If you’re a critic of the superhero genre — or Marvel movies, in particular — it would seem October is as good of a month as any to voice your distaste. Acclaimed filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola have each spoken out against the blockbuster films, with the latter of two going the length to call Marvel films despicable. “I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again,” Coppola recently told French reporters. “Martin was kind when he said it’s not cinema. He didn’t say it’s despicable, which I just say it is.”

Envious Much?
So Francis Ford Coppola is siding with all the jealous directors that want to trash #Marvel movies. Envious much? Let’s do something, I’ll ban in my household the Scorcese. Cameron and Coppola’s films and I’ll convince my friends to do the same. Jerks! pic.twitter.com/thsMMmzATJ
