Good news everyone, Martin Scorsese wants to save cinema from evil comic book movies. And he’s going to do that with this three-and-a-half-hour long, straight-to-Apple+ movie about how the Indians were mistreated by white people, titled Killers of the Flower Moon. Yes, you read that correctly. The best way to beat comic book movies in the box office is to make a movie that goes to streaming about something nobody wants to see.

I don’t know if its age creeping up on Scorsese or the fact that he doesn’t know how to use the internet, but comic book movies are doing terrible now in the box office. A couple of years ago, Marvel was making massive profits every time they sneezed in the direction on a movie theater. Now, it’s mostly flops and DC is all flops now.

To compete with massive franchises, Scorsese has to make good movies, but a concept like Killers of the Flower Moon doesn’t seem like it will do well, especially with the actors in it. Leonardo DiCaprio is a climate change liar. His star has massively fallen, and people find his age-gap relationships weird. Robert De Niro can’t stop talking about politics every time he’s in front of a microphone. Lilly Gladstone has made some negative comments about the hit TV show Yellowstone, which isn’t a great start to a relatively unknown career. Combine all these things together and you have the makings for a movie people won’t watch out of spite.
