With the popularity of the DC movie "Joker", Marvel movies have once again been pushed to the forefront. Many big directors stood in surprisingly unanimous line and fired on Marvel movies. "Angry Bull" director Martin Scorsese called Marvel movies "not a movie, more like a theme park", "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola called Marvel movies "despised", Ken Lowe Qi even criticized it as "boring, just a profitable commodity."
The comparison between Marvel and DC has never stopped. It’s just that Marvel’s popularity has been too high in recent years. DC’s consecutive "Batman vs. Superman" and "Justice League" have been popular and box office. It seems to be fighting. Weak. It is undeniable that Marvel's commercial films still occupy the mainstream position in theaters. And since the Dark Knight trilogy of Master Nolan, DC has been sluggish day by day, and there is not much work that can be achieved.
So what are DC fans still insisting on?
Superhero
No matter how hot the Marvel movie is, so far, there is still no other hero's influence that can surpass Superman and Batman.
As everyone knows, Superman is the first superhero to appear in the history of American comics. His appearance marks the beginning of the golden age of American comics. It is precisely because of the existence of Superman that everyone has the concept of a superhero, and his influence is beyond doubt.
and Batman is the first superhero without superpowers. His appearance has also opened up new ideas for many latecomers in the comics industry. It turns out that ordinary people can also become heroes.
Before 2010, the two heroes that everyone knows most are also because they have the most film and television works. DC tied the big tree of Warner early and developed the film industry wildly.
And Marvel didn't have that much money, and found another way to make money by selling copyrights, laying the foundation for the later superhero movie universe. The familiar movies of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" in the early years were all sold by Marvel.
Therefore, in terms of the spread of superhero images, Marvel is one step behind, and the images of Superman and Batman are more deeply rooted. The depth of
content
I always think that the statement "Marvel has no depth and DC has depth" is wrong.
lists a few chapters that everyone thinks DC has more depth, "Heaven Comes", "The Dark Knight Returns", "All-Star Superman", "Batman First Year", etc., most of which are related to Superman and Batman.
The birth of Superman means "God has come to earth", and the appearance of Batman means "God has appeared in earth". This pair of them condenses all possible conflicts in human history, and contains all the emotions in human history.
As a god from the universe, Superman wants to become a man, but Batman, as a man, wants to become a god. This contradiction is inherently invincible, because there is no more romantic heroism than the two of them.
Unlike DC's "Man-God Contradiction", Marvel is more inclined to discuss the contradictions and fetters between people. Iron Man and the US team, the US team and the Winter Soldier, even the two aliens Thor and Rocky, have a more human relationship.
Therefore, there is no difference between the two. It's just that DC brings more freshness and impact to the audience. The discussion about the depth of the film should start after the release of the "Dark Knight" trilogy directed by Nolan. Especially the clown played by Heath Ledger in the second part is deeply rooted. Director
took the superhero movie Yi to another level and made many audiences more demanding for this type of movie.
In order to live up to expectations, DC has been exploring this area. "Superman vs. Batman" is one of their experimental products. Unfortunately, after the movie was released, bad reviews were flooded.
However, after the film was opened on the whole network, more and more people began to understand the intentions of Director Zac, and the scores rose all the way. The plot has risen from a popcorn movie to a discussion between man and god.
Of course, the "Justice League" that changed director midway is really bad.
Now DC is starting again. "Joker" is their touchstone. The double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth has undoubtedly strengthened the confidence of DC universe movies.
and Marvel, after the end of the first chapter, also started a new movie regulationDraw. Who knows which one will be stronger in the future?
