Why do Americans always chose sides between things?

At least with consoles or games I understand - they're things that cost money, sometimes you can only get one, and you feel the need to justify your purchase.

But why pick a camp between two companies you can enjoy effortlessly? I'm sure that most people here have either a favorite character from Marvel or DC, but that their second favorite or third favorite might even be from the opposite camp.

I mean there's all sorts of good and terrible things under both DC and Marvel. Isn't it too broad to simply like one over the other?

it's a /v/ meme you moronic cuck

Let me explain what's really going on OP

>hardcore DC fans hate DC movies for not being faithful to the core of the characters

>this triggers all DC fans

It's not an American thing, it's human thing. Tribe mentality. We're all hard-wired to it, whether you like it or not.

This "war" gives easy and endless opportunities to shitpost

Because white americans are emotional cry babies who are all talk no action.

It's just /v/edditors leaving their containment board and bringing their console war mentality with them.

marvel fans don't give a fuck about dc movies, they're already getting good movies that respect the characters. DC fans get triggered when other DC fans bitch (rightfully) about this joyless turd of a universe

Saying who is better is not about choosing sides. We only debate because we've obviously seen movies from both sides - and this is a place for serious film discussion.

Only to Superman. And you could argue that he's actually a more interesting character when he isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

another good way to bait DCucks. not falling for it anymore though personally

>>68213878
It's moronic to the highest level. Marvel fanboys have become the new Nolanites. Fiercely defending their shitty movies and flat out making up statistics to support opinions. It is ridiculous that they are so insecure that they feel they have to bash DC constantly. We live in a world where we can have both and they'll have literally zero effect on each other. The war is imaginary anyways as historically DC and Marvel would collaborate.

completely wrong. avengers was pre-disney buying marvel, and the marvel omnipresence in pop-culture is the reason disney bothered to buy them you cuck

I am a fan of Marvel, and DC. I am upset because we haven't had a good none Superman/Batman movie come out of DC. Batman v Superman was supposed to setup a universe where other DC heroes could get good movies but they fucked it up pretty badly.

the shameful thing is that is always the lowest denominator, even if not /tv/ related at all.
>>
>>68215638
Where do you think they got the term Superhero?
>>
Do you want to know what's ACTUALLY going on?

1. DC and Marvel bring shills to this board
2. They make up a fake rivalry between the two companies that not even hardcore comic book fans get into
3. 4chan eats it up
4. They begin to post in the rivalry threads started by marketers
5. Literally free profit

And if you don't think that companies actually do this, they could pay a team of 20 people $15 an hour for a year to shitpost on forums and imageboards and trash like Tumblr and it wouldn't make a dent in their marketing budgets. They have entire TEAMS dedicated to making tweets. This place is nothing but another advertising venue.

Stop taking bait.

>>68219306
i don't doubt about some guerrilla marketing going on here, since /tv/ has over 9000 users whithin the target demographic for this shit.

Because we've always been choosing sides.

>But why pick a camp between two companies you can enjoy effortlessly?

Because when you're a kid and buying comics with your allowance, you couldn't. You had to choose carefully.
>>
>>68220223
I'm an adult and I still have to choose carefully, that shit is surprisingly expensive.
>>
>>68214449
That's a stupid argument. Man of Steel is Mr. Manhattan fanfiction. There's nothing interesting about it.

Superman is only interesting because he's a god masquerading as a man. If you make him this flawed, moody character - then he's just another superpowerful asshole. Dozens of those stories in comics, boring as shit.

Superman needs to be one-dimensional in order to work.

This. This 10,000 times. My favorite superhero is and always will be batman, because his stories have always been more dark but that's because they need to be. It's about a kid who watched his fucking parents get shot. But a strong second would be iron man because, like batman, he is still a human with no superpowers and a genius level intellect. Both of these characters have been my favorites for as long as I can remember and seeing their universes come to life on film is a fucking dream come true and I can't imagine why anyone would want to see either one fail. My only wish is that I was born 15 years later so I could grow up with all these movies being made.
