Remember a while back when Martin Scorsese thought that directing a handful of the most highly regarded films of all time entitled him to voice his opinion on Marvel movies? Of course you do! You were so angry when he called Marvel movies “Fun, but not necessarily cinema” you practically ground your own teeth into powder! But if you’ve seen the veteran filmmaker today, you might just change your tune.
That’s right, simp Twitter has done a full heel turn on Scorsese after he posted a photo of his new, totally ripped body with the caption “Steve Rodgers eat your heart out.”
It looks like the legendary director has learned his lesson. You don’t get to have opinions about an art form just because you’ve been one of its chief vanguards for almost 50 years. You get to have opinions by getting jacked as fuck and claiming to have done it without steroids.
