Marvel's Kevin Feige offers predictable defense of the artistic merit of superhero movies

Hold on to your butts, everybody: The guy who makes all the Marvel movies has rejected Martin Scorsese’s argument that Marvel movies aren’t “cinema.” That’s right, we almost went a whole week without having to start this whole thing up again, but now here we are and it’s super fun! This comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which sat down with Marvel Studios boss (and newly ordained Chief Creative Officer of Marvel) Kevin Feige and got him to weigh in on one of the most iconic filmmakers of all time writing an op-ed for the New York Times about how his movies aren’t good because they don’t involve any creative risks. Weirdly, though, Feige defense of the entire past decade of his career is somewhat passionless, with him telling THR that it’s “unfortunate” that Scorsese feels the way he does, because he and everyone else who works on this stuff “loves cinema” and “loves movies.”
