In "not a shock to anyone' news : MARVEL owned the Summer of 2014.
Even if we are to not count CAPTAIN AMERICA WINTER SOLDIER as a technically summer release, the MARVEL banner still reigned supreme as the two best films of the summer were MARVEL COMICS properties- X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. I'm not going to blow my own horn but MONTHS AGO I went around commenting on every board and on every YouTube channel comment section : AMC Movie Talk, Beyond The Trailer, Schmoes Know, Emergency Awesome, Stuckman, Jeremy Jahns- anything with a comment board: I TOLD THE WORLD....GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY will OWN 2014. Marvel backed by Disney with a movie that features a talking gun toting raccoon and a sentient tree that comically only says one line over and over.....if you didn't think the families and kids and geeks were not going to come out in droves to see that film then you live under a rock underneath a bigger rock. In a world where a mediocre animated film makes a boatload of money (looking right at FROZEN) and summer movies success is usually always driven by families with kids...I would have been shocked if GOTG didn't make a ton of money.

****SPOILER ALERT*******
This movie will own 2015....and if anyone wants to place a bet I'll give you 3-1 odds.

So 2015 will be another MARVEL year and then finally in 2016 DC/WB will fully invest in their cinematic superhero universe with BATMAN v SUPERMAN. Then that's where it gets interesting to see if MARVEL can continue their dominance. If WB/DC continues to just put out films every three years then MARVEL will always rule unopposed in the years in between.
Sorry if that butthurts any DC fans- personally I love both and want success for both companies because then it means more movies, more television shows, more product. How could you not want DC and MARVEL to succeed ? That's a fanboy war I will never ever grasp.
On a related note: WHO THE HELL IS SCOOT MCNAIRY PLAYING ? IS HE FLASH ? METALLO ? GREEN LEG MAN ? PETER PAN ?
