Would you choose the one where the hero is dark and dresses like a bat or the one where the hero is constantly making jokes and comical things happen regularly. There are many ways Marvel is better than DC, one of these reasons is the fact that Marvel’s characters are more positive than DC’s, I mean would you prefer a superhero who fights with pink swords and guns with flashes of pink sparkles and stars when they make contact?

    Love, Power, and Tragedies: Which Spider-Man Did It Better? Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man may seem to be vastly similar throughout both films with them dealing with science fanatic and orphan kid Peter Parker, the essentials being the same just brought upon in different ways and events but closely analyzing each film they seem to have specific distinctive traits. Amongst those traits they include the love interest between different girls, the altered way they produce their web, and the identical way he loses his uncle. To begin with, the love interest that goes on with the main character Peter Parker and the girl he is passionate for between these two movies is highly unalike.…

    For reasons that defy logic, movie studios continuously attempt to build around the foundation of film classics. Take The Wizard of Oz for example – which in the last 3 years alone has garnered a prequel (Oz the Great and Powerful) and a sequel (Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return).

Sure, there’s plenty of other examples to use, as well – like virtually any sub-par Disney sequel that went straight to video, like Bambi II or The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride.…
