I should start this by saying how much I love both Marvel and DC. For the longest time, I loved Marvel so much more than DC. But Marvel had presented us with superheroes for longer than DC had. As time has gone on, I have come to love DC more and more. I think I even like them better than Marvel. And I still do love Marvel. I'm easily entertained though, so there's that. As I've gotten older though, I've noticed a few differences that make me love DC more than Marvel.

I'm willing to admit when Marvel does it right. Marvel are great storytellers. They know how to make a movie and adventure and how to tell a magnificent story. Marvel makes you feel like anything is possible and watching their movies feels like you're there, a lot of the time. Marvel are storytellers, simply put. And they do it very well.

My problem is not with the actors or even directors of Marvel films. I love them. I have so much respect for the level of care and truth they bring to their characters. The actors are basically the characters that they play. I will never be able to disassociate Robert Downey, Jr. from Tony Stark. To me, they are one and the same. And the same goes with any of the other actors or actresses in the franchise. The directors do a fantastic job of telling the story too. I will give props where they are due.

And let's be honest, we owe Marvel a lot. We really and truly do. Marvel helped bring superhero films back into the mainstream. Sure, they had a few flops with the Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk, but then things turned around. Iron Man started it all, but Marvel is beginning to take a toll on me. And I know exactly when it started.

My love for Marvel started to wane in 2013 when DC released Zack Synder's Man of Steel. I know there are many flaws with that movie, as they are with any movie. But that's not what this article is about. What that movie revealed to me was the reality of what superhero movies could be. Synder opened up an array of where movies could go. It was like awakening after years of sleeping.

Marvel was always about the accomplishments of superheroes and what they could do. It showed the ideal. DC revealed the actuality of superheroes in the world. DC showed what superheroes would be like in our real life world and how we would undoubtedly treat them. And I realized then that DC was showing me dark, grim and grit -- the things I always enjoy in books and movies. It's called realness.

I still love Marvel. They show me the good in the world, in a sense. But they lost me again after Age of Ultron. No offense to Marvel fans, but you tend to look of that travesty of a movie and blame Joss Whedon. We can put a lot of blame on him, but the people that run Marvel: all those executives and producers, let it slide.

And though I will continue to watch Marvel films, I find myself more and more drawn to DC. Why?

Let's start with the basics. Marvel heard that DC was going to do this huge mashup Batman vs. Superman and decided to produce Civil War. Rumor has it that the Russo brothers had a totally different direction for the third Captain America movie... but that all changed when the big-wigs at Marvel heard what DC intended to do. I liked Civil War, but I found that plot line and story lacking. It felt like too much. They are a lot of inconsistencies with that movie and they put too many superheroes into it. Now, that's not to say BVS is without faults. It has them, but the cinematography and the story made better sense to me and made me feel for the characters, more than Civil War did.

Marvel likes to keep things white. Ignoring X-Men which is an incredible franchise with a lot of good stories and plots and characters, Marvel is white, white, white. The six original Avengers are white, and two of the three they added are white. The only people of color they have are black and relegated to the comic relief/sidekick. And so far, the only women of color was in Civil War, and quite frankly had the most interesting line in the movie: "Move or you will be moved." Give me more of her. Up until very, very recently, Marvel had no plans for female or people of color movies. Black Panther will be the first Marvel movie where the lead is black, but still no leading females.

Now, DC is only doing marginally better. Yes, they're two bigs are played by white actors. However, let's examine the Justice League, which undoubtedly will produce several stand-alone films... some of which are already made or being made. Wonder Woman is played by an Israeli woman whose second language is English (and has her own film coming out in 2017)! Aquaman is played by an Island Pacificer and has his own film coming out soon. Cyborg is black (as he is in the comics) and is not just a sidekick, and the Flash is played by an openly queer man. All that, and DC has only been creating this new universe for three years. Marvel has had eight.

Now, look at the cast of the Suicide Squad. Deadshot is black, Viola Davis plays Amanda Waller who sets up the entire team, Killer Croc is black, Monster T is black, El Diablo is Hispanic, Slipknot is Hispanic and Katana is an Asian woman. Yes, the Joker, Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang are white, but look at all that diversity DC is bringing... by simply casting people who auditioned and were the best choice for the role because of their acting skills.

I could go and on, but I'll stop there for now. DC brings diversity and reality to their films and for that reason, I support them will all my heart. DC is going to change superhero movies more than Marvel already has. I guarantee it.
