Who do you think the DC equivalent of Laura Kinney is?

(I wanna say Cassandra Cain since they were both trained as weapons, and their "dad" is their future mantle.)

I’m going to be honest and say that I’m not the biggest dc person but from what I understand Cass is totally a Laura parallel

Which mcu movie do you think gets closest to doing their hero "right"? I feel like it might be Captain America but he even feels not quite there. (Sorry if this a weird question, but I've been thinking abt it and you're the only person I know who has kept up with the films somewhat)

Story wise I think the one they got the most right is well none of them? Because early mcu, they got the genre/tone right but they could NOT decide if they wanted to use the ultimates comics or the 616 comics for their stories and instead opted for a gross baby of the two leaning towards the ultimates which most marvel fans agree sucked big time. Honestly the Netflix shows did the best of matching tone and genre to the characters of the 616, but the shows are honestly better most of the time for that anyways.

Now in terms of genre early Thor and Captain America movies matched pretty well (iron man too but he’s a true superhero nothing else so yeah) with the black widow movie festering back and forth between trying to be a spy movie and trying to be a superhero movie. Doctor strange as well does that whole teetering of being a superhero movie and being a fantasy/magic movie. Eternals did excellent in matching tone and genre even though I haven’t read the comics for those characters. (A part of problem for this question is that I’ve only actually really read xmen comics and not much else but I still have an idea of the others)

I think the true winner of the mcu tho had to be the guardians of the galaxy franchise. It was a group that wasn’t all that popular in the comics to begin with tbh so they had more a free reign to change them and reimagine them in the mcu without much push back, it had a good beginning and an actual end to it and were able to mesh well when they had to, to the rest of the mcu universe while still being standalone when it came to their own stuff. They kept theirs sci/fi genre aspect to their superhero movie very notably in every movie- as in I could go immediately from watching Star Trek or Star Wars and just as easily go into guardians as I would if I were just in a marvel mood if that makes sense? However they’re still their own thing and yeah they match their comics now because they changed their comic counter parts a lot.

So I’d say that the characters the did the most justice is either the Netflix mcu characters or any character they basically reimagined/made up for the mcu (coulson or the guardians)

Yo, I just hopped in to say your take on Laura's "romances" is so real. To me Julian was largely a thing bc everyone in Utopia was super sucky to her and he came to like her "despite" knowing her past, Warren was...an attempt at faking normalcy+he showed interest, and Synch.....that's some serious trauma bonding (I dislike them making Talon with the passion of 1000 burning suns). Idk I just felt like throwing in my unsolicited take, hope I didn't bother you any

Yes, I agree!
