Let's settle this once and for all: DC vs. Marvel Tournament

Shazam!

The Mr. Mind cameos that bookend the film alone are enough to make it better than AS-M2, even if everything in between had been total trash (instead of simply adequate).

Eagerly anticipating the next round.

For the record, there are three more rounds.

1godzillafan has Wonder Woman 1984 and the Snyder Cut

This thread died with my hopes and dreams.

I think you're secretly an alien and you took him out.

THE FINAL VOTE:
Shazam!
Darla alone makes this better than Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The Score
Shazam!:  8
The Amazing Spider-Man 2:  0



Spider-Man shoots a web at Shazam as Shazam just flicks him and sends that forgotten franchise flying out of existence.

DC:  21
Marvel:  20
Draw:  2

FIGHT!

X-Men: DoFP

Well, I haven't seen The Kitchen. I doubt anyone has seen The Kitchen. But Days of Future Past is so often overlooked among the 2010 comic-book movies and I'm not gonna risk that happening.

X-Men

I saw it at the dollar theater. And Neverending bitched me out after he rented it last year.

Even if anybody else here has watched it, rest easy because X-Men is safe.
