James Gunn Says Marvel Vs. DC Bickering Is “Wasted Energy”

There are few things more dull than the ongoing, passionate battle between small fractions of the DC and Marvel movie fanbase. The two camps are engaged online in a prolonged battle to determine which corporate backed adaptation of a comic book brand is better than the other. It’s one thing to be a fan of either Marvel or DC, it’s another to make yourself hoarse (virtually speaking) in defending the supposed honor of a franchise. And at least one person is sick of all the bickering: James Gunn.

The director of the two “Guardians Of the Galaxy” movies is a regular presence on Twitter, and he used the platform to tell his audience and those who might be lurking, to take their “silly” Marvel vs. DC debate — which is usually spurred by some news about “Batman v  Superman: Dawn Of Justice” — elsewhere. He doesn’t have the time for it:

You know what? It is silly. If you’re invested in a movie property to the degree where you’re waging a permanent online war against random strangers who have a different opinion, maybe it’s time to step away from the computer.
