THIS IS NOT A COMPANY WAR THREAD, and fuck anyone who thinks otherwise.

Even though current Marvel leaves a lot to be desired in regard to the content of the stories, when I read their comics I genuinely feel how everything takes placed in a "lived in", populated world, if that makes any sense. There's this big interconected network of characters with a vast history between them and the world feels big and it's enriched by it. Marvel's problem is nothing that can't be solved by just putting good writers on the titles again.

DC felt exactly the same before 2011. Not anymore. It feels empty and... lame. Characters don't have histories, and are just empty templates. And that makes me mad as fuck considering how much I loved DC before Flashpoint. It was pretty much my favorite fictional universe. Even though Rebirth sucedeed in bringing back a more classic feel, it still doesn't feel the same. New 52 sacrificed everything and it didn't do anything significative to replace what was lost, they didn't a coherent and significant world building and characterization. Just back and forth between story directions to see what sticked, and in the end... nothing really did. I'm sorry if you started to read with New 52, but it's just a pale shadow of what the DC universe used to be. That's just the reality of it and if you think otherwise you're just deluding yourself.

tl;dr Dan DiDio destroyed DC
