Marvel Films vs DC Films
Ok, so I was reading an article on IGN and it kind of pissed me off. It was letting users vote on different aspects of Marvel vs DC. I wasn’t really angered until I got to the movie subsection. the choice of films they used for DC was awful, and it was just a terrible representation of what has been created. So I was explaining my anger to Chris when this happened.
Chris 22:15
Well, I can do a thumbs up thumbs down review real fast.
Andrew 22:15
lets find a list
22:15
I got one for Marvel pulled up right now.
I won’t count anything pre-Superman.
Serials shouldn’t really count on this list.
22:16
agreed, that seems fair
22:16
Ok, first on the list for Marvel: Howard the Duck.
22:16
