Poll Summer TV Marathon! Which should I pick?? (29 votes)

Arrow 34%
Netflix Marvel 48%
All of the DCAU 17%

Hey guys! I'm really in the mood to sit back and consume some superhero media this summer (besides the movies). All 3 of these choices are things I've been thinking of doing for quite a while, but I'm trying to decide which would be the best use of my time.

Arrow and Netflix Marvel are both things that I've dabbled in, but didn't stick with, which I'm now hearing great things about. I have past experience with the DCAU, specifically the Justice League shows, but I've never sat down and watched all of it from one end to the other, and I think that would be a lot of fun.

So I'd like your feedback on which one I should ultimately devote my time to and why, if you don't mind. Please give reasons rather than just clicking on an option! Thanks for the help!

Arrow and AoS. AoS starts a little slow, but if you stick with it, it gets a lot better.

You'll get a lot of mileage out of the DCAU. Batman TAS, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond,

JL, and JLU. Not to mention all the movies set in the DCAU like Mask of the Phantasm, Sub-Zero, and Return of the Joker. Watching all those and tying it all up with the epilogue episode of JLU is so satisfying. I may be a bit biased because that was the DC universe I grew up with. A lot of nostalgia comes into play for me whenever I decide to watch DCAU stuff.

Arrow is pretty compelling, some of the cheesiness and soapy drama aside. There's enough awesomeness in there to make the cheese and soapbox drama seem minuscule.

The DCAU is awesome, can't go wrong there.

Arrow is amazing too, I'd just go for S1, S2, S3A, and S5 though. Season 3B and Season 4 are kind of a rutt in the show's quality. Peak Arrow is definitely in that top tier of CB media.

The Netflix Shows have really high production value, and some really great characters. I'd highly reccomend Daredevil S1/S2 and Jessica Jones. They can both be a bit slow at times, but I think it's totally worth it. I'd reccomend skipping Luke Cage and Iron Fist, they were both pretty bad.

I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the three.

Netflix Marvel all the way. I love Arrow, but S3 and S4 aren't great, the DCAU is pretty good but Daredevil and Jessica Jones smash them all (LC and IF are not as good but still decent)

Watch Smallville. It's 10 seasons and you'll see more character development in the first 2 seasons than you'll see in all of Flash or Arrow combined. Plus Lex Luthor Is a boss in the show

Since this thread seems to be dying pretty quickly, I'm just going to ask:

@heroup2112, you seem like a cool guy. What's your pick?

Wow, thanks for the compliment. Personally I've got all the CW shows and AoS saved on my DVR. Those are what I'll be watching this summer.
