This clarifies things a bit: Scorsese likes telling specific kinds of stories. It’s what he likes to do. You can’t fault him for that.
He just didn’t need to call Marvel movies, what was it? Despicable, I believe. Perhaps he was caught in a bad moment.
It’s odd to note as well that Scorsese is very rooted in New York, even if not all his films happen there.
Marvel, too, was started by a New York Jew named Stan Lieber, and played a prominent role in some of his best comics, like Spiderman. Marvel dreamed of what New York COULD be. Scorsese focused on what it was.
It’s really an unnecessary argument, the whole thing. I’m not and never will be a fan of Martin Scorsese, but he’s got his thing, a lot of people like it, and they tell me he’s really good at it. Nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks. If he’s a Lou Reed fan, he should get that vibe.
Marvel movies make a lot of people happy. This alone makes them worthwhile. There’s plenty to be unhappy about, and empirically a whole lot of unhappy people. If it makes me laugh every time I remember how Nick Fury lost his eye–and the back story of that–that’s a good thing.
