I think Marvel has a big advantage because of the freedom they have with their characters.

What? This isn't true. It's not that they have freedom, it's that they are taking chances on characters from outside the spectrum. There's just as much history with Captain America and Thor as there is with Superman and Batman. Are they more iconic? No, but they have long histories, and many fans who give a big shite about what happens with them.

The difference with Marvel is that they aren't spending their time making 3 different versions of one character in under 10 years. Think about that.

Marvel is creating horizontally rather than vertically.

They don't have other comparisons or expectations tying them down.

Incorrect. You know how loud the internet is and how much fans care about representations. Heck, I'm fairly critical of the X-Men. All the time. You made a similar comment in the BvS thread that Batman and Superman's popularity made them harder to "satisfy" everyone. That's paradoxical. Popularity, by it's very nature, means it DOES satisfy wide scope of people from a single creation.

We can either do this here or there, but...

Let's do this!
