Bullshyt elitism. It’s all cinema, but all cinema is not made equally. Scorsese movies are probably better than the entire MCU, but is that because of genre or because Scorsese is just a much better filmmaker than those who directed MCU films? I’d say the latter.
I’m not entirely sure it’s elitism. Marty likes a lot of B movies from the 50s and 60s and flicks other people in this very forum would look down on lol.

I think your last point is really valid tho and an interesting one. Got me thinking

Dude saying its not real cinema is some fake deep hogshyt. Nobody above being called out on saying some emotional jealousy type shyt. He's still human. At the end of the day, if someone is telling a story with a camera and it's shown in a theater it's technically cinema. :comeon: Dude needs to get over himself. People will sit here saying "art is subjective" while defending abstract bullshyt, but now all that's out the window because Marvel's "art" forming it's own economy. :heh:


(edit: i didn't know if you were agreeing or disagreeing with your comment, so i apologize if this is just a miscommunication)

See, this is the bullshyt I can’t stand...nikka gone try to be obtuse and shyt, talking about the audience like they know “the audience” personally.

you just saying that to support your view. Ain’t got nothing to do with what directors have done since the first film studio opened...
What you just typed is absurd and shows howvyou havent put an ounce of effort into thinking about what is being discussed.

The audience shows what they want in going to see the movie. Their actions in buying ticketa repeat views, shows that marvel movies built an audience connection.

Some of you seem to think that how you personally feel disregards basic logic, ita okay to dislike genres or films. Just accept the fact that ita your personal preference doesn't make what you are saying a fact and its a sign of immaturity when you try to make arguments as to why non alignment with your personal preference is an "issue"

Most people who watch movies can't be bothered making a best director's short list.
You could say the same about music producers. But Even if that’s true his movies are still among the most popular ever.

Goodfellas and Casino get quoted constantly.

“You talking to me”

Jack Nicholas performance in The Departed. These will be remembered forever.

We could go on.

90% of the people that watched Thor 2 probably don’t remember what that shyt was about.

Why would he be bitter? :skip:
