A friend turned me on to Stan Lee comics movies about 10 years ago. Have yet to be disappointed. Watching Aquaman right now. I am an old kid that still enjoys Stan Lee`s creations. Do you old kids out there still watch that kind of Genre? Not sure many would but it would be interesting to see how many do. When I was growing up, my Dad would take me to a comic book store and I would get Casper, Donald Duck and others. I still smile when I think of that special day at the comic book store. Added a poll with Marvel or DC. You can select both answers. I liked both but I prefer Marvel.  Stan Lee was hilarious doing a cameo in his flicks. God rest his soul. My topic includes comics and movies. |

In my teens, I read various Marvel comics a lot. There were so many titles that I followed. But only one DC, that was Green Lantern. When i got out comics, I went to a comic shop in Nashville to sell them. I had a lot of high value ones. Made quite a bit off of them. |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

No evil shall escape my sight. Let all those who worship evils might, Beware my power, Green Lanterns light! Chuckles. Stuck with me through life. I didn`t have to Google it. Hope you are doing well. |

Hal Jordan deserves better. DC fan here. |

Had the Marvel Universe series which just listed every character and the abilities they had. Also had a short biography. When I was at the local comic shop looking for like the 4th or 5th book, I discovered Dark Horse Comics. Due to the Alien Series covers. Was mainly into the Aliens, Predator, and Grendel stuff. |

| What’s DC got; Superman, Batman, and the Wonder Twins? And don’t even get me started on AquaMan. I’ll give Wonder Woman a pass, but Marvel has got them beat hands down. |
ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.

Hey folks, know how to get a very heated debate going? LOL! I`ll bet the Hulk could whip Supermans butt. No. No.No.No.No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am JUST KIDDING on my comment. A friend of mine who hangs out on comic movie boards said that some VERY heated debates got going over subjects like this. I have no desire to start something like that. Let`s don`t. OK? I will have to say that Marvel and DC have done a great job using CGI and good writers in producing their movies. Not at all displeased with the movies that they came out with. I think though, IMHO, I lean more towards Marvel with DC coming in a Millimeter behind. I like them both. |

DC for me. Lynda Carter / Wonder Woman was my first love at the age of two. Seriously. I wanted to be Steve Trevor. I still receive Wonder Woman presents decades later. Attached File |

She is older than I am now by a few years. Always loved her eyes. |

Never really got into comics. First comic book stuff I remember was watching a VHS tape of these ones from the 40's  SUPERMAN CARTOON: The Mad Scientist (1941) (HD 1080p) | Bud Collyer, Joan Alexander, Jackson Beck After that I'd say Batman was my favorite cartoon. Dark, more serious, and Mask of the Phantasm is still an awesome movie. Honestly I still dont know which ones are Marvel vs DC, beyond the more recent movies. |
When the going gets tough, the tough go cyclic.

Huge Marvel fan here. I got in to other comics (manga, Image, Dark Horse) but Marvel is a big portion of my collection. I’d do DC from time to time if one of my favorite artists went over there for a guest spot. |

I could actually read, so never got into comic books. Would thumb through a few (like Superman or Aquaman) rarely.Now Hardy Boys? I could knock that out in an hour in 3rd grade. Can't stand the movies now. My dad is always asking if I've seen whatever the latest one is and I'm always reminding him that I don't like them. |

I always liked the cheap comics like "Magnus, Robot Fighter." Attached File We may all be robot fighters soon.  |

She is a dyed-in-the wool liberal but a very gracious lady. We have had a couple of interactions online when she was still doing her own social media, and she was always kind and respectful, a delightful change from most progressives these days. I will always be a fan. Robert Altman (RIP) was a lucky man, and he knew it. They were together 37 years. |

So hard to differentiate characters by the different franchises any more with all of the ones out on the big screen. DC can be fun. But Marvel has the characters we empathize with. Superman is fun but a grotesquely overpowered alien in a fake city. Batman is fun but a billionaire playboy in a fake city. Spider man saves the world constantly but still gets yelled at by his boss in New York. Even Thor, noted Norse god, disguises himself and lives among us. |

My favorite character was Sgt. Rock, so I guess that’s DC for me. Attached File |
I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.

A friend of mine was telling me Friday that it's the best show he's seen in a while. Not sure that's enough to compel me to subscribe to Max, but I am sure I trust him over 87% of GD. |
