DC and Marvel monopolies

Yeah, the whole 9th age of magic and whatnot. Their big story lines like DOV and the Rot. I think it's just a bigger focus. Not saying Marvel doesn't have a ton of mystics, but it seems more important. I know crossovers don't count, but in JLA/Avengers someone mentioned that magic seemed more powerful in the DCU.

You make some great points about how discussions tend to break down here.
I especially agree with your last sentence. As a debate tactic its over used.

I wish I could attribute my unwillingness to respond to it to something other than accumulated laziness 😮 .

Yeah, I think that's fair...outside of Dr. Strange and his storylines, I can see Marvel's magic world as being a bit more scattershot.

I still think Marvel has more sheer volume of mystical beings, but I've now been led to wonder if that's just because of how undefined Marvel's world of magic is. It's just too damn big for me to quantify on either side, so I'll acquiesced to DC's structure.

Thats a good way to look at it.

How about monsters?
Marvel has vampires (and Dracula), zombies and werewolves.
DC's been doing more with Frankenstein...

OMG! I was just going to post this!!

Don't forget I Zombie

Andrew Bennett, I Vampire

Ceto, Mother of all Monsters in Batwoman

Batwoman is going through her own Vampire craze

Looker had her own one-shot last year

Marvel has Dracula, DC has Cain, the First Vampire

And the Creature Commandos

Also, forgot the spirits/ghosts.

Deadman

Weeping Woman

Note, most of these monsters are "magical" in nature.

I'm not jumping on the magic train with you again.

Monsters are monsters.

Lol. What?

You and GG already discussed magic to death yesterday.

Monsters, the way i mean it are vampires, werewolves, mummies, patchwork men.

I was just reinforcing my opinion. Nothing wrong with that. Never asked you to jump in.

Now, add some of Marvel's monsters. Wendigo, Dracula, etc...

Why wouldnt i?

😛

Because more evidence is good.

Why is it good?

😂 Come on, man.

Isnt less sometimes more?

In some cases, yes. But I want opinions that are backed up. Battle boards always gets bloated with info. It's a necessary evil. 😉

Backed up in what way?

Then why arent you at a battle board?

It's a necessary evil.

As opposed to an optional good?

😉

What do you mean by winking at me?
