DCAU, because it actually has versatility, it's shows are able to all feel different and don't all have the same tone. The MCU gets slightly more or less jokey but even than with the same type of humor, and characters talking the same way(even with different groups of characters!)
Reply ReplyAlso different episodes of a single DCAU show often feel more different than the MCU movies do.
dcau cause there are no contradictions like they are in the mcu sometimes like shield looking like its a new organisation in iron man but later find out has been around longer, also the thanos in avengers not matching the thanos in IW. And fury actually knowing about aliens since the 90s.
Reply ReplyThe DCAU pioneered the shared-universe concept and (imo) did it best! Personally, the MCU isn't my preferred "flavor" for the Marvel universe. It's technically impressive, but it's characters don't resonate with me a fraction as much as DCAU's. The DCAU also benefits from the shere hours of content.

10 or even 5 years ago I might have said the DCAU. But by sheer longevity, consistency, and ability to reach a broader audience, I gotta give it to the MCU. DCAU depending on you you ask, has "Batman and Harley Quinn" as part of it's canon.. It lived long enough to see itself become the villain..
ReplyI mean see mcu is iconic and legend and earned its continuation anyway. but dceu still had a good start and I still equally think that it has good films and should be continued despite what critics say
ReplyI adore the dcau but the mcu had a plan vs the dcau which lucked into success and connecting it all.
