DC versus Marvel is the real mythopoetic grounding of the "Right versus Left" dialectic. DC& #39;s universe is High Romantic Tragedy of Schmittian states of exception, sovereignty, lines of friends/enemies, etc-- Marvel is about "intelligence agencies" representing "the family"
The heroes in DC& #39;s cosmos are outcast orphan titans warring over irreconcilable philosophical differences.

The heroes in Marvel movies are "essential workers doing their jobs."
Thanos belongs to the DC universe, as he& #39;s just a crib of Kirby& #39;s DARKSEID-- this is why the "reconciliation" of Thanos in ENDGAME is a total farce requiring absurd leaps into "time travel" -- fundamentally a technocratic vision of "rewriting history so Thanos can never win"
The difference is between Batman & Ironman at the base of it-- with Batman you have a dour puritanical "justified sinner" enforcing justice upon a Sinful World-- Ironman is a "celebrity tycoon who does epic CIA contracting work to defend Democracy"
I don& #39;t really hate "super hero" stuff as a genre-- it& #39;s more that it& #39;s become totally MARVELIZED-- which makes it extremely shitty-- loses all the DARK ROMANTICISM inherent in the DETECTIVE COMICS universe, spawned by Poe & pulp writers-- ultimately going back to ETA Hoffmann.
What I want is a Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk blockbuster opera written by Alan Moore called "Twilight of the Superheroes" -- that& #39;s what DC was supposed to do.
