Marvel fan or DC fan

That's just a matter of opinion on what is "best" Just because you happen to like Marvel or I happen to like DC it doesn't mean we can declare who makes the better character. Marvel started making mutants and been exploiting countless characters since the 60's. As for real world issues...that's why I like comic books, movies, and video games. I like get away from the real world.

i think im more of a marvel fan

nah image is great

Marvel...it has the hulk, punisher, spiderman, wolvie, cap, x-men, avengers, ff...these comics are way better than that dc crap...i like batman, joker, and doomsday, and darkside, other than that they pretty much suck...there characters don't have the emotional or psychological dept that marvel does, marvel is grounded and true to how life would be with these type of heros and villians...(all of the following about dc was true asside from batman)

thats your opinion but if DC was writing characters with no psychological depth they wouldn't be in the business of making comics any more. There characters have depth it just took them awhile to get it is all. and image is good just for the fact it has the Savage Dragon

Well, jgiant makes a lot of sense. DC still tends to do the whole "our heroes are gods" sort of thing, while Marvel gives the cynicisms and such of a more realistic life. Marvel characters have always had personal problems that are really rough.

yea marvel actually goes into alot dept about there charecters and making some great emotional stories

Totally agree. 👆

Not that DC is bad, but Marvel definitely has more realistic characters.

Very true. That's basically why I'm a Marvel fan more than a DC fan. Truth be known, some DC interests me. Vertigo definately has some awesome stuff. I've been getting so badgered lately about saying some things about DC so much, and having to explain it that I might as well start a thread on it. I may tonight.

Movies :
DC : Pretty nice Batman Begins and im looking forward to the new Superman movie
Marvel : Spiderman movies are ok, X-men movies are really good and Fantastic four hoped it would be better

Comics :
DC : Batman and Superman are the only DC comics i own, and i don't like Superman at all, Batman is very intrestingly drawn
Marvel : Still rules. I like every marvel comic with my fav Spiderman.

Merchandise
DC : I have quite a few Batman Dolls from when i was younger and i liked them very much.
Marvel : I thought the spiderman - dolls were quite a rip-off because they couldn't move smoothly and they were broke very fast.

Games
DC : All of the Batman and Superman games have been a laughter so far, they all were boring.
Marvel : Spiderman games very good, Wolverine game rocks and X-men Apocolyse is a great game.

So i will have to go with .... Marvel !

Movies:

DC: DC has had far less but also have prouced the best. they generally stick to Batman and Superman. They have had 3 movies that stick in the mind with Batman Begins, superman and SM2 but also Burton Batmans are very popular, event hough I do not really like them!

MARVEL: Desperate to get as much cash in as possible. The Spidey and X Men movies are pretty good, well X Mens ROCK! Daredevil I liked and was underrated. Hulk was OK but only OK. Elektra etc sucked...

COMICS:

DC: Batman is 100% ownage. Then they have bad asses like the GLs, Captain Marvel, Nightwing and the JSA. They have generally well written stories... however, the character's have less realism than Marvel in that they're all basically untroubled normal by day and by night people. Plus, 6 letters and a space: Jim Lee.

MARVEL: I don't know as much Marvel. But compared to Infinite Crisis, house of M sucked. The currenty reprinted X-Treme X-Men stories in essentia (UK CE) wrer BS... they generally don't seem as well written IMHO but have more character development and personality, plus the sensational Daredevil, who is one of the most realistic heroes I could name in character... insaniy and all!

MERCHANDISE

DC wins, 'nuff said. Marvel merchandise is far from DC quality!

GAMES:

DC: Batman Begins was amazing and a real breath of fresh air. That's it, prettty much. I've never played the animated Bat-games, or the Superman one... those being Rise of Sin Tzu, Vengeance and Shadow of Apokalips. But the Superman Returns game will be 110% sensational!

MARVEL: They've had some amazing Spidey games and all were pretty good, even the weaker ones like PS1 Spiderman 2 and Ultimate spidey. Spiderman 1 PS1 classic was incredibly good as was PS2 Spifderman 2: the Movie!

JUDGEMENT: I'm a DC boy... but that's starting to change/...

Yeh i agree marvel merchandise sucked so far. The spiderman dolls were as intresting as a piece of wood looking to the movement they could do. Batman dolls are complete ownage, superman dolls wheren't that good, because of the stupid capes. Although; Marvel does have one good doll, Wolverine. If you push a button on his back his claws pop out.
Really cool doll.
DC wins with ownage.

Games i think Marvel owns completely. The Batman Begins game was very bad (listen to all of the critics and game reviews) , it was commented 'sneaking for dummies'. Spiderman 2 for ps2 and xbox was the best superhero game ever and the first game i got was Spiderman for ps1; very good game.
Marvel OWNS in this one.

So far, DC has only had one good movie 'Batman Begins', while Marvel has had
Spiderman : Very good
Spiderman 2 : good
X-men : VERY GOOD
X-men 2 : VERY GOOD
Hulk : fair, although i thought it sucked
Fantastic four : good, Jessica Alba makes good for a lot of things
Electra : Bad , aargh !!
Marvel OWNS in this one although Batman Begins is twice as good as Spiderman

In comics, Marvel owns still. Marvel has got realistic superheroes, with issues and handicaps, which i think is very good.
Dc on the other hand doesn't dig in to the personal life of a superhero and focusses on the action. DC is very good in creating some sort of Ubermensch, Adolf Hitler would of been proud of DC.
Marvel OWNS. Nuff said.

Marvel beat em to it, DS. Also, they may have issues, but in the drama department, Marvel will always have the edge. Look at Genis-Vell. DC is more of an action label than anything else. Not a bad thing by any means, but I feel that their animated series' have better stories, and the characters' powers aren't hard to keep up on.

Thunderstrike, how do you put links under your sig, like that? I can't work it out... I know you can just write the address, but how to write the name of the page with a link in? And I would say DC USED to jst be an action label, there is more to DC now... just look at some classic one off series' for some: Watchmen, V For Vendetta etc but they probably shouldn't count... however, stuff like Bruce Wayne: Murderer? have very little action in... I would call Cataclysm a disaster syroy not action etc...

There's a few, but Batman is a rare exception. I consider him a Marvelized character in the DCU. I don't count Vertigo stuff either, because it's geared toward an older audience, and will have more mature themes. DC has improved since I was a kid about ten or so years ago, but there's still things that I don't like about it, like there is some sort of pressure for Superman to go back to the pre-Crisis powerset, or Wonder Woman to be a feminazi. There's still great stuff, no doubt. However, Marvel will always have amazing, and deep storylines on the psychological level.

Also, hit return after the url of your sig to put text underneath it. If it's too big, you need a signature that's only about 130 pixels tall.
