Is there even such a thing as Marvel exclusive fans? Every fellow nerd I’ve ever known has been into both. Of course everyone has their favorite, but it changes often. I used to love DC more, then Marvel, then DC, and so on.

And as a side note, maybe it’s fun to have a different take every once in a while no? Maybe not every Batman movie has to be darker and more depressing than the last. I love Batman forever cause of its campyness, and it doesn’t diminish my love for other Batman movies.

Yeah I used to love the whowouldwin sub on Reddit because it would have ridiculous takes across all fictional universes.

Nothing like someone with serious comic book knowledge describing a singular moment in a singular comic book 10 years ago where character a did the thing that would beat character b.

The general take on that sub was that basically Batman could beat anyone, in any universe, as long as he had prep time and knowledge of his opponent.

Because he’s Batman. And Batman has the meta power of being most writers’ favorite.

Yeah I know very few MCU exclusive fans as well. They loved the Spiderman and Batman (Nolan trilogy) movies as well. Hell, I think a lot of audience members forget which universe superheroes are in.

Actually yes. I met many girls on tinder or saw girls on tinder that they are super into marvel and marvel is better than dc. For people who care less, it appears to be all the same.

I never really got into the DC series, the overly serious and “gritty” tone just didn’t resonate with me. There are definitely people who are heavily invested in one universe and not the other.

There’s plenty of non serious, light hearted heroes and stories in the DC universe since it’s so big, same with Marvel, which can go really dark with the max series like punisher, you just gotta know what to look for. I love silly shit like Howard the duck and she Hulk comics, but even Superman has a few really good and not broody stories like Superman all star.
