Though the media and fans often pit Marvel vs. DC, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige doesn’t understand the rivalry. Speaking to Crave about Thor: Ragnarok, the topic of division regarding DC and Marvel came up. Here’s what Feige said:
“I think movies are awesome and people should go out and support awesome movies, and I go support those movies and I thought Wonder Woman was awesome. I can’t wait to see what Geoff Johns and Joss [Whedon] and the gang has done with Justice League. I guess people like rivalries, I guess? I don’t know. But I’m seeing Geoff Johns in a couple weeks for dinner. We went to this Dick Donner event together. Dick’s Superman is still the best archetype of superhero films. So yeah, just go see cool movies. What are you fighting about?”
Hear that, comic book fans? Listen to Feige.
There’s no reason for the constant antagonistic behavior between DC and Marvel fans. It’s fine to prefer a company’s content over the others, but at the end of the day, these are profit seeking firms attempting to get your money and attention, not friends, family, or colleagues.
Thor: Ragnarok is in theaters now. DC’s next blockbuster, Justice League, comes to theaters on November 17.
