Martin Scorsese and company never said superhero films shouldn't exist, they just made the claim they weren't cinema. This sentiment isn't new, but recently a lot of MCU fans have convinced themselves, coming off the high of Endgame, that, yes, the MCU is a cinematic masterpiece and so this statement threw a wrench in their narrative.
