Okay then so I had to do this. Which do you think is better, Marvel or DC? I think DC s better because they have better comics, better cartoons, and better TV shows then Marvel, while Marvel just has better movies.

IDK about cartoons. Marvel Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes was frikin' brilliant.

Is it possible to vote for both? I personally prefer Marvel movies to Marvel comics, and DC comics to DC movies (the animated shows of both are A-okay in my book).

I haven't read any DC comics, or seen any of the cartoons, though the claim that DC makes better TV is something I'm not entirely sold on. Does DC make family friendly-er television? Are their shows generally more lighthearted? I think both hold truth. With Marvel television however, what I've seen has been more entertaining, has better scripts, and leaves me with more to think about. (Daredevil is an absolute masterpiece imho and my favorite .)

I do think that DC has better shows because Iron Fist and Inhumans are TERRIBLE. Also Agents is just okay and the only *great* shows are Agent Carter (which was cancelled) and Daredevil. And the cartoons are AMAZING! Watch Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock and especially Young Justice. Also Teen Titans and Superman: The Animated Series. And read DC Comics!!

I don't honestly think Iron Fist is that bad. It's a little slow, though still enjoyable. I've heard the same thing about Inhumans though, which is disappointing but not really surprising.

I started The Flash but I really haven't been able to get into it, people tell me that the Arrow isn't worth watching at all, and that Supergirl's writing is very flawed and there's not enough progression. For the most part, I don't think I've watched what is needed to leave a thorough review. Though admittedly, I'm already biased, which means we probably can't come to an agreement.

I've got a few Marvel ones on my bookshelf right now, but I'm definitely going to.

Watch Black Lightning, it's great. Arrow is worth it, and Legends of Tomorrow is good as well, just don't watch season 1.

Right now I prefer DC but only because I haven't seen much of the marvel stuff yet

DC
yes! I love arrow!! Legends is awesome too! I don't like black lighting but I do watch the flash I really liked it in the first few seasons but I feel like it's getting worse I didn't like the last season much (not really at all) supergirl did the same thing I really liked the first few seasons but the last one I only watched because I needed to see what happened to my ship lol I haven't seen any DC movies but I'm new to all DC and Marvel I started watching DC stuff almost a year ago

Marvel
like I said I'm new to the marvel fandom and honestly i'm not sure what I think yet I started on the movies and they go a little slow for me but I really wanna watch spider man, black panther, and guardians of the galaxy movies so I've been watching all of them anyway I haven't seen the marvel shows yet but I was planning on starting daredevil

any recommendations for marvel shows? (on netflix)

I prefer DC myself (as a cartoon enthusiast), but Marvel is better at this point. The only DC does better is TV shows and maybe comics. I don't think it helps that DC feels the need to be so dark recently either.

My thoughts exactly. Especially since the Titans trailer debuted.
