well, the marvel movies are more successful and thus have more fans, or more vocal fans cause they feel more justified in their position.

Yeah, they've got a massive hivemind going. Even when Marvel Movies share the same flaws as a DC movie, it gets praised more, which raises suspicion over Disney, but Marvel fans eat it up.

Joker doesn't count as part of the extended universe.
Most of the ratings are more positive with the audience than critics. Critics just don't want to like Snyder in general. It's pretty much expected that any movie he puts out that's not Dawn of the Dead will get mixed to poor reviews.
I was just talking DC-based movies in general, which is why I threw Joker in.

The Marvel movies are just flat out better in every aspect

Ah, it does get confusing with the back-n-forth.

But those movies served a purpose and I like the 3rd Iron movie

I was a marvel reader as a youth so that does matter in my ratings I've only recently started reading DC

Critics didn’t like 300 and Watchmen? I probably misremembered and assumed they did, especially 300. To me his first three movies are far and away better than anything he’s done since. And I gave the DC stuff a fair chance. I am looking forward to Army of the Dead.

The Iron Man sequels, Avengers 2, Guardians 2 are the four I’ve seen that I thought were trash.

300 and Watchmen were in the mixed category.

I find rewatch value of Black Panther my 3rd all-time comic character low. The Claw should of been the antagonist in that film

Watchmen's still my favorite Snyder movie though, in spite of the mixed response it got.

The ones I haven’t seen are the Thor movies, Dr. Strange, the Ant-Man movies and the new Spider-Man.

Lol I can see Watchmen being divisive but what was the problem with 300? Did they understand it’s not supposed to be Ben-Hur or Spartacus?

I enjoyed Ant-Man more than I thought I would. I didn't think it was fantastic, but still pretty fun. Haven't seen the second one, though.

I don't remember. I just remember being surprised because of all the buzz it had (word of mouth), then I saw the RT score only a couple years ago and was like, "huh?". I didn't dive in on reading. I was already annoyed with RT at that point for getting exposed for fudging their numbers.
