Who was in the wrong here?

People look at art and read books to be moved as well.

>>82706505

even more so because art and literature is conveying the artists/authors feelings directly to you only one step removed from them sitting down and having a conversation with you personally

meanwhile a movie HAS to take it's technique seriously or it's going to be absolute drivel because there are tens of thousands of people involved in every single aspect of it and is so far removed from the originator of the idea that it couldnt even come to fruitition if it's not disicplined

The original tweet is some pretentious and ignant shit. Books have the capacity to be much more moving.

That's what happens when you let marvel puppets out of their cells

muh emotions

>who's the retard
>look it up, he's a MCU director (dr strange)
What a surprise! This is a picture from Stan Lee’s "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way". Look at it and ask yourself how would the equivalent "How To Makes Movies the Marvel Way" could look like.

Then ask yourself where the current Kevin Feige-produced MCU titles would be, on the left or on the right? Do they offer visual dynamism, creative and exciting use of the medium's possibilities in order to heighten the experience? Personally, when I look at this picture, I can see exciting formalists and pop artists like Orson Welles, Seijun Suzuki or Sergio Leone belonging on the right, or even to stay strictly in the field of current blockbuster filmmakers, people like George Miller, the Wachowski Sisters or Brad Bird but certainly not Peyton Reed or Jon Favreau, with their flat, uninspired televisual (lack of) style.

In an ideal world, comic book adaptations would be pushing the boundaries of audio-visual storytelling, offering a sense of style and playfulness unique to the medium. For all its juvenile flaws, the medium of handdrawn capeshit actually is its own artform and kept reinventing itself.

When you look at revered classics in cinema history, you see filmmakers with sensibilities that aren't that different from comic book artists. Filmmakers who understand the power of imaginative framing and editing, they played with depth, angles or colors schemes, experimented with montage techniques, sound design or lenses.

There's a reason why most of the formalist cinematic geniuses have taken inspirations from the comic books medium. Sergio Leone loved fumetti; Alain Resnais had the biggest comics collection of Europe in the 60's; Welles loved pulp comics and adapted The Shadow when he was still doing radio, Japanese new wave filmmakers adapted various manga and Seijun Suzuki even directed a Lupin III animated film...

All the great Marvel artists would absolutely agree that the MCU is a bland, soulless sham

The original tweet makes no sense, but he later explains that techniques should heighten the film experience, rather than to just show off. It's still a dumb statement to make though.

>>82707064
>Perhaps the die was cast when...

>>82706479
Looking at his filmography I believe he is just saying that because he lacks any technique.

How to pass emotion to your audence if your technique as a director, actor, cameraman etc. sucks dick.

Take this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WPMoVtHSOs

As it is even autistic person understands that she's sad from context - there are two close-ups on clocks, one's with clock showing 8 and the other - 10. She waited 2 hours for somebody to pick her up, nobody showed up. Non-autistic people can see from her face that she's not exactly happy.

Typical blockbuster hack would probably replace this relatively subtle hints which are fitted to the music(the scene was made to fit the music, not the other way round) with pointless exposition dialogue hinting why did she come here, who was she waiting for, how long she's waiting and probably cry on some random mook's shoulder to show that she is really sad. Probably add some shaky cam somewhere.

Leone is heavily overrated but he was wonderful as long as technique went, and you can see it in his movies.

He is overrated. I like his movies but I don't pretend he's some wonderful guy who made gold out of shit.

A lot of people only know him from the Dollars trilogy, Once Upon a Time in the West and America, but please, try watching Fistful of Dynamite(also known as Duck You Sucker! and Once Upon a Time During Revolution) and you'll see all the "elements" he used in his previous movies and yet, the movie is simply bad.

The reason for it is simple - Leone was extremely enthusiastic about the most-known movies of his(when they first got to Monument Valley, he allegedly ran around like crazy from place to place showing where was John Ford filming from in this and this movie) while Duck You Sucker was an afterthought. He didn't have anything interesting to do at the time(tried to find budget for Once Upona a Time in America) so he took it when it was proposed. Without his enthusiasm his work became forced as fuck and resulted in this piece of shit.

Basically only good when his autism designated his movie as the new lego.
