I can watch his movies no problem.
Let’s do something different with these big movies.
Let’s make them something different than everything that’s come before ‘em.’
Gunn concluded, “So… a lot of what he said was good.
And then also, like he hasn’t seen my movie.

In Scorsese’sNew York Timespiece, “I Said Marvel Movies Aren’t Cinema.
Let Me Explain,” theIrishmandirector stated he had a different creative brief when it came to making movies.
(Whedon was quoting Bruce Banner’s famousAvengersline.)
“Martin Scorsese is a genius.
If you’re really good at something, commenting on that world is completely within your rights.
And it doesn’t diminish my respect for him.

[Laughs] He might’ve been, but I like to think he wasn’t.
He meant the other ones.”
A representative for Scorsese didn’t immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
