So, let's not 'edition war' over our favourite billion dollar multinationals. But I wanted to zoom in on a particular difference I've seen repeated over and over for years.
"DC characters are more epic. Marvel characters are more relatable."
It's a comparison which is repeatedly used. Is that actually true though? What do you think?
Superman more epic than Thor?
Flash more epic than Quicksilver?
Hawkeye more relatable than Green Arrow?
Darkseid more epic than Thanos?
Scarlet Witch more relatable than Zatanna?
Generally, I feel like they have very similar characters (of course they do -- they spent decades copying each other).
I wonder if it's literally down to Marvel's biggest property is Spiderman (relatable) while DC's is Superman* (epic). Is that why the comparison keeps getting used?
*Well, Batman I guess. But he's not epic.
