Why does he care? Marvel movies are about entertainment. They're not deep by any means. They're filled with the artwork of hundreds, but it's not really art. Most will be forgotten due to the quantity put out. Super Hero movies are generally more about selling toys and tickets. Scorsese tends to make dramatic films with deep themes, character introspectives, and challenges to social perspectives on contrary figures. They tend to be snibbits of an era that age well.

James Gunn should be happy Scorsese watches his films. Super Hero movies are entertainment. But, they're not much more than a Friday the 13th sequel. Fun, but easy to forget.
