He's completely right. Superhero movies are trash. Joker, which borrowed heavily from his movies, had a little more going for it. They've also been getting more and more soulless since Donner's Superman (to be fair, so have his movies).
Superhero movies are no different from the horror movies of the 70s/80s, the action movies of the 80s/90s and the sci-fi movies of the 90s/2000s. Blockbuster cinema is necessary for studios to afford to take chances on auteur projects and creating a needless divide only serves to weaken the industry.

The latter three have some creativity and variety.
Going to be even snobbier and say that A24 drones are infinitely worse than capeshit consoomers. At least the latter realize they're just watching for-fun movies. The former dominate all internet discussion with their quippy one liner reviews.

They're not fun. What people say when they mean a movie is "fun" is that there was enough flashing lights and loud sounds to keep you occupied. Like dangling keys in front of a baby.
Thankfully people are starting to grow up.
So you enjoy Marvel movies for social credit, not the actual movies

"Real Cinema" discourse and its consequences have been a disaster for comic book movies.
Marvel style films are fast food with 0 surprises, even without watching them I feel like I already know what's going to happen a couple seconds into every clip.

is right. arthouse gays have their head up their own ass, their movies don't get made without popcorn shit that studios need to have income
it's a symbiotic relationship. clooney and others were always right, one for the studio, one for me, perfect system to finance what you want
Nah, that arthouse shit is easily better than capeslop. Most of the time they're dull wankery, but you don't get half-decent stuff Ex Machina or Under the Skin from the MCU.
Capeshit hubris should never have progressed to the point where arthouse directors were being asked about it and having it pushed on them. They should rightly exist in entirely separate worlds.
But cape consumers and marketers couldn't allow the idea that there was a world beyond capes, that truthfully their movies inhabited a narrow range of experiences that people ought to venture out of. They were so intoxicated by the Marvel hype that they needed it to subsume everything. So they tried to make cape films an inescapable part of the cinema conversation.
And when people sensibly responded by pointing out how absurd that is, and how empty these films are, the inevitable existential meltdown followed.

Their success and popularity begs to differ.
Yes, there are a lot of adult babies who need mindless shit to look at.
>Thankfully people are starting to grow up.
By flocking to Barbie, Mario and Five Nights At Freddy's instead?
that's how terrible marvel shit is, like it or not even the dora movie was an improvement.

Scorsese started this unprompted.
Nope. He was asked what he thought about Marvel movies.
