one thing for dc is that they are really creative with their color grading style, like the combination of green,blue, and yellow red with their unique camera cinematography proportion you can tell thats a dc film

DC always aimed for the cinematic shots and cinematic luts

I say marvel and dc should just keep doing their own things. Both shouldn’t try to be each other. Take the flash movie for example, it tried to do marvel’s “cg things” and end up with weird visuals.

u said it, marvel film cameras are flat, there is no depth. every cut, every camera Angel is predictable. the cgi is so clean that you can see the edges that separates the characters and green screen. but in batman 2022 for example the camera is dirty, u can sense objects because of Lens focus. instead of green screen,they used monitors as background static of gotham. the cgi they used for the last 10 minutes is realistic and they've choosed a perfect color palette for movie. In conclusion, dc movies tend to have a cinematic approach rather than being an amusement park.

Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the video 🫡

Dc films just always hit harder for me. Felt more like directors with visions even if they sometimes failed.

As a Marvel Fan i admittedly judge their movies as having no colors, bland colors and the costumes looking like they were all made by the same person and the predictability of shots, not to mention how they all incorporate tech into their skillsets that it kinda made the characters not have distinction to one another. I noticed later films tried to change that but time will tell if the cinematography would improve. Although this may not be related but Marvel's ability to make such memorable , relatable, and compelling stories are what made the franchise such a success and when you watch something that hooks you to the characters and their stories, you kinda don't care how it looks in camera, what matters is still the story.

The thing about DC is that not all of their characters r supposed to be dark and gloomy like Batman.

DC always been the most creative and a hardcore risk taker, DCEU was a failure but their Elseworld films are way better and impactful than what someof the DCEu and MCU put together, even though there are masterpieces like iron man 1, ZSJL,Man of steel, captain America winter soldier etc

this is just criticizing the airport scene in civil war. the russo's said the color scheme for that scene was chosen to demonstrate the characters moving more into moral grey as they fought each other.

The batman amazing film

I didn't noticed it until now but DC films do feel alot more like the vision of their creators from way back with Superman 1978 to the Dark Knight trilogy even now with the Wonder Woman movies, Zack Snyder's trilogy, The Batman, Joker, The Suicide Squad and the many more films that came before and are to to come with James Gunn's new upcoming DCU with a heavy focus on creator's vision don't get me wrong I am not in any shape or form talking about critical or commercial success especially when in comparison to Marvel I am talking about the feel and tone which always varies and feels distinct from project to project and clearlt reflects the Director's take on these characters and this world and with exceptions like all the MCU Phase 1 movies or James Gunn's the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy or some offshots like Multiverse of Madness with Sam Raimi I don't see a creator's vision coming out of these movies they all just.... blend in like watching all 3 MCU Spider Man movies gave me absolutely no idea on Jon Watts's vision as a director unlike say Jon Favreau with his Iron Man

DC Elseworld movies >>>>>>whole DCEU trash

DC is also more realistic

just depends who is making the film, not neccesarily the company

Let's see how the New DC will deal with this ,,can they win audience plus creators trust with their lots of projects to come in future ?? Time will tell

Blade was Marvel's first hit.

Great video. You highlighted points that I as a movie watcher don't typically think about in regard to various filmmaking styles. It's kinda like how the first 4 Harry Potter films have bright coloring and r more adventurous and light-hearted, but the 5th and 6th have very dark lighting with more tension. Marvel films have been nominated for/have won Oscars, so they are also capable of being serious and reach Scorcese's standard like some DC films have.

wild thumbnail ngl 💀

0:07 CORRECTION: a 'Theme Park film' would be Pirates of the Caribbean & the Haunted Mansion, both, LITERALLY based on rides at Disney World and Disneyland! Tisk Tisk, Mr. Scorsese.

It's so Sad How the DCEU is getting better in the Art of Cinema, they have ditch the DCAU. I really Hope a New DCAU (not the Tomorrowverse) and do more Justice on it!

Being darker doesn't means its cinematic lol. it'll make a stereotype among new creators

Who made the thumbnail? 😂

Civil war is darker than most other with the same cast, what makes stuff darker isn't just the colour palette or the amount of death, but rather the focus on the darker aspects of human psychology...while most dc movies are on the same level of dark as Marvel ones, DC ones are generally more mature while Marvel is kinda more kid friendly (doesn't mean adults can't enjoy it), and tbh, most X men films would beat both Marvel and DC at being mature...but hey, that's just a theory, a film theory

Don't use cheap thumbnails,

Superman's my favorite DC character. Do I like Man of Steel? Yes. Do I think Superman needs to be all dark and depressed? No. He's a guy wearing red and blue spandex with undies over his pants and a freakin cape. How can you take yourself THAT seriously while wearing that? Notice that Marvel characters with really elaborate and colorful costumes tend to take themselves less seriously. Like Iron Man and Spider-Man. And then there's Captain America. Yeah he's wearing the American flag, but he's more serious than his counterparts because he's a soldier. He's not a rich boy in an armor or a high school kid in spandex. He's a soldier, and those are his uniform. It's a symbol from a time where the US was a beacon of hope, and the people in the Marvel universe look to Captain America for hope because that's what he represents by wearing red, white and blue. So just because a movie looks darker doesn't mean it's better.

Give Martin a watchmen graphic novel

X-MEN was shown as a trailer at the first showing of BLADE. Blade was first.

There are some really good points this video makes, even though I am admittedly more a Marvel fan than a DC fan. BUT I need to argue a little about the CGI point they tried to make. DC is grittier but my favorite movies and two of the most filled with CGI DC movies are Wonder Woman and Aqua Man. My best friend loves Shazam but that is so much CGI too. I’d say they are equal, Marvel and DC.

why are you using a ai sexualized photo of black widow in the thumbnail?

honestly, that's why I liked marvel projects like Loki, both doctor strange films, Avengers AoU, Wandavision, and the netflix shows. They have a visual style that's different from the standard cookie cutter MCU projects. Even the Iron Man films had a lot of dirty and raw shots that made it feel real while still keeping the superhero tone up. The first Thor films had a lot of dutch angles which I honestly liked but many didn't. AoU, a film criticized by many for absolutely no reason at all, has a lot of beautiful shots that reflect the tone of the scene or conversations. The dinner party, the scenes with ultron, the banters between banner and tony, all of it have colour gradings that reflect the tone. The Iron Man vs Hulk fight also had a lot of cool shots that made it iconic. The winter soldier too, had a lot of raw shots that made it feel a lot more grounded than say Civil War. I think, ultimately, the reason why Marvel doesn't incorporate cool cinematography is due to the audience. Some appreciate darker tones, some prefer light, some prefer wider shots, some prefer more blurred shots. Instead of trying to please everyone with these, they please no one and try to keep it simple to focus more on the quality of the shot rather than the way its shot. You'll really see a more creative direction from Phase 1 and Phase 4, the so called black sheep of the Marvel films.

I hope the upcoming Dc cinematic universe movies are visually good

5:31😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I Get Martin Scorsese I'd Rather Direct Something like Swamp Thing (2019) not a movie I know than something like Shang Chi I'm used to Films like Rocky Terminator even RoboCop also some of my favorite films are based on DC Comics Imprints so there's that

Hey Movie LUTs, can you credit your VO please?

DCU plots are majorly Noir, MCU plots are Thrillers. It will be interesting to see how James Gunn approaches Noir films

The first major marvel hit was Blade, and it was dark

0:48 The KING OF COMEDY (1982). Deniro went full circle in JOKER.

that is all changing, james gunn a marvel director has already made a movie unlike previous dc movies 'suicide squad'

It's fascinating how much solely on visuals we perceive things differently. MCU have dark and thoughtful storyline like Winter Soilder and Civil War. In WS the scene where Zola describes people ironically giving away there privacy to protect that very thing , gave me chills. Honestly, it's haunting to imagine being surrounded by nothing other than machine and it tells you how it's manipulating humans into submission that even by their own will. But I think most tend to forgot this critical scene bcs it is shot in generic style. If that same Zola scene was shot in The Batman style, with intricate camera dynamic and immersive perspective & sound then it would hv impacted lot strongly. Creating a lasting impression. By the way, Deadpool and Wolverine looks pretty good. The director did insist on shooting in real life location which is paying off. So I guess , Feige might from now on let director hv more say. I hope if MK movie gets made they bring Matt Reeve or a director with tasteful cinematography bcs the contrast of white suit with dark background and a gaint Moon glowing behind MK will be iconic. But it can only be done with accomplished cinematographer.

Isn't The Flash a DC movie?

Most DC movies always looked wonky to me and awkward with the exception of movies like the Dark Knight. Which was phenomenal.

I despise the MCU and DCEU but I love comic book films like The Batman, Joker, and Blade. Cinematic universes are overrated.

Its why im worried James Gunn will flatten Dc's visual lingo

"Make it look like it is happening in Mexico" 😂😂😂

One question, why the heck use a shot (0:50) from Joss Whedon's Justice League??? That's literally the most Marvel movie DC has. That's not even considered canon by the fans. That single shot looks atrocious compared to the beautiful photography of Fabian Wagner in ZSJL.

why

Bro wtf, you added a special sponsor segment just to roast marvel

DC falls flat when it assumes it is Marvel's competition. That's when they release trash like BvS and Justice League. After making WATCHMEN, that shoulve been the point they realized how special they really are. I don't understand why they lowered themselves after Man of Steel to do those "power ranger amusement park" films. Thank God, Matt Reeves has revived that DC flamboyance. THE BATMAN has brought back that feeling i got from WATCHMEN.

Always love DC for some reason...now i know why

to the people saying marvel is shallow, this whole video is nothing but a shallow explaination for people who have no clue or havent seen any super hero movies

Oh

For Martin both of them look the same😂

DC so strong

You miss the point. DC movies are called dark not because of the colour pallet, but because of the tone. marvel may be blowing up entire civilisation, but they also crack stupid jokes every 10 minutes, so it's hard to take them seriously.

Whoever works in light for DC should make a little bit lighter it's fucking hard to see what the fuck is happening in my cheap ass phone 👁️👃👁️

Great mask catgirl. Greatest mask in the history of films

I will always love DC films

He can still make a two face movie

uhm the thumbnail

The yellow filter 😭

martin obviously doesn't know about india because that videos on avengers theatre reactions are from india and nowhere else in india people like to celebrate a good film

While DC struggles narratively, their cinematography, costume design and musical scores have always been superior to Marvel in my opinion.

He said marvel on camera

I prefer DC

Zack synder

DC fails cos they rarely give any other heroes a chance and when they fail when they try one like Green Lantern, they go back to Batman. Marvel succeeds from comic book failure by giving different studios the right to make films. Hence, Fox Sony and Paramount were able to introduce different characters. 70+ characters have been introduced to live action. Whilst DC only has 15+ Also, every time they introduce batman they fail to give us his sidekicks. Why does Joker have his own film, its completely unnecessary

Mexico is yellow

Ola

So DC deliberately makes them bad then cry that their movies aren't performing well 😂

Marvels problem isn't that the movies look too clean, we were all emersed in endgame and when spiderman first appeared. The only issue with marvel is its new age social justice storylines its forcing on everyone. That is what pulls us out of the universe and makes us realize its just a Hollywood pandering movie.

LOL, yeah, if only Marvel had MotionArray instead of that amateurish AutoDesk.

I know I catch hate with this comment :) , but I have to say it. Marvel target audience are kids and teenagers. DC films at least try to cater to adults with their brooding, dark, provocative themes and story lines. DC is also generally less WOKE and has less slap stick comedy. My two cents...

0:53 Answer: Trying too hard and going WAY OVER budget. AVENGERS cost, alarmingly, only $200M. JUSTICE LEAGUE cost $300M, and was beaten by BLACK PANTHER (one superhero) and DEADPOOL, of all people! Deadpool was created to fight X-FORCE!!!

Disney is scared to be dark dc is to dark

Stop using Josstice League clips we know what you trying to do 💀

Short answer is that Marvel is good and DC pictures are bad .

mcu is just shit product. And the bad dc projects try to imitate it. Sam raimis spiderman And ironman 1 are the only real director driven "films". Shazam And the flash And aquaman And suicide squad by James gunn were all trash. Zack snyder And Chris nolan And Matt reeves had balls to do their own movies. And way before that was Tim burton and Richard donner

DC movies look better than Marvel movies.

Then why is Marvel MCU killing DCEU? DcEU needs to learn from Marvel

Marvel - kid friendly DC - dark and violent The reason I'm a DC fan and think marvel is boring is because DC has something that marvel doesn't

That has to be the stupidest-looking mask I have ever seen.

Honestly he seems like a very stuck up individual. His movies he has produced are extremely boring.

It's not just the lighting, DC content is def darker with more complex characters than Marvel. It's always been this way in the comics.

DC movie stories are actually darker than marvel story...

Still joker is a lame movie
