I recently heard an interview with Neal Adams on Fatman on Batmam, in which Adams basically said Marvel is kicking DC's ass because Marvel superheroes tend to be flawed and complex (with examples such as Tony Stark as a former war profiteer) and DC characters (with some exceptions such as Batman) are more clean cut, all-American & one dimensional types: example Superman, Wonder Woman. He felt people these days are more interested in the Marvel heroes, that they're more relatable etc. - while perhaps 50 years ago the "knight in shining armor hero" was more culturally appealing. It was a really interesting analysis. I'm oversimplifying it here, but what do you think of his take on it? I just thought it was a really perceptive commentary:)

To be honest, I do think comics have changed were DC characters are not as one dimensional as they used to be, many have flaws and character development. But I do think there is something appealing to both extremes of the knight in shining armour and the flawed hero, I think now a days the two have kind of come together where DC there's flaws behind the armour and with Marvel there is flawed heroes putting on armour to be great. Its the way you show them and really how you present them that's key.

I just thought it was a really perceptive commentary:) There's a thread regarding this exact thing in the General Discussion page, talkingcomics.freeforums.net/thread/772/neal-adams-on-dc-marvel and a few people have mentioned their thoughts on this. Worth a look. |
