Marvel Vs Dc comics. we all have heard about this argument. This argument has been going on for eons. I wish this type of argument can be sorted out with no stress but no, that is not possible. There is so much feud between the two. Both have been on top of the movie and series industry for a long time and because of that there has been this rivalry ever since then. I am in favor of marvel over dc comics and I am not one of those marvel fanboys that is going to argue blindly.I believe that the marvel universe is trying to take complete control of the filming industry but dc is not allowing that to happen. Although the dc universe don’t have enough great movies to back them up, they have an amazing fanbase and wonderful comics that even marvel is trying hard to keep up from time to time but I still prefer marvel and I have my points.

Marvel release more movies than dc. Yes, that is a definitely true and that actually boost Marvel in its favor. We can’t say that having more movies necessarily means marvel is better but it helps they’re case, like 3 out 5 marvel movies in a year make big hits in the filming industry compared to dc releasing 3 movies and those 3 movies only 1 is likely to be a big hit. Now the reason being that is simple, marvel have the ability to draw the audience with their movies. Most likely they use 2 of their movies as decoys for the main blockbuster movie but it hardly shows but if you look at dc its completely different and pretty sure thats where they are lacking. Sometimes quantity and do justice over quality but marvel have both in that regard. Dc is lacking in mainly quantity.

Another reason I would like to add is marvel is lighter than dc and what I mean by that for those of you who don’t understand is basically marvel can be enjoyed and loved by everyone without feeling age restricted whatsoever. Dc is known for their dark background and yes why its legit low-key cool and all not everyone fully and truly understands that most people would say marvel is for kids while dc is for men, why that is completely wrong considering there is also a lot of bloodshed and darkness in marvel. Its how marvel took less of that ‘darkness’ and used other things for there story. If your a die-hard marvel fan you would know that marvel studios went through a complete make-over over the past 10 years.

Its more fun and enjoyable and extremely funny. Thats the difference.

Dc more or less tried mainly to use that darkness and it backfired its only now in recent times that dc is goin with a marvel approach where the character itself is not completely dark but also has a humor side. I guess you could say they are only now learning what to do in the filming industry.

One more thing I would like to point to is marvel is better in not also making films than dc but also series and believe me I am definitely right. Dc what they really have going for them is not there movies really its they have decent and commendable tv shows. I know am a marvel fan but currently thats what I have to say about the dc comics but still you cant compare to marvel series. Although, the marvel series themselves aren’t really all that good its still better that half of the dc series currently and its obvious that the dc comics try to put in more effort towards that perspective to help boost their views but its still lacking. Marvel on the other hand is rather doin the opposite and its actually working out for them. I really don’t now how that is possibly but the numbers and facts don’t lie on how many people stream marvel tv shows compared to dc comics.

Now am pretty sure that after reading those points and facts yourself you would also consider thinking is there really anything dc have done that Marvel haven’t already done.

Marvel have done a lot of astonishing things over the past few years and this year also like having made the most expensive superhero movie ever and also got one of their movies known as The blank panther the richest superhero movie ever. Over a billion dollars was gotten from that movie now that is what you call amazing and over achieving.

But dc comics on the other hand, its hard to actually say. Over the years they have been some fantastic movies from dc but its not as much as marvel. But most dc fanboys would argue that marvel stole some of their characters especially those characters that have now appeared on screen but funny thing is that, it is actually true, same goes for the marvel fanboys, where as dc stole some characters from marvel also and the marvel fanboys are pissed about that.

The thing is Dc comics is actually older than Marvel, some say that dc comics weren’t really dc comics till after the founder Malcom Wheeler-Nicholson died. If you don’t know this fact and you call yourself a dc fanboy I suggest you go brush on the history of dc comics before you try to start an argument. Same goes with the marvel fanboys am sure all you pretty much know about marvel is Stan lee the man who has featured himself in almost all of marvel movies and he is the chairman of marvel. I, a marvel myself would be completely disappointed and dissatisfied considering anyone with internet and a phone can google those facts and easily become a marvel fan. Marvel is five years younger than dc comics that is a fact go look it up if you didn’t know and am pretty sure u didn’t know dc and marvel both share the same trademark for the word ‘super-hero’ and thats actually a huge thing by the way.

There was a point where in the mid 80’s Warner bros considered licensing the publishing rights for dc’s characters to marvel because dc were going broke, marvel passed on that offer. Imagine if that actually marvel accepted that offer I guess you would say there would not actually be a fight between marvel and dc considering the fact that marvel would own dc. Scary thought I know!!.

So, its not that I am being completely biased about the marvel universe being better than dc universe. I too have my share of good memories from dc but they are still lacking and they have a long way to go to catch up to marvel. I still believe dc in the upcoming years will produce some amazing movies and series and am counting on that hopefully marvel might even be scared of them but I doubt that might happen but then again anything is possible. Even the impossible.

A sharkfull event

The Meg

I would have to say that this movie has to be one of the best shark movies I have seen in a while don’t worry I guarantee no spoilers but just hints for those who have not seen the movie. If you have seen the movie I suggest you watch it again, because watching this movie once is not enough for me I will personally say.

Lets start with Jon Turteltaub, this is by far the best work I have seen from him as a director. Out of all the movies he as ever directed The Meg was by far the best, considering he has done other action movies like the National Treasure, which was basically his best work over 10 years ago. How he was able to make this movie one of the best shark movies still shocks me considering this is his first ever shark movie and the cast was kinda of surprising.

I never really did expect someone like Jason Statham to take such a main role in this movie. His character though was quite compelling I would say, a bit pessimistic and daring. Basically a human being in real life could not pull the shit he did unless they were trained and it didn’t look like his character was a shark trained personnel, that part of his character really didn’t make sense. And as for the other side characters like the female love interest, yes as expected there was, and other side characters which I would say am not impressed with honestly my opinion they could have done better.

I have watched a lot of shark movies but most of the other shark movies try to please the audience too much and that actually backfires. They tend to lose the audience either by adding so many characters you forget who is who, so that the shark can kill a lot of people or having a very complex background story that leaves you to wonder “ahhh really”. I personally am fed up with that type of cliche shark movies again and again but THE MEG is different in that sense. It takes a whole new perspective of how the basic storyline of a shark movie is suppose to be which is actually great, its unprecedented, unique in some sense and because of that its literally grossing through the charts world wide making it one of the biggest shark movies in this century(careful a bit hyped at that last sentence). I honestly believe that if you have experience watching shark movies you would like to watch it again, just to try and look for flaws in the acting or graphics because watching it the first time you would not even bother about that because you will be so focused on how the movie is going about than the rest of the other things.

How they were able to make the shark so real is another thing, yes it is to be expected at this day and age, but the shark itself was jaw breaking and amazing. It was so life like it was scary when it just popped out, like out of no where. Most part of the movie was like that and it would seem that the production crew were running out of ideas but apparently the movie switched gears towards the ending and I have to say I was kinda surprised and so was the audience. The hype, thats what died down, the meg had a lot of teasers but really I expected more considering the hype.

Okay, yes this movie might be the best shark movie in the last 10 years or so but I still have my fair share of disappointment after watching the movie. Yes, I loved the fast paced action and the well timed thrills but I personally think they could have done better and gone the extra mile for a movie that’s almost 2 hours long, although they did try to put in some comedy which essentially is great and all but it was lacking, it seemed that the comedy was kinda forced trying to make the audience laugh too much which it did not get that much response from me or the other people watching the movie with me, do not get me wrong, the comedy did change the atmosphere a couple of times but I would say it was a tad too much. It’s kinda of a bummer when the storyline shifts a little but it was just okay for the meg I guess. I think they were just trying to elongate the story and time considering they were rushing some parts which I noticed and I was kinda pissed.

The Meg had everything overall from the well timed thrills to the fast paced action to the heartbreaking drama to simplistic comedy and amazing sci-fi. I would definitely say that it is a movie that is going to beat, not just as a shark movie but as an action packed movie that can even rival the marvel and dc comic movies. It would seem that am just basically another shark fanboy but am not, but I do have my fair share of shark movies over the years but it is a must watch for shark lovers and sea lovers. What I most admired about THE MEG was how they were able to reach almost any type of audience from teens to adults to even middle aged people. It is indeed a must watch movie if your looking for thrills.

So basically, I would say that I am impressed with Jon Turteltaub, I never would have thought he could pull something this big in the movie industry.
