The Real Reason Martin Scorsese Is RIGHT About Marvel Movies 

He is correct. Nevertheless, art is subjective. Most film goers are people under the age of 40 with very short attention spans. These are not people who secretly long to be film directors. They are people going out on a date for the weekend. Why would they spend money to see a film they have no interest in? They have limited time and limited money and let’s just be real, most guys are just using the movie as an excuse to go on a date with a love interest.

⁠@@mykilahsenwilliamsdorsey1495Marvel Movies are cinema. Now to what affect, that subjective. But if fits the definition. Moving pictures have been around for a little over the decade. They are the one of newest forms of media. At this point, it sounds like Martin is jealous because his movies don’t slay at the box office. But that’s usually how it works. High Concept or super artsy movies don’t usually make a ton of money. It’s almost like the directors are talking down to the audience. You can’t get mad at people for not wanting to watch your movie. They like what they like.

@@mykilahsenwilliamsdorsey1495My bad, bro. I commented under the wrong person.

@@derrickdiggs8612 thousands bad of non comics book movies have been made. Why focus on bad comic book movies. Logan and taxi driver are both great. Marty is a legend but he sounds like a hater lol.

@@derrickdiggs8612 🤣 It’s all good my brother. I agree with your statement.

He just joined Letterbox'd so I hope he doesn't find out about Reddit anytime soon hahaha. Appreciate the comment man!

Says the one who believes "studying" something is a task you do as a side job. Gotta love people who think research is a hobby that you can do between dinner and bedtime.

​@@ohausswhat? Are you saying that martin Scorsese studies film on the side? As if he isn't intimately familiar with film making and is a passionate film watcher? I'd imagine Martin has done a great deal of actual studying when it comes to film and not just weekend hobby work considering he's a phenomenal director. He certainly is far from ignorant about film

@@chaseazarian Oh no... imo Letterboxd "reviewers" are just as bad as Redditors.

Yeah because people equally as qualified as him disagree. You shouldn’t get a pass on shitty opinions because you’re experienced or whatever. And I agree with the opinion btw

They're low key saving this industry from death by themselves

It, A24, is diversifying its’ portfolio with more “mainstream” fare since they can’t really profit off of the original stuff anymore.

@@fragileguyguy7226 They could still make art quality films, even if they make franchises.

It used to be that way. In the 90's, early 2000's, every story was unique and for the most part it didn't matter which movie you went to, coz the quality was pretty high that almost any movie was good. Today.... a good movie is a needle in a haystack, you have to search between all the garbage of infantile superhero comic soapserie bs and all the vile politics with no good story movies, that have particularly risen since Hollywood thought it had to 'educate' us when Hillary Clinton lost the election.... sorry guys, I only have to look in the rear mirror to see what marxism did and the hundreds of millions it killed, which you of course conveniently leave out of your 'lecturing', it's like talking about Nazi's and conveniently leaving out the Holocaust.... yeah no, do what you do best, making a movie and leave politics to people with an actual brain, okay?

A24 is not Cinema, It’s a pretentious film company that tries way too hard to make “Art”. It’s nowhere near the authenticity that real Cinema requires. Period.

Coming from Batman himself! I appreciate the comment man, and I think that's all he wants at the end of the day. I think the headlines made it seem like he was attacking something, rather than just trying to defend what is important to him. Thank you for the comment!

​@@chaseazarianhe is 100 percent right. While I love superhero lore, MCU when their good, Infinity War/Endgame are in my top 30 movies. This year almost every character drama, mid budget comedy and independent have bombed but every article treats them like "Awww silly little inde film thinks he's a big boy even though you had no chance of success" when a blockbuster bombs like Dial of destiny which Past Lives made 3.3 precent of the box office fo it they say make 100 excuses some more valid than others. This is a dramatic disparity that people want to talk about but don't do anything. A24 just announced that it has to pivot towards IP or action movies so they don't go bankrupt and audiences with blockbuster fetishes see these A24 action movies cause they were made for them. Barbenhimer was a stroke of luck nothing more then that. So god for bid Marty is a little angry. He needs to scream to the roof tops "Go fucking expand your tastes ! You won't like every prestige film you see just like how comic book movies are a roller coasters in quality. But when there's is nothing left to remake and all there's no original films now to remake later and cinema and Hollywood collapses blood will be on the general audiences hands. I am a cinaphile, a geek, and a future filmmaker who is terrified that by the time I get to Hollywood theres no room for my voice.

​@@chaseazarianPeople being picky about what movies to see these days is Hollywood's fault cause they voted for this economy cause their former friend says mean things.

The original superhero we had is Jesus Christ that's the real reason why Martin Scorsese doesn't like the MCU.

@@Thespeedrap He loves Jesus. I have not seen Silence but my view of Last Temptation is that he made a personal sacrifice being the Messiah and that he wasn't allowed to be flawed, or have true love or have any traditional life. The movie made me closer to Jesus.

Great comparison Derek! I wish I had thought of that because it would have been a killer line for the video hahaha! Appreciate the comment man!

Makes sense to me we really need variety when it comes to alot of things.

@@lucasferreira89739 “Ms. Muslim”? Check your racism there mate.

I’m sorry but how are you making a legit argument about this? Cinema is NOT music. You don’t see music, you hear it. Movies are a VISUAL medium, they use music in order to help illustrate what you are seeing and should be feeling but that is not the same. There are thousands and thousands of films I’ll bet you’ve never even seen that came about before you were an itch in your daddy’s pants. Do you bother watching them? No of course not. You can’t be bothered. It’s easier to criticize than create. Right? Marty is not the all time greatest bc as far as I understand history he didn’t invent it. He doesn’t get to dictate what cinema is or isn’t. It’s his OPINION! I don’t watch movies that either Marty approves or tells me to and neither should you. I’m sick of these wannabe film “geeks” telling ppl how they agree with Marty and cbm and specifically marvel ones are so horrible. Go do something else with your precious time. Read a book, go on an adventure or two or here’s an idea….Go Make A MOVIE of your own. What’s your excuse now? You ppl are the reason ppl can’t simply enjoy something, you have to be the proverbial wet blanket that ruins the fun. I have waited decades for Hollywood to finally get it right about cbm. I have watched countless horrible films both Oscar winners and losers, trashy films and artsy films and I said nothing. Now I finally get to see my heroes represented on the screen and you can’t simply wait your Fn turn? Grow up! Grow up and realize life doesn’t owe you anything. You want it, go and get it. Just stop making these moronic videos that I can’t seem to get rid of despite telling the algorithm I don’t like them. So now I’m going to haunt each one and rant how stupid and pointless this is.

No one that only saw Movies is a Marvel Fan! If you know Marvel through Movies only, you are a casual!

Marvel is trash for children

@@DarylMCDeathabsolutely true most of them are MCU fans.

​​​@@Mr.unknown.K Right do you know how many times I had MCU movie fans try to tell me , a marvel comic fan since the 80s that Deadpool was the first wise cracking fourth wall breaking marvel character? Despite me showing Johnny Storm was the first wise ass then Peter Parker with the sarcasm and wit and She Hulk was the first fourth wall breaking marvel character, they STILL tried to argue with me and others SMH Also the ones who act like World war hulk was the first hulk (yes Ive seen this) and had no idea grey hulk was the first hulk It's bad enough when they do it but these popular "Superhero" channels do the same thing and don't do their due diligence and the MCU fans just accept it as gospel The John Kransiski nonsense was so cringe, they don't even know who Reed Richards is or what his motivation is , they can't even give you a deep reason why John should be him , just because someone did a Photoshopped photo of him? That's their only reason? You're right I can't stand the MCU movie fans either

@@Chuck_EL It's sad cause I may not have read all that many comics but I've spent years reading wiki's and listening to youtubers explain some of the best comic book storylines beat by beat to me. I usually speak with utmost confidence on stuff I know about but I don't like to pretend I know something I don't. What grinds my gears the most about other MCU fans is the pretentious need to be a know it all. Saying "I don't/wouldn't know" is sometimes seen as shameful in certain groups. I can't really call myself an MCU fan anymore, though. I think the last time I thoroughly enjoyed myself at a MCU movie was Infinity War. Yes, I even had major gripes with Endgame.

even that isn't really a fair example, because they are relying in the Batman IP, of course, seen through a very unique lens, but still relying in a recognizeable IP.

I think Joker gets way more hate than it deserves, because people say "look at it just copying Scorsese". Sure there is influence from Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, but it is still clearly one of the few comic book films trying something DIFFERENT over the past decade. That Talk Show scene was super effective, and there is a reason it is already pretty iconic. Thank you for the comment Danny!

After watching Joker, I always felt that it didn't need to be based on an IP or any relation to the comic book supervillain. Take away the names, the setting's name and you got a film that works super well on its work. But it used an IP to gain attention. And if it didn't have Joker's name slapped onto it, the film wouldn't have had much attention.

But those three films are themselves perpetuate the ideas of Hollywood being dominated by franchise and recognizable IPs. Top Gun is a sequel to a well known 80s movie who have its huge share of merchandising and pop culture references. Barbie is a film based on a popular toyline with an expansive medium presence through cartoons, video games, etc. And though Oppenheimer is like the only one that isn’t a franchise, it is pretty much all part of the Christopher Nolan brand of movies.

@@BigK13372I also feel studios are going to take the wrong lesson from the Barbie-Heimer success stories. Barbie was a concept that could have tanked hard, but a talented filmmaker made a good movie tbh. Unfortnately, Studios will go ‘Mattel toy cinematic universe’ instead of looking for other talented filmmakers with risky concepts.

"should not be just dominated" so it is hate because they are now popular, they make money. They hat the other guys is having a great success.

​@@TheDawnofVanlifeBarbie was never going to be a financial failure, mate.

The MCU is a Kevin Feige production. To their credit, I think that is why it has been as successful as it has been, because if you want a guy to be in charge of something like this, he is the perfect choice. But having directors like Chloe Zhao direct something that feels the same as the rest of the franchise is just disappointing, which has me interested in what the new DC will look like as James Gunn has made it clear that the priority is giving directors the freedom to tell the stories how they want to tell them. I appreciate the comment Daryno!

I detest cinematic “universes” with uniform creative consistency. What made superhero movies in the 2000s was their varied directions and styles. I’d rewatch any of those movies again before I ever go back to any post 2010 marvel movie.

⁠@@ValoricExactly. Instead of giving a new take on a familiar character, having their story flow well on its own *regardless* of the “cinematic universe” it’s apart of, and generally making something that isn’t “audible & visual junk food”; we get cookie-cutter movies that honestly feel the same, or fail to make us invested because god forbid they make the superhero struggle with anything for any other reason besides “plot demands it.” Funnily enough, the “Kaiju-verse” is probably the “”””cinematic universe”””” trope done *right* because every movie stands out on their own, *regardless* of the cinematic universe aspect. Sure it’s still Junk food, but they actually try *new* things with the characters and monsters; fight scenes that actually feel creative and/or interesting; tension and suspense, and so on. Hell, even *Godzilla vs Kong,* a crossover, doesn’t force you to watch the other movies to understand everything (yes, there are a few things, that still do, but they’re minor or secondary compared to the main plot). It has some things to still work out, but it’s generally a fun and engaging time with each movie.

It's hard to produce films as quickly as Marvel wants if you're allowing people to alter things for the sake of creativity. This is just the result of a cinematic universe. Marvel is planning projects years down the line and all of it needs to connect seamlessly for it to work. This inherently restricts creativity, and then on top of that it all needs to meet strict deadlines, which doesn't leave much room for making significant changes in the midst of production. This was always going to be the case when Marvel committed to the cinematic universe idea. There's too many cooks in the kitchen, there's too many projects being made at once. It's impossible to create that many genuinely great films, so the result is a couple good ones and a bunch of filler. They should've scrapped the MCU entirely after Endgame but Disney saw too many dollar signs so they've pivoted to a whole new saga that extends the MCU for another decade or so. The quality was already declining toward the end of the Infinity Saga, pretty clear they're just trying to squeeze every last drop out of it at this point.

Yep

I'm old enough to know damn well this didn't start with superheroes. I need y'all young folk to take a step back and look at the Friday the 13th film series and how movies have ALWAYS been in regards to 'make as much vague shit for teenagers as you can afford to make'. Why is it in overdrive now and those movies are the leading box office draws? Because people on the bottom end of the economic spectrum (and teenagers) have a LOT more money to spend now than they did before the 1980s. What they want to see is a much higher contributing factor to what gets produced. You can also blame my generation and Reaganomics for making Ghostbusters, a film for adults, turn into Ghostbusters 2, a film for 9 year olds like me who made studios more money tugging on our parent's pant legs to go see movies than if they had just made those movies for our parents to begin with.

Loved reading this comment! Especially with your Spider-Man profile picture lol! But I agree with you, it's not that we don't want superhero movies, because some of them are great (damn, I just realized I could have mentioned The Boys in this video too and didn't!)! It's the fact that we have slowly pushed any other kind of movie to the side, and the consequences of that are people who just get bored of going to the movies. Glad to see the Philippines are doing it right!

@@chaseazarian oh don't worry, my pfp will change once I have more time for my channel. I can't wait to finish my Elemental video.

Don’t blame the studios. They are after one thing and one thing only. The money! It’s a business, art is incidental. Do you work for free? I’m sure you don’t. Superhero films and franchise films are a guarantee. When they aren’t, Hollywood will look elsewhere. Just look at history instead of agreeing with a you tube influencer who just wants the clicks so he can,wait for it, make MONEY! Yes folks that’s how it works. Sorry to burst your bubble but some of the greatest films were done to make money! I know, I know. It’s horrible but so is listening to dreck like this. I hope some time in the future we can look back and see that the only thing holding ppl back in this time from making great films is bc they were too busy making videos on RU-vid about the state of films.

in terms of superhero movies, i think there should be new innovations and approaches to make it more better and cinema like

​​@@TheBatNick2024 I'm not so sure about superheroes and recognisable IP being all people actually care about, or would go see. There's more to this, like for example cowardly executives, who calculate that green lighting a superhero film will not get them fired, even if it flops hard, because "superheroes are the thing that's IN right now, how could I know ****man XVI would fail???". Furthermore, films are to make money only - is a thing in the US, no doubt, but in other countries there's also public financing options, which do consider other aspects than plain profit when they make their decisions about financing a project. You also have to wonder is it that superheroes and Marvel are things that the audience likes and goes to see because they are far superior than anything else, or has the studio system actually teached them that this is what cinema is for? Would they go and see, and enjoy something else if that something else would be on the menu and people would know about it? I mean if all you ever ate is McDonald's, and you knew of nothing else, then how could you demand for a high quality steak meal for example?

I was one of those hardcore fan but now i get it. Marvel back then had a vision until endgame atleast. But the signs were there which none of us could see where scorcese was absolutely right. Those marvel characters were our friends and we didnt want to turn our backs on them.

I completely agree with you! Post credits scenes were awesome when they got you excited for what was coming next, rather than being the ONLY part of the story that moved things forward. Thank you for the comment!

I was exactly the same. At first I was like: “You’re wrong, but you have your opinion.” But as time’s gone on and as I’ve been expanding my own knowledge of cinema… he’s right. He’s just right.

There was an interview from 2013 where Steven Spielberg and George Lucas said that at a certain point, films that weren’t designed to be blockbuster movies would go to streaming, and perhaps be greenlit as streaming series, with theaters playing only large franchise films. And ten years later, I’d say we are starting to see at least part of what they were describing.

​@@fortynights1513How?

in terms of superhero movies, i think there should be new innovations and approaches to make it more better and cinema like. Personally despite not everyone like Joker or the Batman it kinda revolutionized Comic book movies IMO. It Used the character IP to bring it to different directions, while yes joker is practically a rip off of taxi driver and king of comedy, for once the comic book movie genre wasn't all about big super hero battles rather it explores more themes and characterization. Which i think comic book movies really need to have right now. Personally I was fond of a "separate unconnected Universe" that todd Philipps proposed when the joker was first released. He Mentioned DC Black, which is also a separate comic book line in DC, difference is it tackled more mature themes and would be more kinda through provoking than let say mainstream stories. I was on board, because Idk why but WB doesn't seem to see the potential of it. Like It is clear as day that WB cannot handle a cinematic universe, Marvel has different circumstances and advantages that allowed itself to make a coherent cinematic universe while WB doesn't, well they are starting to do it now however I'm still skeptical. I Really disliked the fact that WB tried to copy the MCU even it tone. By being a darker and more gritty tone DC would have actually been more unique rather than just some copy cat. Plus The advantage of making loosely connected character studies off of popular and not so popular IPs would allow them to experiment more and innovate. Joker budget was 150 Million which is not that high compared to the bigger projects if it did not make big it wouldn't have been much of a Loss for WB and they could just drop everything and focus on another project. But it did go big it made a billion. Unlike focusing on a connected universe if one big project fails its back to the drawing board for them. I seriously hope they give some importance to this black label concept todd Philipps made. It really has great potential even to include some of their not so popular projects like maybe some stories from vertigo etc. Or they could use some IPs and remake them to however they wish.

I@@jmgonzales7701 I read and agree with all of what you said.

Both of you nail my exact thoughts! I want great superhero movies just as much as the biggest comic book fan out there, but I and many other are just tired of buying a ticket to the same endless story over and over again, where it seems like the only scene of the 2 1/2 hour movie that pushes the story forward is the mid credits scene. If they start giving us unique stories that have payoff in each solo entry, I think they can get it back on track. Thank you both for the comments!

I never read comic books growing up but I could only imagine how much more lively the source material is. I wish I loved Everybody Wants Some too, but that will get a second shot from me some day too! I'm just super biased with Dazed and Confused being my favorite movie lol!

@@chaseazarian I personally love Andrew Garfield's performace in that film. I also have a major apprecaition for moments in history that you don't get much in the history books. I didn't know a single think about fuedal Japan at this point so it was very interesting to learn about their attidute during the age of exploration. There is no reason to pit Dazed and Everybody against one another they are each perfect in their own ways. I am a bit more partial to Everybody Wants Some!! because it's about the 80s and also the first day of that film takes place on my birthday exactly one year before I was born so I kinda have a connection with it. Plus...I love Finn in that movie.

I don’t think using Civil War as cite of comparison is a good way to change MCU fans minds seeing how the source material is a very decisive work whose main point of conflict isn’t very clear as to what it is supposed to be and fail at making it a nuance hero vs. hero conflict compare to the movies (seriously, Iron Man is a lot more sympathetic in the films than he was in the comics despite being the “right” side).

If you write stuff like this you should not cite Civil War as an Example. That Comic was bad and the movie was story-wise a lot better. In the movie they managed to have both sides have some good arguments . In the comic the pro-reg side got out of control quickly and got into throw them all into the negative zone mode and think having people like Bullseye on your side would not be a problem. And that is not even talking about Clone-Thor. The only thing this comic should be an example of is character assasination.

@@BigK13372 One of the many things the movie got better is that both sides got arguments to back them up. I mean if they had not put Wanda under House arrest Steve would have signed the accord. Compared to the comic that painted the pro reg side not in a flattering light.

Much of Marvels catalogue has become just glorified sitcoms all with very similar plots so none of it feels original or unique and all of it is lacking in depth. Lot of ok movies that are enjoyable enough to watch once but almost none of it will be remembered 10+ years from now. Unlike a lot of the really great superhero films like The Dark Knight or Logan which people will remember for generations because they have compelling narratives, more memorable characters, and exceptional storytelling. I don't think it's a coincidence that non-MCU films tend to be the best superhero movies. The MCU is basically designed to eliminate the creative process in favor of more efficiently producing films. Great for quantity, but it hurts the quality. And you get a dozen or more films within a short period of time but only one or two are anything that really sticks with you.

I didn't particularly like EEAAO but I was rooting for it to win awards because I knew that it would be a symbolic win for original IP. It further sent a message to studio execs that not everything needs to be a reboot or a sequel to succeed. Scorcese's argument is about how the massive success of Marvel was breeding a hollywood culture in which a business strategy built around BIG IP was sucking all of the oxygen out of the run. Success for films like EEAAO, Oppenheimer, Nope, and Barbie - coupled with Marvel's waning success of course, helps bring us closer to more relatively original greenlights.

Appreciate it Brent! Glad you loved it! I think there is just too much competition among the larger films these days, which is why it is important to see something like The Creator in a high format when we get the chance to. Even though it wasn't one of my favorites of the year, it was just a nice breath of fresh air for me. Thank you for the comment!

Appreciate you as always Will! Even though the few films I have seen from Gray are not my favorite, that Aquaman segment really made me love the guy! I've never seen that audio interview, but I'll have to scour the internet with you to find it! And that's exactly what I mean^. I think a lot of people in the online film community take the access they have to local festivals or indie theaters (countless of them if you are in a place like NYC), that the rest of the country does not have for granted, and if these movies don't make money, why would those small, more remote theaters even consider showing them? It's a bleak situation, but like Tarantino said, I hope the pendulum is inevitably going to swing the other way, and the general public will once again fall in love with the indie movie.

Thank You for the compliment Zaiah! Even though I chose the Scorsese side, I jsut want Marvel and these other franchises to give us better movies, because the fans deserve it! And at the same time, I want these Studios to make more of an effort to get the public excited about smaller, exciting movies that might be a bit different than the status quo. Appreciate you looking at both sides!

@@chaseazarian of course! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the comment Daniel! Even though I made the comment, I agree with you about everything up to Endgame! Even though it was never my favorite, there was always a pretty consistent level of quality. Somebody that didn't like superhero movies probably wouldn't dig many of them, but for fans they KNEW that the MCU would give them something good two or three times a year. With the amount of Disney+ series and movie releases over the past year, it just feels like they stopped prioritizing the quality and instead went into "Let's see how many of these we can crank out" mode, and I have yet to find a fan that prefers the Post-Endgame projects to the Pre-Endgame projects. I appreciate the comment and the healthy discussion man! I think all everybody wants are good movies, whether it's a superhero movie or a gangster flick or a rom com etc. etc., and giving each movie a huge push into the theaters will help everything work itself out.

Joker budget was 150 Million which is not that high compared to the bigger projects if it did not make big it wouldn't have been much of a Loss for WB and they could just drop everything and focus on another project. But it did go big it made a billion. Unlike focusing on a connected universe if one big project fails its back to the drawing board for them. I seriously hope they give some importance to this black label concept todd Philipps made. It really has great potential even to include some of their not so popular projects like maybe some stories from vertigo etc. Or they could use some IPs and remake them to however they wish.

@@jmgonzales7701 Yeah DC and WB’s approach was so crap

They should not have allowed Rise of Skywalker to play in any theaters hahaha! I appreciate the comment!

Let me also say, before pointing the finger at studios (who deserve a large part of the blame), both fans and content creators have also played a role in the current condition of film. We need to consume with more discretion if we want to see change.

@@nlsantiesteban Spot on! Vote with your wallet.

I have the exact same questions as you...

Why couldn't be made today?

I'm sure he would! I think Kubrick goes on the objective Mt. Rushmore

Lol the mcu is trash for kids

2019 was not peak lmao

@@Jarochito- Endgame was released in 2019 that was the peak of MCU

@@sammybosak10 we talking quality or story?

@@Jarochito- Trend wise. Mcu's popularity was at it's peak.

I appreciate that man! I don't want people to stop being a Marvel fan, I just want Marvel to make the BEST movies possible, while also not suffocating out every other kind of film. Love having you in this community and hope I can deliver the best videos possible for you!

@@chaseazarian I totally agree, and don't get me wrong I'm still a Marvel fan, but I guess I just hadn't really gotten Scorsese's point (although I also think he could have worded it in a clearer way). Diversity in film genres and styles is very important

It's never too late DJ! The power is in your hands to change it if that's what you want. Good luck man and hope to see you around!

@@chaseazarian I hope to see you around as well. Maybe one day we can work together or talk movies ☺️

You have to keep searching for inspiration. Even Scorsese said that himself.

Nah they're straight up dog shit served on a platter

lol

​@@udaykiranpanjala2710LOL! Why do you say that the MCU sucks in general?

With the impact this man has made on my life, Marty just rolls off the tongue at this point hahaha! Would be honored to meet Mr. Scorsese one of these days

As they should! I'm loving it too haha! Appreciate the comment Deary!

The absolute truth and Marvel is going down the same toilet as Star Wars and honestly Revenge Of The Sith is a great film and much better than what Star Wars gave is recently

​@@jasongarland3060RoTS is not a great movie. SW nerds just defend it because of the lore...

Thank you for the comment, and thank you for sharing your story! That's the thing I wish every MCU fan agreed on: If we are getting all of these movies, why can't they at least be the BEST possible versions of these movies? Like I hear about some of the things that happen in the comics and say "Man, it would be AWESOME if they did that!", and then it either never happens or we get a lesser version of it. I had a great time with Infinity War, and while not every MCU movie needs to be at that level of scale, it would be awesome if every MCU movie was at least just as exciting.

Explain please

Make what you want to make! Whether it be something completely original or making a superhero film that is fresh in some way, all we want are good stories! Thank you for the comment and good luck!

I will recommend you watch James Cameron's documentaries on his journey to becoming a filmmaker. You will be grateful. It has made me a better writer and filmmaker as I aspire to be. I love Sci-fi and the Black Panther films. I hope to direct my own Black Panther movie as I'm fed up with the way Marvel treats the character. But will start with Sci Fi movies first. My movies are more R rated though. I want to push the envelope in the cinema world.

Elaborate please

Thank you homie! It's never too late to try and make it happen!

Idiocracy can be made, but it's now a documentary.

Technically, they make it every day on the news without even trying!

​@@Squidward_TikilandIdiocracy (2005) was predictive programming.

if his films each made a billion, and marvel films made very little he would not be saying anything. in the 2000s. super films did not make much so guys like Marty were quiet.

@@jameswatson5807 Well yeah that’s the hole point they have gotten so big so big that studios are making less original stuff and pushing others to the sidelines. That’s the problem

@@rupertsmith5815 Dude you only get about 3 marvel films in a year spread out. There are loads of original films, people hate because they are now popular. X men never got hate, because they did not make billions lets be honest.

@@jameswatson5807 Yeah and there are like 4 Disney + series , there are Disney live action remakes, prequels, sequels, remakes, DC, Fast and furious etc For every original film there are like 5 IP films That is what he is saying Talk about missing the point

@@jameswatson5807You forgetting all the other stuff? DC movies & shows, Marvel shows, Movie remakes, etc.

We're out here Cade! Love having you here and I know how it goes, part of the beauty of online film communities is that they are easier to find!

​​@@chaseazarian Unlike most channels that call out the MCU you actually acknowledge they've made really good movies You're just saying that it's getting to the point that they're obsessed with the click farm channels "oh who will show up " or "how this will be similar to end game" narratives and I won't like the "John Reed Richards" reveal was cringe because you know they expected a loud eruption of cheers That gives me lots of respect for you And Tyrone Magnus is a huge reason for all of this too , I'm glad you added him he's a shill , sad because he was a good channel

@@chaseazarian ♥️Thank you.

@@Chuck_EL Thank you for that man! I think there is no pointing in not being rational online anymore, cause too many content creators and consumers are already doing that hahaha. I much prefer the discussion part of all of it. Thank you for the nice comment!

in terms of superhero movies, i think there should be new innovations and approaches to make it more better and cinema like. Personally despite not everyone like Joker or the Batman it kinda revolutionized Comic book movies IMO. It Used the character IP to bring it to different directions, while yes joker is practically a rip off of taxi driver and king of comedy, for once the comic book movie genre wasn't all about big super hero battles rather it explores more themes and characterization. Which i think comic book movies really need to have right now. Personally I was fond of a "separate unconnected Universe" that todd Philipps proposed when the joker was first released. He Mentioned DC Black, which is also a separate comic book line in DC, difference is it tackled more mature themes and would be more kinda through provoking than let say mainstream stories. I was on board, because Idk why but WB doesn't seem to see the potential of it. Like It is clear as day that WB cannot handle a cinematic universe, Marvel has different circumstances and advantages that allowed itself to make a coherent cinematic universe while WB doesn't, well they are starting to do it now however I'm still skeptical. I Really disliked the fact that WB tried to copy the MCU even it tone. By being a darker and more gritty tone DC would have actually been more unique rather than just some copy cat. Plus The advantage of making loosely connected character studies off of popular and not so popular IPs would allow them to experiment more and innovate.
