8 Things The DCEU Is Doing Better Than The MCU (So Far)

8. The Outsider Hero's Fantasy World

Aquaman (Jason Momoa) is basically the Justice League equivalent to Thor, since he's another long-haired, god-like member of royalty from an alternative world (sort-of).

Asgard, the world where Thor comes from, is OK. It looks nice and everything but it's ultimately kind-of meh (just like most of the other things in Thor's solo films). It isn't a tenth as awesome or detailed as Atlantis, which is the underwater world where Aquaman's mother comes from and of which Aquaman is now king.

Not only is it an absolutely stunning and gorgeous on a visual level, but Aquaman's solo film took time to flesh out some of the backstory regarding the original seven kingdoms, their differences in appearance and history, and the state the different groups have fallen into.

It's a living, breathing world that pretty much represents some of the best world-building of any kind in any MCU or DCEU film.
