Marvel directors are assembling in defense of their superhero movies after a bit of criticism from legendary directorMartin Scorsese.
TheDepartedOscar winner dismissed the MCU as not cinema during an interview while promoting his upcoming gangster epicThe Irishman.
Asked if hes watched the films, the director toldEmpire: I dont see them.
I tried, you know?
But thats not cinema.
It isnt the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.
Gunn himself also had a response: Martin Scorsese is one of my 5 favorite living filmmakers.
I was outraged when people picketedThe Last Temptation of Christwithout having seen the film.
Im saddened that hes now judging my films in the same way.
Representatives for Scorsese did not immediately reply to EWs request for comment.
Not that I dont love the movies.
Its like, oy!)
And for people to get mad at that just proves my point).
