if that statement really makes you ponder, then you were challenged long before you saw the movie.

Marvel movies have their problems. From the retarded quips to the TV level production style to the at times average special effects. Several of their problems are only part of their earlier films. But DC is so much worse in every single way. Nothing about the DC movies is compelling or interesting. They fucking managed to make a Batman vs Superman movie dull and Superman unlikable! DC is so obviously desperate to catch up that they didn't even bother with establishing their pantheon. After Man of Steel they just immediately threw out BvS with Doomsday as evil monster guy who kills Superman. BvS, Doomsday, Superman dies... They tried to put so much hype into that movie to make sure it's a hit and the result was still just bad. DC tried so hard to go the serious way that it just looks desperate next to the Marvel films which while ridiculous at times are at least really fun and entertaining for the most part. I don't give a shit about anyone in the DC line-up.
Gavin Cruz
stop watching flicks meant for literal kids then tl;dr also you wouldn't be saying this if CW won an oscar

How bout comparing earnings for movies released in the same time period? MCU literally created the market for capekino - something that would've never been possible if DC was in charge of it back then.

That line from the Avengers was some of the best characterization in the entire franchise, and they did it in one sentence. That's good writing, like it or not.
Jordan Evans
I think there's room in the world for both takes. I prefer DC because they're treating the lore with respect and not shying away from the impact that actual superhumans would have on society, like Watchmen if it weren't mired in Cold War paranoia and cynicism.
I like most Marvel films, too, but solely when I just want to turn my brain off and be entertained. I have to make a conscious effort to not think about how far afield the depictions of the characters are from their comics counterparts and how superficial their commonalities are.
Both offer entirely different forms of entertainment and I honestly wish the partisan console wars bullshit would die.

And the 90s Cap movie before that.
And the 90s Batman before that.

And the 60s West Batman before that.
And the serialized Batman, Superman, and Captain Marvel film shorts before that. An incomplete list, but I think you get my point.

I prefer DC's serious approach over Marvel's funny approach. Sadly, DC has been making shit movies other than WW and Watchmen. Marvel's movies are usually better. The tide seems to be turning a bit though. Marvel has had some very lame movies.

The world sees superman as a God.Lex wants to prove them wrong and show that Superman isnt all good. Thats why he says "They need to see the fraud you are. With their eyes. The blood on your hands."
Juan Powell
But yes, I absolutely do agree with you that this stupid console wars should end. But I don't think it ever will as I've long suspected this isn't just a fanboy battle.
I didn't even mind Marvel before they attempted to push Marvel as the only standard in which superhero films should be compared to. It's fucking cancerous and is bringing down a whole genre down a homogenous path of inevitable self-destruction.
Films like BvS are absolutely necessary to diversify the genre. Just as Iron Man was in 2008. Like them, hate them, those experimental films are necessary to test the boundaries of the genre. Even Marvel, with its "golden standard" is facing huge diminishing returns now. Civil War fell short of Iron Man 3 and let's not even mention Homecoming.

Daniel Hernandez
Yeah, I absolutely believe that shilling is ever-present, even here. I'm also getting pissed off at the whole racial element that's creeping into it. I'm the guy that got accused of being a "pajeet" for liking the DC films and proved just how wrong they were.
Christian Walker
and note how Wonder Woman is entirely similar to the MCU movies in tone and as far away from BvS and MoS as possible.
Landon Myers
>I'm just gonna totally ignore the years those movies were released
Charles Turner
thats old dceu now they'll have the same amount of quips to copy marvel.
Evan Hughes
Dude the whole reason you're being called a Pajeet is literally because some Marvel shills got mad people started to accuse them of being third-worlder Disney shills. And cancerous as they are, they took it as a sign that they too should be copy-pasting that accusation without realizing the actual meaning of it.
Brody Bell
>only movies that won Oscars are good So I guess Suicide Squad must be a good movie since it won for Best Makeup.
Evan Rogers
Not as far as you'd think. Some of the same themes are present, just fewer of them as it's a more focused film. It's actually got a lot more in common with MoS than anything else.
Noah Gray
marvel didn't invent humor retard if anything SS was the closest I dont remember any MCU films actually portraying the enemies as sympathetic. Just faceless droves.
Brody Harris
Most people don't even know Blade is a superhero movie
Jackson Garcia
>people are still arguing over which turd franchise stinks less You guys will lap up any shit they serve you as long as it has your favourite badge slapped on it. Take a step back and realise you're arguing about extended toy commercials made to appeal to the lowest common denominator
Gabriel James
But I actually enjoyed Wonder Woman and wasn't laughing the whole time like Man of Steel.
it's almost like Snyder is a pretentious hack
Isaac Flores
So Marvel won despite it losing now?
Ok, let's humor the idea that by copying Marvel, DC is now killing Marvel actual (if you can call Disney raping it actual)
Is this what you wanted? Marvel finds itself outplayed by DC mimicking its game but improving some basic aspects becoming much more lucrative to audiences?
All that you've accomplished is made DC the new Marvel as Marvel grows increasingly irrelevant by the year.
Oliver Morris
You realize that that "challenge" is hundreds of year old and babbys first theology tier shit these days, right?
Owen Perez
I think both Marvel and DC fans can admit Suicide Squad was a shitty movie
Luke Sanchez
The irony is that it's even more pretentious to call someone else pretentious
Ayden Gonzalez
DC fan here. Yeah, in spite having a lot going on that I liked, like the look and personalities of the characters, the movie just flat wasn't good.

If you are too smart for it, then the smarter film is the one that's more insulting due to its shallow and failed attempt to be something more.
Marvel may be a bland, safe Joss Whedon quipfest, but at least it's not a complete fucking disaster like BvS and even parts of MoS were.
Hudson Robinson
Because evil exists in the world.

Kevin Lee
A lighter tone does not mean the same tone. Jenkins infused her movie with hope and levity, without compromising solemn moments and the seriousness of the war. If you want to compare it to something, you might try the original Iron Man which had RDJ doing his shtick but in a reserved way, especially compared to the flanderization he goes through now.
But Jenkins' real blueprint for her film came from Superman 78.
Nathaniel Murphy
>more insulting >he becomes insulted by capeshit Goes back toI bet you smell your own farts and then clap yourself on the back for realizing that while Marvel is dumb, you can atleast acknowledge is dumb by the constant interruptions of quips so your intellectually superior mind never needs to actually care about the actual film.
Oliver Sanchez
It's called the Problem of Evil. If God's all-powerful, then why does evil even exist?
The mistake the posit makes is equating what mankind views as "good" and "evil" with what an unknowably powerful omniscient being would view as such.
Ian Cruz
Oh wow baby's first epicurean paradox. Fucking kill yourself.
Angel Morris
Why don't Marlels possess the vocabulary to actually discuss film? You see how their criticism usually ends at "pretentious" or "hack" while DC bros can write entire pages on the Superman/Batman relation in BvS all while barely scratching the surface.
I think they try really hard to hate a film but can't really argue why when you also have to carefully phrase yourself so you don't accidently end up insulting the much inferior Marvels with not even a fraction of the substance.
Luke Gonzalez
That's the brilliance of using it. The smokescreen not only distracted Superman, it distracted most of the audience, too.
We actually got a villain who's legitimately intelligent for a change instead of just "smartarded," and dismissive snobs can't even come down from their ivory towers to acknowledge it, at least without taking the discussion to a meta level.
Isaac Robinson
>not one single response
hmmmm

You can intellectualise a children's movie all you like, but at the end of the day it's still a children's movie. It might be time to move on to something a little late challenging. Try checking out /lit/ for some recommendations

maybe if the entire movie wasn't horribly written and Eisenberg's performance wasn't awful, people wouldn't be so dismissive.
Cooper Robinson
Top is boring and bland. When goofy DBZ action happens it looks jarring. Tries to hard to appears serious which is the losing formula for capeshit.
Bottom is silly and colorful fun. Like capeshits are supposed to be.
Logan Barnes
His performance was excellent though. Lex finally makes sense now, a worthy rival to Superman.
