I know this is a beaten bush... But I really would like to hear your opinions about which comic book universe YOU prefer more, and why. This isn't a "which is better" thread, it's simply to share your opinions about which universe you PERSONALLY like. I'm pretty sure all of us are close enough to not flame or bash people for their likes and dislikes on this forum, so I'll go first :3
I prefer Marvel by far. But I honestly dont know why. It just seems like I connect to it. When I read/watch/play anything that relates to the DC universe, I don't seem to really connect with the characters. Yeah, the Batman movies are amazing. And I love them. And I absolutely loved the story on the DC Universe Online MMO. But the fact remains that for some reason, when something relating to DC is REALLY good... I think to myself "Man, if only this was a Marvel piece. Then it'd be perfect." Heck, I still prefer the Punisher movie over the Batman trilogy. And that came out about 10 years ago or so, didnt it?
It might be because I grew up on the X-Men. The X-Men and the Turtles were my superheroes when I was a kid. I would dream of watching Shredder and Magneto team up against the X-Men and the Turtles in an insane crossover with lots of empty pizza boxes in the Xavier Institute. Not to mention what a time Raphael and Wolverine would have. Or what Magneto would do with Shredder's crazy contraptions like the Technodrome.
But that got a bit off topic. I just dont know why, but I connect with the characters better in the Marvel universe. DC just seems too widespread, erratic, and crazy for me. Dont get me wrong, Batman is awesome. Superman is awesome. Joker is beyond awesome. But I just dont seem to connect with them. Its like watching complete strangers fight to save the world in DC. And with Marvel, its like watching my closest friends fight to save the world. Guess which one has me on the edge of my seat mostly
So yeah. That's my view. What about you guys? Just opinions, here. Please dont troll me lol.
