Battle of the rip offs!
Sorry, just feeling a bit antagonistic.
Yeah only in name, apart from that he's a very original character. I hate that DC can't call their Captain Marvel comics "Captain Marvel" its such bullshit.

you have to know that dc rips off as many characters as marvel does. they have always had the same writers going back and forth between companies so of course it happens.

Captain Marvel...isn't a rip off of Captain Marvel? How? I don't care if his name isn't really Marvel that's whats on the comic covers.

Can you name a few? I realise that they share writers but Captain Marvel (Marvel comics) is blatantly ripping off the Fawcett Comics/DC one. And Sentry is a blatant rip off of Superman. Alot of people dislike Supes so I duno why they'd copy him.

good point. Sparda, you dont like Superman, does this mean you don't like Sentry?

You posted the post about how you just meant the name while I was posting, so I didn't know what you meant.
Ah yes, in character he isn't a rip off at all, just the name forced DC to call their Captain Marvel comics "Shazam!" and it's kinda annoying.

Correct. I don't like him.

"Doomsday: Hulk rip-off.Imperiex: Galactus rip-off.Pantha: Tigra rip-off.And DC made their own Gods like MarvelThey both ripoff eachother. And I am aware of Thanos=Darkseid, so don't bother."
actually Darkseid appeared before Thanos
I'd say Doomsday is more of a Borg from Star Trek rip off than Hulk rip off, you know if you hit him with something he comes back resistant to it.
Liverwurst says:
"When was Darkseid's 1st appearance?"
1970
and Thanos was 1973. three whole years a ahead

I think he was admitting that Thanos is a rip off of Darkseid.

Um, yeah.

I agree on Imperiex and Pantha but like I said, I think Doomsday is more of a rip off of the borg from Star Trek.
I hate it when any company rips off another, its annoying. I prefer fresh ideas or old characters, not rip offs.

"anyone think Family Guy is a rip off of The Simpsons?"
GOD YES! I FKING HATE FAMILY GUY! It's always the same freaking joke, "The time I_" and then a flashback. God! It's not bad enough they've insulted Simpsons before, but now he made a crappy rip-off!? Fk Seth Mcfarlane. I hope Groening sues him. Go to youtube.com, type "Family Guy Steals From The Simpsons", and watch part 1. Stupid Mcfarlane.....
like Sparda said, not many things are better than the original, but Family Guy beats the shit out of Simpsons
I've laughed like 8 times at the Simpsons over watching it like my whole life. I've laughed probably over 1000 times at Family Guy.
Lord Shazam says:

I disagree.

Simpsons are better. But I haven't watched in so long.

Not even close. Family Guy is head and shoulders above Simpsons.

I'd disagree, but I've done this argument a hundred times, and it's never worth it....

I guess marvel just lets DC (Dork Comics) come up with a character Idea, then vastly improves the character and writes better stories around their better characters. As evidenced by their dominating the comics sales market. These are 2007 figures : Marvel leads by 42% to 30% in dollar share, and 48% to 32% in unit share. EAT IT DC!!

well at the moment i've been reading a lot of DC and some Marvel, i can honestly say that i was more entertained by the DC comics i red more than the Marvel ones i have seen done before. so they don't exactly improve on stories.

LMAO!!! I agree completely and feel that Marvel own original characters are still incredible and cool like Spidey, the X-Men, Captain American, ect.
@Lord Shazam: Your name is a DC character. Your opinion isn't very surprising.
seen my picture, Captain Britain and Psylocke, Marvel characters. and am not saying it because i like DC more am saying it because i seen it done before, just with different characters.
Have you ever seen something like 52?

Yes I do after enlarging it. That's just your opinion, and other people do not agree with you. I've stated my reasons for feeling how I do towards DC so I'm not repeating myself. I don't know what you mean by have I seen something like 52.

everyone has different opinions and what (valkaad) said was implying that DC don't write good stories. and Marvel don't improve on characters and stories. so i mentioned 52, a comic that came out ever week for a whole year, and i was hooked on them all. i'd never seen anything like that from Marvel. so there you go original.

I'm not sure for how long it came out, but a story I can compare that to is the Earth X series. Fantastic writing. I recommend it.
and 52 wasn't even centred around main characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Women, Martain Manhunter, Flash or the main Green Lanterns. just people like Question, Booster Gold, Steel and a few more, that people wouldn't know about. i read New X-men i like it but they need to focus on some different characters besides Hellion and X-23. i like them but i wont to see more of other characters as well.
Kingdom Come, without a doubt the best comic book i have read. the main thing is about Hope and not Good vs Evil.
What other good written comics do Marvel have?

Earth X was centered around the entire universe. Mostly on the celestials and Captain Mar-Vell. But the others were barely even noticed like Strange, Spidey, Cap, and Ironman. IMO, Earth X was fantastic writing and I've never seen anything like it.

Secret Wars. House Of M. Along with a few others I can't recall at 3am. As for your second question, Earth X was a series that carried on for about 5 TPB's. Earth X. 2 Universe X TPB's, and the 2 Paradise X TPB's. Each TPB contains about 15 or more normal sized comic books.
