Let’s pit the MCU’s latest release against DC’s recent films and see how they compare in various aspects including box office performance, storytelling, and character development.
One key area to examine is box office performance. The MCU has a history of consistently delivering blockbuster films that dominate the box office. DC, on the other hand, has experienced variable success with its films. The release of films like Batman v Superman and Justice League, while commercially successful, generated lower returns than expected. However, more recent DC releases have gained significant traction and restored faith in the DCEU.
Batman and Shazam films provide an interesting case study for filmmakers. Such films are examples of how, with compelling narratives and excellent character development, DC films could perform commercially. According to industry experts, strong word-of-mouth, a positive score on review websites and sites social media platforms indicating the release of exceptional productions.
For those who follow their Hollywood gossip closely – word on the street (for some, social) suggests (emerges as) Marvel Universe diehard are ready for the DC rivalry and are taking a few risks of their own – likely more aware of the audience expectations. Going by that aspect, some say the tables have somewhat turned on expectations and diehards.
To find this comparison with the release of latest Marvel Universe may appear in "bigger films" from their rival at least part of critical consensus – for The Flash (DC), an interesting example from comic literature, and Marvels second major offering that goes for new but still within contained verse Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania.
From one perspective, looking outward there would not have seemed (have been ) time to change course as there are so many on the release just before and since the launch of Marvel movies from that genre. Instead, diehards expected something given it breaks barriers for DC movie.
