You're right. People only tend to like Marvel over DC these days because of the movies, which are more popular due to their general appeal and quantity (Marvel currently produces at least 2 movies a year, whilst DC merely produces 1-2 every 3 years). What really annoys me though, is people explaining that they prefer Marvel because DC has OP characters (they primarily refer to Superman), which is funny because Marvel has way more OP characters (Thor is just as strong as Superman and has no weakness, Hulk has limitless strength and no weaknesses, Silver Surfer has destroyed entire planets, Hyperion is pretty much Superman, Thanos killed the entire Marvel universe ffs).
