Nobody said he was wrong about movies. We're talking comics and other mediums.

And one of those mediums is movies....馃檮

that's why this thread is in the "Comic Book Movies"

Yes, really, now shut up.

So you want me to shut up for having an opinion.... 馃槓

i see the person SpaceMonkey is quoting trying to make out he's speaking the truth.....he's only slightly right.

No, because nobody said JMS was wrong.

I'm sure someone out there disagree's with his views.

Nobody here, though. Not yet.

You're wrong pretty much completely, bar the stupid weakness part, but Marvel has that too, so you're still wrong.

Nothing wrong with disliking characters, but entire companies for outdated ideas? Come on.

True dat, a lot of people here making broad sweeping generalizations.

As for the topic: I generally prefer DC, all things being equal, they've had the more impactful stories overall.

So.

Movies: Marvel - the Bladeverse and Spidermanverse tip the scales for me. But in saying that DC has some low key titles under the Vertigo imprint. So DC has quite a bit more weight in the movie stakes than some people think.

Comics: Toss up.

TV: DC by a land slide.

Let's be honest. Marvel is ahead on the big screen by a landslide.

How is DC in a land slide on tv?....all they have is Arrow these days.

Because SHIELD's the first thing Marvel has done in decades. DC had Smallville running for 10 years prior to Arrow, and like Arrow was a hugely popular show. Plus the Flash series is already confirmed for next year.

But still I agree, calling it a "Landslide" is probably pushing it at this stage.

Agents is ok, but Marvel haven't had a significant tv show in some time. DC's had Batman, Superman Animated, JLU, Smallville, Young Justice just to name a few: TV land has always been good for DC properties.

By history DC's story telling and production quality on TV has eclipsed Marvel's by a huge margin. So 'landslide' isn't far off the mark.

Yeah, if you only count live action I agree. The Marvel street leveler movies especially, translate better in live action. Not that DC don't have the same (Losers and Watchmen come to mind), but Marvel have had better movies for their street level guys. Animation though: DC all the way.

In terms of movies? Marvel

In terms of animation? DC

TV? DC - Agents of Shield has been something of a disaster, imo.

Comics... Meh. Both have their great books and their shit books, so take your pick really.

Don't forget all those cartoon series. Batman TAS was ahead of it's time and still my favorite cartoon. Even though at the time, X-Men TAS was my favorite.

So can we agree that movie-wise, at this point, Marvel wins?
