sorry this is the reality. They are not a listers, at least not like xmen, spiderman, superman,batman are.
Blah, blah, blah.
Who gives a flying rat's rear?
My Comic Collection is Spiderman, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Defenders (Dr. Strange edition), Champions (hero team with Angel, Iceman, Widow, & Hercules), Ghost Rider, Tomb of Dracula, Ka-Zar. Thor. Stray editions of comics with characters I like such as Namor, Angel, etc. so Avengers with Thor & Cap.
DC heroes I collected?
Spectre, Creeper.
Why do I care if they are A-listers?
The comic shop owner tried his hardest to convince me I should buy X-Men because it was The Hot Title. Wolverine!!!!!!!!
I didn't care.
The only X-Man I really liked was Angel & they never used him well.
Since when is mass market the stamp of quality?
McDonalds?
Olive Garden?
That Marvel took their second string & made it gross better than the A-listers of DC & their own brand is yet another underdog feat they pulled off.
with a cinematic universe that a lister never needed. good you said gross since Disney made them more like Pixar that gross better than all comic movies and not like marvel characters from the comics.
better/made high quality is another story, a listers can make profit, have quality and have better movies.
mcu movies are so bad they destroyed the credibility of the genre. if not for real a listers putting out films like TDK, DOFP and Logan who knows what could have happened with the mcu pixar generic movies.
