Please don't clog this thread with more of these criticisms on Scorsese's Marvel comments. Take it to a more fitting thread, please.
I dont think anyone is doing it on purpose. Its inevitable to a point and its mostly thanks to some highly controversial comments by mr Scorsese that wont go away easily.
Martin Scorsese can spit on Kevin Feige's bald head and Feige himself would say thank you. I would sacrifice the entire MCUniverse for Taxi Driver. I'll even be more honest with you, man, IF you ever disrespect him even in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.
Thats mean spirited and wrong on every level. Top 10 of BS i ve seen in this forum and i would even accept that some of my own comments can fit this bill but none of them are in this thread just to let you know.
I haven't even seen it, and I know this is crazy talk.
If you havent seen it then its a bad statement.
Well I don’t hold an exalted opinion of Taxi Driver in the first place just because I’m “supposed” to.
Everyone is allowed to rate movies how they please but high ratings should be taken into account when your opinion goes against the majority's opinion.
But nevertheless what you say is fair and i agree even though i personally rate Taxi Driver higher than Joker but its not like the margin is that great.
Taxi Driver was better than Joker. I don't think that is a contest
I could see why it would be for some people. Taxi Driver has an edge but its not big imho.
Also people ignore or miss the fact that Taxi Driver like every movie of the previous decades enjoyed something new movies cant have.
Being original , less experienced unsuspected and innocent audiences and being the first to explore a theme.
After you see something for the first time the novelty factor wears off the next time around.
Past movies clearly have a default advantage of being "classics".
I Liked Joker but this comment cannot be repeated enough.
Thats debatable imho.
For those that want the Marvel talk to go away, tell that to Scorsese and his friends. Francis Ford Coppola recently told Yahoo that Marvel movies are despicable. All of these comments are going to have unintended consequences.
Exactly this.
Good on Scorsese to voice his opinion.
The Irishman looks really good.
Yes you re entitled to your own opinions but you re not entitled to your own facts.
Less than 10% is not an invasion and his comments are ignorant , mean and reeking of jealousy.
This wont change because he is one of the all time greats.
Okay... does this matter? Is there a reason this is in the Irishman thread?
Maybe we should make a thread for those who are taking this so poorly. I mean, I disagree with him, have said so, but I also know we are talking about a 76 year old man, that has done so much for cinema and apparently his biggest crime is not liking Marvel movies. Okay.
If you think actual filmmakers are going to start coming from the greatest American film maker to ever live, I'd be more worried about them and their qualities.
Comments like his are bound to produce controversy.
And people here are trying to defend them which is extremely biased imho and makes this situation and debate continue.
You cant defend an ignorant comment and if you due controversy will ensue.
If we are being honest, most of Hollywood. I don't agree of course. But there is a reason why we get the idea that people turn their noise up at them. They see them as platforms for getting paid, getting noticed and getting roles.
Jealousy.
Do your own movies mind your own business. Audiences will decide whats worth of attention.
You can criticize movies but expect a critic of your own critic and try to be factual.
You cant randomly say "they are invading us" when they are less than 10% of the market and then expect no reply.

P.S.
Compotent or even extremely compotent people sometimes make bad judgements. Why is that so hard to get and why you re trying to defend those bad calls ?
Its biased and doesnt make sense. Let it go.
