Cinematic "Vs" Comic-Book Universes

This opinion may get me in a bit of trouble, but I thoroughly believe that these details between the DC and Marvel comic-book universes and their cinematic counterparts, from the minute to the more distinct, aren't of the utmost importance when it comes to relaying a story based on the universes stated above. Now, why would somebody ever think that a "misrepresentation" of characters would be considered okay in any way?

The Answer:

Now, when thinking of the comic-book universe, there are a number of different tools and concepts used as building blocks creating a vast world riddled with action, character development, and, most importantly, scientific theories (some real and some fake) which help to explain certain events throughout certain storylines. One such scientific theory (a real one in fact) is the multi-verse, a.k.a, the alternate-universe or the parallel-universe theory which is, in some ways, a form of cheating for the writers/developers of DC and Marvel. But what does this theory entail exactly? Well, a prime example of this would have to be Marvel's "Spidey-Verse," branching on the very concept of Spider-Man and expanding his character to innumerable different versions such as Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham (Pig), the list goes on and on. Even DC has an infinite list of the different Batmen that they've created over the span of time the character has been created. That being said, it doesn't necessarily answer the question at hand, what is the multi-verse?

To put it in a blunt manner, the theory states that there is an infinite number of universes just like this one where everything, down to the smallest detail, is prone to differentiate from one another. So, for example, there is an alternate universe out there where you were left-handed instead of right, where Snoop Dogg was president instead of some toupee-wearing celebrity, where superheroes truly exist. This concept isn't too far-fetched, but when you think about it, this has a lot more to do with the subject at hand than most would think.

Okay, where to begin...first off, and more recently, the movie Justice League that came out this past November is a glorious example. Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jason Mamoa (Aquaman), Ezra Miller (Flash), and all those whom I've missed, worked effortlessly to bring this group of most utter significance in the DC universe to the screen, just to get shot down by the likes of Rotten Tomatoes, where top critics are calling out director Zack Snyder, and the everyday users of IMDB, calling this piece of work dull and flawed (though not nearly as bad as Batman V Superman, but that's a whole different story). We're getting off topic! Going back to business, one must look at these films as their very own, or alternate, universe compared to what they are based on. Looking at it from this frame of mind helps to dismiss the little (sometimes bigger) details that some people like to cling to for critiquing purposes. Enjoy the movie at face value as if it is it's very own version of whomever your favorite character(s) are, don't compare them solely to what you already know, and make sure to always keep your mind open to the possibility that there will be changes to certain storylines.

Following these guidelines just mentioned, will help you to enjoy the movie at a much deeper level rather than fussing over what's not "accurate" in accordance with the comic-books they're based on. Recognizing the significance of the multiverse theory and its role within these cinematic universes can prove that there's no reason to cause a commotion and that accepting these changes can lead to a much happier life. I mean, it's our favorite characters coming to the big screen, it's time to stop bickering about how it "should" be and celebrate how we're living in this golden age of superheroes! Something to think about.
