    The document argues that Marvel is better than DC in three key areas: 1) Marvel movies are more financially and critically successful than DC movies, with Marvel movies grossing significantly more at the box office and receiving better reviews. 2) Marvel characters are more relatable and realistic than DC characters, which tend to be overpowered and lead to more predictable storylines. 3) Marvel features a more diverse range of characters and storylines compared to DC, which relies too heavily on just a few characters like Batman and Superman without introducing new heroes.

    Marvel is better than DC

    For nearly a century, Marvel and DC have set the bar for the term 'superhero'. In fact, they have

    created the term. These companies never cease to amaze with their forms of entertainment, and

    in doing that, they have remained unparalleled by any other company. There have always been

    comparisons between the two companies and who is better at what. I, the writer, will argue that

    Marvel is leaps and bounds, better than DC and I am quite certain that it is a very popular

    opinion at that.

    Marvel are clearly better writers than DC in terms of movies. Marvel, over the last decade and a

    half, has become the kingpin of the box office, just by looking at how accredited the movies are

    and how much they gross, whereas unfortunately, DC is extremely far from Marvel's kind of

    success. Marvel movies are loved and appreciated by many (including myself), when DC are

    receiving bad reviews for their movies. A standout movie out of DC's collection, Justice League,

    would gross around 600 or 700 million dollars, whereas Marvel's standout movie is the second-

    highest grossing film of all time, with a whopping 2.789 billion dollars being grossed globally.

    Marvel's characters are far more relatable than DC's. Marvel brings realism to a fantasy world to

    allow fans to connect to their movies as much as they did. Marvel has more realistic characters in

    terms of their personalities and consequences, which makes comics and movies more intriguing,

    whereas DC's characters are generally known for being overpowered, hence their comics and

    movies are very predictable. An example of unpredictability from Marvel was Avengers Infinity

    War, where shockingly, the villain had won, whereas in DC's Justice League, they had brought

    Super-Man from his death with a strange cube and people expected the return as DC were

    reluctant to show a hero's vulnerability and sacrifice to be justified as a hero. Seemingly, DC see

    a hero as a hero only for their powers.

    Marvel's choice of characters and their use is more diverse than DC's. Marvel has countless

    comics, movies and spinoffs on unique or relatively unknown characters that fans get to know

    more of and to be excited about, allowing fans to fantasize with Marvel’s infinite depth of

    characters' connections to each other, making their entertainment lineup more unique than DC's.

    Marvel also brings light to all kinds of communities and cultures around the world and these

    communities are somewhat inspired by these heroes, such as Black Panther and Shang-Chi and

    the Legend of the Ten Rings, whereas DC repeats movies with the same characters, such as

    Batman, Super-Man and Wonder Woman, making fans question the depth and the lifetime of DC

    entertainment with their reluctance to add new characters. This might be the reason as to why the

    movies are not grossing well, as fans might want new characters to learn about and enjoy.

    In conclusion, Marvel regularly delivers, while DC upsets. In this day of age, it is clear that

    Marvel is more dominant that DC and it was not as tight as it used to be. The perceptions of

    superheroes have changed over many years and Marvel has been able to keep up with what

    everyone wants. While DC are sticking to their once flawless recipe, the ingredients have

    reached their expiry date. I hope I was able to convince you if you were not convinced already,

    that Marvel is clearly better than DC.
