Message: [QUOTE="MrChester, post: 352914, member: 291148"] When I clicked on this post my thoughts were decidedly "I don't even like the Marvel films, but Marvel" however, you're right, there are some astounding DC films out there that Marvel has just never even come close to. I think it goes a little like this though (and keep in mind I'm not really talking about the TV shows): [B]DC has significantly higher highs, but they also suffer from drastically lower lows.[/B] A marvel film might be brain-deactivatingly bland, but they're usually pretty tightly crafted. DC on the other hand - man, sometimes they just sink millions into a film and the end result just isn't even watchable. Marvel's direction might be spiceless as can be, but at least someone there has an idea of what they wanna do with the brand - they aren't just randomly picking up and dropping projects based on some random executive's every whim and they aren't backtracking every other film. Like the Snyder period for DC films - jesus christ, whether you like the films or not, Snyder is an ametuerish director and yet they were THE main visionary for DCs entire cinematic universe for years - like how does that even happen? And worse, after all that garbage, they basically just turned around and said "yeah, none of that mattered". Or how about Suicide Squad: THE Suicide Squad might be a decent, popcorny flick... but you already made a Suicide Squad film and you can't just redact that and pretend it never existed. DC has some real bangers that Marvel is far too clean to ever make, but Warner have too much money, and these characters are too important to so many people for them to be taking such a blasé and half-arsed buckshot approach to so many of their projects. So my answer is still the same, Marvel beats out DC, but I do wanna caveat that it's really just about consitency because at their best, Marvel makes decent sueprhero movies and DC make genuine Cinema.
