and then convinced her to watch them with me. I thought I'd share what her opinions were about the movies. But first a bit of backstory:
So me and my wife made friends with this lady about a year ago, she's in her mid 30's. Anyway, I found out she's never watched any MCU or DCEU movies. In fact, she didn't know what Marvel was, just that people kept talking about it so she was curious. She had never even heard of DC.
So we started bringing her along with us whenever we watched superhero movies and tried to catch her up on some of the ones that have already been out for some time (Netflix and stuff).
What was the result? Her top 3 favorites were:
Black Panther
Wonder Woman
Thor Ragnarok
We haven't watched Avengers because it's not on Netflix but I assume she'll probably like it. She was so-so with Infinity War because she felt it was too busy and had too many characters with too many action scenes. We watched Venom because she said she liked Tom Hardy, but she said the movie felt like it was in a completely lower tier than both MCU and DCEU movies. Like it was a TV movie instead of a blockbuster.
What I found interesting though was that, without even knowing which movies were MCU and which were DCEU, she ended up ranking all the DCEU movies at the bottom of her list other than Wonder Woman. In fact, she mistakenly thought Wonder Woman was MCU. When I explained to her which movies were Marvel and which were DC, her response was "Well then I definitely like Marvel more than DC".
Anyway, we're watching Aquaman again on Sunday, I'm pretty sure she would have forgotten by now which company Aquaman belongs to (despite having already watched Justice League). I'm curious how she'd react to the movie considering it looks to resemble MCU movies more than previous DCEU ones.
