Man,Martin Scorsesesure has gotten a lot of mileage out of his Marvel movies comments, hasn’t he? What originally began as a rather casual claim thatthe MCU isn’t “cinema"has now morphed into a series of talking pointscomparing superhero movies to amusement parks, plus the bizarre assertion that these flicks are somehow “invading” pure and unadulterated cinema.
