Think I can solve this debate.

No viewer has ever cried when a character sacrificed themselves in a Martin Scorsese film. (*mic drop*)

Sounds like the same argument that a comic book will never be treated as true literature like a book. An argument often made by people who have never read a graphic novel. I also wanted clarification from him that he was genuinely only meaning Marvel films, or superhero films in general. Because the Dark Knight does plenty of the explorations into the human psyche that he talks about.

I wouldn’t necessarily laud Wes Anderson for creating something new with every film. His movies fall closer to the “sameness” description he applied to Hitchcock. I like Wes Anderson but he re-uses his Hal Ashby framing, costume design and character quirks all the time. Which isn’t a bad thing but maybe is not the best example if you want to counterpoint it to the lack of variety over at Marvel.

But Marty clearly seems to be an Aster acolyte: the guy made two films and already resides in Marty’s pantheon of great filmmakers.

I’m a Marvel fan…I love the Marvel movies. This has a lot to do with the fact that I grew up reading Marvel comics. But he has a point. Can’t we just have both? You’re right though Sean, it’s sad that he had to clarify a perfectly obvious and reasonable opinion.
