Just trying to understand whether I'm right or wrong. Does DC have more reboots in it's recent history than Marvel, or does Marvel have more reboots than DC?

Dc.

>>93901399
Marvel has never reboot before.

DC has done 2 (1.5?) while Marvel has done 0.

What was Secret Wars, or Warworld, or Whor?
>>
>>93901399
With Rebirth unrebooting Flashpoint DC has never actually rebooted.
>>
>>93901399

DC, but their reboots and alternate Earth thing has kind of evolved into an intrinsic part of the mythology.
>>
>>93901399

Technically, DC has never rebooted. A reboot completely undoes everything that was established before and makes it non-canon. DC confirmed with rebirth that all the different ages of comics (Golden, Silver, Pre-Crisis, Pre-Flashpoint) are all still canon and exist as altered timelines and alternate Earths. It's not a reboot so much as it is just a part of the DC storyline.

>What was Secret Wars
An event that's part of the same continuity and leads into new stories that are also part of the continuity.
>Warworld.
Huh?
>Whor
Same continuity. Thor lost his hammer and is going by the name Odinson. Jane Foster is the current Thor since she was deemed worthy.

Dc has had CoIE and New 52 although rebirth makes new 52 no longer a reboot (even though new 52 was and always will be a reboot) while marvel relaunchs/reboots all the time but since they rarely bring up anything from the past it's hard to know for sure. The main claim people have is that everytime marvel holds a relaunch seemingly all the books and the characters within said books forget 99% of the characters history.
>>
>>93901399
DC does reboots, Marvel does "sliding time scale" where you aren't supposed to look too hard at the fact nothing has changed since the 60's and Ben Grimm fought in WW2.
>>
>>93901399
DC has Hypertime so technically it's never had a reboot.

Marvel had Secret Wars which in terms of actual impact on continuity might as well be "The Avengers have a dream where they're stuck in that Arena episode of Star Trek and then fight Dr. Doom and then wake up."
>>
>>93901472
This is true, granted they don't really have a continuity anymore.
>>
>>93901399
Marvel has reboots but they're soft reboots - Heroes Return, Heroic Age, NOW!
They also have many small retcons and the sliding timescale.

DC has only had two actual line-wide reboots: COIE (which wasn't even a complete reboot) and nu52 (more complete but still not complete). For example, all of Green Lantern from the 60s to the present is all generally canon but the specifics aren't. I'll leave you to decide if Rebirth is a reboot or not.
