Because the MCU is way more popular than both of those? LinkMarioSamus posted... EDIT: Having read those more thoroughly, well I've seen a grand total of ONE movie from all of the filmmakers Scorsese mentioned. I loved There Will Be Blood, but it seems to be Anderson's most mainstream film perhaps by virtue of being a period piece about a bombastic man? What? Were you not paying attention to the movie? There's so much more going on there. The church scene alone is worth far more than the entire MCU alone. LinkMarioSamus posted... I still stand by what I said though. The Honest Trailer for Goodfellas hilariously compares Henry Hill's arc to Captain America's in the MCU. The only truth is that Marvel movies are not ABOUT the things Scorsese wants in cinema, but many of them do have those things. So it still seems like it's the subject matter they have problems with. I haven't watched their honest trailer, but I imagine they compare the mob life to SHIELD? Honest Trailers very often just jokes about skin deep coincidences. ~~Hill only betrayed the mob once he realized he was about to be taken out, he acted completely selfishly and did it to save his own ass~~. The Cap movies on the other hand focus on Cap having to reevalute his values. He's no longer just a soldier, he's living in the modern world and has to understand that you can't always trust your superiors. --- https://www.backloggery.com/betrayedtangerin <cite>BetrayedTangy posted [p:966618975] in Board 8 Wa...
