It wasn’t about him being right, but more about him having a different definition of “cinema”, and that’s fine. He compared the movies to amusement parks, and how it’s still a good thing. He’s from a different era and that’s about all there is to say about it, because it explains it all.
By "he", you mean Scorsese or the Thomas Flight (the guy commentating) in the video?
And if that's case, Scorsese could have been less standoff and sound less upset about it. I would not consider every MCU movie comparable to an amusement park. Like I said before, Scorsese backpedaled hard on this after getting so much backlash. Calling all the MCU movies amusement parks, is the equivalent of downplaying the positivity and good they accomplished.
Scorsese, saying they are their own new art form, but different from the movies he grew up with and therefore identifies with as a cinematic experience.
He’s of the old guard and won’t sugar coat his opinion. His backpedaling was likely a response to people taking offense to it, but he should’ve seen it coming.
They're all cinematic experiences, regardless. All he is doing is splitting hairs and make separate categories out of arbitrary reasons.
I noticed. He's still spoke with some resentment with his tone. You're not the top dog anymore; big fucking deal. You still get money, accolades, and credit for your hard work. Let others grow and have the spotlight.
I know. The writing was pretty much all over the wall, the outside of the house, and on the drive way.
The man knew better with that age and experience.
People praise it for the power system, which man I totally do not get. Maybe I'm just the dumbass here, but I really can't appreciate Nen.
Nen is the most bullshit power system next to Akame Ga Kill's "trump card"! People harped on Shaman King's Foryoku power system, but at least it made sense and is straight forward, even though it was cribbing DBZ. But similar to DBZ, death has no consequences in the original manga of SK, and I am assuming the second anime adaption.
And people said Afro Samurai has bad world building. There's two head bands: #1 and #2. Does not get more simpler than that. I find it funny Kill La Kill has better understanding of world building and power levels (than again, power levels weren't the main focus) than HxH.
By HxH case, do you mean the yaoi fan girls? Because there were plenty of those during the early 2000s on DeviantArt. Simps can work sparingly, but become a complete annoyance when they take over, or become the core audience. See the Fate series, and how it became all about the waifus and Saber clones in most of the later spin-offs.
Indeed, I too think the film with Richard Chamberlain is the best one

Hmm, I don't recall mieks gender ever being brought up in the movie, but then again I don't remember meek having a gender in the comics either. It was always a bug that talked in the third person.
