1. Marvel has created more hero teams.
As long as we list a series of superhero teams in Marvel movies in recent years, it is not difficult to explain this point. First of all, of course, the Avengers. The Avengers may be the most well-known team in the Marvel universe. There are also X-Men and Fantastic Four. Not only these teams can have a lot of different combinations, Marvel also has secret fighters, alien races, Alpha Team, Guardians, and more. However, compared with the team created by Marvel, DC's Justice League and Teen Titans are still slightly inferior.
2. Marvel characters are more likely to come back to life.
For so many years, Marvel allowed many of its characters to sacrifice in order to reproduce the glory of "Death of Superman". One of the more famous cases is "The Death of Captain America". The storyline revolves around the assassination, which represents the United States. Unfolded by the Avengers. The X-Men series is also unobtrusive, sacrificing many major characters, including Jean Gray, Wolverine, and even Professor X. This is to enhance the drama of the story, we understand, but they rush to the street from time to time, the tension of the story will be greatly reduced, let alone they will be resurrected in a few months. Based on this speculation, it is only a matter of time before even Spider-Man's uncle comes back to life.
3. Marvel loves to make trouble.
is not to say that there are no major events in so many cartoons in DC. For example, the super-interesting "The Flash"; or the "Death of Superman" in which a man watched silence and a woman in tears, but such incidents are still rare. But this is also good. On the other side, Marvel does things almost every year, causing the entire universe to be turned upside down. In "Captain America: Civil War", everything changed when he beat his own people; in "Secret Invasion", the heroes found the Skrulls pretending to be them, and everything changed again; then in "Dark Dynasty" The heroes find out that the villain is pretending to be them, and everything changes again. Marvel relies on intersecting story lines to promote the development of the entire plot. However, DC has made major events more influential, such as "The Flash: Flashpoint".
Fourth, the dark side.
The two companies are similar in expressing the dark side of their beloved heroes. However, what is more interesting is that the two sides have different grasp of the dark side. For characters like the Punisher and the Daring Man who always fight alone, Marvel retains the more extreme side of their character. And you rarely see them fighting with any famous pair of Marvel. And DC directly put Batman "Dark" knight in focus, and his popularity and influence determined the decent style of superhero comics from the beginning. Even if there are often spoofs, sometimes even nodding too much. There is no doubt that DC puts "darkness" in a pivotal position.
5. DC's cartoons are second to none.
Whether it is cartoon or animated film, DC is undoubtedly better than Marvel in this field. This is not to say that Marvel does not produce as many cartoons as its competitors, but that DC produces usually high output and good quality. Marvel has also produced some excellent works, such as the X-Men and Spider-Man series of animations in the 1990s, and some works have been well done after that, but there are still too few high-quality works in Marvel. And DC knows exactly what he is doing in this respect, and there are so many high-quality animations that DC fans are almost overwhelmed.
6. DC has a longer history
Long before Spider-Man put on his own exclusive suit, DC had already customized uniforms for some heroes and villains. Although the two companies started at the same time, it took almost 30 years for Marvel to become famous. Long before the first book of Fantastic Four was placed on the bookshelf, Superman could soar into the sky, Batman could already walk around on the roof, and the Flash was as fast as lightning. Many of Marvel's brilliance are based on heroes created in the 1960s and 1970s. And the DC comic heroes we still love today have long been there.
Seven, DC's independent stories are more
about how the two companies have discovered how writers and painters can produce new stories every month, which we admire. This work was already difficult enough, and DC can free up time to write so many independent story lines. Alan Moore's novel "The Watcher" opened his mind and challenged the style of the media. Shocked the entire comics industry and introduced deep thinking. And Gritt Morrison also broke the convention and wrote "Arkham Asylum". Compared with the past, he analyzed the dark ride from a psychological perspective.The relationship between Shi and his fellow criminals. We like the mainline comics of the traditional monthly update, but sometimes it is great to be different and bring freshness. DC is like this, and it makes us excited from time to time.
8. The locations of DC works are mostly fictitious, and Marvel's selections are biased towards reality.
From Gotham City to the metropolis to the central area, the locations in DC's works are all based on real cities, but you will never find those places on the map. Although these fictional places give DC more room for creativity, we still appreciate that Marvel uses the real world as the background to make the film more authentic. Both approaches have their pros and cons. In fact, Marvel has to work hard to make its universe consistent with the real world. But realism and idealism, the personal appeal of superhero stories, has become a major contradiction of Marvel.
Nine, Marvel has more plots and roles that are in line with real life. When
talked about the problem that the more real the more fascinating, the two companies encountered the same contradictions and situations. Marvel's attempt to connect with the real world is obvious to all. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Marvel wrote a story for Spider-Man, the American team and other characters to help rebuild their homes after the severe damage. It seems that everyone feels angry and lonely like Batman, and the human hatred of mutants in the X-Men is a great irony of social discrimination.
Ten, Marvel’s movies are countless
With blockbuster films such as "Iron Man", "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Captain America", Marvel has set off a wave in the film industry. And Marvel let its movies follow the same main line in the complicated story line. Let each role play to their fullest and establish a real connection between them. Even before this great achievement, Marvel has already proven itself in the film industry with the "Blade Warrior" series "X-Men" and "Spider-Man". DC has also released many great works, such as the original "Superman" in 1978, and the "Dark Knight" trilogy that stood out. In recent years, DC has also tried to follow in the footsteps of Marvel, but the results are somewhat unsatisfactory.
do you agree with us? What do you think is the biggest difference between Marvel and DC?
