One of the comments said they can't get through any Scorsese movies but I can and have enjoyed them too. I also think there's room for superhero movies and enjoy them too.

It's like the poor argument that some people make against Andor saying "it's not Star Wars". Extremely short-sighted in a vast galaxy to explore that can come from different angles. Personally, Andor is the best Star Wars. I don't think it all needs to be like Andor, as there's room for Jedi, Sith and light sabers, but it is a testament to the quality the property can achieve.

I think a lot of the pushback that he's getting from it is mostly to do with the level of snobbery that it was said with.

It's incorrect anyway, because by what metric are movies judged other than revenue? He might as well have said that book adaptations don't count either because they're not original works.

It's just a bizarre thing to have commented on, what was the point? If he makes a movie and it's good, and it's not as if he's bitter because he's made plenty of good movies, people will watch it. There was no reason to have a go at Marvel. If you want crap superhero movies look at DC stuff.
