I will always hate DC because they couldn't let Superman die.

2006, about the time the new batman movies started coming out if I am not mistaken.

There actually are a lot of awesome ones out there. My favourite DC character (which is kind of ironic) is Captain Marvel, later renamed to be known as Shazam. His story is more lighter as its a child who is magically transformed in a way, so you have that childlike wonder through it all.

It does get annoying that Superman doesn't die, but they use the multiverse theory in it, so they can always bring back old characters if need be.

I got really bored during it which is rare for me while watching a movie especially one based on a comic book. I really feel like the stakes in the movie were high but they really didn't play to their full potential. I would've loved to have seen more negative results through the actions that had been taken. I'm not a huge Marvel Comics fan but I love the movies but this one felt kind of risk free, I felt like I knew that characters who were put in danger were going to be safe.

I feel like they played the movie far to safe and should've been a bit more risky overall with the plot, sure its okay to keep people alive in movies but my problem was with the movie that we knew no matter what happened that all of the main cast would stay alive and when they did eventually kill a character it was a character introduced in the movie who had no/very little character development. As for the villain I thought the villain was okay overall, nothing special but following the Avengers any villain would've seemed small. There were bits where I felt they tried to make him look like a "bad-ass" and it just completely fell flat on its face.

Spoiler

like the part where he breathed some fire, it just looked poor and made me think that they were just trying too hard.

I mean I love that they showed a whole load of character development for Tony Stark it was amazing to see the aftermath of the Avengers plot but the issue was they didn't really play on it as much as I would've loved to see, I would've loved to see his world shatter because of the choices he made, not crack like it did but properly shatter.

Spoiler

like for the five minutes Pepper was 'dead' I felt like Stark's world was starting to shatter around him!

Had they not played it safe I think I would've preferred it but I mean this is just my opinion on it.

Spoiler

Also the lack of War Machine annoyed me, I mean isn't the Iron Patriot a suit worn by the guy who is the Green Goblin? Or have I got that completely wrong?

Now for all of the DC hate in this thread, I don't get it. I understand the frustration of DC characters not properly dying and the Superman thing is quite annoying but he is DC's oldest most well known character, if he were to disappear DC's face would be Batman and as much as I love Batman I just don't think he's the right icon for it. Also I just want to point out, I'm not really a Superman fan.

Superman is supposed to be the man that we want to be the upstanding man in society who is willing to protect it no matter what happens, Batman however is supposed to be the exact opposite, the man we can become but would never want to be. The reason Batman can fight his rouges so well is because he is exactly like them, insane. But not in the same way, he over preps for everything, he has plans in place in case the Justice League went rouge and he has actions in place for if he went rouge, I mean even as cool as Batman is that is a little extreme!

Whilst I don't read Marvel Comics I still have respect for them, I think both comic companies work well together, the two have copied each other so much its unreal. Deadpool is the best example as he was made as a parody of Deathstroke but became popular so they changed him around a little bit.

Besides DC do have characters that have died in the past and stayed dead, look at Blue Beetle (Not Jaime Reyes), Ted Kord has a habit of dying in all forms of media. Hell he even died in Brave and the Bold, the show made to show Batman in a less violent light!
