Gangster films, Musicals, Spectacle Films like Irwin Allen Films or the MCU, Comedies, Dramas, War Films, Cowboy Films are all Cinema and to debate otherwise shows a lack of knowledge of Directing, Writing, Filming, Lightning, Editing, Music, Sound, and all the other work that goes into making a film.
As for Directors coming out against the MCU well even Legends eventually can become out of touch old men wanting the kids off their lawn.
Disney is the king of wanting the kids off their lawn. But rather than whine about it, they actually have the capital to go buy the lawn, put a big wall around it, bribe the police to keep the kids well away and still have money and influence left to curry favor with the people who vote for "best lawn of the year."
In this thread people have journeyed back and forth between "Scorcese is the establishment" and "He's just an irrelevant old man" and it is hilarious. Sort of reminiscent of Ulysses Everett McGill in Oh Brother Where Art Thou:
Ulysses Everett McGill : I don't know Delmar. The blind are reputed to possess sensitivities compensating for their lack of sight, even to the point of developing paranormal psychic powers. Now, clearly seeing into the future would fall into neatly into that category; its not so surprising then that an organism deprived of its earthly vision...
Pete : He said we wouldn't get get it. He said we wouldn't get the treasure we seek on account of our ob-stac-les.
Ulysses Everett McGill : Well what the hell does he know, he's just an ignorant old man!!!
