Ridiculous. I'm going to file this article right next to the one talking about how the last seasons of Seinfeld were trash.

He's moved around a lot on the spectrum actually, mostly because the most recent incarnations of the character are dedicated to protecting his people... just in an antihero kind of way.

He's been a member of the JSA recently.

I'd love to agree with him, but his argument sounds a lot like Clemson and Alabama talking about LSU


This analogy would make a lot more sense if you swapped the teams around.

The MCU is the established one. Hell, the MCU started its run in 2008 - like Alabama.

I don't think you understand Black Adam at all. He is a complex character with a strong sense of justice. He is rarely a true villain.

I was referring to the current mantra by Clemson and Alabama fans that, since LSU has lost the GOAT QB and Offensive Assistant and other key players, they are automatically done. Similar to Downey and Evans exiting the MCU and this videogame reporter assuming that Disney Marvel is now 2nd tier.

Sort of like Magneto being placed with the heroes instead of the villains in Secret Wars.

Yeah...that’s not true at all. In fact I think with Disney + and once Marvel shows start coming out regularly to support the overall MCU as well, it’s over.

Black Widow and most of the Avengers were C-List for a long time before MCU.

There's a reason other companies didn't buy em during the Marvel fire sale.

Harley while recent has been an A-list character for awhile. Even going far enough to star in her own comics, co-star directly with Batman in cartoons and games, and be the main draw of a movie ensemble, twice now.

I've rewatched each of the MCU movies at least 5 times for even the worst ones such as Thor 2 or Iron Man 3 and the rest probably a dozen or so times or more depending on how long they've been out.



That is incredible.

There are plenty of Marvel Studio, Fox, Warner superhero films that I only needed to see once. I can't imagine sitting through Thor 2, Captain Marvel, or Dr. Strange for a second viewing.

Since Nolan's Batman trilogy, DC has produced mostly garbage.

WW was really good.

1984 looks great! I can't wait!

Everything else has been either disappointing or hot garbage!

Marvel, on the other hand, has rarely missed the mark. I'd say Marvel has had a 90%+ success rate as far as overall quality content, imo. DC cannot come close to that comparison!

Serious question for some of you, what makes movies like Shazam or MOS hot garbage? How are those films so much worse than the first 2 Thor fims, Iron man sequels, ant mans, Cpt Marvel, Dr Strange?

Its obviously a DC shill. Let's see how well Birds of Prey does compared to Black Widow at the box office. My money is on Black Widow and it won't be close.



Birds of Prey trailer makes Black Widow look like The DARK KNIGHT..I don't know what they were going for in Birds of Prey
