Marty’s not feeling very Marvel-ous.

In a new interview with Empire, Martin Scorsese addressed the zeitgeist-dominating influence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To put it mildly, he finds them … wanting.

“I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema,” Scorsese told the magazine. “Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”
