While comparing directors, the criteria should be more based on what unique voice and execution that the directors have brought to the table compared to the previous movies of the genre. I believe the MCU is largely a producer driven vision rather than the individual directors. I'll probably rate Nolan, Sam raimi, Bryan Singer, Richard Donner, Tim Burton as better directors than Russo's even though I like MCU movies more than most of the above director's filmography.
Everything else you said are just assumptions about future and you know future just happens to be the right tool for keyboard warriors to predict and have a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in their lives.
5 years down the line, the sequel for Captain Marvel can be the next TDK and Wonder Woman 1984 can be the next......you know a mediocre film like Captain Marvel. 5 years from now the entire DCEU may burn down and all MCU's irritating fanboys wet dreams of world domination may come true. But how will they live with nothing to scream about in online forums.
But right now as things stand, Wonder Woman the CHARACTER is more popular than Captain Marvel the CHARACTER. People will remember Wonder Woman the 2017 film more fondly than Captain Marvel the 2019 film.
By the way, I personally feel Wonder Woman is the 2nd most overrated comic book film after Black Panther while Captain Marvel got a lot of undeserved hate.
Why so desperate to prove a point? But lets continue this useless discussion.
"But Captain Marvel being the highest female superhero movie is not a bold claim. It’s called reality"
The original claim in the OP was Captain Marvel is the "most popular female superhero CHARACTER" and not "highest grossing female superhero MOVIE", and that is not reality. Yes, it is the highest grossing female superhero MOVIE right now, nobody is denying that, do a bit of reading before you go all gaga next time.
"On that note, Captain Marvel only happens to be a part of the biggest film franchise and most revered superhero film franchise, so this isn’t your typical mediocre-movie-made -a-lotta-of-money kinda a deal"
Such bland logic. Captain Marvel being part of the biggest film franchise and most revered superhero film franchise does not automatically make it a revered superhero film, its still a [b]mediocre-movie-made -a-lotta-of-money kinda a deal only[/b], just like Iron Man 3 thanks only to the goodwill that people have on MCU. The franchise is in such a good position that it can release any unknown character, have a average story and its still going to set the cash registers ringing.
"WW will be remembered more fondly? That’ll be a first for a DCEU movie."
Lol lol lol....I am no DCEU fan, I just like good movies and that includes the comic book genre. I hope you were not expecting me to get triggered. Let me try and get you triggered, DC has produced the greatest comic book film and the greatest comic book film trilogy, hell marvel based movies like Logan, Spider Man 2 are much greater than anything MCU has produced yet. Just please don't come up with "but....but...billions of dollars".
That's a very bold claim. Success of one movie will not make Captain Marvel more popular than Wonder Woman.
Anyways, box office success is never equal to the quality of the movie. Wonder Woman is not some great cinematic master piece, but 5 years down the line it will be much more fondly remembered than Captain Marvel.
