do you Marvel fanboys really have to use "shit" or bed-shitting in every line? That aside, if you could think you would realise:

"Inventing" something doesn't mean you are the best at it. Someone invented the horse and carriage, but the car is better.

This is a straw man and beside the point. And lol, it's a very silly and invalid analogy - the analogy is more DC invented modern fast food franchising, and MCU are currently running the most profitable junk food chain.

But yes, DC have invented the modern blockbuster CBM (with Superman, then Batman), and they also have the CBMs held in the highest regards by the general public. Just check the relevant popularity charts like IMDB (even now with MCU peaking the DC films are higher lol, what will happen when the bubble bursts?) or all the "Best CBM trilogy/CBM" charts.

Also, The MCU pushed CBMs beyond the CBM genre.

LOL, only in your fantasy. Generally, these films are considered forumalic CBM junk food sticking closely to their comic book roots. The films that push were Nolan, Logan, Watchmen or WW but certainly not MCU.

Wonder Woman is an anomaly. Curse breaker? What curse did it break?

Jesus, you are being deliberately obtuse? How about first ever successful female-led CBM? The few before were huge flops on all levels. That is curse breaking for you.

And the 2nd worse DCEU movie won an Oscar for make up. When the win for something that means anything then you can talk.

Cry me a salty river, pal. If you don't care about Oscars, what about beting every MCU movie this year at the prestigeous Critics Choice Award 2017 or at AFI (Movie of thr Year) etc? Sure that would mean something to you if MCU movies would have won, lol.

DC is not a multiverse.

Yes it is. It has currently several variation of the same character, eg. DCEU Supes, Arrowverse Supes, Animated Universe Supes etc. Not to speak of all the past manifestations.

The Arrowverse is a multiverse.

No it is not. This is a shared universe, like MCU.

They will never connect those shows to any of the movies.

That is indicated by the term "multiverse", genius.
