Martin Scorsese has no idea about Marvel superheroes

Martin Scorsese has no idea which superheroes populate the Marvel Cinematic Universe because he has no interest in the comic book genres at all.
The legendary filmmaker caused a stir last year with his criticism of Marvel movies, claiming that they were "not cinema" and likening them to theme park rides.
However, Scorsese has now clarified that his comments were directed at all superhero films, as opposed to just Marvel.
In a directors round table with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: "I said superhero films, I never - I don't even know Marvel. I remember Marvel was a comic book."
The 77-year-old director - whose filmography includes Mafia dramas 'The Irishman', 'Casino' and 'Goodfellas' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and 'Taxi Driver' - also clarified his "theme park" comment, suggesting that studios have wanted films to become as important as Disneyland in American culture.
He explained: "I remember when Disneyland was built, I'm that ancient. One of the aspirations of the studios was to become as important in a sense to American culture as Disneyland."
Scorsese was joined at the event by 'Joker' director Todd Phillips, who recently supported the Oscar winner over his criticism of the MCU.
Discussing the reaction from executives at Warner Bros. when he pitched his psychologically dark origin story for the DC Comics villain, Phillips says their first concern was for the child-friendly merchandise they sell thanks to their partnership with DC.
Phillips said: "Marty got a lot of heat for (what he said), but I understand it fully. We were struggling to get 'Joker' made, which sounds funny because it exists in the superhero world, but it's not really one of those movies.
"We spent a year at Warner Bros., and I saw emails back and forth, literally, where they said, 'Does he realize we sell Joker pajamas at Target?' I go, 'Didn't movies come first and pajamas come second? Are the pajamas dictating the movies?'
"Theme park rides. Pajamas. Slurpee cups. Whatever it is you are selling off the back of movies, you can't make your decisions based on that."

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

Q: What's it like growing up in Mpls? Does the city have interesting stories about Prince? A: I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it. Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis. I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis. Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows. Prince put us on the map for music. I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota. I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories. I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

Den Edie Flyah interveiw So could you tell us a little bit about your upbringing in Ohio? I was sent to guitar leasons by my parents when I was 10 years old. My uncle lived with us back in Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement. I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously? When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.) It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do. To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song. I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood. Being a Singer
