I revere Martin Scorsese, but I disagree with him about this. Yes, I bitterly regret the way mainstream Hollywood has tried to leap on the MCU bandwagon and the way it is presently obsessed with endless legacy sequels and so on, but it's important to remember that there are some genuinely terrific Marvel films. In much the same way, Spielberg and Lucas were blamed for the "juvenilisation" of cinema in the 1970s/80s (I think it was Peter Bogdanovich who coined that phrase) when Jaws and Star Wars pretty much invented the summer blockbuster, but it wasn't their fault everyone else made second-rate copies of their excellent work.

Whenever mainstream Hollywood depresses me with its current creative inertia, I take solace in the fact that elsewhere in the world, cinema remains as creative, entertaining, vibrant, incisive, and challenging as ever. For example Korean cinema, Japanese cinema, European and British cinema, the American independent scene, etc.
