Marvel or DC?
 
This is a bit of a vague question but I'm curious as to whether the drome prefers Marvel or DC when it comes to their overall lineup of superheroes, comics, films, tv shows etc.

Too vague.

Characters in general? TV shows? Comics? Current cinematic universes?

Both companies have their fair share of weakness and strengths.

I prefer DC heroes but Marvel is great too. I don't understand the notion of "X Sucks because X is better" They're both fun and have their hits and misses. You can have a preference of heroes, mine is DC but can people actually say that the entire other company sucks? If so, they're missing out.

A bit of everything, but mostly characters.

Right now, I go to the movies for Marvel and my LCS for DC

Going with characters, I gotta say DC. Didn't know any Marvel characters growing up, except X-Men.

I like both alot, but DC has the Man of Steel, and he is my favourite hero of all time so its no contest :roll:

That being said, why exactly do you prefer DC?

Exactly.

I've never been an avid comic book reader, but I've enjoyed the movies and shows all the same. I tend not to notice any significant differences to lean more towards one than I do the other.

I like both...the quality of some of those classic storylines in their original comic form transcends all of that corporate rivalry BS.

PApagreg 11-28-2017 03:15 PM

I gotta give the edge to Marvel, there are a lot more characters I like from them.

I like both, they're both good. But I only watch D.C. live action shows, I think they're better that way. Besides that I watch both their movies, animated tv shows, and read both their comics.

Finding myself out of depth again for not being a comic reader so I'll stay off the poll.

I like both, so far as outside the comics go, yes FredWolf, DC has Superman, I liked some of the Batman movies and I like the Arrow series (well less now as it's dying a bit but still)....I like some of Marvels characters and currently so far as movies go, I like theirs more.

ZariusTwo 11-28-2017 03:30 PM

DC.

Miss the mark with the movies, but the tv shows are way better than any Marvel tv show.

Except Arrow. Arrow can get f*cked

ABrown 11-28-2017 03:31 PM

As far as the characters go, I'm DC all the way. Who's putting out a better current live action movie universe, Marvel, no question about it.

I don't know, I like their heroes more, the world doesn't seem as covoluted as Marvel and I prefer the origins of their heroes and villains as well. Their stories also seem more "grounded" even when dealing with magic or sci-fi than Marvel.

It could also be that since I was a kid DC was the "A" League and Marvel the "B" League and while tables have turned I still view the DC heroes with more prestige than Marvel's. But I doubt it, I usually root for the underdog and I've always preferred DC.

I couldn't agree more very well put.

I prefer DC characters, but I love a lot of the marvel heroes as well specifically spider-man and x-men. But my love of Batman, Batman Beyond, Teen Titans surpass what ever marvel has.

Also I feel like being exposed to DC cartoons in childhood, being my first exposure primed me to like DC. Especially sense some of the characters for both companies are just ripoffs of one another *cough* Iron-man

Marvel.

There are exceptions. For instance I love DC's Animated Universe, and I've recently fallen in with the Legends of Tomorrow. And then there's the occasional DC book, like the reboot of Blue Beetle, or Gotham Central.

But barring those, I prefer Marvel.
