Is this the best you can do?

First off, it’s The Onion. It’s satire. Would your reaction have been as crybaby-ish and prejudiced if it came from, say, Mad Magazine?

Secondly, I’m not even going to get into defending Scorsese’s body of work nor his achievements in the motion picture arts. I’m going to talk slow and use small words so you can follow along, Mr Comic Book Man.

Copy paste Scorsese instead of marvel shit. I mean every time the same actors, all have one face for all their roles…however in the core mostly the same.…Last Scorsese I watched was the Irishman and boy, what a waste of time that was.

1967 - Who’s That Knocking at My Door
1972 - Boxcar Bertha
1974 - Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
1977 - New York, New York
1982 - The King of Comedy
1985 - After Hours
1986 - The Color of Money1988 - The Last Temptation of Christ
1989 - New York Stories: Life Lessons
1991 - Cape Fear
1993 - The Age of Innocence
1997 - Kundun
1999 - Bringing Out the Dead
2002 - Gangs of New York
2004 - The Aviator
2010 - Shutter Island
2011 - Hugo
2013 - The Wolf of Wall Street
2016 - Silence
2023 - Killers of the Flower Moon

I’ve left out exactly five movies of Scorsese’s oeuvre…oops…filmography. The unwashed masses, you included, tend to remember only those. I’ll admit De Niro’s presence definitely “colors” a film regardless of his role and I’d go as far as to accuse De Niro more than what with you charge Scorsese. So, Mr. “the world is full of great graphic novels” – which is how fully-grown, emotionally-stunted adults call (and justify) comic books – go jump in the East River.
