Has DC got too much to handle in this race against Marvel ?
A friend of mine who's also into superheroes be it from the Marvel or DC universe...asked me the following question...
" Do u think it's going to be too much for DC to handle in this race against Marvel ?"
He feels that with the recent Marvel film 'Spiderman Homecoming which according to him was an okay film, perhaps only because it had Iron Man (Marvel's knight in shining Armour right now), and according to him he was used as a superhero inspiration dad like figure to Spidey! So the real question was if DC losing the spot of even fighting this race with Marvel....?
My reply is this: I haven't watched Spiderman homecoming. Simple! But, regarding if DC is losing out to Marvel... the truth is hard swallow but the truth is YES! DC is way behind marvel right now. Not just in the movie business but even on TV because, on TV Marvel has a big stock advantage right now over DC via their shows - Daredevil, iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and the soon to be launched Defenders and In humans.
Right now Marvel and their Netflix association are quiet literally running away and spoiling DC's chances for a strong fight. On TV for DC right now it is as such that Arrow's last season seen with mixed reviews...came close to be cancelled as well. Legends of tomorrow / Lucifer is just about okay nothing great, Supergirl is again okay! The Flash the only saving grace from the show is that the Barry Allen of the TV Flash seems to reach out an audience wherein they're able to connect with the TV Flash. The Flash from the movie universe..we cannot say much right now without watching the film first. Let's just hope there's enough juice for a fight with Marvel.
And then we have Gotham...perhaps the only DC show on TV that's truly epic. but, there again because, all the villains in that show is in Gotham...and in popular culture Gotham = Batman! simple straight forward!"
The above was my response! What do you think ?
