| Topic | Differences between Marvel and DC? |
| tommybel89 07/03/20 2:23:15 PM #8: | This perception is kind of DC's fault. They were still writing these cardboard thin comic book characters while Stan Lee over at Marvel wrote actual flawed people. Spider-Man is struggling to pay the rent and over at DC, Batman is pretty much exactly like the Adam West TV show. The whole Justice League gets along. The Avengers are rotating members every couple issues and there are personality conflicts. Marvel felt like it was hip with the counterculture movement. DC just trodded along like it was the post-WW2 era. DC didn't make "relevant" stories until the early 70's. Batman had returned to being the "dark detective". Green Lantern and Green Arrow fought against societal ills. Superman got his powers lowered and the extra fluff got cut out. But they did it pretty much a decade too late. Marvel got a hold of the sales lead somewhere in the 70's and hasn't not really let it go. One of the main Batman series (Detective Comics) was on the brink of cancellation in the late 70's. The saving grace for DC is that they had lead in the movie business for decades until the 2000's. And even with that huge lead, they had like... 5 good movies from 1978 to 2005. And calling the Tim Burton movies 'good' is almost a stretch. --- Go Leafs Go http://www.last.fm/user/Disposableher0 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
