“Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest do not happen at all. The conscientious historian will correct these defects.”
—Herodotus (circa 484–circa 425 BC)
I think the latest D.C. films may get better as the trend of superhero movies dies down.
Although I like them, I can’t watch a Marvel movie more than once. But D.C.’s films, even the bad ones, can be parceled out like anthologies.
Maybe it’s the Mythological aspect of D.C.
It feels like Herodotus is narrating,
Second hand knowledge misremembered at times –
Wonder Woman (2017) is a great example of this.
As a reader,
I appreciate how Marvel references esoteric story arcs. Tho D.C. is still doing the essentials.
I can’t pick one over the other because their mere presence still holds novelty.
Wow, a guy that can fly.
