      This deserves a more nuanced response than it's getting. 1. The full quote is more interesting than the headline. 2. People are allowed to dislike genres 3. Scorsese's view are of interest not just because great achievements but also because his immense knowledge of film historyhttps://twitter.com/screenrant/status/1179879708114264065 …

      4. I like Marvel movies more than Scorsese does & think some of them (Black Panther, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) are not just good examples of the genre but genuinely good movies 5. Having said that, if you dislike a genre even best example of it won't please you.

      6. When Scorsese says "that’s not cinema" it might be useful to consider that by "cinema" he means (whether he knows it or not) a particular sub-genre of movies: the art house & auteurist films of circa 1950s to early 1980s. That's his gold standard.

      7. "Cinema" is a genre within movies. Movies pre-date and post-date "cinema." Movies have traditionally drawn from sibling art forms (theatre, vaudville, comics, sports, video games, theme parks) while "cinema" attempts to achieve a purity of form.

      8. The idea that Marvel movies are like "theme parks" is not, on the face of it, false. They have some narrative but immersive roller-coaster thrills are part of genre (and often at odds with narrative). A shared universe of iterative & repetitive thrills.

      I agree with you Scorsese has earned his opinions on movies, needless to say. But I think the theme park analogy *is* false on its face. Theme parks are static. The innovation of the MCU is it hasn’t been. People cared about these characters & the chars changed.

      I dunno. I feel like it's more "the illusion of change" (to use Stan Lee's words) than change. I mean any universe where the dead can be brought back to life has a static element.

      Where does Stan Lee call it 'the illusion of change'?

      It's a quote from Sean Howe's Marvel Comics history. Circa 1971 Stan told his staff something like: for the last decade we've given change, now we must give the illusion of change.
