    I’ll keep that in mind if I’m ever feeling adventurous and in a superhero mood. Mostly because you are advocating for it well, and I can appreciate that that typically comes from somewhere. Thank you for the recommendation :)

    I did kinda like MCU basically through endgame (just the movies, some of the shows were good too, but I don’t think they were really relevant) and then it just got to be too much for too long… what are they up to now like 90 movies? Last I checked it was in the 60s, since they fully claim all their old movies now as canon, and I’m not even counting the animated stuff there… so much. I’ve seen most of them but I can’t even keep track anymore.

      Thanks, your words make me happy, even if it is just on the topic of recommending superhero movies.

      I wouldn’t take my recommendation at face value if you’re picky, because I do like the vast majority of superhero movies I’ve seen, including almost all of the MCU. I’m very much not picky, but I do feel like the DCAMU is one of the most epic superhero movie sagas out there.

      Also, the MCU is only at 33 films, which is still a lot.

        Plex may be counting the shows and animated movies then, along with the movies. My server currently shows 63 things tagged marvel, and I haven’t added anything in a while, nor do I have many of the animated series, cuz I just don’t really want it, there’s so much.

        I’m not really picky, I’ve enjoyed most of the stuff I’ve watched, but traditional superheroes specifically can get stale pretty quickly. Still, if it’s an edgier more adult take that might be worth it.

          It’s probably counting things like the X-Men movies, Spider-Man movies, Blade, Fantastic Four, etc… Things that might be/get tied into the MCU, but aren’t really a part of it.

          As for the DCAMU, yeah, it’s more adult. Some of the movies were too adult for me - one of the things I am picky about. It’s the reason I don’t like the Suicide Squad (I really like the concept, but the crude humor isn’t for me.) The movies are also edgier than the MCU, but I can’t say whether they’re edgier than the live action DCEU; I haven’t watched most of them, but I know they tend to be darker to a fault.
