Marvel does seem to have the deeper interest in characterization while DC does seem to be about the power sets. Yeah, the characters are better, but the whole thing is better really, including the super being's abilities, the stories, the normal human characters, the fictional and real location depictions, sub-plots, story arcs, villains both major and minor and so on. The one thing DC has over Marvel is that generally over the years their stuff has translated better to film, until recently. Christopher Reeve's Superman and the latest Batman for instance. Marvel seem to be catching up in that department now with the Avengers, Iron Man and Spider-Man. I think one of the problems with Marvel film adaptations in the past is they just didn't have the technological capabilities to pull the whole thing off. Iron Man is almost perfect the way it's been brought to life, they never could have done that in the 70s or 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Jun 3 2012, 08:28 PM) Who's familiar with the Marvel superhero Northstar? He was a Canadian guy. the writers intended all along for him to be a gay character, and they were finally "allowed" in 1992 to have him come out. Now he's with the X-Men. Long story short: Marvel already beat DC to the punch, by about 20 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northstar Yeah, that's all true but I think the ONLY reason he was created to be homosexual is because there was a lack of "character" in those Alpha Flight characters at that time (late 70s-early 80s). They were basically the punching bags of the X-MEN in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
