So Marvel is going for 60s/70s/80s while DC is doing the 90s on film now?

So while Marvel is going for the silver/bronze age of comics, DC seems set to go for the Dark Age of comics?

They do remember what happened to all that right?

One of my friends said "Do you remember the Dark Ages of the 1990s in comics? the era where they were imitating Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Heavy Metal Magazine etc. and took the wrong lessons? do you agree it was a rotting corpse that was killed and buried for a reason and that studios are trying to move away from that era and was poisonous tripe that nearly killed the comic industry?".

Well answer his question? on how DC movies is taking the wrong lessons from Nolan as the same was to the 90s comics were to Frank Miller, Heavy Metal Magazine and Alan Moore?

You are incorrect.

I got a better question: Like why the heck does this thread exist?

Because some comic fans have compared Marvel movies to the 60s/70s/80s eras of comics and DC movies to the 90s dark age of comics.

You do remember the so-called "Dark age" of comics of the 90s eh?

Marvel wishes it could be that age again. That's when they had something called a f*cking imagination.

The movies are mainly toothless rehashes of 2000s era books

OP, you're an idiot.

Yeah, They've done Civil War, Extremis, Winter Soldier, and Janet's daughter is the Wasp. Not to mention all they borrow from the Ultimate universe.

In that instance, they were borrowing from MC2, which was kept chiefly afloat in the 2000s by the Spider-Girl title (though one major difference is that Hope is a villain in that universe)

~~JakeSully~~ · 12-25-2015, 07:51 AM

And would you compare DC to the 90s comic books?

Im not really understanding youre question

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 12-26-2015, 11:51 AM

Well well. Looks like I haven't missed anything interesting on the 'Drome for Christmas holiday.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-27-2015, 01:06 AM

Jake, you know we get along so I'm just trying to be polite while others aren't going to bother.

I'm following the production of the DC films more closely than anyone on this board probably is. In brief, your assumptions about what they're building off of and what they're building towards are incorrect. I don't really have any more energy to devote to it than that. You're simply incorrect.

Really? I missed that!? Where? I need more drama in my life.

I don't do hugs right now... gave out too many at Christmas, now I'm operating under a deficit. Need some stimulus to get my hug-bank running again.

It's okay, Jake. Old people need hugs, too. Don't let the orneriness sully your reputation.
