When asked what he thought about movies from the Marvel world, here\u2019s what he had to say: \u201cI don\u2019t see them. I tried, you know? But that\u2019s not cinema,\u201d Scorsese<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2019\/film\/news\/martin-scorsese-marvel-theme-parks-1203360075\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>said. \u201cHonestly, 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\u2019t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, upon hearing this, actors from the Marvel were asked to respond. Samuel L. Jackson, who reprises the role of Nick Fury in the Marvel films, was first to share what he thought. In an interview with <i>Variety, <\/i>Jackson said, \u201cI mean that\u2019s like saying Bugs Bunny ain\u2019t funny. Films are films. Everybody doesn\u2019t like his stuff either. Everybody\u2019s got an opinion, so I mean it\u2019s okay. Ain\u2019t going to stop nobody from making movies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, James Gunn, the director of \u2018Guardians of the Galaxy\u2019 expressed his disappointment when he took to Twitter about it how the comments of one of his favourite directors made him feel.<\/p>\n<p>He tweeted, &#8220;Martin Scorsese is one of my 5 favorite living filmmakers. I was outraged when people picketed The Last Temptation of Christ without having seen the film. I\u2019m saddened that he\u2019s now judging my films in the same way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"c5b541d88d911dcbb84397def1a3492d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- 2 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3943282228430444\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5511153269\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Martin Scorsese is one of my 5 favorite living filmmakers.
