Sigh. Again, what the hell are you talking about. I'm not ripping DC or praising Marvel. I'm stating that most people that pay any attention at all to pop culture know the difference between the companies.
Tell me how else am I supposed to judge what randoms audiences think? Let me guess, from IMDB Lol
Random? What's random about interviewing people you live near? And, do you have a microphone whilst interviewing them? Curious.
And I gave a perfectly rational argument. Explained how Spider-Man is Marvel but he doesn't have that MCU goodwill, just because he's Marvel.
Actually, most people I'd argue know that Spider-man is Marvel. It also has NOTHING to do with Avengers good will. It's the fact that the last ASM movie sucked ass.
Now do you really think EVERYONE knows whose in Marvel, whose not, and which of the Marvel characters are with Fox and Sony as well LOL
Are you literally rolling on the floor? Every statement you make ends with a laugh. You must find yourself to be hilarious. Anyway, I've already stated what I think. I, judging by the people around me, think that most COGNIZANT people know the difference. My 8 year old Niece knows the difference. But sure, let's pretend that Superman is Marvel and Captain America is DC....
When I said "Nah" I didn't literally mean "you're wrong and I'm right- FACT".
Oh really? Hmmm, weird way to start a statement then.
Yeah but you seem to get all emotional over Marvel.
Wow, you're really trying to turn this into a flame war between Marvel and DC. Again, I don't know how many times you have to read something to learn, but this isn't about Marvel. This is about both companies and the saturation of them in our society. You are starting to sound more like Golgo every day.
So tell me do your Mum and Dad know the difference? If not are they also Neandrathals?
Yes, my parents know the difference. In fact my entire family knows the difference. But that's not exactly fair because I'm a comic nerd.
Knowing the name Marvel is one thing, but expecting Everyone to know which characters are associated with which comic book company is taking Geek culture a little too far.
The point is, geek culture has become pop culture. It'd be one thing to not know the difference 10 years ago. But the way that advertising works nowadays...as I said it's pervasive. I go into the grocery story I see Batman and Superman cereal box stands. I see Marvel stuff plastered everywhere. So yes, if people are paying attention to the world around them they'll probably know the difference.
