What's with the recent negative press by Scorsese and Terry Gilliam and the MCU? Scorsese has said that the MCU is nothing more than a theme park and that he didn't get it, or why the films make so much money. To be fair, I don't think Marvel would let Scorsese do the movie his way because they have a certain pattern and rhythm to it, for lack of a better word, formulaic? If Scorsese looked a little deeper, he could see that Tony Stark at least initially was inspired by Howard Hughes, which he made into The Aviator. Terry Gilliam was more blunt saying that BP was crap, and the MCU hogs all the money with no spreading of the wealth for other movies. Francis Ford Coppola made a similar comment, which is ironic considering his nephew Nicolas Cage is a MASSIVE comic book fan. So, I don't get the hate. While Iron Man doesn't compare to Citizen Kane, the movies still have quality production values and acting. And yeah the films make money like gangbusters but....they only release 3 movies a year. Hardly a monopoly.
