Marvel vs. DC

There's no doubt about it, I favored all the Marvel comics over DC when growing up. There was no comparison. The Superman plots were really awful, IMO, and I wasn't much of a fan of Batman, etc.
That difference is carrying over to TV and movies, IMO. I enjoy even the worst Marvel movies more than DC movies.
I have been enjoying some DC TV shows. I've been watching The Flash and DC Legends of Tomorrow on Netflix. They're entertaining -- not as much as the Marvel shows like Daredevil, etc., but still entertaining.
The Flash is getting old, though. I'm halfway through the second season of The Flash, and I'm getting sick of it now. The entire plot line throughout the series has depended upon two things:
1.
You killed my mother!
You killed my boyfriend!
You killed my father!
You killed my brother!
You killed my best friend!
2.
Complications caused by keeping secrets from one another.
And if I was to add 3., it would be that they spend so much time on teenage style romance (even though the characters are in their 20s) it gets sickening.
And there's a world of difference in the acting. They pick some of the worst actors for DC TV shows. Marvel seems to nail the best actors for the parts.
How about you? Favor DC over Marvel?
