1st of all. IT can be compared. 1st 4 movies of MCU vs 1st 4 of DC...MARVEL ripped off DC.
The first movie was enough to show that...Iron Man was a bomb; not the samething can be said about Man of Steel...Capt. America and Thor solidified MCU trajectory...BVS and Suicide Squad ramshackled DCs trajectory...They could have made nice profit at the box offices but that doesnt change the fact of how TERRIBLE those movies were...critics smashed DC.
Now, Avangers was the 1st Cherry of the cake,it was a tremendous success both at the box and at the critics. Now when we think about Justice league I can only see a last effort to put the boat to float....They just brought all these characters together which some havent seen at the screen/cinema (Flash and Cyborg)...That could end bad. Also, we still have Suicide Squad and BvS bad taste in our mouths...that will be hard to remove.
2nd. When we consider that 1: DC has the two most famous Shero characters of them all (Batman and Superman. Or atleast had since Marvel Heroes are smashing these ones at the cinemas) and 2: Marvel had his most famous Characters in other compaines (Fox and Sony). We can see how MCU bas manage to stand over DC.
No one had high expectations for Iron man yet it was a success, QUITE opposite for Suicide Squad and BvS.
3rd. You are wrong. MCU has the highest gross profits...
You want to ignore the inflation comparing those films to these recent ones and ignore the later films. You also ignore total box office because you're a DC mark. No one legitimately thinks DC is making better films than marvel has save the people so biased they lie to themselves because they are so far gone.
Both critically and commercially marvel is on another level. Should I go find links in which non biased sites compare the two. Numbers and critics both make the case very clear marvel is on another level in terms of success and quality.
Critically though it isn't close. And marvel has progressed and went on like clockwork with their plans whereas DC has changed course multiple times. Currently no one knows what's going on with the latest DC announcements. It's a trainwreck over there perception wise. And DC has their entire library and more recognizable characters than marvel has the film rights to but still been more successful and created more awareness and success for lesser known properties.
Clickbait sites love to spout bullshit. DC waiting to see how JL does and only releasing one film in 2018 is signs they are thinking things through and finally taking their time.
If there is one thing you can be sure of, nobody cares about critics. It's all about money.
Suicide Squad was so terrible it made 750 millions. BvS was so terrible it made 875 millions.
Yes, BvS didn't live up to expectations but it was by no means derailing anything. Wonder Woman just became the highest grossing origin movie just after it.
Until it is released, all you can do is speculate. It will not make Avengers type money but then again that was a fluke and hasn't been repeated again.
Nobody cares about being famous. Spider-Man is nearly as famous and his MCU movie didn't made that much either.
It's all about brand name at this moment.
Dark Knight isn't from DC? Can you give the comparison for the first five movies?
So how many billions Spider-Man Homecoming did MCU fanboy? It was after all from MCU and he is almost as famous as Superman and Batman.
Less famous characters are making more money these days. Hence why GOTG 1 and 2 made more money than Captain America 1 and 2 despite Cap being more famous and even being in Avengers.
Comparing MCU's first 4 movies that features C list characters in the general audiences eyes to DCEU's 4 movies featuring every A lister they have in their roster.
The DCEU also had the benefit of releasing their sub-par movies when comic book movies are popular. Something the first 4 MCU movies didn't have. (They actually created the current comic movie fad)
If the DCEU's first 4 movies were of Aquaman, Martian Man Hunter, Shazam, and Cyborg AND they were released without any help from a current comic book movie trend in hollywood and made more money than the first MCU movies then we can compare apples to apples.
Till then the "BBBut the first DCEU movies featuring the worlds most popular heroes made more money than Marvels first 4 movies featuring C listers" argument is stupid.

Typical DC fan boy, don't care how good the movie is as long as it makes money.
