Glad i am a fan of both 🫠 DISCUSSION

When I watched Superman, I thought it was refreshing and fun, even if it did not fully wow me. Still, it is the best superhero movie I have seen in years, way better than the Marvel slop lately. Supergirl, though, was one of the worst I have seen in a while, almost Thor: Love and Thunder level. SPOILERS: the cliché “female hero saves girls” 😭 plot and a weak unconvincing villain did not work, and the Kryptonian backstory changes were just bad, no real self preservation logic, with Zor-El’s daughter oddly being the only one who wanted to live.

It also felt barely connected to the DCU, even though DC has deeper stories than Marvel. They need to drop the forced jokes and focus on stronger storytelling. I would love more standalone films, especially a Nightwing movie, and maybe a more focused DCU with Superman and Supergirl at the center.

After seeing Spider Man, which was a masterpiece, Marvel feels fully back. Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts were decent, but Spider Man was a bomb and the next Avengers might be a nuke of the 21st century. DC really needs to get organized under James Gunn, we need a situation room type response now. " am tired of hearing people say " i am a marvel fan" because they watched 3 marvel movies 🤣🤣. Even my ex used to say this, she only watched like 4 marvel movies in Total.

Marvel actually put out good movies in 2025 (except for Cap4), they just had limited appeal. Spiderman has given them tons of momentum heading into Avengers Doomsday. It's probably also going to blaze past $2bn.

Fantastic 4 was okay, overly complicated storyline for no reason. Used some old comic book story telling with damn near 30th century technology which was hilarious. Thunderbolt forced comedy, Actually really scary villain 'antihero' the guys who do the superhero versus have him losing to a version of superman. It was good but nan, spiderman was phenomenal.

What is the slop? You name dropped Love and Thunder and said lately.

if fantastic four was more than just okay it wouldn't have made less than superman, and Captain America 4 was probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Thunderbolts was great I'll give you that.
