall asleep on planes

[Take It In Blood]

U know ur winning when everyone is taking shots at u

 

[Knights89]

Scorsese and Coppola are like

to Emmerich

 

[CookisaCac]

...I know he's not taking shots when his movies birthed the special effect driven, large scale destruction of cities/monuments "blockbusters" that get pumped out every other summer.

Everyone throwing shots at the marvel legacy but don't have any of their own to rival that of the MCU...

Ain't none of us checking for Roland emmerich when most of his new movies IN WHICH HE HAS COMPLETE CONTROL FLOPPED!!!

Marvel's record speak for itself... they set out to make a whole bunch of movies designed like a comic book arc storyline and it was mostly a success...so hate all you want... These movies aint for you...

nikkas keep lying to themselves but movies in general have been wild stale/uncreative for damn near a decade now and Marvel and it’s success plays a big ass part in it.


Which is why TV series have boomed in the same time span people are going there if they want to see a great story unfold.

I’ve stopped watching movies all together . It’s literally 90-120 minutes of trash at this point

you can’t go from watching masterpieces like The Wire,Breaking Bad,,The Americans and the Sopranos to watching movies ..It’s a brain drain

Movies have fell in creativity but other than money being used to film marvel movies, I wouldn't blame marvel. The success of television is equal to blame

It’s not box office receipt envy it’s about creating an imagery that will be remembered years to come.

Besides the first Avengers movie, what other Avengers movie have an iconic image that you’re going to remember 50 years from now as you’re sitting in a nursing home?

Basically all of them.
Compare Marvel iconic moments to the ones in Roland Emmerich movies and get back to me.

Do anything for clout

Basically, director's using the name to promote their current movies. They not slick.

No it's disneys fault. I keep saying this but they ruin everything. If I could get rid of one company...it would be Disney.

Not Raytheon, Boeing or Northrop Grumman?

Most great directors probably feel this way
