sontoly:In terms of comics and cartoons, DC has better storylines. Try watching a Marvel cartoon (GOTG, Avengers), you'll puke. I mean, even racoon used a cellotape to blindfold almighty Thanos!!!! I have always enjoyed Marvel's Spiderman cos it seem to make sense both in cartoon and movie. What argument next? Those who can lift Thor's Mjolnir and those who cannot? bkool7:To Marvel's credit, I think Spiderman is one of their original character without imitation. The main reason why I think DC lost many followers is due to their movies and the fact that many complained that one of their main franchise - Superman - is overpowered. |

BruncleZuma: Then imagine the ones they are still developing!!! Frankly, I do not even know why DC made a series of their many franchise - Superman (Smallville), Flash, Arrow etc. . . To me, it made it so common and lose that appeal it had unlike Capt. America, Ironman, Hulk etc. |

Marvel always. Creativity. DC lacks creativity, the BVS was excessively long and boring, watched over 2days slept off alot,the thought of batman going against superman is just ridiculous, Also DC lacks the ability to visually portray the capabilities of it heroes, a quick look at quicksilver and flash. Flash on the factsheet and specs is obviously faster than quicksilver but DC cannot portray in its movie. The quicksilver kitchen scene in xmen was very good or the explosion scene in the newest xmen movie,where he saved everybody b4 the impact of the explosion took place,merely looking at that one would think quicksilver is faster. Plothole. Dc is plaqued with plotholes even movie that hav critical acclaim are filled with plotholes. Eg suicide squad- a squad was formed and eventually the main villian was an iniitial member of the squad , in otherwords the whole squad crisis would hav been solved by not forming the squad at all. Wonderwoman was bland , lacked action the last scene with Aries in the airport was horrible. How she morphed and all The whole surrounding changes color obviously CGI and the inspirational speech she was giving while fighting was just wack, it probably sold out because women around the world need a hero to look up to. Flash series is the worst of all stupid plotholes,God!!!! flash apparently grows stronger with encouragement, flash that supposed to be a joyful carefree soul is saddled with sad emotions, What is cisco a physicist? Physician? Chemist? He has solutions to virtually everything they face. Eventually everybody in that movie will be a flash. The movie actually reduces the IQ of its viewers. Please do not watch that series. 2 Likes |

Kingsley121:The truth about it is, when it comes to comics story telling and cartoons, DC beats Marvel hands down. But for movies, Marvel takes the lead. A major reason for DC's set back in the cinema is the constant interference from Warner brothers. Do u know that in the latest Justice League movie, Warner brothers insisted the movie must not go beyond 2hrs so a lot of scenes were cut off, even some of the scenes from the trailers were not there. They also did several reshoots. These all affected the final outcome of the movie. I watched the Justice League movie, it was nice, but could have really been better. Too many missed opportunities to make the movie a blast. Couldn't help the feeling that Aquaman looks just so much like Thor. 4 Likes |

We are talking about Hollywood and cinema. We are also talking blockbusters and directors. DC comics and Marvel comics are two different comic worlds or distinct ecosystems, some prefer apples, so prefer carrots, saying with is better is clearly subjective. Another thing is how many Nigerians actually go to the cinema or pay for content in Nigeria or actually read or buy graphic novels? This goes to the kids who have been coming with cart blanche statements on which of these comic companies is better or which comic book adaption is best. I will consider the avid comic reader and their tastes. Hollywood is running out of ideas. All we keep seeing is reboots and team ups with all major comic heroes crammed onto the screen, avid comic and graphic novel fans are hating the malaise. Deadpool bucked the trend. It was the highest grossing R rated comic book adaptation, it outgrossed the nausea inducing Batman vs Superman and did well at the box office with $782 million. Deadpool was hilarious and gritty, it was adult fun and I adored the sarcasm, innuendos and all pop references or quips especially the gratuitous violence. So the guy who said it was overrated rubbish clearly does know what he is on about. So Marvel wins here just like Kick Ass or Punisher (Netflix), please read the graphic novels, kids commenting like they know about movies and comics just irks me. For me the best graphic novel of all time goes to The Watchmen, Zack Sydner was able to translate it to film which most directors and producers thought would be impossible to shoot or create. The story is complex and the ending is a beauty. Rosarch is the man for me in Watchmen. He was brilliant directing 300 also (another graphic novel). BvsS suffered because of the change in directors. There were huge expectations especially coming on the back of the phenomenal successes of the Batman franchise under Christopher Nolan. For me, Christopher Nolan has had the best run of directing Batman. Sydner came on to direct after Nolan's epic trilogy - Batman Begins, Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises, all my favourite Batman movies which I proudly own on Blu Ray. Nolan drew inspiration from the graphic novels and his interpretations found major appeal with film audiences mostly adults because of the themes explored such as loss, sacrifice, fall from grace, hero worship, chaos theory, evil and injustice etc so for me DC has it here. Han Zimmer produces an amazing score and soundtrack. Those movies will continue to resonate with people for many years to come and the topic explored are still relevant today especially in the US. I thoroughly enjoyed Wonder Woman, the fight choreography and her theme soundtrack is glorious and thumping so DC for me. I suspected Justice League would suffer after the backlash of BvsS, Sydner alienated fans when he decided to cast Ben Affleck as Batman, then the ridiculous story of Martha, Doomsday was a CGI mess and did not look remotely true to the comic. He whopped Superman's arse and killed him in a long battle. The guy who played Lex Luthor was an annoying weasel, his name escapes me(good actor though but crapy portrayal) but he seems to have found his character as his hair was being cropped off in the ending scene. Wonder Woman saved this movie for me. P.S I have tried getting into Preacher(another graphic novel not from DC or Marvel comics) I do not find any of the characters appealing and I watched a few episodes and just lost interest. Honorable mentions - Logan, Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America Winter Soldier, Blade and Blade II, Xmen [/b]and [b]Kingsman - Secret Service. I am looking forward to Black Panther and shall be rocking my 9ja native to the cinema for my favourite African superhero from Wakanda. Joss Whedon seems to have done a good job directing Marvel blockbusters so does Matthew Vaughn for Kick Ass, Kingsman and the Xmen - First Class. So for me both comic houses or studios will continue to fight for screen time and there is no best in the never ending battle of summer blockbusters. 3 Likes |

Re: Marvel Or DC Movies, Which Do You Prefer? by MobilityExpress: 2:02pm On Nov 26, 2017 |
sontoly: Marvel movies right now are far better no doubt, but that’s as best as it gets. But as far as comics and animated cartoons are concerned, till today DC > Marvel. I grew up reading comics and watching loads of hardcore superhero cartoons, not the Tom & Jerry and Sponge Bob types for kids of today ! Let me explain something about Superman to you. In the comic world, Superman holds himself back and uses maybe like 10% of his capabilities when dealing with others in order not to indiscriminately kill anyone and anything in his way with impunity and nobody can bring him to justice. So he always plays cool and limits himself most of the time, always playing Mr Nice Goody-two-shoes. But when you witness the real power of Superman, he’s not just an extraordinary Superhero, he’s almost a god! He killed Darkseid, even Doomsday. In the alternate universe where Superman was evil, only Superman could defeat Superman, nobody else. Superman in his true self has virtually unlimited strength and power, genius intelligence with speed faster than the speed of light - only The Flash in his fastest prime (speed force) can outrun him. In the comic world, Superman bench pressed planets. Do you know the kind of power it takes to bench press one planet alone, talk less of “planets”. Superman lifted Mageddon, which is millions of times heavier than the sun. Another time they tested his strength and he lifted an object that weighed about 200 quintillion tons (= 200 billion billion tons) and he lifted it with only one hand . The evil Superman (aka Ultraman) lifted Book of pages alone, something the good Superman tried to lift and couldn’t. Equal strength, equal abilities but different attitudes, which further proves that Superman (good guy) always holds back. There was a time he got pissed and knocked WonderWoman unconscious with one punch only, the almighty Amazonian Princess . Even Batman always carries Kryptonite with him everywhere he goes just in case Superman ever goes rogue. And Batman is the ultimate standard in the Comicverse. If Batman is afraid of something, then everyone else had better be 1 million times more afraid of that thing because Rule #1 of the Comicverse “BATMAN IS ALWAYS RIGHT”. Rule #2, “The answer is always Batman” This is the most famous quote from Superman: “That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath [*Superman talking about Batman*]. None of my teammates will. Me [Superman talking about himself]? I've [Superman] got a different problem. I [Superman] feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am.” Now see the clip below to see a little glimpse of what happens when Superman doesn’t hold himself back : https://youtube.com/watch?v=zexXH3lS8Uw 1 Like |

Marvel movies are better in terms of plubicity and popularity but DC movies are deeper, darker, realistic and more matured. In marvel it's all about the superheroes saving the world but in DC it's made in a way that portrays how the world will be if superheroes existed, and their different ideologies eg, batman Vs superman . Like in suicide squad some of the viiiains have sad backstories, which shows that sometimes it's situations that makes a person actions good or evil . Besides DC in general terms beats marvel in comic books, video games, TV series etc 4 Likes |

MobilityExpress: You seem fascinated with comics, i know the OP is talking about movies and marvel is the best. Probably superman will do better as a villain than a hero then will Dc mean business. The Irony is that DC cant produce decent movies now cos they so much overpowered their character from superman, wonderwoman and aquaman and DC characters majorly r myths not even realistic. |
