Guillermo del Toro defends Martin Scorsese Over an Article Written by (probable) Marvel Fanboy

[lovelylaura23]

I very, very seldom post anything contradictory here- but- the amount of misconceptions, sloppy innacuracies and hostile adjectives not backed by an actual rationale is offensive, cruel and ill-intentioned. This article baited them traffic, but at what cost? https://t.co/YEwTi46A2O

i attempted to read that article the other day and barely made it past the headline it was such a fucking mess lmao. the shit he said about raging bull… laughable!

[veritas_44]

Does anyone but film twitter actually care about any of this?

[januarysix]

Does Martin Scorsese even need defending?

[thatgum_youlike]

i'm sure he couldn't care less about any of this lol

Yeah, I thought the original article was dumb, but it's like...on this non well-recognized not many people are probably going to read anyways, much less take seriously.

Casino (1995) and The Irishman (2019) contain broadly the same milieu, set pieces and morality lessons. Scorsese is simply moving the furniture around. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that he, in another act of laziness, uses the same actors over and over: seeing Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel in a Scorsese mobster movie for the umpteenth time makes for a bizarre feeling of déjà vu-cum-musical chairs.

I love Casino

[therearewords]

No other director EVER used the same set of actors! And definitely not in the MCU!

Imagine using this argument and then defending Marvel. Cognitive dissonance hunny.

I really like superhero movies, but these last Marvel movies feel so small, even though they're supposed to happen in space. Like, the Thor: L&T movie, I just kept thinking "this is a set, and the blue/green screen started here and there." The CGI wasn't the best. Same with Dr. Strange.

I watched "Dune" a few weeks ago, and even though they relied on SFX a lot, it wasn't distracting at all.

Marvel/DC really needs up their game.

Marvel needs to pay their sfx artists better and treat them like humans. That will probably help.

[yussamahal]

I agree.

And not rush things. Like they want stuff that take 6 weeks to do to be done in 2. Mostly because they don't want to pay for 6 weeks of work.
