"When Martin Scorsese says that the Marvel pictures are not cinema, he's right because we expect to learn something from cinema, we expect to gain something, some enlightenment, some knowledge, some inspiration.
"I don't know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again," the 80-year-old filmmaker said.
"Martin was kind when he said it's not cinema. He didn't say it's despicable, which I just say it is."
Do you learn much from movies?Nope.
Some might argue you get dumber.
To me, superhero movies are...no eating themselves. They break down the fourth wall to address the audiences' savvy towards...other superhero movies. Also, extending a franchise is probably the most despicable part. They know they'll be making 30 of them, so you know who will survive or not. There are no elements of story that that are worth telling.
Life is absolutely fascinating if you observe it. And the comic book movie doesn't observe life. It takes a core sensibility of our own morals and attempt to shoe-horn value.
Only America sees film as commerce. Other cultures see them as art.
