Martin Scorsese - Marvel movies are 'not cinema'

[MartyMcFly]

This shyt is still funny

Still incredible people expect a man his age who grew up on the shyt he grew up on to truly respect comic book films. He’s not going to. He won’t. At least not the ones that make a billion dollars.

Let that shyt go.

You know what? The more time away I have from watchmen the less I like it. I think Snyder was so stuck on recreating the look and feel of it that he forgot to convey what it means. If that means anything.

Like the tv show understood what the comic book meant. It took its themes and applied them rather than just throwing them against the wall and hoping they stick. Not recreating watchmen seems to be the best way to truly nail the tone of the comic and what it’s larger points are.

The ‘Mob Flick, Mob Flick, Mob Flick’ had me rollin

Because the comic book train’s still running strong.

I like Marvel movies, but I hate how they've almost killed off regular action movies.

I also hate how almost all of them are just action-comedies.

Seriously. The lack of variety is troublesome.

I still like it, but it's insane how faithful the adaptation was as far as bringing the panels to picture...while still completely missing the point and essence of the source material. The show did that much better by far and the team responsible for it will be doing Blade for Marvel which is a good sign.

 

[Lucky Me]

I enjoy most comic book movies even tho I know the shyt is fluff, but Marty is right about his criticisms of them and If I gotta choose what's more important to cinema his filmography or the million comic book films I'ma choose Marty every time.

That’s why people are encouraging him to stay home, be a grand pop and watch cars on the front porch but some people seem to be angered by that

Scorsese should direct a comic book movie and show them how it should be done. I guarantee it would be the greatest comic movie ever made.

Which Marvel character would do the voice over dialog

I can hear that but it all reeks of “how dare this old man not like what I love” when in reality, who cares? I get Scorsese is who he is and his opinion holds weight in the larger scope of film, but if you love something and someone else doesn’t, so the fukk what?

The internet, and the larger film world as a whole, looks for validation entirely too much. If you think guardians of the galaxy or infinity war is the greatest thing since edible thongs, then feel that shyt and say it with your chest.

Someone they look up to disagreeing shouldn’t change that or make anyone feel less secure about their opinions. That’s the wildest part about this whole shyt to me

This is one of my biggest gripes with the comic book films. The characters are about to die or the world is about to end and its nothing but a pure joke fest

Thats that comic book accuracy right there.

Spidey could be getting his teeth kicked in and still find a way to make fun of Green Goblins costume.
