- From the corporate logo depicting the iconic superheroes to the supervillain's flying robot army to the post-credits sequence, Justice League takes its lead from The Avengers, and the comparison does not flatter the current film.
- DCEU is floundering. It needs to find a bold new direction if it ever hopes to flap its wings, let alone compete with Marvel.
- It isn't nearly as much fun as The Avengers was, but it's not a total loss either, the way Batman vs. Superman was.
- Justice League is a sloppy team-up film that doesn't even take time to properly introduce pivotal members of its titular team, but when you're playing a dangerous (also ill-advised) game of catch up, these are the risks.
- To its detriment, Justice League constantly invites comparisons to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- ...imperfect but another clear step towards the DC Universe taking its rightful place as Marvel's equal.
- Justice League boom tubes onto the playing field to finally challenge Marvel Studios' comic book movie dominance.
Some of these are actually from positive reviews, but the trend I'm getting at here is clear. The cultural awareness that Marvel is the boss that DC can only aspire to be is clearly cemented in place. And not only that, but the appetite for DC to even continue trying to catch up is significantly waning. The number of people who want more Marvel and will eagerly hope for or at least willingly participate in a good version of whatever widely varied version of it comes next, numbers in the practically everybody range, while the number of people who give a shit if DC ever even attempts to make anything else is starting to get dangerously close to the only truly dedicated fans type of numbers.
There is a clear market slide going on right now, and I am telling you with 100% sincerity that if DC doesn't get it's act together tomorrow, and I mean first fucking thing at the crack of dawn, they are going to wake up in just a few short years like Blockbuster Video and the American Classic Indoor Shopping Mall Industry, and realize while they were sleep walking through they last decade they inadvertently loaded a shotgun and put it in their mouth. They have to scrap what they've fucked up and recommit to a well orchestrated direction or they are fucked with a capital fucked.
well duh.
anyone that does not think critics are a lot harder on xmen and DC movies are delusional. you guys do know that most of the mcu movies are all mixed in reviews but will still rate as fresh unlike a X-Men or DC movie ?
slap a marvel logo on Justice league or power rangers and they will rated as fresh in the 80s or high 70s. Slap the MCU logo on Logan and the film would have remained at 100% fresh. DOFP will be in the high 90s as well if there was a mcu logo in front.
As martin scorese once said, film criticism is now a joke and rt does not help at all. MCU is to blame because this is the one series that the critical reception makes zero sense. How senseless is RT? Dr Strange is rated higher than Nolan’s 2010 Inception.
Yo, mcu fanboys! tell us how Dr Strange is actually a better movie than inception? I would love to hear it.
