Actually he called it "god damn stupid" but I couldn't title that because reasons. It's a shame that the comments section boiled down into another pissing contest between fanboy zealots.

I agree with him completely. I love both franchises (always have) and want them both to succeed. I'm just a fan of superheroes in general.

I don't even understand why it exists. Same with Star Wars/Star Trek. Plenty of great stories and characters from all of these franchises, I don't want to choose a side.

Of course its stupid sad thing is its mostly over the movies not the companies. In a way. It's more about directing criticism elsewhere. If we start talking about the DCEU and I say I don't like how they are handling the DC movies besides Wonder Woman. The retaliation from people who do like how they are handling them is to redirect to the other. There is never a "You are wrong and this is why." There is always "Well, the other is this and this is why." There is no real rivalry/war between Marvel and DC. Just people wanting the other to look bad.

He looked hotter as Fandral, but I love swashbucklers.

They were commenting that DC-Fan was banned from Marvel board so the other regular haters were missing him & I thought "I havent been to the DC board in awhile". Not seeing all the hate threads here. It is stupid. I WANT a good Superman movie. For those who liked Man of Steel, whatever, but it wasn't Superman for me. Superman, like Captain America, is a product of another era & one really needs to keep that in place. No one thought of him as an illegal alien or a threat outside of criminals. He is supposed to be our better angels, what we can be at our best. Let Batman be the suspicious of everyone hero. But people seem to feel its an attack on them to disagree with their opinion

That's a pretty good poster actually. I originally hated his costume but now it's growing on me .

I don't even understand why it exists. Same with Star Wars/Star Trek. Plenty of great stories and characters from all of these franchises, I don't want to choose a side. I imagine it started something like this: Ancient fan 1: I love all comics... but prefer DC a bit more. Ancient fan 2: I love all comics... but prefer Marvel a bit more. AF1: Oh that's nice. But tell me, why do you prefer Marvel more? AF2: Well I like DC too, but Marvel is *reasons*. How bout you, why do you like DC more? AF1: Oh I like Marvel too, but DC is *reasons*. Don't you think so? AF2: Well, that's nice. And yes, DC is nice, but I have to disagree because *reasons* AF1: I see your point, but respectfully, I have to disagree because *reasons* AF2: Ok, ok... but regarding your point, I think you're wrong. Marvel is better because *reasons* AF1: Now hold on a minute, DC is better because *reasons* AF2: Woah, I think that's reaching a bit. Marvel is better because *reasons* AF1: Hah! No way, man. DC is better because *reasons* AF2: Sorry, not buying it. Marvel is better because *reasons* AF1: Ok, now you're just being biased. DC is clearly better. AF2: Who're you calling biased? You don't need to be a jerk. Marvel is *reasons* AF1: Oh so now I"m a jerk just because I like DC? *argument devolves into a catfight. Rinse and repeat over a few decades and that's how we got here* Anyway, my point is that I'm pretty sure this rivalry started out as a very friendly chat about a few guys who love comicbooks stating which comics they liked better and why. Evolve that argument over a few decades, include quite a number of anti-social nerds into the mix who love their comics, and you can see how we ended up with this rivalry today.

A huge majority of the people trolling the Marvel board are the same people going out of their way to defend the most nit picky things on this board. It’s a complex of some kind. And weird raptor was a perfect example of vice versa, and that hobowar guy.

He was here a lot bashing BvS Yes but he never posted on here as much as he posted in the MCU board. He didn't post as much anti DCEU stuff as pro-MCU stuff. Compare that to DC-Fan who spends way more time in the MCU board than the DCEU board.

Plenty of great stories and characters from all of these franchises, I don't want to choose a side. honestly, I cannot remember a Star Trek vs Star Wars rivalry and I posted a lot on scifi boards. If it was there it's so subordinate and a minority topic that it's negligible. Take this forum, do you find a real thread on this, and if so, any toxic fanboy bickering?

I can remember in the 90's a little bit of bickering in the nerd shop I managed. Usually it was someone loving Star Wars and only liking some of Star Trek or vice versa. There were some people that were worse, but this was in person. It's harder to be pissy and confrontational in person than with the anonymity of the internet. Some general snobery and some insults of intelligence nothing I had to threaten banishment, but I did kick some people out of the store for the rest of the day to calm down.

It's mostly tribalism for some fans. For them there can only be one. We see it in other fandoms, gaming is a big offender in this as well.
Maybe one day this attitude will go extinct.

It never will as long as there are at least 2 things that are similar. There will always be someone that likes something over another. Even if there is only DC and Batman and Superman are the only heroes left, people will be fighting over who is better.
