The two current behemoths of cinema. Which do you prefer and why ?

MCU easily right now. If the second IW film can pull it off no doubt will the MCU be the greatest franchise ever.

WolvesofBabylon
The new films. MCU easily. However Empire > All MCU movies in my opinion.

StiltmanFTW
MCU. It has become unstoppable.

Can't wait for IW part 2.

I think both are serviceably terrible in their own way. I would say that I care more about MCU because the potential of adapting some awesome storylines from comics is there.

The only other franchise I can think of that has lasted a long time is the Bond series. But I hate Daniel Craig Bond with a passion erm

MCU. I've never been much of a Star Wars fan (though Rogue One was phenomenal).

Godzilla is another one.

Last Jedi was good as well. Possibly a nostalgia thing as ESB was the first movie I remember watching when I was young.

Both.. Nothing or no one will make me say otherwise... Been a fan of Star Wars since 1977 and been a fan of the MCU since Iron Man..

He's had plenty of movies to grow on me, but I still think he's terrible. On the plus side though, Skyfall was the best JB movie of all time IMO

Marvel. By quite a bit honestly. Marvel has been doling out quality quite consistently and has build the marvel universe on screen. That is something I never thought I would see.

Star Wars.

The new films suck but the classics are just too good.

CPT Space Bomb
MCU easily. I love Star Wars OT, but the prequels and the new films really, REALLY lowered my enjoyment of the franchise. Whereas the MCU is just pounding out great films over and over....

Estacado
MCU.

SW is just overrated...

Darth Thor
Lucas Star Wars > MCU >>> Disney Star Wars


MCU is entertaining as hell but has yet to pass the test of time Star Wars has done.

19 films and many more coming soon.

Ant-Man and the Wasp coming July, this year.

The MCU as an overall product is better. IMO Star Wars' low points are considerably worse than the MCU's, but their highs are as good.

BackFire
This is hard to answer because MCU is only 10 years old, but Star Wars has had various different cycles. If we're just comparing the most recent Star Wars series, like since Disney acquired them, or even since the prequels, I think you have to give it to the MCU, especially with how huge Black Panther and Infinity War are. If you include the original Star Wars films, then I think you have to give it to that.

On the whole, the MCU. I wouldn't consider it to have the highs that Star Wars has, but it doesn't have nearly as many lows either. On average, MCU takes it.

Oh I see. I was speaking monetarily.

My personal preference at this time, probably MCU. I liked Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, but I've really enjoyed the Marvel movies over the last couple of years.

If we're talking just recent years, then yeah, definitely the MCU imo.

^ Say what you want about Lucas and the Prequels.. but he/they were full of visual creativity that has had a massive influence on cinema.

If I wanted to take pictures of Star Wars and compare it to something else before it I could. Hell, Wonder Woman was literally just Captain America: First Avengers all over again.

ares834
Haha. It's a stupid joke. You don't have to take it so seriously.

CPT Space Bomb
I'm not saying that Star Wars hasn't been one of the most influential film series of all times, because it has been. But the MCU definitely is it's own brand at this point. There is a trademark humor and look and feel that they all share, even though the themes are different from movie to movie.

I already posted about that, so either way I'm covered.
