Hard not to agree, valid argument

Superman “sitting” on a cloud is such a boss picture

I would say Spider-Man fulfills both roles. He's very relatable and at the same time inspiring because he goes through what we do and still keeps moving forward despite how hard the world hits him.

In Superman’s defence, he had to snap Zod’s neck to save a family. He didn’t even want to do it. But I wish they made something out of that. Would make for an interesting Injustice universe.

Neither Marvel or DC are superior to one another. Both are filled with phenomenal and iconic storylines and characters as well as an extravagant amount of controversies, continuity errors and incohesive plots. Anyone arguing about which is better needs to realise this.

I feel like this is why people love Spidey and Batman so much. Because you can relate to the darkness that Batman feels, or more accurately even the depression he feels and the drive to make change, and you’re inspired by the action he takes and resolve he has. With Spidey hes relatable for reasons we all understand, and he inspires you to take great responsibility with the power youre given.

The best thing about superheroes (even anti heroes to a degree) is that every one of them can be inspiring in unique ways to people regardless of their origin. DC and Marvel do this fantastically with showing the power of inner potential and character and pursuing amazing ideals like kindness or compassion, or overcoming your own evils.

The Batman movie was truly inspiring and we hope to see more of the same from DC

Perfect opinion. When I got older, Superman turned into my favorite hero (young me always thought of him as silly), he is the greatest example of a superhero simply because of his drive to make the world a better place and inspire others, he's not there just to fight crime or punish (and avenge), he's there because he can see the best in everyone and want to make people know they can be this best

I mean I dunno, Spider Man lifting an entire building over himself was pretty inspiring

It’s inspiring seeing Superman reborn and hearing both his alien and human father speak to him about how he’s humanity’s hope, it’s also inspiring seeing Batman being inspired by Superman and looking to fix his error by uniting the JL

Surely I relate to a billionaire, a playboy and the man who flyies in a metal suite

When Batman shot a gun I was done with the whole thing.

I recall hearing something like. Marvel is About men being gods. DC is about God's, being men

Superman snapping snapping Zod's neck is hella relatable because he's trying to save his home. He was even screaming at Zod to stop because he clearly didn't want to do it but he had no choice. I would've done the same thing to protect my loved ones. It was also a very grounded take on the character, which is why I say Man of Steel is a great Superman film.

I think for some part of DCEU, Zack Snyder really nailed that "inspiring" feel, like in MoS, Wonder Woman (I think he has some influence in this film), and Zack Snyder Justice League. On the other hand, James Gunn excels on the relatable part, as proven in GotG, The Suicide Squad, and Peacemaker.

The best way to write super hero movies is that to read the source material.

I think Marvel characters can inspire too because of the fact that they are relatable. Like Peter Parker is just a student (like his fans) that struggles, who got the chance to do good and he did. But also someone like Batman is an orphan who made himself a hero. I think both companies have great inspiring heroes when you think of it that way.

Duee thought Superman was going to let Zod kills those people ☠️☠️

I would have completely disagreed with you when I was a kid. But as an adult I realize that you're completely right. Relatable superheroes may be maximumly good for kids, but as an adult I love my superheroes to be maximumly powerful.

Marvel - take a page out their book. DC - makes you want to write your own book.

Hope James Gunn does this right thing.

i think thats also why the nolan trilogy worked so well they’re very inspirational

Spot on. Good characters come in two types: relatable and admirable. Relatable characters are usually riddled with flaws. They start out imperfect and then continue to grow throughout the story. They inspire people by saying that you can change and better yourself too. On the other hand are admirable characters like James Bond, Superman, or even Katniss Everdeen. We don't learn from these characters by seeing how they change; we learn by seeing them as a role model. I prefer the admirable character more than relatable since they're almost always more badass.

I love how Marvel and DC both have genuine respect for each other and encourage each other's creations whereas the fans are like rabid dogs because they couldn't find anything better to do.

I personally prefer the stories, and I love how, yes we aren’t always able to relate to characters, but we see very human aspects in them. For me, I love the Flash because he is like the perfect sci-fi hero, manipulating time and space. In the rebirth comics, he was very dependent on his powers leading to his own isolation and selfishness which he works on over time

I personally find the relatability of the Marvel heroes to be the reason that they inspire me. Take someone like Spiderman who day after day, dons the mask despite knowing that life would be so much easier should he choose to simply, quit. The fact that Spiderman still continues to do the right thing despite the hardships inspires me to do the right thing as well. I'm sure that if you can relate to someone and then you see that person rise above their own personal demons and do right, it can also inspire you to do the same

There are times, where killing is necessary, even in the DC universe. Especially when you consider the foes many of them fight simply cannot be contained or appropriately punished commensurate to whatever crime they might have done. If anything, DC heroes knowing when to do such extreme actions impresses me more than not.

Facts, that’s why I loved The Batman, by the end of the movie it showed how Batman need to be the symbol to inspire people to hope and not just be a agent of vengeance, May Reeves was cooking like crazy with that one

I got bored of relatability

I though Zack Snyder's movies were the most inspiring super hero movies made so far. People just didn't open their eyes for the underlying message because "batman use gun bad, superman go evil bad, superman no red undies bad, batman Martha bad"

The last Batman movie was actually really inspiring that’s why I loved it

That's one way to put it I used to love marvel and I still do but once I picked up the Batman long Halloween comic I fell in love with his character because he uses his money for the weak and defenseless people of Gotham and he always does what's right even if it comes at a cost for him the DC characters also have a message to share with everyone about little things but once you get inspired by some of them you'll eventually become a better person or maybe you won't but personally they all inspire to do what's right

You've earned yourself a subscriber bro . Let's keep DC alive

That's true, I've always been inspirado by Batman by how he's become who he is with all the work he has done

I feel like Jenna Ortega needs to land a role in Dc on the big screen lol

When Batman realized Superman was not a villain in Batman Vs. Superman, it inspired him to stop branding the worst criminals and relieved him of whatever disenfranchised elements had formed within him over the 25 years he had been Batman. Supetman wasn't exactly jumping for joy when he snapped Zod's neck, there was a want to put him in a moral quandary next to where he was already in a moral quandary over doubt within himself and wanting to help people. Funnier still, Superman effectively killed Zod and his two minions in the 2nd Richard Donner movie just as Batman killed in his first four movies, but all those get forgiven somehow.

I completely agree. What's funny for me is, while I prefer DC, Marvel actually has my favorite comic character, that being Spider-Man. But DC has a lot more characters I prefer overall.

Ikr Spiderman stopping a train by himself is very relatable

I never looked at it like that, but you’re giving me a new perspective

The one thing I actually dislike from marvel is how too many of the characters come off as geniuses and are good at everything they do, it's just a little annoying to me. DC has more relatable/ likable characters to me. I like both DC and marvel, I hope DC reboot we can finally get constant good DC movies

DC and Marvel are Modern Day Greek Mythology Think of that Marvel characters are Mortals gifted or cursed with Superpowers Spiderman' Iron Man Captain America and more heroes like Thesus Persus and Hercules While in the DC it's Gods living amoung Mortals Batman Being represent of Hades' Wonder Woman Athena Flash Hermes and More Both of Have they Strengths and Both have their weaknesses.

Inspiration is why people love Spider-Man, he never stops even when everyone is against him.

I feel like any character can be inspiring to someone. But only a few characters are relatable.

I agree. Except, it did feel relatable when superman snapped zod's neck. He didn't do it out of cold blood or apathy like most of the marvel heroes. He did it out of desperation and immediately felt sorrow for it. In contrast, Christopher reeve superman just threw Zod in a pit with a smile and called it a day. And Michael Keaton's batman has one of the highest kill counts 😅

My favorite thing about DC is the characters are more in the gray area when it comes to their stories. Like in the Peacemaker series

This is such a basic argument people use over and over that they got from some Facebook post because they thought it sounded deep. There are plenty of inspirational Marvel characters and relatable DC characters.

I like it when a hero could both be relatable, but also inspiring, feels weird why they can’t be both.

I think Initial DCEU movies were putting those heroes in a relatively realistic scenarios and situations where the hero has to take harsh steps. Like Henry said, "It doesn't matter whether he made a mistake or took a life but what matters is how he grows out of it" which I think Supes and Bats did

I think Superman snapping Zod's neck was definitely inspiring and relatable. It's a hard dilemma when you're forced to choose between the lives of the many versus the lives of the few; in that moment he made a difficult decision to make himself a killer by saving lives who no one else could save. Compromising your morals or should I say Ideals for the greater good I think is inspiring.

I agree but I will say that the warehouse scene in BvS was one of the best fight scenes in cinema history

Oh yeah flying in space with a red suit and fighting a giant grape is relatable😂

I completely agree DC is so underrated

I love DC for this exact reason, and hate how under utilized so much of the mythos built around it has become, and why I hate when people say that heroes who do good just for the sake of doing good are "bad" or "boring", because they miss the point of why those characters exist in the first place. Marvel is a good reminder that no one is perfect. DC is a good reminder of why we all try to be in the first place. Not because we need to be perfect, but because we can rise above what anyone or anything else would expect us to be. That's why some of the characters who are the most loved heroes of all, regardless of brand, are the ones who both inspire what it means to be a hero and why it's worth it, and also show how it's not an easy path for ANYONE, like Batman or Spider-Man. I think they could learn a lot from each other, just like we can learn a lot from them. I often think that if Marvel heroes lived in the same world as DC heroes, they'd probably be smaller scale than them, since they're like a mid point between the peaks of heroic ideals in DC, and the realities of daily life. I could easily see one interaction crystal clear in my mind, where Spider-Man and Superman could just talk with each other, and bond over their shared ideals, where Clark could give Peter tips on how to manage the balance between family and hero work, and Peter would probably help Clark lighten up and not come across as stiff, the world's two favorite Red and Blue heroes standing next to each other would be a powerful image no matter what they were doing, I could even see Peter taking Clark to his favorite pizza place and just chatting about the good things in life, or even funnier, have them giving talks in schools to help the community, and have them both detect a crime in progress, only for Clark to resolve it in a matter of seconds and just have Pete drop a funny line about "And that kids, is why you stay in school-" What makes a super hero fall on it's face flatter than anything, is when it misses the point of why they exist and what they truly mean. Superman has inspired everyone, from that 21 year old in 2023 who struggled with constantly increasing pressure to grow in a chaotic and changing world, to kids in the 1940s who didn't know if the world as they knew it would end in war. Anyone who doesn't have respect for that history and thinks that heroes are "childish things that need to be gritty and more mature to reflect the horrible realities of the real world" don't know what the fuck they're talking about, and should stay out of the super hero business. Plenty of heroes face all the same nightmares that we do, maybe even more. The difference is, they choose to rise above it, and make things better for everyone, than being selfish and looking out for only themselves.

I love DC just cause they have more dark and compelling stories while I find marvel stories to be more light hearted

I will say in Batman v superman it was pretty inspiring in a way when the news broadcasts about superman while he saves countless people from danger

I do personally think both DC and Marvel are equal to me and though I do love Marvel characters and their stories I still also love DC characters and there stories, and with how James Gunn has proven he is a big fan of comics and these characters and their legacy so Im incredibly hopeful and excited for what the future of the DCU will look like and for the future of the MCU

Marvel makes a character with metahuman skill growth: story of a guy struggling with success DC makes a character with metahuman skill growth: guy who knows his immeasurable potential and trains it out of obligation

This is probably the best take I’ve heard on this subject. For me personally I think the Marvel universe still has pretty inspiring heroes though because of their relatable struggles, but I totally get why someone would get inspired by the DC heroes.

That one mf who likes both

I think there’s inspiration in relatability. Seeing similarities in someone who’s so strong motivates you to grow to be like them. With DC there’s inspiration but for a lot of people they don’t even see resemblance in themselves to that person creating a wall which minimizes there inspiration

I think a similar point could be made that when someone you relate with pushes through a tough situation it makes you feel like you can too

I tried to find an arguement against "relateable vs inspirational" but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense

You just said everything I didn’t know how to put into words 🙏🏼

Batman would never use a weapon to fight because it's a vow he made to not kill, and that movie does quite the contrary

I preferre DC because its what i grew up with, the flash show and his comics. Hes whimsical, but can be serious. Also i like the darker stories over marvels lighter and more kid friendly side.

guys as someone who watches marvel I can relate that I always get bitten by radioactive spiders, become a giant green man, fight people who are possibly 100x stronger than me, fight purple aliens, get into a superhero team, always makes stupid excuses to hide my identity, have shitty cameos in shitty movies, fly like a bird, have the most cool superhero name and get into lots of drama ending with a video in my KZfaq channel called “I apologise”

Im 2005+ kid and i must say i only started watching dc animated shows/movies during my teenage years and eventually i get sucked into watching all of it, as i get older i liked dc more than mcu

And that's what Matt Reeves' Batman does good! watching Pattinson's Batman felt inspiring and great! I can't wait to see how Matt Reeves' universe expands. Hopefully we get a whole justice league and the bat family in this universe. This film has a dark and gritty, realistic tone which feels so cinematic, I just hope we see the universe expand with the same level of style and cinematics and characters... I want to see characters like Superman and Flash in this setting, it would be so great!

I think overall I like both but my favorites tend to be dc characters

Man showed spidey as relatable rather than inspirational that’s crazy.

This is one of the biggest caps I’ve seen in a bit. As someone who is in the comic community I hear people blab on and on how “Batman is relatable, Flash is, Superman, Martin Manhunter, etc.” they aren’t just inspirational they are relatable as well. Marvel is also very inspirational. There’s a reason why Spider-Man is one of the top 3 most loved characters. He’s not just relatable his motivation to be good no matter what is inspirational. He could take his powers and kill everyone in his path even though who disagree with his public image but he doesn’t. He lives a stoic lifestyle and is poor majority of the time. He is definitely inspiring seeing how he makes it work even though he knows he can do more than just be a hero

Thats not true. Marvel characters are as inspiring if not more than dc characters. You really think im gonna be more inspired by a non human beast like superman, than a human like tony stark developing the ironman suit and fighting against armies of space aliens.

There's honestly nothing more inspiring than Spiderman let's be real

The whole Superman snapping necks thing never really bothered me personally.

Spider-man: with great powers comes great responsibility💯 Batman:i am the knight,i am vengeance, i am Batman!💯

For me, Marvel characters are 10x more inspiring than DC characters. I don't get inspired by characters like Batman simply because of how rude & strict he is. The only DC characters I find inspiring are characters like The Flash (Barry Allen), Saint "Bro' Dee" Walker, Green Lantern (Harold "Hal" Jordan), Green/White Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Booster Gold, Robin (Damian Wayne) and Nightwing (Richard "Dick" Grayson). But that's only seven out of thousands of DC characters. However, I don't relate to characters like Cosmic Ghost Rider or Professor X from Marvel Comics, but I find characters like them inspiring. The characters I find inspiring are Nova (Richard Rider), Darkhawk (Christopher Powell), Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd), Cosmic Ghost Rider (Frank Castle), Star-Lord (Peter Quill), Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner), Cyclops (Scott Summers), Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Cable (Nathan Summers), Deadpool (Wade Wilson), Professor X (Charles Xavier), and alot more. Of course, even if I extend it, it's only a few (about 40-60 characters) out of thousands. The DC related characters I find inspiring the most is characters from The Electromagnetic Spectrum (Green, Blue, Violet, ect Lanterns), The Flash family and Batman's children, while the Marvel related characters I find inspiring the most are literally almost all characters with a great story & character development. Now I'm not saying I don't agree with you or your opinion sucks, I'm just saying that Marvel has more inspiring characters than DC. What DC Comics got better than Marvel Comics, because of their storyline & plot. While what Marvel Comics got better than DC Comics, is their characters & development. I must say there is no superior or inferior one of the two.

The problem is with people thinking live action movies is the whole debate when DC has all of the superior cartoons, animated movies, and some comics. Not to mention a whole other brand of DC called Vertigo was able to produce much better stories than Marvel's Vertigo rip-off brands ever could.

Well the relatability of marvel characters can also inspire people that no matter what situation your in there is always the bright side of it.

John Williams Superman theme is the best and most iconic superhero music.

Even as a Marvel fan myself, I always found DC characters to be even more inspirational, and I find it cool how they’re also making Batman and even Superman relatable too while still keeping them in that inspirational light.

Well…that actually makes sense.

You could say that by being relatable, you could inspire more, because then it will be easier for other people to be better as well

Superman snapping zods head was cool 😂😂

Superman snapping necks inspired me to start practicing neck snapping for when I need that skill set

now Miles Morales has that inspiration that DC gives with their characters

i used to love marvel way more than dc but i got into the flash because i always loved the concept of super speed, and this led me to exploring more of dc and i started to love it as well. flash will always be my favorite but i’m now a proud lover of both marvel and dc

Just what I felt.

Oh really if you read the Daredevil comic where he lost everything then had to get back up you wouldn't call all the stories just relatable

Thanks that actually helped me identify my own thoughts 😅

I love john constantine. I like how his life is always screwed up still he manages to show up and even win and also he doesn't always have a sweet victory he always says there is always a price to pay

For me is way more inspiring see spider overcome problems then Batman hiding in some place to make a elaborate plan using his infinity resources

That's actually exactly why Batman is my favorite DC character, and part of why Spider-man is my favorite superhero ever.

Awesome thoughts!

This man hates epileptics 💀

Great vid!!!!

Superman snapping peoples necks be like 🦖

You explained this perfectly. It’s exactly why I prefer DC over Marvel.

To defend MOS, Superman was facing an ultimatum: Let Zod live and he ends up destroying Earth or kill him to save humanity. He had no other option.

It's interesting you say that, because I feel inspired by the like's of Captain American (do what's right, regardless), Iron Man (think before you do, then do it well), and DareDevil (don't fear your handicaps; embrace them; conquer them; then realize their asset) than I do anyone from DC. That being said, turning power into humility and trauma into virtue (Supe's and Bat's) is quite inspiring.
