Not to mention DC touches a lot of themes. All it takes is one theme to be something your touchy about and they slam it. Take Man of Steel. I can see a few reviewers giving the movie a rotten score just for the two small scenes in a 2 1/2 hour movie that simbalized Superman as Jesus. But the movie had 10 other themes going on that were integral to the story that were executed perfectly imo, yet they got turned off by Jesus. |
That's true. Superman has always had religious symbolism that has offended those who are religious. Hell in the pilot episode of Smallville Clark is strung up in the corn field in a matter that almost looks as if he has been crucified.
People who are offended by such imagery are just going to dislike DC properties no matter what DC throws at them.
I like both DC and Marvel mind you, however, I do find that there has been a strong bias towards Marvel as of late.
Marvel has some excellent films in its backlog, Deadpool being the most recent. People will probably think this is blasphemy, but I disliked The Avengers movie. I didn't like its depiction of Loki, and they definitely did not handle the Hulk properly. There was also never any sense of threat within The Avengers. Watching the movie, I always knew everything would be okay. There was never a sense of impending doom or threat. That and they tried to make every scene have a catch phrase. The jokes were overkill.
The first Iron Man movie was excellent. It managed to balance both suspense and humour.
Deadpool can get away with mostly being funny, because well... its freaking Deadpool, what do you expect?
Daredevil is such a good TV series. It is dark, gritty, and yet it still has the just the right amount of humour thrown in that it doesn't take away anything from the actual theme of the series.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice looks like it will be an incredible setup for the Justice League. Those who say otherwise are (for the most part) Marvel fanboys. They will typically hate on anything DC puts out. The same thing can be seen in the console space. There are some console owners who wish that there console of choice would be the only one to have some sort of success. It is as if they feel threatened in some way if their preference is not always number 1 on the radar of other individuals.
"How do you like such and such? You should only like this, because I said so. Everything should be like this because this is what I like, and people should do as I say. If you like what I don't like, than you're an idiot" - this is essentially how I view a lot fanboys.
