Not gonna have the post 2014 Marvels go off against each other? No Endgame?

I have ideas for pitting these against each other, including later Marvel movies. I need to run some numbers through my head before I figure it out. Right now these are just sparing matches on where DC and Marvel were at when they were so-and-so many movies in.

I LOVE IT!

Let's make it a Riverdale spinoff!
