I'm pretty big into the MCU right now due mostly to RDJ's portrayal of iron man and Tom Holland's portrayal of spiderman (and OF COURSE Chris Pratt, who nails every role he takes on). Deadpool is also one of my faves, you absolutely cannot beat that movie ( and just deadpool's character in general, anti-heroes are great).

Even though Deadpool and the X-men are split from the MCU I love how streamlined and consistent in style the MCU has been despite having different directors for most of the films. It makes it feel more like a book/tv/comic series than a movie series (which I'm more of a fan of since it's difficult to tell a story an audience can get really attached to in 3 hours). It's very expansive so it's easier to actually get invested in the characters and plotlines.



I wish DC could get it that together, but it's just not working out for them. Man of Steal was kind of horrible and so was Batman vs. Superman, though Wonder Woman was actually a good movie, so that inspires some hope. DC's tv universe isn't doing too well either, all their universes take themselves too seriously. While Marvel doesn't shy away from being edgy when it feels like it, the total dark atmosphere of DC's movies makes it difficult for you to care about the characters. They're sold firstly as gods rather than as people, every story these days are about chosen ones and people who are more powerful than everyone else, it's just boring now. There are very few stories with really realistic, relatable, humanized struggles. That's one thing I loved about Spiderman: Homecoming. It was a film about a kid who SUCKS at being a superhero, it was more of a coming of age story than a superhero film. It allows for a tremendous amount of character growth in the future, and I'd say most people who saw the film connected to the character one way or another.
