8 Reasons Why Marvel Really Is Better Than DC

8. The Reboots Are WAY Less Confusing

Both DC and Marvel are guilty of rebooting their franchises more than is good for a cohesive timeline.

While Marvel has also received flack for this, DC's reboots tend to be more of an upheaval, as those like the New 52 and Rebirth not only totally change pretty much every existing DC title, but also require you to read around a series of other comics to get the full picture.

While this interconnectedness should work to create a sense of consistency - as these reboots are technically continuing a chronological timeline - it actually serves to confuse it further, as to gain an understanding of where the characters are today, you have to also learn all the convoluted events that rewrote the universe.

Meanwhile, Marvel's reboots - while undeniably likely also the source of much confusion - tend to exist in their own separate sphere, which those who dislike it can safely ignore (for the most part). Neither are perfect strategies, but in terms of making reboots that are easier to digest, Marvel has to take the win.
