The Red Sox were considered the top franchise in MLB in 1919, having won 4 of the past 8 World Series and 5 World Series overall (most at that time). Then the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees, who hadn't even been to a World Series yet. 4 years later, the Yankees won their 1st World Series in 1923 and would go on to become the most successful franchise in US pro sports, winning 27 World Series overall. The Babe Ruth trade was obviously the turning point that started the Yankees on their path to surpassing the Red Sox as the most successful franchise in MLB.
Similarly, MCU had Patty Jenkins as the Director for Thor: The Dark World. But Jenkins left Thor: The Dark World because MCU dictator Kevin Feige refused to give Patty Jenkins the creative freedom to make the movie that she wanted to make. So MCU got another Director for Thor: The Dark World and Thor: The Dark World turned out to be a disappointing stinker of a movie.
Patty Jenkins signed on with the DCEU to be the Director for Wonder Woman. Now Wonder Woman is a huge critical and commercial hit and is the greatest female-led superhero movie ever made. Patty Jenkins leaving MCU and joining the DCEU is the turning point that starts the DCEU on their path to surpassing MCU as the top CBM franchise. Now even Joss Whedon (Director for The Avengers) has abandoned the MCU ship and jumped onto the DCEU bandwagon because he knows that the DCEU is heading to the top.

Does this really need to be put on 2 boards? Do you think this is that an important/interesting observation/comparison?

Babe Ruth also had a huge strike out record, which does not bode well for Jenkins if the parallel holds true.

Okay she's a great filmmaker, but she's not the Babe Ruth of comic book movies. I don't know who is, but it's not her.
