I'd say Watchmen is way ahead of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Man of Steel was the first time I ever loved a Superman movie. I loved the way the movie was handled. I'd put it around the Dark Knight Trilogy. I waited for the Directors cut for BvS and I can understand with almost half an hour cut, the Theatrical version might have really sucked.
Marvel have consistantly pushed out content good or bad jsut to sucker more and more lowest common denominotr fans who dont have a deep understanding of the orgiion content and are happy to be spoon fed wahtever comes on the screen
100% true. Sometimes they do deliver some great experiences like the two Avengers movies and the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel's aversion to take risks makes them pump out mediocre stuff. I don't think any of the movies except Captain America (first one) and the first 2 Thor movies sucked. But MCU mostly feels like a high budget TV series more than anything. They are good. But Never great. Also they have too much humor. In some movies it works. But in some it doesn't (Civil War Airport Fight)
