Scorsese Walks Back Marvel Comments: 'It's A Different Cinema Form'

"The tentpole films, the big comic book films, they're theme park movies — as well done as many of them are, at all levels," Scorsese told Entertainment Weekly. "It's a different cinema form or a new art form entirely. We're hoping there are theaters that show the films that are not that. And that if they're not going to show it that filmmakers still have an opportunity with streaming — it changes the experience, but otherwise, in two to three years now, it's not being done. A good filmmaker comes in from Italy or France comes in, the film has to be a [franchise] or they won't do it anymore."

This is low key hilarious because people been acting confused the whole thread....when his initial comments about blockbuster movies pushing out everything else was clearly talking about comic movies.

And this quote directly confirms that.

It's hilarious seeing the "DC fans" think he's just talking about marvel movies on social media

And on top of it, "a new artform entirely" is STILL a stupid fukking statement.

I mean....at this point it's whatever man. He's old, comic movies ain't his speed. I get it.

But hopefully now cats can stop acting like he took some kind of heroic stance against lowly comic movies defiling the sanctity of cinema.

All this shyt started because he couldn't get his new movie made at a "traditional studio", with a full theatrical release.

Like I said from jump, dude is just bitter.

He really said “A different art form entirely” :laff:

This is like Picasso looking at Van Gogh’s work like “it’s good but it’s not really painting”
