For example DC has better fights large area damage better CGI

Marvel has a better flavor/theme or something like that.

I think Marvel Movies are better at creating delusional fanboys.

The First two Spidermen, Xmen franchise, Winter Soldier, are all reasons Id take Marvel over DC. TDK seems to be an anomaly and MOS isn't better than the Xmen films for me at least

Points to the several people on this board that said BvS was a great movie, one even said it was the best superhero movie ever made.

Why don't you list these people, then do the same for Marvel?

Not only quantity, but the "quality" of delusion runs much deeper I see in many debates.

Silent Master
Do you have anyone that beats thinking BvS is the best superhero movie ever made?

Placidity
Is one person's belief meant to be an argument?

Silent Master
Considering we are talking about delusional fanboys, then yes, posting an example of their delusions is an argument.

BruceSkywalker
As someone who loves both, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Marvel is the best.. period

Best comic movies are Watchmen and TDK. TDK transcends the genre, though

Lol. Watchmen? Snore fest at times. It was good but no where even near best comic book movie of all time. There's at least 10 other comic book movie that's better than Watchmen.

Zack M
That's your opinion, but I'd rank it as my #1.

DC/WB also has the #1 ticket seller of all time, which is TDK.

Everyone leaves out V for Vendetta for some reason when discussing best comic book movies

Watchmen was visually breathtaking and I physically couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The dialogue was beautifully dark and the characters were interesting. In terms of theater going experience and overall entertainment though I think it arguably belongs in top 10 but not top 5.

I'm just saying it's my personal #1. I even like it more than TDK. Actually, I think I like Blade 1 more than the Nolan trilogy now that I think of it. Also 89 Batman.

You are mistaken. I never said there wasn't any delusional fanboys on DC's side, let alone not a single delusional fanboy.

I don't really care about specific examples, I doubt either of us care about searching for quotes. But Quanchi would be a good one to look at if you are so interested.

The fact that you want to debate me on this is in line with what I've observed.

SM 2 or GOTG? Which do you guys prefer?

Anyway, this thread is hilarious. I like both companies but it's really no contest when it comes to who's winning the movie war atm.

TethAdamTheRock
Yes the hulk buster vs hulk was pretty good, but it was no where near as long as the superman vs zod fight though. Not nearly as much destruction too. but probably more realistic

Did anyone actually say it's the best ever?

Regardless there were people giving IM3 some ridiculous praise when that movie came out. Although those voices have gone quiet for the most part, with the exception of that tool John Schnepp.

So yeah, that would trump calling BvS one of the best or the best ever.

Yeah.

Also who even says it has to match Marvel's? That's like saying the new Star Trek has to be Star Wars quality otherwise it's a failure.

The Irony of this post. Both have delusional fanboys.

As for this thread, Marvel Movies started a shared universe that people are currently loving it. DC Movies is trying to emulate that formula but somehow having trouble getting into it.

Yes, someone did say that it was the best superhero movie ever. As for IM3, I don't recall anyone ever making a similar claim.

Kotor3
The most epic DC movies for me is Superman I and II and 1989 Batman. I also believe those movies had the greatest effect on the comics and audience.

At that time DC was the greatest and I guess still are for redefining a character and making them a household name.

Right now Marvel is just better at making good to great movies and combining characters into one universe.

TDK trilogy is amazing and has the best villains of any comic book movies and a very good Batman.

Nolan overall is a better director than most of the guys in the MCU, and even his weakest film in TDKR is still more interesting than most of what Marvel has to offer, though he does have massive flaws too such as his poor fight choreography.

The first two Donner Superman movies are masterpieces that still hold up, and Christopher Reeve is one of the best portrayed comic book characters ever.

That's about it for DC.

Arachnid1
The Spiderman 2 train sequence to this day is the undefeated champ of comic book movie fights. The train sequence was epic. The only contenders its had was Hulk vs Abom and Superman vs Zod, so MoS has that going for it at least.

Superhero movies need to step it up on the fight scenes. SM2 shouldn't still have a comfortable win there with all the time thats passed and how big super hero movies have gotten.

Which fight is better.

Superman Vs Zod

Hulk Vs Abomination

Hulk Vs Hulk Buster

Superman Vs Batman

but i have feeling the solo movies will be better then the team up movies from the WB's made DC movies.

Seems that way, given the team up movies seem to be marketing the solo movies, rather than the other way around.

TheVaultDweller
So is this just MCU vs DCEU, or all the Marvel/DC films we've had? If it's just the two main cinematic universes, comparing them at this stage is kind of dumb, as DC is sitting on 2 films, whereas Marvel is on 12 films (excluding Civil War), 4 series and multiple oneshots.

2 movies in. At least 2 films a year.. That makes it 4 years from now.

But I think we should be able to compare to Marvel Phase I once Justice League is out. If not, then definitely the next year once The Flash and Aquaman solo movies are out.

Not that DC needs to match Marvel to be considered good in its own right.

TethAdamTheRock
What about acting?

Marvel hands down. Only a fanboy like Darth Thor would try to argue for DC. He did love him some Batman v. Superman in which he predicted it would be the film of 2016.

Marvel has done a superb job at casting.

No one matches RDJ in a SH flick quality-wise and he's a fantastic Stark. Then we have Evans who while not a great actor, is a superb Captain America. Sam J is a good Fury. Ruffalo is a great Banner (Norton was a good Banner), Hiddleston is great as Loki. Renner's good as Hawkeye. Hemsworth is another generally not great actor, but he does justice to Thor. GoTG was cast well all around. List goes on.

I agree, all good choices as actors.
My only concern & I can assume also a concern for Marvel is how long can they hang on to these actors to play their roles in the franchise?
RDJ seems to be wanting out or basically just clearly bored with his role.
And Scar Jo's gonna be under a lot of stress if she wants to settle down with kids but expected to keep her figure for BW.

Robtard
Someone major is likely dying in CA:CW and most of them will likely end their roles after Infinity Wars part 2, which is only 3 years away.

TethAdamTheRock
RDJ and Evans want out.

Norton Hulk, Or the Hulk from the Hulk Vs Abomination Movie was the best Hulk and Actor IMO

TethAdamTheRock
Loki is a really Good Actor

TethAdamTheRock
But Superman and Zod were really good actors too though

steverules_2
At the moment DC isn't doing anything better than Marvel, MOS and BvS are nothing compared to what we're getting from Marvel thus far. That's not me being biased, that's my honest opinion, I know Captain America: The First Avenger, the Thor films and Iron Man 2/3 aren't great (putting it lightly), but we have Avengers, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Guardians Of The Galaxy and Captain America: Civil War is looking to be off the charts. Avengers: AOU whilst it wasn't great was still a pretty decent sequel, it was never gonna be as good as the first Avengers.

TethAdamTheRock
Captain America and the Thor Movies were fine. Iron man is good too

Yea, It would of been better if at least 30 Minutes of that movie was dedicated to the Asgard Vs Frost Giants on Earth Battle Scene, along with Odin and Lauffy. That would of been MUCH better. I wouldnt have even cared about the rest of the movie.

This is why DC is better, look at the long intro to Man Of Steel On Krypton, and eventually to how Superman made it to earth. Marvel needs to learn from that. Those scenes MAKE the movie.

I felt That was a bit too much in the nose after the complaints towards MOS tbh. Like showing Tony seeing there's no one in the building he smashed Hulk through. Superman might have done that with his X-Ray vision every time he "purposefully" smashed into a building. Snyder may have just thought it wasn't worth specifically pointing that out.

Either way collapsing a building like that is without doubt a massive danger to nearby civilians. And we know there were near by civilians because Hulk sees them after he gets up.
