DCEU has the advantage of having all their characters under one roof, while the MCU only recently acquired Spider-man. Fantastic 4 and x-men still havent been featured in the mcu. This has got to be embarrassing for the DCEU on several levels.

It was organised better and they took their time carefully to build everything up over time.
DC just seemed to rush into it without planning things well beforehand.

Probably because Marvel Studios took their time and Warner Bros tried to jump right into it with BVS.
We should have at least gotten a solo Batman movie before BvS.

WB/DC should have started with solo films for the characters before doing a Justice League. And after the mixed reviews for MoS, they should have fired Snyder.

Kevin Feige is a genius. The DCEU doesn't have a Kevin Feige.

It might also be that the Marvel characters translate better to screen, as they've always been more about flawed people who happen to have superpowers while DC always went for the "flawless archetype" way of doing things.
Even Wonder Woman, their only big success in recent history, still had the lead be a flawless archetypal character (no, being naive is not a flaw) who needed her supporting cast to be the flawed ones to generate any real humanity.

Instead of treating the world as a new thing, DC decided to just do popular stories. That world wasn't a thing until Avengers made all the moneyz and WB wanted that moneyz. And you can see that they don't want to even try to build that world. They embraced the idea of the DCEU in the beginning. But when it started falling apart, they said that it was never their thing. It's too haaaard to do work. Instead of throwing up popular on a white board they should start with an endgame and work backwards. What players do you want to use to get there? Build them up, then go for the goal.

why is the Nolan Trilogy or X-Verse better than the MCU. It's all highly subjective. Anyway, the first 5 DCEU films have more Oscars and Critics Choice Award than the 18 MCU films put together.
I think Deadpool said it best with "all I said was Marvel was trying to sell toys to 7-year-old boys and 50-year-old pedophiles.” We should be all able to agree on this at least.

why is the Nolan Trilogy or X-Verse better than the MCU. They're not, they just came out at a time when they had little real competition so people didn't know better. MCU competes against both Fox and WB today and wins. A Makeup Oscar and other awards it got for political reasons. And for pandering to the Academy instead of being bold. Plus they took the lazy way out (as usual) and made their first movies be about their Big Guns instead of something creative. Still disgusted with anything unpretentious, I see. This is why the MCU will continue to excel while Fox is crumbling to dust and WB is stuck in the past.

MCU competes against both Fox and WB today and wins. They officially are. Nolan Bat Trilogie alone is Top 5 or Top 10 in every Best Trilogy chart in the world. MCU trilogies are in- if at all - only found in the lower ranks (because they age badly and are incoherent messes as we know). Nolan is also in the top 10 of the top 250, MCU is invisible. Suck it up, samy, you cannot win against Nolan. And all that is at the current high of the MCU hype, guess what will happen when the bubble bursts... You know, Denial is not just a river in Egypt, but it's not half as salty as the one you are crying, samy. And if its all so easy that even dumb DCEU can do it why can't "better" MCU not achieve it after 3 times the movies and having FRESH characters, not old used farts like Supes and Bats...? Are you saying being disgusted with pedophilia is pretentious? We are not in ancient Greece you know.

Nolan Bat Trilogie alone is Top 5 or Top 10 in every Best Trilogy chart in the world. Thanks to nostalgia and a dead actor. And no competition in 2005 and 2008 to help people know better. Put the Nolan films out now, they wouldn't do as well...in fact nothing about Nolans' films really works nowadays. MOS and BvS are proof enough of that. If Batman Begins had come out next to Black Panther, Begins wouldn't have gotten as much attention. People aren't ashamed of stuff like superpowers or costumes or the hero actually being the lead in their own movie anymore. And if Ledger hadn't died, Dark Knight wouldn't have gotten half the attention it did. Don't have a dead actor boosting nor are they self-contained trilogies in the first place. Put out any of the Nolan films now and they wouldn't do as well...his style of doing a CBM is just the same way he does any of his movies (characters are all either archetypes or fanatics, leads driven by nothing but obsession, etc). He'd actually struggle with his films if he had to compete against stuff like Civil War or Winter Soldier or Guardians, none of which were ashamed of the source material the way the Dark Knight Movies were. Nolan couldn't write a story where the lead wasn't some obsessive if his life depended on it. This bubble has lasted longer than any of its predecessors. It hasn't self-destructed the way WB and FOX always has. Also the same thing streaming out of bitter WB and Fox fans who can't accept their way is outdated and past. As for Oscars...David Lynch doesn't have any either, you think he's no good? They don't pander to they Academy, in fact they thumb their noses at their outdated ideas of what a CBM should be. The Academy doesn't like that. That wasn't what Glover was saying, but you have this unhealthy obsession with associating comic books with deviants. You need to get over your pettiness.

You make it sound like all of them have awards. All the awards BvS got were negative. MoS got advertising awards (for it's posters). Nothing on Justice League. SS got make-up, T&A for Margot Robbie and music. All the actual good awards are from Wonder Woman... But Iron Man got 20 award wins and 65 nominations, while Wonder Woman got 17 wins and 46 nominations. And that's the MCUs 1st movie. Hmmph.

How deplorable, DCEU has! And WW in 2017 beat at all big award such as Critics' Choice the ass of all 3 Marvel movies like Fragglerock 3, Raccoon Turd 2 and Spiderboy 6 or even Logan? Yes, DCEU is really bad. Apart form this, what makes you fanboys really cry like Thor when getting a haircut is that NOLAN blows all that away anyway. NOLAN! Your new avatars sucks raccoon balls btw.

You must feel the same way about David Lynch and his career. Had serious political shielding to ensure it got recognition. The Critic's Choice people knew it'd be suicide to not give her those awards over the other films. Nah, he was just lucky he didn't have to contend with Black Panther or Civil War Winter Soldier. If he had, his movies wouldn't have had much of an impact. If at all.

I gotta put an element of luck in there. Marvel fans should be thankful for it.
Would there be an MCU if Marvel had Spidey, FF, and Xmen? I wonder.
I think Feige had to come up with something for Marvel to do differently because they were trying to make it work with B list characters. Just speculation here because he is a comics fan and comics fans have talked about a shared universe for decades. So that's probably something he wanted to do anyway. But it had to help that he couldn't make Spider-Man and Xmen movies. I mean....look at WB and DC. Them having the big names has been a negative for their DCU.
Marvel being smart enough to hire Feige is worth noting of course. That's not luck.
But there is usually timing and luck involved when something as game changing as the MCU happens. Several things usually have to fall into place.
Now the rest of Hollywood is trying to catch up and they are faring badly. Not sure how they are all missing how Marvel did it. The WB execs must be a special kind of stupid to just shoot for the final goal while skipping the obvious steps to get there that Marvel mapped out for them.

Let me know when there isn't a huge argument every single year about which movie "should have won" all those awards. We've yet to ever agree on them. What do awards mean? Daniel Day Lewis has a roomful of them and I doubt anyone will remember his name in 50 years. Meanwhile Cary Grant will be remembered forever and never won a single Oscar. All this bragging about "Nolan" hasn't changed that the CB genre has not followed in the footsteps of the Nolan trilogy. Instead the MCU changed the genre.

I am dead serious and you would not get those über-sensitive nipples if it was not true. NOLAN is the new bigger than Kubrick. His films will be revered when the MCU will be long despised and forgotten. His movies are in all Best lists unlike MCU, his Bat trilogy is in all Best trilogy lists unlike the broken, messy MCU films. NOLAN wins. MCU has changed the genre indeed. From a respected Oscar worthy NOLAN-CMB genre to downgrading it to mass produced, formulaic kiddy junk food pandering to the lowest instincts by dealing with raccoon turds, dance offs, hide-the-zucchinis and Fragglerockers. With a few exceptions such as LOGAN, which rhymes with NOLAN however. Do not try to fight the man! I tried. It's futile. He is just too strong. His ouvre is too unique and important. NOLAN!

NOLAN is the new bigger than Kubrick. Kubrick's memory will endure long after Nolan has crumbled to dust. Nolan is transient, like Titanic's popularity.
