Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

https://www.cnet.com/g00/news/the-irishman-martin-scorsese-netflix-press-conference/

Scorsese doubles down.

 

The obvious rising up theme. The populism angle when Bane was in charge of Gotham. And the conclusion and contradiction of the "you either die a hero or live to become the villain" concept.

 

Remind me to care later.

 

What are Irishman's powers?

 

Pot of gold generation.

 

alcohol eradication?

 

...and Aniston joins in...

Jennifer Aniston says Marvel's green-screen movie-making is 'diminishing' the film industry

 

I agree about the overly green screen movies, but is marvel really the worst offender?

 

While there is no news coming, here is a list of all Marvel movies, ranked to discuss.

Come on! Scorcese is a legitimate cinematic presence. Aniston? How many s***y RomComs has she done? I would go as far to say that she has never made a movie that has been memorable in a good way.

 

I don't disagree with the overall sentiment, but in fairness I have to say that 'The Iron Giant' and 'Bruce Almighty' rather leap to mind.

And if her point is merely that an over-dependence on green-screen shooting can be detrimental to certain parts of the industry (mostly those most dependent on the building of sets and shooting on location) then it's a fair point.

 

Office Space

 

None of that undermines her point.

 

I guess some people aren't into movies like the Star War's movies.




Ofcourse everyone has their likes and dislikes.

Some people unlike us can't keep track of Star Wars movies or Marvel movie"

"How many have been released? What number are they on? I can't keep track"

They wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Vision and Thanos

"Didn't that purple guy die? Why is he still here?"

 

Her point is bollocks.

 

Phil Tippet had a similar point regarding computers and effects. Perhaps he carries more weight here?

 

I always enjoy watching old movies and seeing something cool and then turning to my friend and saying "holy shit, they actually DID that, that wasn't cgi!"

 

Oh yeah, I can see the complaint about an over reliance on green screen, it has taken away a lot of the really impressive live effects, like you say movies like The NeverEnding Story or the original Star Wars trilogy.

I hate to break it to him, but as long as the MCU movies and movies like them are continuing to fill up theaters, there's no way theater owners are going to stop showing them. If they are going to stop releasing any movies in theaters, it's going to be the kinds of movie people like Scorsese makes.
Honestly, I would have no problem with that happening. Like I said before, I usually go the movies for the spectacle, so if it's just a smaller drama or comedy, I usually just wait for streaming, or a digital rental. Occasionally, if it's something I really want to see, I will go see smaller movies, like the animated Addams Family movie I just saw this weekend, but that is pretty rare for me.
With movies getting more expensive, I'm only going to go when the experience in the theater is going to be better than watching it on a TV. I find with smaller movies like the kind Scoreses makes, the experience at home is just as enjoyable as the theater, but for the big spectacle movie, the big actions scenes really are a lot more impressive at the theater.

 

AMC theaters are $5 on Tuesdays. There are discounts all over the internet for other chains...

 

In the article it says that Scorsese wasn't able to get the money he needed to make The Irishman until he made the deal with Netflix, so yes, I believe you're right. And I think that's exactly why he made the comment he did about Marvel movies, because he's frustrated with the lack of backing he's getting compared to the blockbusters.
