If the very first question/reaction you have is, “This again???” the answer is that there’s a least a reason for why this popping up now. With the imminent release of Marvel’s highly-anticipated Black Panther movie, it came to light that a group of DC movie fans were planning to sabotage Black Panther‘s Rotten Tomatoes score. Naturally, that headline sparked an immediate and very triggered reaction from Marvel movie fans, and annoying those level-headed fans caught in the middle of either liking both camps or not caring about either.

Read below for a rundown of “DC vs. Marvel” reactions hitting social media right now:

Trigger Warning

One nice thing about this trending topic, is that the overwhelming majority of responses seem to favor the same idea: having DC vs. Marvel debates is dumb and Outdated:ย 

One Love

For as many fans as there are angry that this debate is a trending topic again, there are just as many whoย embrace this seeming conflict with nothing but a unifying sense of love:

The Omni-Hater

….Or there’s this guy, who apparently threw his two cents into the debate in order to hate onย bothย superhero universes!ย 

Marvel Lovers

There are some people for whom this is not even a debate: Marvel is King:

DC Lovers

We had to dig pretty far to find them, but there were fans out there who actually still think the DC Films are doing a better job than Marvel’s:ย 

Who’s the Prettiest?

Why debate which universe is better, when we should be talking about the real topic of discussion: which universe has the prettiest faces?

Great Gifs

Asia Rising

While we’re all debating Marvel vs DC,ย there are new contenders springing up over in Asia, to take the crown away from American superheroes…

Let’s Get Specific

Some fans aren’t interested in the general “Marvel vs DC” argument, but there are some smaller debates that can be had:ย 

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies…

As one fan has pointed out, the irony of all this is that this trending topic is just some kind of twisted echo chamber: it’s the fan complaints about the trend that are feeding it! Lesson? Get off Twitter, nerds.ย
