DC without a doubt. Despite Marvel having a lot better movies, (I loved Infinity War) I personally find the DC characters much more interesting and complex. They have also produced some of the greatest comics of all time (which is my preferred medium of consuming these stories). I love Spider-Man, but every single other character I consider great is from DC. I get that a lot of people like Marvel because of the movies, which admittedly, are very impressive, but as someone who has always preferred comics and animated movies, DC will always be my favorite.

When it comes to the movies, I definitely prefer Marvel. My favorite Marvel movies so far are Infinity War, Endgame, and Captain America: Winter Soldier. I also read comics, and I love comics from both DC and Marvel. I like the grit of the DC comics, and I like the fun of the Marvel characters, especially Spiderman.

Marvel. DC just has too much involved with too many movies that are poorly made. Comics aren't want I read. I like spider-man: Far From Home the best.

Marvel
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

I used to love marvel. But after Stan Lee gone, I just think the creativity of marvel has gone too. Especially, after they remove Christan from Thor, I was really shocked. I was a big fan of both and now there is nothing left for me in marvel. I even quit watching movies now.

I am a huge Marvel fan! I love the characters and how well developed the entire series is. However, I have never read the comics and wish I could. I know theres a Marvel comics app where you can read everyone of the novels but there is a subscription fee. When it comes to DC films though, I fall asleep every time I watch them. They are super boring and every character seems to be very monotone.

Marvel has done such a good job building their brand in the mainstream. While Superman and Batman etc. we’re more recognizable in the past, Marvel tapped into something by having each movie and show build upon itself.

I have not read the comics, but if it comes down to the movies, I choose Marvel. The marketing vision they had when making the MCU is absolutely fantastic. Most people only focus on the fact that they only did that to earn money but I think that DC had that opportunity and wasted it completely. Though DC characters are good, and there is no match to Batman or the Joker, for sure. But if I had to choose, it would be Marvel. :D

Marvel is my preference. It's what I grew up on, and it's always what will comfort me the most. DC is cool too, but there's a lot less characters I care for in that universe compared to Marvel's.

I'm just watch "what if" series. That was just awesome. Especially episode third. Marvel series are best for me.

It's hard to pick between both cus they both do justice to every character and scene. I think if there's a merge between them both, the turn out would be massive.

Definitely Marvel, maybe it's because I haven't read the comics. I only watch the movies.

I dont read comic books. But based on movies, my opinion is that Marvel is way better. DC is trying, but I feel they are just not on par
