[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7123359, member: 22779"] See, that's the thing though. I was thinking about this and that thought occurred to me too. DCU looks bad by comparison. Only thing is, I'm not sure that holds. There's a lot of pretty mediocre MCU movies. Sure, Iron Man was fantastic. Great movie. But, Iron Man 3? That was pretty bad. The two Thor movies are, IMO, entirely forgettable. We spend 2/3rds of the first one with Thor not actually being Thor and sitting around in a coffee shop bemoaning the fact that he isn't Thor. Captain America was great. But (again, IMO) Winter Soldier was... boring? Again, largely forgettable. Let's not forget Ed Norton's The Incredible Hulk. Not exactly covering the series in glory. And, if we want to get technical about it, there's still the X-Men movies (very hit and miss) and the Spider Man movies (again, completely hit or miss). I know they aren't MCU movies, but, kinda sorta? While there have been stellar MCU movies (and there certainly haven't been any stellar DCU movies) there's been more than a few movies that have largely been carried by the brand. Maybe that's the difference. MCU movies, even the meh ones, are still buoyed up by the great MCU movies. Whereas DCU just hasn't bought that kind of goodwill by having a really good DCU movie. OTOH, DCU on the small screen is kicking ass and taking names. [/QUOTE]
