Reading comic books full of superheroes helped get me through a physically rough childhood. I prefer The Avengers if I had to pick one. But they all helped me at one point or another. I would pick a good spot, read a comic and daydream about having superpowers.
Yeasss! Loved that show.Meh
Eric John Stark
The Eric John Stark Saga
Space Opera Noir from the Master! Half Tarzan. Half Bogie from The Big Sleep (for which Leigh Brackett wrote the screenplay, along with that guy William Faulkner). After his parents died when he was an infant, Eric John Stark was raised by savage aliens on the Mercurian terminator. Whatever...www.baen.com

Comics totally passed me by, so what exposure I’ve had has been watching movies with my son as he grew up. Most of the Marvel movies have appealed to me, with the first Iron Man and first Guardians of the s Galaxy being high points for me.
Also loved Deadpool.
The others have not appealed to me as much. So far the Marvel stuff has struck me as slicker, more cohesive, better integrated. My son likes the DC stuff more than I do, as do a few of my friends who had comics interest phases that I lacked.
My son’s getting cranked up about the new Moon Knight thingy...hope we can watch that together when he gets back from college for the summer.

MCU is fun to bond over with my kids.
I feel like every action movie hero is a super hero these days. They get shot in both legs and then chase the bad guy down in a footrace, then survive getting brained by a baseball bat and knocked into the ocean and go underwater deep enough to crush your lungs for 5 minutes, then swim up and win a karate fight against a steam roller.
I think that's why I like Chinatown. The hero gets punched once and has to spend the rest of the movie with his nose bandaged like the rest of us would. He's a hero because he sticks with it, unlike me who would have gone home and rested up and let someone else get punched in the face for justice from then on

With a fiendish yell! scarecrow of Romney Marsh! All time greatFavorite superhero: The Tick
Best live action series: The Green Hornet,
The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh
Legion (very creative and unique)
Moon Knight has been good so far
And of course Adam West's Batman is the most fun of all the superhero shows
Best animation: Batman the Animated Series
Best movies: Christopher Nolan batman series. Amazing practical film making. Almost everything you see happened in front of a camera.
Best radio show: The Shadow
Favorite serials: Green Hornet, Commando Cody in Radar Men from the Moon
The last comic book I read: The first appearance of Steel in Superman comics
I think the only marvel franchise movies I really enjoyed were
Iron Man 2, because it was fun and didn't take itself too seriously.
The animation was great, and being from San Francisco, Sam Rockwell's techie villain really cracked me up.
And Thor Ragnarok because it was fun and colorful and had excellent modular synthesizer music by Mark Mothersbaugh
I thought most of the other movies took themselves too seriously, and had shallow characters. The things that made marvel comics great were relatable humanistic characters and a sense of humor, and that's what's missing from the movies I've seen.
Also the CG animation has gotten very lazy. 90% of the time, whenever the hero is wearing their suit they are full CGI. The rendering and particle effects may have gotten better, but the character animation is terrible. I don't know why they always use CGI for the superhero masks, helmets, and goggles. CGI animation can do a lot of amazing stuff, but for some reason, it can't make it look like someone is wearing a hat.

Maybe so but Batman is driving the DC bus these days.
Overall Spider-Man is the most "valuable" super hero
