So basically by this argument, financial success of any kind would be a bane rather a boon for the lasting legacy of the films involved, yes? And said movies have no merit whatsoever due to the aforementioned commercial success, I suppose?

If you want to figure out what the guy meant you might start with what he actually said.

The bottom line is that they are releasing films that no one is and generally these films are of a better overall quality than most of the junk the major studios are putting out.

That's obviously subjective but it's a pretty defensible claim. Most of what major studios put out
is pretty ordinary. At best. That's true now, it's pretty much always been true. We could quibble about the word junk but the point would still stand.
And if people do forget about TDK, Inception or TCCoBB it won't be because they were commecially successful, it will be because at their heart they're ordinary movies in a sea of ordinary movies.
