Looking at both of the trailers involving Civil War and Dawn of Justice I know both DC and Marvel Fantatics have already chosen their side in the fan war. As far as I'm concerned you want to know why the fan war involving DC vs Marvel is stupid? Because the companies in general doesn't give a shit about which side the fans choose as long as they make money off of them. On one side you have Marvel slandering DC and the way they do things while DC does the same to Marvel. Then both fans get all butt hurt over the comments and go "How dare they say that?!" Sometimes controversy sells dumbshits! The actors involved in the Marvel/DC films don't give a shit about some lame fan war, they're too busy signing their checks. But they'd gladly go out of their way to say whatever that can promote the film they're involved in. The fact that the fans buy into whatever the actors say is the equivalent of a fish taking the bait while Marvel/DC reels it in.
And lets talk about the general audience. As far as the general audience whom aren't comic fans go they just see the films to find some form of entertainment. Either for themselves or for their kids whom like to see their favorite heroes on the big screen. Here is how little they care about the fan wars relating to DC/Marvel
There is a difference being supporting a movie but there is also a difference between being too caught up on the fan war that you're loosing sight on the fact that both companies are profiting off on it.
Then you have the upcoming movies. Dawn of Justice and Civil War. With both DC and Marvel Fanatics comparing both films, despite one glaring fact. They're the same movie! Not just in plot setting but because of the fact that neither movies brought anything new to the table. The only times the MCU was different because of Winter Soldier. Especially when you compare Winter Soldier to the other Phase 2 films. The DC Movie Universe haven't done much for me either. The only time I've ever gotten a "huh" out of DC is because of their live action tv shows and even with them they're getting stale.
As divisive as it has gotten I'd at least give Star Wars credit in giving me a "where will they go next?" kind of reaction. Cause anything can happen as far as Episode VIII go.
But here's a chance to see if BOTH movies can prove me wrong and not only be a good movie but do something new.
