Feige deserves more respect than that after he successfully helped usher […]

Martin Scorsese has published a piece in the New York Times addressing his recent criticism of Marvel movies. It all started last month when the legendary director did an interview with Empire in which he said Marvel movies weren’t cinema. “I tried, you know?
