Apparently the MCU aren't movies, and they aren't even art.

That guy is comparing the MCU to "auteur" movies, which is not a fair comparison at all.

It's standardized bullshit that's become good for clicks. If someone wants to bring that stupidity here as an actual argument against the MCU I'll happily demolish it with everybody else, but I see no logical reason why anyone should even bother acknowledging it or bringing it up here just because it exists somewhere on the internet.

Let's see...

I enjoy comics from both.
I have more DC comics simply because Superman's my favourite super hero.
The MCU is head and shoulders above the DCCU (up until Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam and The Suicide Squad, I'd've said head, shoulders, torso, legs and ankles above...)
DC has more good cartoons.
They both have good TV shows, though recently Marvel has more.
DC had good live action/theatrical TV shows and movies first (Fleischer Superman, Reeves Superman, 60s Batman, Reeve Superman...)

So...i dunno.

My favorites at the moment, in not particular order

• Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame
• The Dark Knight
• Avengers
• The Suicide Squad
• Thor: Ragnarok
• Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
• X-Men 2
• Batman Begins
• Spider-Man 2
• Aquaman
• Guardians of the Galaxy
• Wonder Woman

That's just the first ones to come to mind at the moment, the list will probably be different next time someone asks.

Is there an updated graphic showing what should be coming out from both?

And it would be interesting to see how things will pan out... like when the graphic came out that had Cyborg put in 2020...

 

[Grendelsbayne]

Marvel just released new graphics last night. You can find them at various places around the internet but I can't seem to get a decent link out of google at the moment. I'm not aware of any fully up to date graphic for DC at the moment.
