Why So Serious?

Why so serious?

 

*May contain spoilers of superhero movies*

 

You know, after my extensive contact with both DC and Marvel movies, comics, plotlines, fan-fiction, what have you, I have come to a realization. DC has no sense of humor.

            Now, I know you probably have no idea what I’m talking about, but think about it. Think about all of the most recent superhero movies you have seen lately.

The Amazing Spiderman:

“Peter, why is your face all dirty?”

“I uh…I was cleaning the chimney…”

“…We don’t have a chimney.”

“…Whaaaaaaat….?”

 

Superman:

-Father is about to get sucked into a tornado. Gives Clark a look not to save him-

-Clark lets him die-

-His real father dies 5 seconds into the movie-

 

…..You see the dilemma, correct? Besides Gwen Stacy, not many people in Marvel movies die. God knows they trick you into believing so every single Avengers movie. Frankly, I was tired of having my emotions played with, but I’m definitely happy Nick Fury is alive. Marvel seems to realize that they can have jokes in their movies. DC is always dark and brooding.

            Not only are the stories typically darker in DC, the actual filmography and landscaping of the movies is darker. Watch a DC movie and pay close attention to the coloring. At least to me, it seems that DC movies are darker both figuratively and literally. Marvel isn’t afraid to add some comedy, even if their heroes aren’t as strong of characters as DC. That is why Marvel movies are typically better than DC movies.
