[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6408067, member: 177"] I also hope that both do well, and are great movies. But, you know, I didn't go to see the last stand alone Batman or Superman flicks. What I heard didn't jazz me. I'm not sure I'm jazzed for this one. Meanwhile, Marvel has earned a lot of goodwill. They have shown, with GotG, that even with a property or plotline I question, they can make an entertaining flick. I will be giving them benefit of the doubt on their big-screen offerings for a while. I think the linked Forbes article above gets much of it right, but I think it misses a major chunk of the success. Batman wins because he's a badass. Superman wins because he's the last son of Krypton. But really, Tony Stark wins because he's clever and driven. Captain America wins because he's such a good guy that people will follow him into the fire. Star Lord wins, honestly, because he's a charming dork! The DC heroes win because of their powers. The Marvel heroes win because they are the people they are, and Marvel's been making sure that is supported by the writing and acting. [/QUOTE]
