And in collaboration with other artists! (De Niro, Schoonmaker, Herrmann, Schrader, etc.) That's why it was so weird for him to say that the "unified vision of an individual artist" was the sine qua non of cinema.

Most people don't remember the directors of the MCU movies.

Right, but my question is: Could he make the same argument about the economic structure of Hollywood without also slagging superhero movies as uncinematic? Is the second point necessary in making the first?
-
If the second point is wrong, is the first sustainable? (I'm sympathetic to Scorsese here fwiw)

I'm not sure he has always made movies aiming for mass appeal. SILENCE, KUNDUN, his music docs - these couldn't have been conceived with boffo box office in mind. He has had, I think, 8 films break $100MM in his long career. I think he chases his own muse, not mass appeal.

There is nothing wrong with making “expressive films” as you put it. You have to make them well, and he does. I hate the idea of exclusionary art; an art limited in its appeal just a few connaisseurs, a few circles. That’s not art. That’s snobbery disguised as art

They don’t make Harrison Ford action movies anymore. And they give Oscars to movies nobody goes to.

Maybe the problem is that he doesn't have a clear critical framework to make his points so he seems to be just copypasting things he heard elsewhere. It's also weird for a well-known director to be playing the role of film critic.
-
Martin Scorsese has forgotten more about "auteurism" than you or Jeet will ever know. Also: plenty of well-known filmmakers have been critics, and vice versa. Truffaut, Godard, Bogdanovic, Schrader, many others. It's okay for you to not know things and not to have a take.
