Well, lo and behold, in his first public comments about the debate, here comes Feige earlier this evening telling THR’s Scott Feinberg that “Everybody has a different definition of art.” Feige was asked about the notion that superhero movies are a negative for cinema, but he pushed back on that theory, saying “I think that’s not true. I think it’s unfortunate. I think myself and everyone who works on these movies loves cinema, loves movies, loves going to the movies, loves to watch a communal experience in a movie theater full of people.” One of Scorsese’s qualms about the MCU was how they barely took risks and have conventional narratives, Feige disagrees with that assessment by giving a few examples such as Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War”: “We did Civil War. We had our two most popular characters get into a very serious theological and physical altercation,” Feige says. “We killed half of our characters at the end of a movie [Avengers: Infinity War]. I think it’s fun for us to take our success and use it to take risks and go in different places.” Didn’t most of the characters who were “killed” off at the end of “Infinity War” get revived in “Endgame”? You can’t really say that you axed half the characters at the end of a movie when they weren’t really “dead.” If that’s the argument Feige wants to take to the bank with him then it’s the wrong hill to die on. Ditto “Civil War” having theological altercations? Whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean. Contribute Hire me
