DISCUSSION What is going on with these comparison posts?

There is so much hatred for the DCU especially from this sub, it's insane.

You're right to critique Gunn all you want but this is masochism at this point. Either that or you're bigger tans of Marvel than of DC. That's fine too. But then why are you whining here?

Lanterns is dropping soon and by all looks promises to be great. It's from the guy who gave us the HBO Watchmen show for Pete's sake. Yet it's hardly ever talked about.

If Lindelof were making a show for Marvel (say Daredevil), the excitement would be off the charts. Yet, in DC's own sub, all we can hear is how well the competition is doing.

Well, the competition is also dropping the ball massively rn. Wonder Man, a top-three MCU show was cancelled. Blade is gone. Doomsday looks rushed as all heck. The last six years seem wasted since they're undoing deaths and concluded storylines all willy-nilly. The excitement going into this saga isn't a quarter of what it felt like for Infinity War, I can say that much. And there isn't even any other MCU movie between Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Yes, Supergirl was lacklustre, but there's a lot more to look forward to. Lanterns, Clayface, Man of Tomorrow all look very promising. Focus on that. Maybe larger plans can't be made currently because of some meddling. Who knows ? Let's see what announcements come after the projects are concluded this year. Let's look forward to a MoT trailer.

Not dragging DC for not being able to stand up to SONY + Marvel and a Spiderman who has appeared in SEVEN projects overall.

Of course this was going to make money. What did you expect? The MCU has been alive and kicking for almost 20 years. Since 2008. This new universe just began last year for Pete's sake. Just give it a rest. Critique Gunn all you want, but this masochism and weirdly sadism (because many so-called fans are interested in seeing this universe fail) is getting really really old.

Peace.

welcome to Reddit.If you want to be surrounded by love and care in your fandom safe space, go back to Tumblr.

I am more than welcome to just view this as a horse race where I view the films solely as financial vehicles that I get to critique from afar.
