haha, thing is they are right. Marvel films now the novelty has warn off are shite. They are not as good as the comics. .

Then stop expecting them to be

i treat the MCU as another universe, No different to what we got from Marvel with the Ultimate comics line with it's different take on character's.

Ah "not as good as the comics". The new "book was bettah than the movie".

I prefer cartoons to both.

Still theres nothing quite like the spectacle of seeing all that stuff in live action and on a big screen.

And at least I get to talk to any and all of my friends/family about the movies. Not so much when it comes to the comics.

I agree that it is a ridiculous standard inflict on filmmakers: to expect them to create film adaptations which equal the storytelling quality of their literary source material.

Spoiler:
even though scorcese and coppola have repeatedly accomplished just that

Your opinion has been noted.

I overall disagree, even though I'd not compare the story quality of a film like GoTG to his The Departed, they're both great films, but for different reasons and "cinema" is a very broad thing.

By his standards, I bet that's high praise, compared to everything else out there.

Imagine what he'd say about the post Disney Star Wars franchise.

The best films (no matter what genre: sci-fi, drama, action/adventure, etc) do incorporate real humanity in them, so completely disregarding a whole sub-genre seems a little extreme and close-minded, but I imagine he's speaking more out of irritation that comic book films have basically taken over the market and smaller, more human films get buried and obscured.

Reminds me of how I view the paperback market regarding scifi. Walk into a bookstore (those that are left), go to the scifi section, and "90%" of what's considered scifi is space opera, and "90%" of that is Star Trek or Star Wars. There seems to be little room/tolerance for much else.

Profit molds art and literature. Perhaps it always did.

Must remember to ask Impediment how accurate the correctional guard scenes were.

Him having experience in that area.

Sometimes films do exceed the books, but it is rare.

Jaws is a Good Example of this.

👆 people acting all emotional over Tony’s death was just crocodile tears as far as I’m concerned. Yondus death meant more to me.

Tony's death was comparatively hollow.
