Marvel Fans React To Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’
In a controversial opinion piece penned for The New York Times, acclaimed film director Martin Scorcese argued that Marvel movies cannot be classified as cinema. The Onion asked fans of the action movie franchise what they thought of Scorcese’s latest film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, and this is wh...
“Rooting for the Osage would be much easier if they had a hero on their side like Captain America.”
There is such an elegance to The Onion's satire hahaha.
My favorite part was when DiCaprio's character said "So, that's it? We're some kinda Killers of the Flower Moon?" Then the entire audience cheered.
“It’s mooning time!”
Flower flower mooning time
Flower Moons? Assemble!
Read the headline and almost ate the onion.

It's an onion article...
I like onions.
And the winner of today's WOOSH Award is... @nostradiel@lemmy.world! Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Do you like onions? How bout them onions?
It's so obviously satire. I wonder about people like you. Inability to detect satire is a sign of sociopathic tendencies.
Nevermind the "marvel fans" (I didn't even know that there were some left, but ok, there are trump voters left, so...) but this could be very marvel-like. Copy paste Scorsese instead of marvel shit. I mean every time the same actors, all have one face for all their roles, sorry is different though, however in the core mostly the same. Won't watch it 10/10. Last Scorsese I watched was the Irishman and boy, what a waste of time that was. When things are a bit better than the absolute worst doesn't make them good. If you got time on your hands while not-watching movies: the world is full of great graphic novels, I recommend "megalex", everything connected to the incal, Fred Beltran's work and start to explore from there. Beats movies made after 2018 anytime.
Is this the best you can do?
First off, it's The Onion. It's satire. Would your reaction have been as crybaby-ish and prejudiced if it came from, say, Mad Magazine?
Secondly, I'm not even going to get into defending Scorsese's body of work nor his achievements in the motion picture arts. I'm going to talk slow and use small words so you can follow along, Mr Comic Book Man.

2023 - Killers of the Flower MoonI've left out exactly five movies of Scorsese's oeuvre…oops…filmography. The unwashed masses, you included, tend to remember only those. I'll admit De Niro's presence definitely "colors" a film regardless of his role and I'd go as far as to accuse De Niro more than what with you charge Scorsese. So, Mr. "the world is full of great graphic novels" -- which is how fully-grown, emotionally-stunted adults call (and justify) comic books -- go jump in the East River.

is being able to smell you through my phone part of a bit or do you actually talk like this
To be fair, everything after 1999 is a DiCaprio movie. Hehe. But he's one of the most talented actors in Hollywood, of course a legendary director is going to prefer him.
I won't be as crude as the guy you are responding to and deny Scorcese's achievements. But we can all admit that he was taking the piss a little bit with the Irishman. Its a movie in the MCU - the martin cinematic universe. He gathers his avengers (De Niro, Pesci, Keitel) for an ensemble film within the Gangster oeuvre. He defends this by insisting that he went through the motions of "establishing" an "emotional core" or whatever. But at the end of the day, it's De Niro saying "c'mere, whassamatta" again. Brought to you by special effects.
I personally think that there is nothing wrong with this, and Scorcese is a very saavy movie promoter to juxtapose how he makes films against the marvel method. But I do think that Marty is taking the piss just a little, even if it is in a pretty fun way.
