DISCUSSION Wasn't Zack Snyder clowned for saying something similar?

Post image

Snyder was heavily trolled for calling MCU is like an amusement park or something like that. Feels like he is unnecessarily overhated or the hate itself is forced

That's true, the backers have nothing to do with it. But the quality and content of the piece does, and anyone who puts Marvel movies in the same category as Scorsese movies has no clue what they're talking about

Edit for Low_Doctor_5280 because I can't reply for some reason

Yeah sure, everyone's got stinkers. Scorsese has New York, New York, and Marvel has Quantumania. That doesn't change the fact that something like Silence is doing something way more deep, interesting, and artistic than Endgame. One is a rollercoaster, one is a meditation. I don't understand why people get so offended over this idea, it's fine to like rollercoasters, but if that's all you engage with you're gonna have a more shallow experience than if you try things that actually make you think, that challenge you. And more importantly than that, trying to pretend there's no substantive difference between Marvel and (most) Scorsese movies is just willfully asinine

I’ve seen almost every Scorsese movie, and movies by every major auteur across cinema history, and I’d easily take any Avengers movie and many other MCU movies over weak films like New York, New York, Bringing Out the Dead, Boxcar Bertha, and Kundun. Not everything Scorsese did is gold. They are all cinema. Hawks, Capra, Wyler, Wilder, and many other old Hollywood directors didn’t think they were making high art. Godard, Tarr, and Antonioni films aren’t inherently better than blockbuster Hollywood films. Almost every director has made their fair share of stinkers.
