Add Stewart/McKellen and its a stomp

However, with series included Marvel has some really great perfomances too (Kilgrave was terrific, and Fitz has amazing performances). Even then its not touching Foxverse, though.

MCU for the whole universe being full of just consistently more enjoyment. But X-Men seems to have higher peaks for me. X2 is probably better than any MCU film. Except for the Avengers, which is debatable, so I tend to flip flop that one around a bit. Thor TDK, IM3, and what? Not so much disappointment in a lot of MCU films, just mediocre to pretty darn good. But half of the X-Men movies are superb, and the other half can't even call themselves mediocre, they are usually so bad.

So...

MCU >> X-Men on consistency, and overall quality imho.

And it should line up like this overall.

MCU >> X-Men >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Somewhere over hear is the garbage fire of the DCEU.

And it isn't for lack of any good movies in the DCEU. I actually like a couple of them. But... Man oh man... I shouldn't say more, unless I fire anyone's delicate sensibilities off over it, so I am not going to discuss too much on why I have it laid out like that.

I'm not asking about which is the best cinematic universe. I'm asking which universe has the best performances.

Unfortunately, It would still be around the same answer. Except for the DCEU being waaay better, if we are only going by acting performances. So it is a closer 3, but still decisively a third. Because the performances for the X-Men are one of the bigger contributing factors in the up and down nature of it. Take Jean for instance in Apocalypse. Or anyone in that movie... Don't you see a lot of phoning it in? Compared the the unbelievable performances by McClellan before and after? And RDJ, etc do consistently great.

Using this, going with

MCU > X-Men >> DCEU

It's disrespectful to the MCU and to the Foxverse to compare them to the DCEU

People need to stop letting their DCEU hate blind them. They do a lot of things wrong but acting isn't one of them. Their acting is actually pretty solid, and more than comparable to MCU. MCU has more good performances but only because their universe is far better and further built.

X-Men Universe is on a whole other level, though.

There are good parts and bad parts to all of them:

  • FOX: McKellen/Stewart/Jackman are great and fortunately they get a lot of stuff to do. The rest can best be considered 'meh' if not 'ugh'.
  • MCU: They have a terrible habit of hiring big named and talented actors for small parts, like Hopkins playing Odin. A lot of the rest... I kinda feel like RDJ just plays himself, and many of the others are just trying to ape his style.
  • DCEU: I wont say it's greater than anyone elses, but I also wont say it's worse than anyone else.

Lol, I voted generally without seeing the question at the bottom. Anyway, as universe, it's definitely MCU by far. But by single performances:

Which actor/s' performace/s are your favorite?

1. RDJ; 2. Hugh Jackman 3. Michael Fassbender 4. Chris Hemsworth 5. Chris Evans

Who do you think is the best actor?

The best actor out of these ones is undoubtedly Ian McKellen, and that is not even close. The second spot goes for Downey, the third, for Hugh Jackman.

Which superhero casting is your favorite?

That's difficult. If i have to pick only one it has to be Iron man. But I'm saying my favourite ones from Fox and DCEU anyway - Wolverine and Aquaman.

So in conclusion maybe the Fox has the best single performances. But if we exclude Wolverine, Magneto x2 and Charles x2 we've got nothing left. The rest are pretty much forgettable. Almost everyone of MCU had a good performance so even if we remove Iron man, Thor or Captain America, we still got brilliant characters. So my vote is legit anyway.

FOX by a mile and a half. Neither MCU nor DCEU come even close, IMO.
