Marvel Cinematic Universe

[That Chris Guy]

I am fine with Scorsese saying that they're "not cinema". It's not because I don't much care for the MCU anymore, but because the bulk of them are highly disposable. It would be like me being insulted that The Expendables is not cinema - he obviously means that it's not to a golden standard he feels makes it worthy of cinema, and let's be honest folks: it isn't. I may have liked The Expendables, but I can see it being crap in other peoples' eyes.

As it stands, where people view Infinity War as amazing and can't stop gushing about it, I see it as a half-decent popcorn flick. It was a stronger entry in the series, but that only turned it into a B+ for me. Doesn't mean you should burn all copies of it and salt the earth, but let's take them for what they are as cheap entertainment and appreciate them for that instead of trying to elevate them to something they're not.

So Feige will be taking over ALL of Marvel soon

Not surprising, but with the rumors that he'll also head up Lucasfilm soon too can't help but wonder if he'll buck under all the responsibility.

It is a matter of when, even if he is capable right now Feige got maybe at most ten years before the wear & tear and ageing is going to effect his health. If Disney wants to keep milking the MCU cashcow they need to find or clone more "Feiges."

Problem is time as Feige isn't a spring chicken anymore and being in charge of MCU and SW will eat up most of it.

NOOOOOOO

"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."

I mean, it's easy to say they're out of touch, but darn it after seeing Joker and remembering the old Superman/Reeve and Batman/Burton-Nolan films just remind how the Disney superhero method is too juvenile and preachy to really reach audiences in a way more than "eh, I was entertained by two hours".

 

[cypocryphy]

Oh, man...balding thirty-somethings with beards are going to be angry again.

 

[Syaoran Li]

NOOOOOOO

Francis Ford Coppola is based as fuck.

The dude made two of my favorite movies (The Godfather and Bram Stoker's Dracula) and now he's calling out the MCU for the garbage it is. Bearded Millennial bugmen officially on suicide watch.

The soy boy sleeps with the fishes...

Feels really good to have some of your favourite directors come out and shit on the mcu.
Even if i do like some the films and had a good time seeing some of them, its good to see it made fun of so we hopefully shake some sense into the bald cucks who wanna nominate RDJ for an oscar for a subpar performance in an ok movie.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

He also let a literal child rapist have a career sooooo

Also LMAOOOOO ppl want an Oscar for RDJ? The fuck
Is this because of the sjw getting BP into the Oscars?

So fans were pushing for him to get nominated for best actor for endgame, disney approached him and asked if he wanted that and he said no.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Victor Salva. The Jeepers Creepers guy. Be careful looking him up bc his crimes are horrific.

There are a bunch of thirtysomethings out there who will never be happy until all pop culture media production is centralized among a couple of megacorps who do nothing but pump out endless variations of their favorite childhood media properties directly to streaming services.

For some reason these people are totally resistant to seeing the centralization of popular media as a product of the same economic forces that destroyed local businesses and delivered news media, transportation infrastructure, etc into the hands of a few billionaire CEOs.

But Coppola was friends with a pedophile that means he's a doo doo head!!!

Dude's gonna be under a truckload of pressure though if Disney's not only expecting him to keep the MCU gravy train going but pull both Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics out of their tailspins.

Men have cracked under far less pressure is all I'm saying.

But Coppola was friends with a pedophile that means he's a doo doo head!!!

Question, why do you need big producers' opinions to validate your hatred of popcorn schlock?

Seriously this autistic hate boner some of you guys have for the MCU is just as annoying as guys like Moviebob comparing it to Citizen Kane.

In response to Martin and Francis, this faggot gives us his hot take
