The gist isn't the line that you are focusing on. Scorsese loves movies that expand the mind and enrich the spirit. Irrespective of where the line is drawn (losing sight of the forest by focusing on a tree), he thinks that the Marvel movies aren't trying and are playing it safe. He says that that is fine but that their massive success is crowding out movies that could potentially expand the mind and enrich the spirit from getting made or being seen. He didn't bring up that they were based on comics (that's a straw man argument).
