I don't care

Typical capeshit only homosexual mindset
we know
anyone normal understands they're slop but fun
only the most deluded of fanboys pretend they're high cinema
Actually the Marvel ones are like modern greek stories.
Man, shut the frick up nerd.
you shut the frick up. winter soldier was one of the best in the action genre, spy thriller genre, political drama, and superhero genre all in one. You low browed moron.
No they aren't
Tell that to the fans of black panther the movie, they really thought it was a best picture Oscar movie contender
those weren't superhero fans. you do realize that it's the academy members, Hollywood actors and directors, virtue signaling after the oscarssowhite who wanted to reward an all-black casted film. it was good, but average good, not the review/ratings or box office it was getting. governments literally spent money to bus inner city (black) kids to theaters and treat them to the movie, which is part of why it did so well.
it wasn't about it's quality, it was about making a political point. it was an average film. Although michael b jordan was one of the best villains and did a great job fleshing out the best part of the writing.
This is such a Kevin Smith-ism. Jesus fricking Christ I hate manchildren like you.
The weird part is they always single out Greek and Greek myth was mostly about tragedy and the heroes eventually falling from grace
capeshitters equate the Greek concepts of heroism and tragedy to modern moral homosexualry and the hero journey "big muscular guy punch big monster"
Never was canon, and they sure as frick expect you to see their new shows now.
he was dead wrong, jealous, and an old fart.
It's just weird coming from him, the king of Gangsterschlock.
Gangster movies make up a small percentage of what his filmography
Also those gangsger movies tend to be some of the best in the genre
Asking Cinemaphile to argue in good faith is like asking a Muslim to look for morality within and beyond religious indoctrination.
Maybe it's not impossible, but it is quite the herculean task.

What he describes is just most blockbusters in the last 30 years
Superhero movies remind me more of the big epic movies the studios cranked out in the '50s and '60s to compete with television, many of them based on existing IP (eg remakes of Ben-Hur and Mutiny on the Bounty, or Broadway musicals). Some of them are fun, others are terrible, but they're almost totally impersonal.
Scorsese probably didn't like most of those movies when he was young either. "Cinema" to him meant directors making personal movies that nobody else could have made.
Of course he's right.
I disagree. The big epics of the 50s and 60s had a lot more heart to them than the superhero epics of today.
Here's Scorsese talking up Ben-Hur.

I don't think much of mcu but this feels like an unfair criticism to apply to all of it. Something like Winter Soldier certainly had human and pathological experiences even if it's wrapped in a capeshit shell
I think its funny how Coppola said Scorsese was being too nice and the MCU is despicable trash and yet all the fanboys fixated on Marty alone.
Coppola is less relevant. Marty still makes a movie every 2 years.
Of course there's Megalopolis coming out this winter but it looks like another one of his movies Twixt, weird arthouse crap that no one likes
I dunno, some of them definitely had a theme or something they wanted to talk about at least early on that follows through with that thread. Iron Man talks about moral responsibility, where the line is drawn in terms of what a man is responsible for and obligated to do in regards to things beyond his own immediate reach and legacy, what defines a man after he's gone and so on.
I wouldn't say it's insanely deep or the best depiction of those issues, but I would argue that one of the factors involved in the better capeshit is if there's at least some kind of question being asked or concept being discussed and how well they use these characters to do it in a way that's well delivered.
