Because it's a character nobody outside comic readers has ever even heard of, and only Marvel has proven able to succeed with "obscure" characters Poor box-office aside (due to a number of things but especially COVID), The Suicide Squadwhich is filled with obscure characterswas a hit with film goers and reviewers. And it spawned another hit in Peacemaker, a spin-off centered around an obscure character. Then you have other stuff like Kick-Ass, Kingsman, and Invincible; projects with source material that are otherwise obscure to people who don't read comics but went on to be successful in their own right. Black Adam being an unpopular character wasn't necessarily why the movie sucked (imo). The writing, the story, the characters, all that stuff that makes a good movie (again, imo) just wasn't there.

Their lesser known brands sold on the strength of what came before. Iron Man sells more, ffs. Except maybe Squirrel Girl. Why would most people go see them?

Why?</quote>I brought up the 3 specific branches that made Marvel money in the decades before the MCU was a thing. Like you did with DC.xGhostchantx posted... </cite><quote>That's why no one gives a shit about DCEU. Black Adam and Blue Beetle have never, ever sold as well as anything Marvel has ever printed. Why would most people go see them?</quote>This is just asinine. Why the fuck would anyone go see Ant-Man or Guardians Of The Galaxy just the same? Do you think Ant-Man ever pulled insane sales numbers or something? </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just like it's a fact that only Spider-Man, Hulk and X-Men were big names for Marvel and the rest of the line-up wasn't all that popular until the 2010s. Hell, the actual Avengers were considered to be C and D listers among the comics community until Bendis revamped them. So it's Marvel's few truly popular characters VS DC's few truly popular characters rather than presenting it as if the entire Marvel catalogue was filled with heavy hitters. X men had the greatest selling comic of all time but to be fair, There's Spider-Man and there's everyone else, and X-Men isnt the breadwinner anymore its Wolverine. And the MCU has definitely skewed things more towards Marvel's favor too. Iron Man was a character no one gave a shit about forever. RDJ saved it. Thor kinda fell out of flavor too until the MCU came back for him. The MCU definitely tipped the scales a lot for the popularity of Super heroes and DC can't keep up. There's Spider-Man still and there's everyone else lol. --- The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench. Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content. <cite>I4NRulez posted [p:974185100] in Why Did BL...

They're worse than their predecessors, and their predecessors weren't that well received either. You wouldn't unless you're a proper DC fan. What the fuck are you not understanding? The internet was a mistake. * If Marvel sold better than DC; and, * Marvel made a well received CU; and, * DC has never sold better than MC; and, * DC made a poorly received CU; This means that the reason Marvel is more successful is because they sold more historically and made a better product historically, hence tertiary characters are more likely to sell both in print and film, meaning said tertiary characters are still more popular than DC characters.
