Not when different people have read different story runs of the character, Obviously it won't be 100% accurate to most people.
Originally posted by KazenjiThe lack of faithful adaptations or pseudo faithful adaptations is part of the banality of most Marvel and DC films and story arcs. Titans, The Boys and Doom patrol show TV works better.

Most work better as a tv show, Problem with doing them as a movie gotta think up a story that fits within the 2 hour timeframe.
Originally posted by KazenjiOr do the arc as a number of movies, remember the shared universies are sort of doing this, just less coherently than shows or comics because apart from Cap they did not interlinked the individual franchise story like comics do. GotG to a point also did this.

Surtur doesn't really give a shit about the MCU though.
And he's right, at least in the sense that the "MCU isn't cinema" stance is just a whiny old man being a whiny old man. I agree with a lot of what Scorsese is saying about the MCU's content, but I'm not so much of a butt pirate I don't think they're cinema.

Boom. I give two shits about the MCU, they do produce some entertaining movies but it's not enough to give me a creepy loyalty to them.
I just think Martin sounds like a bitter old man.

That's basically how I feel, except they've also made some utter shit, like Captain Marvel. Of course, no one except quanch gives them creepy loyalty. lol

I'm just saying it's idiotic to write off such an accomplished filmmaker's opinion as just a "whiny bi#ch of an old man" (in your beautifully eloquent words). Obviously he cares about the integrity of film as an artform and not just a themepark machine for sucking money out of teens and fanboys. He probably would have felt the same way in his 30s, so being in his 70s likely has nothing to do with it. I think he could have qualified his statement a little bit more (for example it's obviously still cinema, just kitsch), but it is just a short blurb.
So yeah, you don't have to agree with him, but he has a point. A very good point.
