97% of what comes out of Hollywood is equivalent to fast food, some of it slightly tastier and better-prepared than others. If you want to give your head nutrients you don't look to Hollywood in the first place. Nobody who can read without moving their lips is ever going to think that either the Marvel or DC franchises have any redeeming intellectual content. What about The Dark Knight, Logan or Spider-Man 2? Nobody who can read without moving their lips is ever going to think that either the Marvel or DC franchises have any redeeming intellectual content.

The Dark Knight has more thematic depth than pretty much every movie nominated for Best Picture in the last 15 years.

Actually the MCU is pretty much the definition of "fast food" films imo . You have Disney/marvel & that shit stain Kevin Feige just shoveling out mindless shit to the masses since the beginning of this decade. I mean come on , what the hell is so memorable about the vast majority of those MCU films?? All of them have the same generic formula .
At least WB/DC has TDK trilogy .

Not a very good analogy really.

That would be true if DC actually made their own movies. They don't. Warner Bros does and when DC writers write their own adaptions like Paul Dini did with 'Arkham Asylum' and 'Arkham City' they have been superior to anything the DCEU and MCU have made. DC Rebirth is on a completely different level than the DCEU and makes most of the movies look like garbage so it is not surprising the MCU are beating the DCEU 'cause the DCEU has been nothing more than the equivalent of poorly written Peter Pan and Robin Hood adaptions and any comic book company that had Time Warner's bank account could beat them now. The funny thing will be if Valiant Comics Shared Universe is more successful than the DCEU.

An MCU movie is a like a good, juicy cheeseburger. It's not exactly high-class food, not exactly healthy either, but it's tasty and juicy and you get some guilty pleasure indulging in it. It doesn't pretend to be anything else other than a cheeseburger but they'll make the best cheeseburgers around. They'll even include some fries, drinks and a small salad on the side for free.
DCEU movies is like cooking a burger patty, putting it on a plate with mashed potatoes, covering it with gravy, serving it in a dark restaurant, making you eat it with a knife and fork.... and then claiming that they just served you a steak.
In the end, they're both just burgers. The main difference is that MCU accepts that it's a burger and makes the best damn burgers around. The DCEU tries to change the way the burger is presented so they can pretend they're something more than just a burger.
