Martin Scorsese’s Daughter Trolled Him On Christmas With Marvel Wrapping Paper

When Martin Scorsese went to bed on Christmas Eve, his greatest wish might have been to wake up Christmas morning and see that Santa had stuffed a note in his stocking that read: “Dear Marty, I used magic to make an alternate universe in which Marvel movies don’t exist. Merry Christmas.” And then Martin would have looked up at the sky with a tear in his eye, and whispered, “Atta boy, Santa.” It would’ve been a wonderful life. But Martin is no George Bailey, and instead, his daughter used Marvel to troll him on Christmas morning.

In October, Martin said that Marvel movies were just two hour-long theme park rides. He later doubled down and said they’re fine for people who “enjoy that sort of thing”. Most recently, he tried to further explain himself by arguing that he’s old, he’s from a different generation, but that he also thinks people only really like superhero movies because they don’t really have any other options.

For Christmas, Martin’s 20-year-old daughter Francesca Scorsese wrapped all his presents in paper covered with Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Because Francesca clearly wanted to see her dad turn into The Hulk.

Martin has said that Marvel movies lack “mystery.” Well, there was no mystery in Francesca’s gift giving. It’s pretty clear she wanted to give her dad the kind of gifts that would guarantee a Christmas morning eye-roll.

Francesca didn’t say what was inside her gifts. But I feel like Francesca is probably smart enough to know to end her joke at the wrapping. For example, Francesca could have kept the troll going by gifting her dad a custom-made hoodie featuring a de-aged Robert De Niro hanging upside-down from a web with the words The Spiderman. But that would be just mean. And quite frankly, it might possibly be the kind of thing she’d regret later in life. One day, Francesca might find herself with a flooded apartment. And when she calls her dad for help, he might answer, “Sure thing honey. I’ve got a hoodie you can use to mop up the water.”
