Martin Scorsese’s Marvel movie smear continues to reverberate throughout the industry. “The Irishman” director’s latest challenger is prolific television showrunner Damon Lindelof, who is the creator of HBO’s upcoming superhero drama “Watchmen.” Speaking to Variety at the “Watchmen” world premiere, Lindelof said it’s not exactly fair to call all Marvel movies “theme parks,” as Scorsese did in a recent interview with Empire magazine. “I don’t see [Marvel movies],” Scorsese said, “I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema… It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”
Lindelof responded to Scorsese by telling Variety, “There’s a space in Marvel movies that they are beginning to explore and are beginning to be provocative and interesting. ‘Logan’ or ‘Black Panther’ are very close in my opinion to cinema and to put all Marvel movies in the same box doesn’t seem fair.
