"In what’s sure to ignite yet another round of sniping, director Francis Ford Coppola has added his distinguished voice to that of fellow director Martin Scorsese in denouncing Marvel’s slate of superhero films.
Coppola was in Lyon, France to receive the Prix Lumiere for his contributions to cinema. In a press conference, he chose to back Scorsese, who said the films were “not cinema” and likened them to “theme parks.” The remarks set off the online community into a furious debate.
Coppola agreed with Scorsese.
“When Martin Scorsese says that the Marvel pictures are not cinema, he’s right, because we expect to learn something from cinema, we expect to gain something, some enlightenment, some knowledge, some inspiration. I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again. Martin was kind when he said it’s not cinema. He didn’t say it’s despicable, which I just say it is.”
