The man behind Marvel Studios' cinematic universe is weighing in on Martin Scorsese's recent comments about the franchise. The Oscar-winning director wrote an editorial for The New York Times last month, in which he said: 'It isn't the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.' Kevin Feige responded in an interview with Scott Feinberg for the Awards Chatter podcast over the weekend when asked if he thought the series was bad for cinema, saying:  'I think that's not true. I think it's unfortunate.' He then hit back at some of the comments made by Scorsese in that interview.  'I think myself and everyone who works on these movies loves cinema, loves movies, loves going to the movies, loves to watch a communal experience in a movie theater full of people,' stated Feige.
