There have always been people who will tell you that arty things are stupid, that liking them is pretentious, and that preferring arty things to mass-market entertainment is a symptom of elitism. The thing that’s new about MCU Twitter’s reaction to Scorsese’s statement is that the people making these arguments against the supposed privileging of a certain type of arty thing are doing it without rejecting the notion that movies should aspire to fulfill an audience’s need for profundity. They’re just arguing that we can and should look to corporate superhero movies to provide it.
