With three successful Marvel films,<br> (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2,<br> Spiderman: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok) and two lauded DC films (Wonder Woman and Justice League) this year,<br> the superhero universe experienced an all-time high.\n\n2017 is finally coming to an end -- carrying forward superhero storylines from previous years -- and it proved to be a good year for both DC and Marvel comic-based cinematic universes. While 2016 can be credited for opening the gates for several other stories,<br> 2017 can be called the first step into a whole new world. \n\nFrom Spider-Man finally coming home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU),<br> to Wonder Woman's spectacular debut breaking all records - superhero fans weren't disappointed by either of the cinematic universes at large. \n\nStarting with a swanky Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2,<br> which was followed by a refreshing reboot in Spiderman: Homecoming,<br> MCU dominated the first half of the year. DC matched the progress by Gal Gadot-starrer Wonder Woman,<br> which seemed to be an attempt to mend their previous year debacles- Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. \n\nAs the year ends,<br> let's compare the two cinematic universes to find out who owned the league this year.\n\nhttps:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marvel-Vs-DC-Supercut-Trailer.jpg\n\n<center>Guardians of The Galaxy Vol 2<\/center>\n\nStar-Lord and his team of rogues returned to save the galaxy,<br> this time from Star-Lord's own father - Ego. The open-ended and notorious franchise of the Marvel Universe took a soft,<br> emotional turn in its sequel as blood-relations came to light and new families were formed. The fact that the film defies its own league of righteous superheroes,<br> the Guardians are trouble-makers in a safe world while saviors in a troubled one. This oxymoron-ish placement of Star-Lord and his team makes this franchise a delight and thus was the perfect opener for superhero year. The series is also a necessary piece of the puzzle that will complete the Avengers' final war with the ultimate evil,<br> Thanos. With an important storyline,<br> weaving in the future of Marvel's Avengers,<br> and some ruffian action courtesy Star-lord,<br> Gamora,<br> Drax and Rocket along with Nebula,<br> and Mantis,<br> Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 proved to be a fool-proof action-adventure. The film opened with a terrific response across the world and ruled the box-office for nearly a month.\n\nhttp:\/\/www.diariodevenusville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GUARDIANES-DE-LA-GALAXIA-VOL-2-caratula-1.jpg\n\n<center>Wonder Woman<\/center>\n\nShe won our hearts with her debut appearance in the DC Cinematic Universe film Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice,<br> while in Wonder Woman,<br> Gal Gadot bowled the critics as well as the fans. Gal Gadot's portrayal of the daughter of Zeus,<br> Diana Princess of Themyscira was one of the best performances of the year and Patty Jenkins' direction gave it all the edge it required. A female superhero film without a male-perspective presented the feminist icon with full justification. The film achieved a milestone with its $ 100 million debuts,<br> something no female-superhero film ever managed to do. Jenkins and Gadot surely broke the glass ceiling in the Heroverse with a well-intentioned,<br> critically and commercially successful Wonder Woman. \n\nhttps:\/\/www.hdwallpapers.in\/walls\/2017_wonder_woman-wide.jpg\n\n<center>Spiderman: Homecoming<\/center>\n\nToby Maguire and Andrew Garfield passed on their Spidey legacy to Marvel,<br> which welcomed the web-slinging superhero back into their cinematic universe. Spiderman's return to MCU won the votes of the critics and fans alike. Sassier,<br> funnier,<br> nerdier and a lot more relaxed than his predecessors,<br> Tom Holland in a Spider suit was what a 15-year old superhero should be. We liked him when he snatched Captain America's shield from his hands in Civil War,<br> but fell in love with his awkwardness and naivety in the spin-off. This Spiderman had swag and that was the reason that film opened huge on the box-office with $257 million debut collection worldwide.\n\nhttps:\/\/images8.alphacoders.com\/815\/815755.jpg\n\n<center>Thor: Ragnarok<\/center>\n\nNow,<br> this can be called as the game changer for Marvel this year. Giving a refreshing comic twist to the most lethargic solo series of an Avenger,<br> Thor: Ragnarok,<br> not only revived the forgotten series,<br> but also joined the lighter yet impactful side of action. The short-haired Thor appealed to the eyes and the easy conversational humor just made this inter-terrestrial biblical story bearable. What worked most for the film were cameos from the Hulk,<br> Doctor Strange and a few leftover bits of Tony Stark\u2019s wardrobe. And while it\u2019s not saying much,<br> Thor: Ragnarok is easily the best of the three Thor movies,<br> because it was relatable,<br> neatly presented and full of fun. The film was also one of the best openers of the year and has earned more than $800 million till now.\n\nhttps:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hipertextual.com\/files\/2017\/10\/thor_ragnarok_taika_waititi.jpg?fit=1500%2C1000&ssl=1\n\n<center>Justice League<\/center>\n\nWhat was supposed to be DC's answer to Marvel's Avengers and the one to carry on the success baton lit by Wonder Woman,<br> Justice League fell short of it all. Though way more engaging and entertaining than its predecessor Dawn of Justice as well as spin-off Suicide Squad,<br> the film had all the potential but the grandeur which was promised never showed up in an expected manner. Justice League lies somewhere between Dawn of Justice and ceiling-breaker (of notions and box-office) Wonder Woman. The film appeared like an act of franchise penance. It gathered up around half a dozen comic-book immortals and let them figure out the threat and form a team with bombastic action and old-school 'great men' humor. The superhero team-up had the lowest opening weekend of Warner Bros' DCEU. Finishing its run in the neighborhood of $675 million would make Justice League the second-lowest earner of the DCEU,<br> trailing just ahead of Man of Steel.\n\nhttp:\/\/leonardmaltin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/img01.jpg\n\nWhat started as a great year courtesy Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and DC's Wonder Woman remained great until the end. The only hiccup being DC's multi-starrer Justice League. To be fair,<br> even the lowest wasn't bad,<br> and in fact,<br> marked a good improvement from its predecessors. Now,<br> if only makers in DC-verse let Wonder Woman and Patty Jenkins take charge and produce something entertaining and impactful. Till then,<br> Marvel continues to lead the way.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"movie\",<br>\"marvel\",<br>\"steem\",<br>\"steemit\",<br>\"movies\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marvel-Vs-DC-Supercut-Trailer.jpg\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.diariodevenusville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GUARDIANES-DE-LA-GALAXIA-VOL-2-caratula-1.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/www.hdwallpapers.in\/walls\/2017_wonder_woman-wide.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/images8.alphacoders.com\/815\/815755.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hipertextual.com\/files\/2017\/10\/thor_ragnarok_taika_waititi.jpg?fit=1500%2C1000&ssl=1\",<br>\"http:\/\/leonardmaltin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/img01.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
