Oh, so this is where you can dump poison into the well freely? 

 

Hmm, I feel particularly mischievous and in a stirry mood today so

 

 

 

 

Eh, that's all I got. Peace out then. 

The DCU has a rivalry with shield on which one is  worst.

Sure. But I don't see the point of Nolan vs. MCU. I don't bring up Raimi's Spiderman vs. DCEU. It's in the past.  There is a new Batman and a new Spiderman now. 

 

It's the whole of DC VS Marvel , there is a point in bringing anything from now and the past.

Only because the present is so hilariously lopsided.

That's not the point. I didn't say "marvel vs nolan". I said "MCU vs.  Nolan".

Blade helped develop an interest in Marvel movies but X-Men's success lead on to Spider-Man which was even more successful.

 

As much as Feige and fans might want X-Men in the MCU, I personally think they work fine on their own universe. The Fantastic Four which I think Fox would be more willing to give up the rights would be a better fit in the MCU

Speaking as a MCU fan, I don't want the X-Men to be a part of it. Even in the comics the X-Men stuff and everything else coexisting is kind of wonky.

 

Woulda been cool to have Jackman's Wolverine in one of the Avengers, though.

It's interesting that this thread's title has Marvel listed first. Despite DC being before Marvel if we're going by alphabetical order and the fact that DC existed before Marvel, Marvel still is first in the title.

The present has only two movies ,I actually loved BvS but disliked MOS. And no , I have no problem with the present ( even when I was disappointed with some things ) and I'm looking forward to what comes next. These characters will outlive directors , writers and proved to stand the test of time. They are the first superheros and I will always care about their past , present and future. Just because I brought the past does not mean I'm hiding from the present no matter how much you'd like to think so

Marvel also crush DC in merchandise and comic book sales.

 

but we'll just ignore all that.

Yeah, I mean, in theory I could understand why people would hate mutants, but love the Avengers, seeing as Mutants are a different species.  However, how would the general public (in the comics) know who is a mutant and who is a mutate?  Doesn't make sense.

Yet, we're going to see Marvel do that with the Inhumans. So they're still going in that direction, but substituting the Inhumans for the X-Men.

He's got a vision -- for a ton of mediocre movies, with a couple good ones mixed in here and there.

 

If it's so easy to have a critically and financially successful cinematic universe than why do most fail?

 

And Sony, WB, and Fox have put out close to ten superhero movies each.

 

How many have over 89% on RT, cause King Feige is going on five.

 

How many have made over 1.3 billion WW? King Feige is going on four.

 

Marvel Studios is more successful than most major studios. Sony, Paramount, and WB would kill for Marvel Studio's current portfolio.

I never said it was easy, just that Marvel's chosen to go a very bland route, IMO. Nothing wrong with that, of course, and I understand some may feel differently than me.

Going to do that? They already did.

The best shared universe is the Lord of the Rings universe.

 

3 movies, perfection.

 

...

 

Oh wait, it's actually 6 movies

Haven't Marvel treated the X-Men comics poorly despite the fact it's their best selling line. Apart from Wolverine, we've not seen any X-Men in any Marvel related animated series and games either.

 

I don't really blame WB for focusing on Batman and Superman as that's the best selling superheroes they own, I suspect if Marvel had the rights to X-Men and Spider-Man then they would have taken priority over Iron Man, Thor etc the fact they didn't was actually a good thing.

Yep, at least on tv. The problem is that they aren't nearly as interesting as the X-Men and sometimes even come close to seeming like a X-Men rip-off. They're just too similar and yet lack all the mythology of the X-Men.

I say all this as a big fan of Agents of SHIELD; one of my favorite tv shows at the moment.
