If you have a problem with Scorsese's comments on cinema that just lets me know you either live in your parent's basement or you're 12-years old.

He's made every type of genre. 'Taxi Driver' wasn't a mob movie. 'Raging Bull'? 'Shutter Island'?
People can enjoy different types of movies. It's more social media and streaming services that has "ruined" movies not really superhero films.
Also, companies getting lazy and wanting to use previously established IPs instead of taking risks on new ideas.

Hes on his 4th go round about this nonsense. I swear hes had the same headline for 4 years.
If films went back to the 80s style, where all the top films were new properties; maybe thatd work.
But its hard to go against damn near 100 years of goodwill and history, where ya action figures a tually come to life. MCU will peak out with xmen/F4, unless they get it right (i dont have faith), maybe another ten years after that.
Hollywood is obv filled with hacks with no imagination because theres been like 5 movies a year worth seeing this entire decade. And 90% of streaming films are trashhhh.
Doubt “film” ever comes back. But marty should be blaming streaming not marvel comics.

There's room for every genre but these comic book movies, especially Marvel Phase 4 and 5, have been absolute trash
actually sounds like scorsese is mad, nothing about superhero movies prevents anybody from watching his latest Deniro mafia flick.

They just had their time, Westerns used to be the the shyt everybody watched, Gangster flicks had literally two peaks, once in the old black and white era, and again during the scorsese prime. martial arts films dominated in the 70s because of bruce lee bringing attention to the genre.
90s gave romantic comedies a solid run on top. Now its superhero flicks. when they finish their run some other genre will take over and dominate.
how it always worked
moreover its more to do with the audience age and taste. Most people in their 30-40s are the primary spenders at the box office. Thats a generation of kids that grew watching an animated version of the mcu with the spiderman, & x-men cartoons sharing a cinematic universe. We getting what WE want right now because it's our time. When gen z hits their 30s & 40s they'll decided want to spend the money on and the industry will cater to them at that point.

Scorsee picking Nolan to make this point is odd and telling. Nolan practically revived the comic genre, and there are other filmmakers making better stories with less support.
shyts hilarious you got the “my IQ is higher than your, because I watch these movies” crowd. Doing back flips in this thread lol. Superhero movies are on the decline. And it seems like video game movies got next. So it won’t be long before the. “Video game movies are ruining cinema” takes begins. He should be more mad at streaming services. Because more people are willingly to wait for a movie. To become available on streaming services. Unless your movie is a big event film, or a children’s film.
People keep saying comic book movies are done, but Marty out here still fighting like hell like comic book movies are still rolling strong.
which is it?

His issue isn't with the "comic book movies" but if you actually read what he says its more so low stakes formulaic franchises of which MCU is the most visible culprit. No one would say TDK trilogy is formulaic or low stakes.

This is funny to see cause the Coli was/is Marvel Stan central......yall had the lowest bar for what yall were calling classics from them
I agree with Marty. shyt's getting old. With the exception of the Spiderverse and to a lesser extent Sony/Marvel Spiderman (not universe) franchise.
Even Antman which was funny and felt fresh the first time around was hot garbage in part 2.
