Why do you prefer DC?

Marvel has nothing on this.

6) More action. Marvel tends to talk a bit much for me...I want to see someone get their ass whipped

7) Last and most importantly: Marvel does have originality, but they do copy a LOT of DC ideas...if it wasn't for Batman their would be no Wolverine, Daredevil, or Black Panther. If their was no Superman..Thor would not have some of his abilities. WW was a pioneer for women in terms of heroines. Overall...without X-men and Spidey..marvel flat out sux...I mean..who else to they have Captain America...Fantastic Four...Iron Man....gag....

Um #5 Those are all gimmicks IMO and ICON is a the new Marvel imprint.

#6 I tend to disagree with you. Marvel has a lot more action IMO but their dialogue is not as well written as DC's.

#7 There is no way in hell that Thor was made to copy Superman. They dont even have similar powers. Most of Thors powers have been around for centuries something called Norse Mythology I believe. Captain America, Fantastic Four and Iron Man are all great characters and if you havent read a recent FF comic then youre missong out. By naming those three characters you contradicted your previous statement of Marvel's lack of originality because those are all very original characters.

Um if there wasnt a Kingdom Come, No Earth X? LOL

I like DC cuz its more Sophisticated, Marvel is more for lil kids.
I would rather believe a man sent from a diff Planet, and having super powers then Mutants living among us.

You know Kingdom Come and Earth X came from the mind of the same guy so youre argument is moot(always wanted to say that).

The second part of your post just makes you look idiotic. Im not insulting you but when you say Marvel is for "lil kids" thats plain stupid. Supreme Power, Daredevil, Punisher for "lil kids" I highly doubt that.

Its more believable that mutants live among us since there are froms of mutation in our present and very real lives. Do I need to bring up the super baby recently born. Until I see an alien come up to my doorstep humans with mutations is a more believable concept.

 

[Bat-Mantis]

The super baby kicks ass.
I want that mutation.

 

[Gamestar2004]

Cool a super baby..got a link?

you know what i mean, marvel is a lil too cartoony thats what i mean by for lil kids. Punisher and DD are diff, even wolverine is getting too cartoony..i thing batman and superman and gl flash all the history, all the contuinty cant spell it what some one said earlyer, it all makes sence. Marvel has ultimate this and amazing that too much b.s. too many story changes. How many times are they gonna tell the spiderman story already?? Extreme xmen spiderman all that crap, now spidergirl is going throught the symbiote phaze...wtf thats what i hate

The problem with you my good friend is you have no idea what youre talking about. You at like you do but dont. Give me examples of how Marvel is too "cartoony". Continuity is easier at DC because they got 2 or 3 witers writting all their core books. Geoff Johns on how many books?

 

[Assassin]

Lets just say all there main characters are aimed towards kids..Thats why its easyer to read, not complicated story line..(maybe wolverine the end lol) but the characters are aimed towards kids, X men, Spiderman, Hulk puss'd down, Avengers

The grown up stuff is like Marvel Knights.

catch my drift?

 

[Darthphere]

Umm no just because you dont like it doesnt make it kiddie. Look at Astonishing X-men is that kids stuff? ASM is nowhere near kiddie level. Hulk isnt any more violent than he was back in the day. Thats the writers fault because he cant finsh an arc and hes really boring. Avengers is not for kids have you seen the preview for #500? So no youre wrong.

 

[Assassin]

look at the damn charts, i bet you marvel apeals to kids more then adults, maybe i dont know what im talking about cuz i stoped caring a while ago but im still right!

 

[Darthphere]

Actually the number of "lil kids" reading any comics is very low. Unfortunately its teenage kids and up that read comics so your argument is irrelevent. Give me a link and show me these charts. Until then youre wrong.

 

[Gamestar2004]

Off topic..I saw about the superbabay..so cool!

"Somewhere in Germany is a baby Superman, born in Berlin with bulging arm and leg muscles. Not yet 5, he can hold seven-pound weights with arms extended, something many adults cannot do. He has muscles twice the size of other kids his age and half their body fat."

I would like to see him in the Olympics

Dodgey Browne:

I can refute most of your points

-You said: you claim Superman is bigger than Spider-man, I totally disagree. I want to see a new Superman movie make as much money in the first days as Spider-man 2 has done.

Um, if Superman put out a movie as quality as Spidey's I GUARANTEE that it would make more money. Hell, Superman I is still talked about until this day. We need to wait 20 years and see if Spiderman the movie stands the test of time. Also, who cares about box office numbers...SW: Episode I made TONS of cash..it sucked too. So money means nothing. Superman is one of the most recognizable fictional characters in history. Period. Spiderman isn't on his level...if you are honestly arguing this, you don't know comics.

- you said: you claim DC has better characters, what does Super-man have better then Spider-man of the Fantastic Four. Superman is pretty dull in my eyes. He's just a boring guy who can beat anyone.

Some of his storylines do suffer,I agree. But the FF? Give me a break! They are a joke. Have you ever read Reign of the Supermen storyline, Jim Lee is doing great things right now...to say he is boring and Mr. Fantastic is interesting is funny.

-you said: you think Batman is one of the most interesting fictional characters period? I find unrealistic more appropriate. He's fighting alongside Superman like no it's not a problem. The writers sometimes forget he's still human.

Obviously, you've never read a batman storlyine. He is right along Superman because he is the Best. BUT, he has issues. Read Bruce Wayne Fugitive, Hush, Death in the Family, Knighfall. he has problems. As far as it being unrealistic...it's a damn comic book. So a man swinging on webs is real realistic..oh yeah, and claws coming out of your hands makes sense too!

- you said: DC more risky? Marvel gave Flash Thompson brain damage. Venom has cancer. They burned Reed Richard's face. I heard someone gets killed in Avengers # 500. So that's a weak arguement of you.

I said DC takes more risks. I didn't say Marvel took none. But honestly, giving Flash Thompson brain damage is not comparable to killing Robin. Giving Venom cancer is not near breaking Batman's back, and burning Reed Richard's face...is small to kililng off Superman or turning one of your main heroes (Hal Jordan) to a villain who is now the Spectre. Marvel takes risks, they just aren't DC size. Let them f*** around with spider-man or kill storm, then we can talk.

Guyverjay: real mature..would you care to articulate

darthphere: I can see your points. I just find FF kind of boring, I think Marvel does have original characters, but I think DC is more influential. I welcome a good rebuttle! =-)

 

[Darthphere]

Have you read FF Authorative Action and Unthinkable? Read those and tell me if the FF arent interesting.

Spiderman is the graetest Marvel Storyline, i mean there is a lot they can do with it, why do they keep re-writen it under a diff b.s.name i dunno, and show me your proof, until then your wrong in my eyes. Marvel is dead to me. The only thing that they have that is even worth looking at are the Punisher storylines, Blade, cuz they have Darker heros but they still dont compare to Batmman...and f*** fantastic 4, u cant compare FF to JLA or any other team book in DC, Avengers is a JLA ripoff, Stan Lee can lick My Sack

Real mature there buddy. Avengers is no JLA rip-off. You cant even compare them. What proof do you want me to show you? I cant understand your poorly written english. FF is ten times better than what JLA is right now. I think its better than Kelly's and Morrison runs. I dont care if you hate Marvel or not but dont bash it without showing proof or making a clear argument. Its very apparent you have no argument becvause you have to resort to bashing and curse words to make your argument while ive been totally respectful to you and the DC universe which I love as well. Dont mess with Stan lee because if it wasnt for him Kriby and Dtiko comics wouldnt be around today.

 

[Assassin]

OMG Dude i wasnt bashing Shyt, there my opinions and i dont have to prove shyt, thats why there called opinions. My opinions belong to me, and you cant change that. I like Marvel and Stan Lee is a Genious im just sayen its crap right now compared to DC cuz i think there aimen towards kids.

 

[Darthphere]

Thats the point theyre not aiming towards kids GOD if you just understood that then I wouldnt have a problem with what youresaying.

 

[Assassin]

In my eyes, yes they are.

 

[Darthphere]

How so? Thats I want to know.

Add a few zero's to that 10 and I'd agree. FF is the best book being published, I think, and the JLA is one of the worst.

 

[Assassin]

JLA Then not now i mean of all time, JLA had crappy story lines too (detroit) But FF come on! Its soo Cheesy!

 

[Azrael24]

darthphere:Have you read FF Authorative Action and Unthinkable? Read those and tell me if the FF arent interesting.

I haven't, I will find them and read them. The story imay be good, but the characters themselves aren't interesting to me. Just my personal taste.

 

[Darthphere]

Especially with you know who writing.

Me 2 thats how i feel exactly!
