I don't think it's that so many people are Marvel fan boys, it's just that marvel makes better movies. It's not like the Marvel movies are crap and everyone comes up with excuses for them. When you look at the movies together as the MCU, you have to admit that Marvel is way better. The DCU doesn't really go together at all, their casting choices have been pretty bad overall where Marvel has nocked it out of the park on almost all of them. Overall, Marvel movies have been more enjoyable to most people, I think DC has been outright bad with their movies so far. I will openly say that I really like the DC tv shows (for the most part) and their animated movies are amazing.
It's just disapointing that when you look at what DC has to work with, they come out with this. You read the comics, watch the cartoons as a kid and play with the toys...as a kid... and you imagine what a real life movie could look like and then you compare it to what is done and you're just let down.
I remember watching Iron Man and just being excited for what would come next and then just being more and more excited for what they would do. Not so much witih DC. The Batman Trilogy came out and it was just amazing IMO, if they could have built on that I honestly think they could have been better than Marvel...they didn't. It was crap in comparison. There haven't been too many DC movies that I couldn't wait to see.
The caveat being that what Sony did with the Marvel movies was pretty bad IMO. The X-Men franchise has had 1 or 2 good movies and they just butchered Spiderman. I didn't mind the first Fantastic 4 movies but then the next reboot of it was just bad, like really bad.
Marvel movies also have some comedy in them, DC has been dark and brooding or at least tried to be and when they try to be funny it doesn't work well.
I will openly admit that Green Lantern is one of my guilty pleasures lol. It's terribad but I really like it.
