I love both, but I'd be lying if I did'nt say I had a big preference for DC.
Nowadays everyone is a super hero fans. Yet no one knows a thing about them. My point is that ALOT of ppl claim to be fans yet they judge solely on big screen movies. There is two type of fans, casual wannabe fans based only on the blockbuster movies, and ''real'' fans who have a opinion based on every different media and whom truely know their stuffs.
If we look all across Comic Book, Animated movies, TV shows and blockbuster movies, I can't say that everyone would prefer DC, but atleast I can claim that most ppl I know (if not all?) that consume every media, has a preference for DC.
I believe DC has more iconic heroes, way better villains. Bigger stories with higher stake. And they make me feel way more emotionaly involved.
When it comes to movies, I think Marvel movies are really overated. They are great ''candy'' or ''fast food'' movies that aim for the lowest common denominator. But they are not great movies imo (with exceptions). Avengers was just an action fest with close to no story (altho really entertaining), Age of Ultron tried to replicate the formula but the wow factor was gone. Worst, they ruined the mood, the villain and the feeling of serious stakes with lame jokes. (How am I supposed to feel emotionaly involved about the world coming to an end when all these characters keep making jokes while fighting).
Capt 2 was great imo, It had a good story, great stakes and not to many jokes to ruin the mood. I also loved Guardians of the Galaxy cause I felt it was funny just right. Hated Capt 1 and Iron Man 3. Enjoyed the two Thor movies more than I think I should have.
As for DC. I loved Man of Steel. And everyone I know who saw the movie also loved it. I can't understand why the internet is so much against it. It was emotionaly involving, with a great villain that had great motivations (and did'nt do jokes all the time). Great action, not to much and not to little. But I feel ppl are way to hard on DC movies while everything Marvel tends to get a pass. Story wise, more than half of Marvel movies are weak, betting on great action, jokes and hype to carry it. Yet I see few ppl blasting them. Green Lantern was'nt a good movie, but it was comparable to a few Marvel movies. Yet everyone is shitting on Green Lantern. It was comparable to Hulk and Thor movies imo. If Green Lantern was a Marvel movie and ended with Nick Fury meeting with Hal Jordan, that movie would'nt of taken as much bad rep as it did.
Imo, when Marvel have the quantity of movies, they don't beat DC in quality globaly. The Dark Knight Trilogy is ages above everything Marvel did. I thought Man of Steel was better than over half of Marvel movies (altho I guess I'm the minority here). And ppl tend to forget (or just don't know) that Watchmen and V for Vandetta (two of my favorite comic book movies of all time) are both from DC.
