This DC-Marvel Feud...

A fair point, Len, well-taken, and something I took into account when making this poll.

I eventually posted it here because I know a lot of Marvel fans also post here, and I guessed, from general sentiment, that we have more Marvel fans than DC fans here--so I didn't want to give Marvel a home field advantage. I tried to balance the scales, as it were.

I hoped that the anonymity of the poll format would prompt more honesty, regardless of what one writes. It doesn't surprise me that we're reluctant to write that the feud is "justified," but I do want candid feedback. I'd like to know where we all truly stand.

I've been considering this "feud," and I posted this poll, because I never exactly saw anything like it before. There were always arguments, I know, but mostly good-natured ones; when these movie universes came out, it resulted in something else--this. Human beings do love to argue, and if not about something vital--say, politics, or religion, two of the three unutterable subjects--then about, say, film, literature, or comic-books. 

Does that mean that it may well be a good thing, or at least human nature, as salomonj implied and onethreetwo wrote? There is merit to that argument; duking it out about superhero flicks may well be expected--"human nature." And yet--and yet--we've seen cases, especially with sports teams, in which fandom becomes worse, and even minor cases--name-calling, for example--lead to bigger deals. Thus my plea for civility, a forgotten virtue in an egalitarian age. Thus, too, would I like to see actual numbers, actual thoughts--and this poll.

I know I rambled a bit (I've a tendency to do that), but I hope it explains a few things.
