Why does it feel like the DCU is being held to a much higher standard than the MCU?

0 Upvotes

I came across a video a few weeks ago discussing the double standards between Marvel and DC, and honestly, I think they made some really good points.

Look at how people are treating James Gunn's DCU compared to how they treated the MCU.

The DCU is only five projects in, and four of them have been successes. The only real exception is Supergirl, and even then, I wouldn't exactly call it a disaster.

Yet somehow, people are already saying things like "The DCU is a flop," "Cancel the universe," and "Fire James Gunn."

Now compare that to Marvel.

During Phase One of the MCU, The Incredible Hulk underperformed, and the first Thor movie wasn't exactly universally loved. But nobody was demanding that Marvel cancel the entire MCU or fire everyone involved. People gave the franchise time to find its footing.

And look at some of Marvel's more recent projects:

  • The Marvels
  • Captain America: Brave New World
  • She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
  • Secret Invasion
  • Thor: Love and Thunder

All of these received significant criticism, with some being considered among the weakest projects in the MCU.

Yet despite Marvel having multiple poorly received projects across an already established cinematic universe, people generally aren't treating every disappointment as proof that the entire MCU needs to be shut down.

Meanwhile, DC apparently isn't allowed to have even one underperforming project without people immediately declaring the whole universe dead.

Please tell me if you think this makes sense because its just baffling to me

What do you all think of The Mask 1994?

29 Upvotes

In my opinion, it's one of the best love letters to musicals even though it's not traditional.

It respected the cartoon medium.

Originally it was going to be R first rated like the dark horse comics but they switched halfway through when they saw the potential for comedy. Jim Carrey brought.

And somehow kept many great references to the arcs of the first few issues and issue zero of the original dark horse comic run.

I do plan on ordering the comics after I saw a few videos talk about them.

Decided to make this because I've seen complaints of people saying there's no marketing of the film. So, it's up to us to make edits, share photos, get word around! Much love 🫶.

Why did some people back during the Phase 1 times debated if Hulk's only solo film was/wasn't canon to the MCU despite it being Referenced in Avengers 1?

I been living in jakarta so started watching them out if boredom, it's pretty fun. it's a connected universe based on old indonesian superhero ip. Even Virgo and the Sparklings which you can tell was rushed through production has a certain charm to it.

I like overdesign in superhero suits

2 Upvotes

I'm gonna clarify this is mostly about the MCU, but also not really because I mention the Amazing Spider-Man.

I don't get why people hate lines. I don't care if they're not comic accurate or if they have no reason to be there, I fucking love lines. I love them. They look great, I don't get everybody shitting on them.

Spider-Man Homecoming. That suit is amazing, I think it's one of the best Spider-Man suits ever, obviously the Brand New Day suit is better, I'm not dense. The Amazing Spider-Man suit? Chef's kiss, please could I have some more? Iron-Spider in the MCU? Way too shiny, but if it wasn't so disgustingly shiny I'd love it.

And this isn't just about Spider-Man, I like the Captain America suit from Age of Ultron, I dunno if that counts as overdesigned though I've heard mixed responses on that. I liked the Taskmaster design. I also liked the Fant4stic designs.

And yes, I'm a fucking larper, I've read one random Spider-Man comic I got from my uncle years ago, and yes, the comic designs are great, but sometimes they just wouldn't look good in live action. Maybe that's a bad take, and a take spewed everywhere, but I don't care I think it's valid and lines are cool.

I just think overall, the overdesigned costumes are still cool. I'll die on this hill.

logan is basically a western and i don't think it works any other way imo

they literally show shane in the middle of it and she says the line at the end. no portal, no team, no city blowing up. just a tired old guy, a car and a kid he didn't ask for. would the same ending hit if it was a normal x-men movie or was the western thing the whole point???

It absolutely has issues. But I loved the comics as a kid, and to have gotten a film, just makes me smile.

With the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones films. I don't see why a reboot of this hasn't already been done.

4th wall breaking is not a good concept.

0 Upvotes

4th wall breaking in superhero films and/or comics is the worst concept to be introduced. It completely breaks the immersion in the film and takes you out of the narrative. So much effort is put into making these stories engaging and somewhat believable, but all of this is completely undone when a character breaks the 4th wall. The fact that the person knows that it's fake just means that that none of what you're witnessing matters at all. Sacrificing the plausibility of a world just for a two second joke is not worth it.
