All it took was one soundbite for Martin Scorsese laying the groundwork.
It’s entirely okay for an 80 year-old man to hold a grudge against expensive blockbusters solidifying franchise fare as the industry’s go-to model at the expense of smaller and more character-driven projects, but it’s also worth ing that the legendary director’s latest carries an MCU-sized budget of $200 million.
As you’d expect given its status as a brand new Scorsese picture, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The ratings are a lot more comparable than you might think, too, seeing as 129 critics have weighed in with their thoughts on the Leonardo DiCaprio-fronted epic so far. Across its seven seasons of beloved content, the adventures of Agent Coulson and the gang were judged by 205 critics to secure such a high average, even if you’d imagine the overlap between the two isn’t all that great.
It’s not even cinema or franchise canon, either, which makes it all the more ironic.
