When Russo was directing Community episodes with his brother, they were talented and creative. Marvel is such low-quality repetitive content it's a waste of talent, and now has him complacent and proud of the film equivalent of the COD franchise.

This is like someone saying that an auto-tuned pop song is a greater piece of art than Beethoven, just because there is greater mass appeal. Or that Hana Montana was a higher quality show than The Wire, because it had more viewers.

Focusing on profits just shows that Russo has lost touch with cinema as an art form and is rationalizing away his selling out, while just strengthening Scorsese's argument.

Edit: Just realized what community this is. I'm sure my opinion will be unpopular here haha.

You guys take things way too seriously. He's just poking fun with a light hearted clapback. A silly joke means he's lost touch with cinema as an art form? Don't people know how to take things in stride anymore?

People taking things the wrong way and turning everything into an argument has always been a thing, though it feels approximately 1000000000000 times worse in just the last few years.

It's why I rarely commented on Reddit. People seemed to take the worst interpretaton of everything you say and want to argue about everything. It's so tired.
