Martin Scorsese is entitled to his opinion on the Marvel movies, like anyone is. But he has neither the right nor the authority to decide what qualifies as cinema. And if he truly believes the medium is an art form, one which (like most art) is significantly defined by the emotional response it wrests from an audience, then maybe he should consider whether he’s ever, in his entire career, generated the kind of emotion in an audience that a guy picking up a hammer did.

Tbf Twitter isn’t the best place for talking about movies since from my experience it’s every one rushing to try and see who can make the most dumb a hot takes or be the biggest asshole regardless of what the movie is or whose side they are on.
 
Then again Twitter is a crappy place in general

And for the record no I don’t hate Scorsese despite finding his opinion on comic book movies and what counts as “real cinema” to be a bad take, I’m sure he’s a nice guy and I know he’s done a lot for the film industry, it’s just that a lot of his fans are rubbing me the wrong way and a lot of them just come across as really smug and pretentious whenever they bring him up, and the garbage teir memes Twitter and Moviecirclejerk keep making about him aren’t improving that image.

Rumor has it that Amber Heard has been fired from the Aquaman sequel, though nothing official has been stated yet.
 
Just get rid of her and Jason Momoa and I’ll actually want to watch Aquaman 2.

Scorsese is right. The move away from creator-driven cinema and towards studio-driven and franchise-driven cinema such as Marvel movies, along with the valuing of quantity over all, is devaluing film as an art form and can ruin cinema in years to come.
 
But when the headlines are deliberately misleading like that, people will automatically be biased against him.

Yes, because as George Lucas showed us, an unrestrained creative will always produce a quality product.
 
 
Creator driven does not inherently imply good, nor does studio driven inherently imply bad. There are plenty of George Lucas and John Rameros out there in the studio and gaming worlds that need to be a little reigned in, just as there are plenty of studios out there that need less creative control.

@Zincy  
So what about the whole idea of franchise-driven cinema taking over? I mean, there’s not really a whole lot that creators can do when constrained by the world of a preexisting piece of media.
 
And for the record, as an Avatar fan, I am really skeptical of them expanding it into a whole franchise.

They tried to continue the series with the multiplayer Nosgoth entry but it didn’t take. They also were making a new singleplayer entry with Dark Sun but never finished.
 
I miss Legacy of Kain.
