Remember the Muppet Show? How many Muppets do you know by name?

I quit counting at 20. A Kermit has ridden in my vehicles since the early 1980s!

And Animal was our Dorm mascot in college.

I can name most all of them if I see them. I used to love the Muppet Show, but I was only occasionally at home when they were on.

Kermit is probably my favorite; re, I love Rainbow Connection.

I enjoy both of the superhero universes, but IMO, Marvel has generally made better movies than DC.

Depends if its comics or cienmatic.  If it's comics, they're both alright although I've no real preference between the two, or even favourites.  If it's cinematic, DC is akin to my brain when it's being super squirrels, so Marvel kind of wins out there, even if it's become a case of I'm sick and tired of there being sooooooooo many movies, and how they're so intertwined you have to watch all eight gajillion of them to even have a basic idea of what movie four hundred and twenty three is even about. 

 

Or, in short, I generally have no preference between the two for comics, doubly so because back in the day I only had a small allowance, and felt comic books were too expensive, and these days it's some of the "mega fans" that are more akin to gatekeepers than anything...  I did enjoy comics, especially the Spiderman ones you could get from the RCMP at special events back in the '90's, and also Batman, but that's back before the death of Superman series and various things like that.  Far too much of the culture seems to revolve around collecting something that's written to be enjoyed, and never touching it, and that's just not my thing. 

 

As for cinematic universes, I've watched a few DC movies, and while I enjoyed some like Daredevil the first time, I haven't been able to rewatch them.  The recent Marvels Avengers fifteen movies of doom of however many it was really started feeling like it was dragging on and/or Disney was just trying to keep a death grip on people's wallets after Doctor Strange, so I'm kinda bitter towards that set of movies, even though there were a few I rather enjoyed (Iron Man the first, Captain America, Doctor Strange, and probably a few more).

Marvel.  My teens were in the Silver Age of comics when Marvel was at its peak.  DC has a very creaky comics universe to me.  And MCU is much better than DCCU.  FF and the original Hulk are two of the MCU movies that fall to the range of the best of DC's movies.  Note that I am a curmudgeon that thinks that the worst Joker ever won an Oscar.  But then I also hate the "acting" of Marlon Brando.

I grew up with both DC Who's Who comics and the 70's Spiderman cartoon, so both for me. For movies, MCU is far more organized and developed than DC is, though DC does have Colonel Sanders as canon so there's a plus for them.

I like all sorts of comics but for met DC is my favorite.

Grew up with Batman, Green Lantern etc.

Love the Batman / Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad movies.

 

I was never much of fan of the "team comics" like Avengers. Too many characters, but I do like the movies though.

Although on the other hand one of my favorite superheroes is the Punisher,who is/was from Marvel.

 

Also like SPAWN who's from an other company.

When I was young the only mainstream comic story line I followed as X-men.  I distained avengers and all the DC heroes.
Eventually I appreciated some of the really good DCU stories - Kingdom come, knightfall, and Frank Millers Dark Knight returns. 
I liked the first 2 batman movies from the 1990s but nothing since. they got too either to campy/terrible or too serious I guess. 

As an adult I don't read any comics.  It has just lost the appeal. 

I loved many of the MCU movies -  My top 5 list of Fav MCU and top 10 Fav movies of all time has some overlap .
- but like others I have burned out on the franchise. 
the only thing the DCU made in the same league was wonder woman. 

Marvel TV series have ranged from works of art  (Jessica Jones S1, Luke Cage, Wanda Vision)  to actually Bad. 
the only Ongoing series from either that I'm really enjoying is Harley Quinn & Posion Ivy - I like both the very adult jokes, and relationship drama. 
 

Favorite of all time?  The TICK  - comic book, animated, live action  1,  or Live action reboot.

For live action, definitely Marvel.  The MCU has done things well, and even their "worst" are better than a lot of the DC content.

DC's Arrowverse was pretty good when it started, but the last seasons I watched were pretty bad.  The DCU has been so inconsistent and has had so many reboots that it really doesn't compare.  Individual movies have been excellent, but combined they are a mess.

 

Favorite: Of current content: The Boys "universe". Seems like the most realistic take on what would happen if powers developed. Plus Karl Urban is "diabolical".....

Of all time: another vote for The Tick in all it's forms.  "Da dweeee, da da da dwee dow."

I’ve never been really into Comix Superheroes. I can name Nine muppets but I might struggle to name as many heroes…

 

Are there more Superheroes in comix than there are Muppets [in the muppet-verse]? Does anyone know?

 

…but I’ll try: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Spider-Man, Thor, Wonder Woman, Green Hornet, Ironman, Captain America, The Flash

Almost forgot: Aquaman

I'm a Marvel Guy. Probably because I watched the original animated Spiderman series in 69-72.  Then there's Wolverine and the Punisher comics from high-school.

 

Dark Horse is my next.
