Abstract
In a 2019 interview with Empire magazine, Martin Scorsese started a cultural firestorm when he shared his thoughts on Marvel movies: "I don't see them. I tried, you know? But that's not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well-made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn't the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being."
