Marvel is better than DC

It appears as though there's a very discrepant knowledge of DC from Pro, which is disconcerting being that we are currently living in the age of information. To begin, I think I'll compare the information Pro and I know to show that Pro clearly hasn't done very much research prior to making this argument.A Long Time Ago in a Canon Far, Far AwayMy opponent asserts that the entirety of the DC universe, in the eyes of comic book fans, is "The Justice League." Let's look at some of the most popular DC comics and series. Stardust V for Vendetta Hellblazer Justice League Batman Superman Green Arrow Grifter Jonah Hex My personal favorite: Watchmen Something you'll probably notice: Only half of those are Justice League (and not even the best ones). Watchmen[1] is absolutely incredible.[2] So incredible, it's easy to see why my opponent would neglect it completely. More than likely, my opponent doesn't very frequently read comics published by DC. It seems a bit biased to consider one greater than the other simply because you've had more experience involving it. Then, of course... Circumstances "Although Batman is one of the most popular superheroes of all time, he is difficult to connect with. His traumatic childhood and dark embodiment are not as relatable as Spider-Man's average, problem filled days and quirky jokes." This is much too subjective an assertion in general, an assertion that, you could say, is "difficult to connect with." So, I will try my best to simply extract the objective argument here. "Dark and traumatic contexts make bad stories as they are hard to relate to. Average, problem filled days are what make stories interesting." Actually, this is a very good point. The other day, I was telling my friend this story. I woke up in the morning, and then, I tried to take a shower before brushing my teeth for once. This shower didn't start! I already knew this was going to be a problem filled day. When it finally started, the water was too cold, so I decided to undress while it was warming up, and my shirt wouldn't come off! And you might think we're already at the interesting part, but it gets better! After I finished taking a shower, I couldn't find any clothes, so I ended up debating this guy about DC and Marvel naked. Don't worry. I'll wait. Let that soak in. Man, if only every day were this interesting. Masterpiece. Then, we went to go see Titanic after that. What total bullsh*t. It was too dark and tragic. Some guy said this movie was going to get 2nd place in the Box Office in the US[3] and Worldwide[4]! I don't know how he predicted that, but he's an idiot. Notwithstanding the linear thought process my opponent has had, he decided to follow with... OP ...a joke. There's absolutely no way my opponent can be serious, here. "...it seems pretty cheap to give a single guy (alien-thing) every superpower..." So, my opponent is arguing that DC heroes and villains are too powerful. Wh-!? Can some clarify!? He's just messing with me, right? If not, we have at this point established that my opponent apparently not only knows nothing of DC comics and has done no reasearch, but doesn't even understand either the concept of being overpowered and/or the Marvel characters sufficiently. I mean, let's ignore for a second that one of the Avengers is a DEMIGOD with the ability to never die (which Superman, an aforementioned character, does not have), crush entire planets with sheer physical strength, and, umm...oh, right, MATTER TRANSMUTATION.[5] Let's even go and ignore one of the most iconic enemies of the Fantastic Four, The Silver Surfer, who can also destroy entire planets, transmute matter, and never die.[6] After completely disregarding these two, do we still have any super overpowered characters? Well, I can't think of any, other than Apocalypse (mind reading, psychokinesis, super strength [more than the Hulk, I might add], can fight all the X-Men at once)[7][8], Galactus (eats entire planets and galaxies, knows more than all the worlds he's eaten combined, created the Silver Surfer)[9], The Living Tribunal (limitless power)[10], and The Beyonder (this guy makes all the guys I just mentioned completely obsolete.)[11]. It's probably also worth noting as a footnote The One Above All who can make anything happen at any time and can completely manipulate all of reality.[12] So, let's neglect that Marvel's character are way more powerful than DC's and, once again, extract the applicable, objective argument. "The more power one has, the less interesting the story will be." To my opponent, I'd like to ask: Why!? Because you know who'll win the fight? Is that all that's interesting to you? The fight? Character development doesn't matter? Plot doesn't matter? Dialogue doesn't matter? Just the fights!? One of my favorite films of all time: Primer. There were no fight sequences. How unfortunate that such a great film would be completely disregarded by my opponent simply because you know the characters won't have a chance to lose any fights. One ought to look for more to like in a story than something as shallow as how intense a fight is. To bring back Watchmen, my absolute favorite DC comic ever, into the debate, it's worth noting that Dr. Manhattan is extremely powerful. He won an entire war nearly single-handedly. Does that make him any less interesting? He was the most interesting, yet undeniably the most unothodoxically relatable character of all the characters. He also had a rather dark past, which I won't spoil. It's unbelievably incredible and shocking how much research my opponent has done, or rather the lack thereof. I highly encourage my opponent to put more effort into his next round. http://www.amazon.com... http://watchmen.wikia.com... http://www.boxofficemojo.com... http://www.boxofficemojo.com... http://www.comicvine.com... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://marvel.com... http://marvel.com... http://marvel.com... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://marvel.wikia.com...
