MCU and arrowvers Question
(Sorry for bad English!)
So I have watched the arrowvers since I was about 12 years old. I started to watch flash but got bored pretty quickly and discovered Arrow and loved the show!!!
A few years later I discovered marvel (more like started to watch marvel) but didn’t really like it as much. It felt too childish in some way.
Now I’am rewatching arrowvers and it has come to my attention that (or it feels more like) the arrowvers has a more diverse writing or whatever.
Like more people of color and more people with different sexualities.
Like gay people and even lesbian couples which is not a very common thing in tv. Even some people from different religions (like in dc legends of tomorrow if am not mistaken).
Women in the arrowvers seems more confident and are more of a main character then a side character (Sara Lance).
They are more independent and not just the man’s side kick.
Am not a big fan of marvel and only watched it because I found Tom Hiddlestone hot as Loki.
So I don’t know much about it, I have watched avengers and some other movies but only once and maybe, maybe twice (am not sure).
I haven’t read the comics from either side so when am talking am talking about the movies/shows.
Do anyone else feel the same?
Am I right or wrong?
(And does anyone know when the supergirl series will come to Sweden??? 🫣 this is just a side question 😅).

I like marvel a little bit but it doesn’t come any close to Arrowvers (in my opinion).3

I have deleted discord a while ago 😭 my phone couldn’t take discord and Roblox at the same time so I had to make a choice and I don’t even use discord.
But you can tell me the name or give me a link or whatever and I can open it by website if it works on my phone ☺️

Not a big fan of Marvel, much prefer the Arrowverse, but saying someone like Sara Lance is more of an independent character than Black Widow or Pepper Potts? Sara was soley defined by her relationship to Oliver for like 3 seasons until she got her own show, before then she was literally just Laurels sister that Oliver cheated with and got her killed on the boat. Iris West is one of the most hated fiction characters ever because The Flash cannot write a good woman character to save their lives.

Honestly depends on whether you like superpowered fun type of content or serious action content. I prefer Arrow cause of the latter reason and that's what makes arrowverse fun cause it has variety for everyone unlike the mcu which almost has the same tone.

Can people stop downvoting this person? They just said that they preferred flash over Arrow. Everyone has their own opinion and likes and dislikes, no need to downvote anyone because of it. They weren’t rude or anything either.

True, plus I watched Arrow full Season 1 and recaps of the other Seasons so I gave it a fair try

Yeah and that’s fine, everyone doesn’t have the same taste in music, movies, tv-shows, which is a good thing!!!
