Darros Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) So out of the two big guys, which one do you like more? Personally, I gotta say Marvel. I love all their superheroes so much, they do a great job with characters, and Marvel movies are just fantastic.

Ice Sage Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Gonna have to say Marvel! I just like their superheroes more. Spider-Man, Captain America, X-men, and Iron man And they got some awesome villains as well. Magneto, Dr.Doom etc The movies are great!

Loki Laufeyson Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Do you...even need to ask? My answer is just too bloody obvious. Ive enjoyed Thor since i was a wee one. I also enjoyed the X-Men way back when. Its nice to rediscover Captain America too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Wall Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I like DC more. Not exactly sure why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Marvel. Their movies are more entertaining, they're actually trying to be more inclusive in their cast of heroes (Ms. Marvel is a legitimately great comic and everyone should read it), and they have Thor. Also I follow a bunch of Marvel writers I like on Tumblr and they are actually pretty cool people. I'll see what happens with DC once they give Wonder Woman a movie.

Duke of Dozel Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Marvel, easily. Unlike DC, they don't have to recreate their entire universe via New 52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldfox Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 One side has Captain America, Thor, Nightcrawler and Blade(why isn't he relevant). The other has Green Lantern, Nightwing, Cyborg and Booster Gold. Iunno, I'll say both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 With the exception of Batman, I just don't find many DC characters that interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Neither I'm not exactly a fan of super hero comics If I REALLY had to choose, I guess I'd choose marvel, because the spider man movies are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewtifulBo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If DC movies weren't so bad (animated and Dark Knight are exceptions) I'd call it a draw. I love the Batman (Kevin Conroy voiced) but... Stan Lee... I love that man. 18 cameos... plus Tony Stark... *smirks* Actually um I kinda only really like DC for Batman, nevermind Marvel all the way lol.

Cowboy Karimov Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Not real big on comics, but I've heard that DC has much better writing than Marvel. The things about DC is that they've got laughable characters like the enormous-breasted Power Girl, Jakeem Thunder, Ultra-Humanite, Mister Terrific who defines "Gary Stu", and Oracle. I much prefer Marvel because of how DC makes such rediculous characters. Edited April 24, 2014 by HeavyBrawlsGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) How on earth is Mr. Terrific a Gary Stu? Sure, he's a boring, cookie-cutter superhero, but he's no more of a Gary Stu than Batman or Iron Man. Honestly, I really get the impression you never actually read any of the comics featuring those character and just read about them in some wiki article.

Snowy_One Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 DC by far. Marvel is okay when dealing with side-characters, but it really fails to pull itself together and tell a solid overarching story IMO. Just look at stuff like One More Day. Not that DC hasn't had its failures, but they seem quite a bit less on the whole... New 52 aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Three people are chumps. Marvel. Their movies are more entertaining, they're actually trying to be more inclusive in their cast of heroes (Ms. Marvel is a legitimately great comic and everyone should read it), and they have Thor. Also I follow a bunch of Marvel writers I like on Tumblr and they are actually pretty cool people. I'll see what happens with DC once they give Wonder Woman a movie. Har that'll be the day. Widow movie is actually in talks but i see no progress at all on anything Wonder Woman. (Pity too, cuz i liked her when i was a child.) Not real big on comics, but I've heard that DC has much better writing than Marvel. Pah. Batman has/had some pretty legit writing but there just isnt much outside that, that ive found.

Nightmare Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I haven't read a whole lot of DC, but none of it really appeals to me from afar (aside from Batman). Marvel is the way to go. I like so many of their things. Marvel is okay when dealing with side-characters, but it really fails to pull itself together and tell a solid overarching story IMO. Just look at stuff like One More Day. You're saying this like "Marvel" is a single person who does all the writing, but no, Marvel is made up of a myriad of writers and artists, and so is DC. And get this, they're not exclusive to any one company either, as has been demonstrated many times when writers and artists have switched sides. Let's not even go into the whole "pulling itself together" comment, because Stan Lee was one of the first to seamlessly connect every story, making them all take place in the same universe, and it was perfectly executed. It just seems to me like you haven't actually read a whole lot of Marvel. Try Stan Lee's run of Spider-Man, for starters, because I think it, especially, refutes all your points. There are more too, but I don't feel like naming them all. Edited April 25, 2014 by Nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyWalk Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I grew up on Marvel characters but around 14-17 I got really into DC. I certainly don't have a favourite but I can name my favourite runs Ultimate Spider-Man Immortal Iron Fist Cable and Deadpool Nova v2 Inhumans v2 Pretty much all of Cosmic Marvel Silent War World War Hulk X-Men: Messiah Complex Thor V3 Avengers Disassembled Avengers vs X-Men Young Justice 1990's Flash V2 The Dark Knight Retusn/The Killing Joke/Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader? Most things involving either Red Robin or Nightwing Everything in between Green Lantern Rebirth to War of The Green Lanterns Booster Gold v2 Superman: Birthright/Secret Identitiy/All Star Superman Kingdom Come 52 Infinite Crisis New 52 I'm a sucker for ridiculously OP characters such as The Sentry, Cable literally becoming Jesus, Phoenix being way too powerful and Cyclops getting the Phoenix Force, Wally West's OP powers, Superboy Prime etc. Edited April 25, 2014 by Alb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Orphie Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Personally, I think both companies are really good. However, I feel Marvel is superior. The only thing DC's been using as of late that they have going for is Batman. (Note the countless movies and games) Not saying Batman isn't a HUGE marketing figure for DC, but you can only milk a guy in a bat costume who's a multi-billionaire when not in tights so much before it gets old and uninteresting. Marvel, while they do milk their stars just about as much if not more, they have TONS of comics at their disposal. But I need to say another thing: Static Shock. BRING HIM BACK.

Maiden of Ghosts Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I've never been super duper big on superheroes, especially the comics, to be honest.. But I definitely like Marvel more. I will give DC one thing, though, they have the Teen Titans, and the Teen Titans cartoon was my favourite thing in the world back when it was still running. But beyond that, I still like Marvel more.

Naughx Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Marvel too, they got more awesome characters like the X-man, Spider-man, Thor, Hulk, Iron man, Ghost Rider... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC has as a lot of comics at their disposal as well. Admittedly Marvel seems to have the upperhand on movies overall, The Watchmen and Batman movies far surpass the quality of Marvel movies, on top of that Arrow and Smallville have massive cult followings. Their straight to dvd animation movie department also are of higher quality (IMO) but that may be because they are aiming for a little more mature audience. I however do have a preference for Marvel's tv cartoon series. I hate to generalize it but the way I see it is that DC tries to have a certain grittiness to their work outside of their comics whereas Marvel has that all round appeal.

Anacybele Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Marvel, no contest! I just like their heroes and movies better overall, plus Disney owns them now. ^^ Iron Man is also my top favorite cause of the movies. :3 But I have to admit that I've enjoyed all the DC cartoons I've watched and I'm a big Wally West fangirl. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bear Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) have to say Marvel. They make great movies which seem to keep getting better. The Dark Knight trilogy was incredible although after watching the first two the last one was a disappointment and Man of Steel was terrible. I don't know all that much about the comics or older movies sadly. Edited April 25, 2014 by dragonfang13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizenberg Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 DC because, i don't really care much about marvel. well, X-men is damn good. but the rest i'm not as interested in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I like DC because of Roy Thomas. But I also like His Marvel work too. Marvel has more memorable villains, but DC has a shitton of characters that are part of comic book history. [Fawcett Comics-Captain Marvel (I refuse to call his Shazam), The Blue Beetle (Fox, then others, then Charlton), Plastic Man(Quality Comics), and Wonder Woman (All-American Comics]. Marvel's fun, but I'm not one for long storylines and shit like the Clone Wars thing or the aftereffects of The Civil War series. Now Project Dynamite on the other hand. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
