.Youl’d have hoped that after decades of cultural ridicule that geekery, now in the ascendancy, might just, just, be a little more understanding and tolerant of other viewpoints. WD Mark.

Yeah, well said.
“I think the question here is why people would ever assume Scorsese and Coppola would be into Marvel movies,” the Coatbridge-born writer said. “These guys were inspired by Truffaut, Kazan, Godard and Fassbinder and got into the business to be auteurs, two of the greatest grown-up American directors of all time. Even when they were young guys they weren’t making ET or Indiana Jones.”
He went on to say “mass market family cinema” had never been Scorsese or Coppola’s “thing”.
“I’m disturbed to see fans slamming them this week and, in the words of the greatest contemporary idiots, calling for them to be ‘cancelled’. Avengers Endgame made $2.7 billion. Marvel has enough fans. Let’s these two geniuses be themselves and love them for it, as we always do.”
This doesn’t really need its own thread though, does it? We should probably merge those posts into the Marvel movies thread.
