Review to compare marvel and dc

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2017)

To start this off. Steppenwolf was never supposed to be super powerful. Superman can handle him with ease. The movie was bringing together the team. Darkseid will be a formidable opponent. One of the criticism was that Steppenwolf was a run of the mill villain who wants to take over the world. Let's compare this movie villain to Marvel movie villains. All marvel villains want power. Vulture, Loki(ruling asgard), ultron, Ronan, Apacolypse, Ajax, so on and so forth. All of which barely have a story. Like Loki. The only story they gave him was that he is a jealous blue adopted child. And they literally have used and abused the character as a laughing stock and a completely predictable villain. Actually I don't remember which marvel villain was not predictable and with a great backstory. If we are criticizing one movie for something but praising another movie for the same thing we just criticize how is that a valid reason to not like the other movie. And the movie is telling a story. The movie was rushed and the cgi was not that great. But when Whedon came in the picture he reshot several scenes and so of course when you have a deadline to meet it wouldn't be perfect.
Another argument I saw was that dc needed to be more marvel and a few saying they need to be less marvel. Same people who keep saying dc is too dark complain that they are trying to be too marvel. One of my favorite things about dc movies is that they try to keep these characters as close as they can to who they are. They don't take one character like the guy full of quips Tony stark who doesn't act that way most of the time in the comics and then make every character become Tony stark and now everyone is shouting quips and people laugh about it because that is not that character. Like when did thor become mister comedy. They literally rehash the same character and slap a different name on them.
The movie moves around a lot but that's what happens in comics. It moves around. Things are happening all over the world. This movie has flaws yes. But it does a good job introducing these characters as best as it could in the 2 hour window it was given.
Thing is I love both marvel and dc and can forgive marvel for its issues. But as I said if you criticize one movie you should not be kind to another for its flaws. It's use reusing avengers 1 for avengers2. I'll evenbreak it down. Villain story comes up super evil. Things get hairy. Now the someone in the avengers has an issue with Tony stark they battle (thor vs Ironman) (hulk vs Ironman). This problem Hinders them from stopping said villain. Villain army shows up almost destroys world or town and itsleft to Tony stark to try to sacrifice himself. Oh throw in those funny quips. Also kill quicksilver in the most dumb way possible by making him pick up a car that weighs way more than a child and his mother instead of just picking both of them up and out of there and now he's shot and dies.
The team is always upset with Tony stark and there is always bad blood with him but people want to talk about superman and Batman's issue.
The forced love between Bruce banner and black widow. Continued Arguments between the avengers that's lasted for 3 movies now and still continuing. But people eat it up.
Wonder Woman was a decent movie but I'd give it the same rating as this movie. At what point was anyone afraid of ares? At what point did they give Wonder Woman a large amount of character development? It was still a great movie as marvel and as dc can make.
*spoilers* maybe.... This movie had me laughing a lot throughout the movie and enjoying myself with all the little things like when there was a green lantern and someone who had the powers of Shazam. The movie was entertaining and I was so amped watching Superman grabbing Batman and calling him out on what he said in the last movie. It has me excited for what dc has in store. They are moving to bigger and better things!
