Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’
sirdorius@programming.dev 9 months agoYou are assuming that if Marvel movies didn’t exist everyone would just go see Requiem for a Dream instead, which is just silly. They target different audiences and the same people could choose to see one today and another tomorrow. It’s not like Oppenheimer was made by a bunch of indies scraping money on Kickstarter.

I’m not assuming anything like that. That’s you putting your ridiculous dichotomic outlook of any subject into someone else’s mouth. There’s a good chance if Requiem for a Dream required a 2023 movie budget, it wouldn’t have even been made. An unknown director/writer with a 2023 budget with a movie like that? Ha. There would have been no option to see that the next day. Also, are you comparing Requiem for a Dream to Oppenheimer?
