I personally enjoy his devotion to the gimmick. He will literally change opinions he has held on a previous subject in order to keep it up

Say what you want about their movie opinions, but to call racism here is beyond stupid. This person obviously never seen any Scorsese or Coppola film. You could say he's being as ignorant as they are. This is just someone trying to stir shit up and make a mountain out of this molehill.

If you see "white privelege", "male privelege", and ESPECIALLY "white male privelege" you can instantly and safely dismiss everything the writer has to say. Nothing they have to say is worth reading, let alone worth considering.

lmfao
people are really mad that their dumb super hero films were criticized and reaching at every straw they can to discredit them

like the thread is dumb, bad, and lazy

with no merit to its arguments.

This dude says "all of scorsese's film are the same" (clear he hasn't seen much of them)

and does not see the irony when lauding the MCU which are LiTERALLY THE SAME FUCKING THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN

This is a good take.

I'd rather hear Martin Scorsese talk about virtually anything more so than his personal feeling towards superhero movies.

Like why he thought Andrew Garfield would be a good actor for Silence and if he can admit he was wrong.

I thought about this from the beginning. It's ridiculous. It's bait to get a headline regardless of how their answer. I have no idea why superhero movies have this weird desperation to find validation. It's the most popular genre right now!

I cant tell if your inability to react like a human in the face of disagreement or criticism of things you put forward and claim as true with no evidence is a gimmick or just how you are.

You didn't provide any points of actual merit,

the person you posted clearly knows nothing about Scorsese and is so butt mad about his dumb superhero films being critiqued that he is throwing shit at the wall.

Comparing the two directors to red hats is marginally less stupid than the Trump Admin itself

You ask noted African american directors like Spike Lee and Charles Burnett about these
films

or noted Female directors like Claire Denis and Jane Campion

about the MCU and i'm sure they'd say the exact same fucking thing

Your mistake was thinking just any regular on CE (and there are some exceptions) had an opinion on discussions that pertained to race that was worth a damn. Yall can placate the Addys, imma clown them

Please don't pretend these super hero films are some kind of form of progressiveness

Black Panther made the CIA the good guy
Captain Marvel made the u.s military the good guy

both of those organizations have destroyed the lives of countless non-white people.

A much better film came out a year after Black Panther for a fraction of the cost

and like the beginning of BP it takes place in Oakland
