Six Years in the Making: an MCU Unpopular Opinion
As a fan of Marvel, movies, and Marvel movies, I look at superhero films through two lenses - the fanboy lens and the writer lens. The part of me that adores telling and consuming stories is more critical than the fan who’s just happy to see cool stuff on screen, but I believe in balance. A good superhero movie should satisfy both parts. It’s been almost six years, but with that in mind I feel compelled to get this off my chest.

The Art of Fan Fiction
Picture your favorite movie franchise, your favorite comfort read, or favorite show to binge. What is it about these things that captured you, made you hold it above others? Have they changed you in some way? Do you feel a sort of emotional attachment to the characters? Maybe it was the first time you fervently enjoyed something in a certain genre. Whatever it is, the reality is that you’re never going to be alone in that feeling. The beauty of the pervasiveness of entertainment media is that there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who experienced and love the same things you do. Bonds have formed over shared love of a book. Friendships have strengthened over shared interests that were once thought obscure. Family time has been saved many a time by a fun, old movie. This is what it is to be a part of a fandom.

MCU vs. DCEU: Why DC Movies Are More Important Than Marvel Movies
Nine years and 15 movies into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Films have sought to cash in on this idea. So far they have released four movies in an effort to move forward with their own ideas of a shared universe. To say they’ve gotten off to a rocky start would be an understatement, and comparing them to Marvel Studios only highlights this claim. Specifically, all but the most recent film in the DC Extended Universe have garnered harsh criticism from both fans and critics, while Marvel, who’ve earned criticism as well, have been accepted as the studio putting out great movies. Despite the flak, however, DC Films has already made more money with their first four films than Marvel Studios made with their first five. This is with Wonder Woman still in theaters.
