Endgame vs Joker (MOVIE)

Marvel and DC had been at war since forever and fans are always comparing them, so I am here with a comparison between the most anticipated movies of all time. If we were to talk about the most anticipated movies we will eventually come down to Endgame (MCU) and Joker (DCEU). Now both these movies are entirely different from each other, based on story line etc, and it does not make sense to compare them but people had gone crazy for specifically these two movies and people who don't even know what these movies are about went to see them anyways. So I am comparing them based on the feedback. 

After Infinity War there was a rumor of Infinity War part 2 but later it was denied but the fans knew that there is going to be another part given the ending of Infinity War. Endgame was released on April 22nd, 2019. After 89 days of release Endgame became the top grossing movie of all time with  $2,797,800,564 worldwide gross. Endgame is one of the most expensive movies of all time with a budget of $356 million. It has an IMDB rating of 8.5. Endgame was more anticipated by Marvel fans because it marked the end of an era. For me MCU could not have given a better end to the Avengers. The direction, story line, acting and all was just so on point that there is no room for change. MCU built the story of Endgame on previous 4 phases. Some people didn't like the movie because they were unable to comprehend the story line which is true because to understand the story of Endgame you must see all 4 Phases of MCU. It was like watching the last episode of the season and trying to understand the story for those people. Marvel really owns it's concept of science that are portrayed in the movie so if you do not have any idea of possibilities in science the movie will just look absurd to you and will not make any sense. The things that are showed in the movie might not be achievable but there are studies and theories on such subjects. For some people the movie was like a piece of entertainment you will not search for again, it does not leave you with any important information to retain.

Batman, Superman and Joker are the strongest characters of DC. Nearly everyone is familiar with the character of Joker at least fan or not, specially after the legendary performance Heath Ledger in Batman Dark Knight. After the popularity of Heath Ledger's joker when people heard that there will be a movie solely based on Joker they went crazy. Everyone expected to see a bit of Joker's history, his life style, why he was the way he was etc. Joker was released on August 31st, 2019. Joker has made to the top of the list in R-rated movies but is still at no.34 in top grossing movies with $1,054,941,623 worldwide gross. Joker had a budget of $55 million. It has an IMDB rating of 8.7. The concept of how society can turn an innocent man into evil was portrayed really well. It touched the audience at different emotional levels. For a person who had no general idea of what the movie was about, it was a great movie but when a fan goes to watch a movie they are expecting way too much. For me, I say flaws where the movie could have been better. They could've showed joker a little younger because he is 32 in the movie and Bruce Wayne is a kid. When Bruce Wayne grows up and fights joker, Joker is still young. Joker gave a concept of social abuse that was overseen by everyone and it leaves people with a scar, with a piece of information about how smallest of the things can effect someone at such great levels.

Overall, the two movies cannot be gauged on the same ground based on their discrepancy of genre. Endgame is a fiction movie whereas joker was a reality based psychological thriller. The fact that DC and Marvel deal with superhero genre really takes the core concept out of Joker movie as DC went for an entirely different route. As far as Oscars are concerned i think fans are going too over board with Joker because it had flaws as a movie and movies of different genres cannot compete for Oscars. If I were to chose between these two movies i would vote for Avengers Endgame. Reality is easier to write as compared to fiction. Fictions requires a lot more time, imagination and hard work.
