"80-year-old grandpa who has been slowly ruining the legacy of his filmography" isn't really someone whose political opinions I trust very much. I don't think I'd even trust his memory of last week.

To be fair, I think Scott has always been a bit of an idiot that lucked out with his works. Kind of a film equivalent of Alan Moore, where he doesn't actually understand what made his films as good as they were just like Moore doesn't understand what made his comics good.

The constant director's cuts prove that fairly well.

Blade Runner really is the best example that Scott doesn't understand his own films.

Spending the 80s yakked out of your gourd will do that to you.

Like that Todd Phillips douchebag and Joker (before he created it’s abomination of a sequel)

Potentially. I think Todd understands why people liked Joker, but he didn't like the people that were agreeing with him so he did the sequel out of spite. It's less disconnect with the material and more disconnect with people.
