Taking Hitchcock, for example, his entire oeuvre is widely acknowledged as a huge accomplishment that transformed film and established concepts of suspense in cinematic storytelling, not to mention massive transformations of cinematic technique.
Casablanca and Citizen Kane, among others, are often considered the greatest movies ever made. I’d say those are far greater achievements than the Marvel series, like it though I do.
I'd definitely consider Hitchcock, his career, and his influence, but I don't think I'm really talking about just stacking somebody's entire career. I'm talking about a single project, and the MCU is a single project.
Also I'm not simply talking about the greatest films of all time. Obviously there are greater films so if that was what I meant, I wouldn't be asking. Casablanca is an amazing movie, so is Citizen Kane, but they don't have the scale and sustained level of dedication and vision that it takes to complete a project like the MCU.
