Ah, I finally found it.
TEXT:
Earlier this week, one of our readers submitted a Collider Mail Bag question: “Why are people very critical of DC movies?” While she conceded Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad had “many flaws,” she deemed both of them “fun” films before considering Thor: The Dark World, not one of Marvel’s best but was still given a pass by fans and critics.
It’s a legitimate question, though perhaps a more accurate one should be, “Why are people biased against DC movies?”
....
Collider’s Sinead De Vries theorized it’s because we have something drastically better to compare it to: Captain America: Civil War. Marvel adapted one of the most riveting, exciting pieces of the comics for a smackdown between Team Cap and Team Iron Man. It was fan porn at its finest. It was also essentially the same concept behind BvS, which came out a few months earlier: two iconic superheroes fighting each other because of idealogical differences.
The only problem was, again, Marvel executed it better.
....
Now, we’re living in the golden age of superhero movies with films like Captain America: Civil War, a diversified slate from Black Panther to Captain Marvel, and the prospect of Avengers: Infinity War. These have upped the ante considerably, which is why when we don’t see the same from DC, we’re quick to poo poo the films. I wouldn’t agree with the Collider reader when she theorized that if Thor were hypothetically within the DC wheelhouse, fans would be more quick to bash the films. I would say, however, that if BvS came out during 2005 alongside the first Fantastic Four, more people would have found more joy in it merely for the fact that we didn’t know any better at the time.
Also working against DC is the Dark Knight trilogy, which still casts its shadow over the Extended Universe Warner Bros. are trying to create. The studio is now scrambling to infuse humor into Justice League, a funny thought considering they produced probably the most successful darker-tinged superhero movies of all time. Again, Zack Snyder didn’t execute the tone and story better than Christopher Nolan.
Are people harsher with DC than Marvel? I’d say so, but it’s only because we’ve conditioned our palettes a certain way by feasting on high-quality offerings. When we’re then presented with something that doesn’t taste as good, that we can’t savor, that doesn’t make us want more, it’s easy to spit out, because we know there are far better selections on the menu.

In other words, DC-Fan actually just supplied more evidence that the DCEU is lacking in many regards, shooting his own argument in the foot.

I don't think you know what the word "proof" means. Also, explain again how King Arthur and it's probable $25 million OW spells trouble for GOTG2 and it's $60 million+ weekend gross.
