I hear ya. But that being said, no one questions Scorsese's talent. I could definitely question the talent of the Russo brothers, for example, as well as other directors of movies in the Marvel-verse.
If one doesn't care about that, then cool. But I don't think books are the only way one can convey, or receive, a "serious message." Reading a book doesn't automatically make one more intellectual or "more serious" than someone who prefers to watch a movie. I love reading... I read probably two hours every day... but I also love movies, and plenty of movies convey very serious messages.
I hear what you're saying though.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
