Top 10 REASONS WHY THE JUSTICE LEAGUE IS BETTER THAN THE AVENGERS
INTRO: Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa
and this is Top 10 Nerd.
The Justice league as a team debuted in 1960.
The Avengers first assembled in 1963.
Both are teams consisting of superhero powerhouses.
On the surface they seem evenly matched, but when you really examine the two teams, the
JLA has a few advantages that could potentially edge them out on top.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 REASONS WHY THE JLA IS BETTER THAN THE AVENGERS.
Theoretically, of courseÑif you want the flip side to this video just give a shout.
In the number 10 spot, we have THE LADIES.
For a long time comics have struggled in having superhero role models who were female.
DC broke out of this conundrum with the introduction of Wonder Woman in 1941, who is basically
the queen of the superheroines.
Other notable members have included Vixen, one of the earliest black female super heroes,
and Black Canary, who was created to be sexy yet never a damsel in distress.
Marvel has definitely caught up to leading ladies, but not quite in the way the JLA ladies
have.
Coming in at number 9 is A BETTER TEAM DYNAMIC.
When you are a part of a team, especially one as large as the JLA or Avengers, you need
organization.
You need a hierarchy.
Everyone knows their place in the Justice League; there is a defined leadership with
Superman as the ultimate head of the team, but each member brings to the table something
that the others alone do not provide.
Yes, they do have their moments of squabbles, but keep it diplomatic.
But on the other hand, the Avengers get majorly divided on issues.
Can we say civil war?
Next, at number 8 are THE VILLAINS.
The better the villains have been, the more trained a team will be after having to face
said villains.
The Justice League have powerhouse enemies like Darkseid, and maniacal psychopaths like
the Joker.
So they are not just well-versed in combat, they also have to be thinking on their feet
at all times.
The Avengers do have some pretty major villains like Thanos and Loki, but these guys are outclassed
by the DC villains in most depertments.
In the number 7 spot IS THE BETTER SPEEDSTER.
When it comes right down to it, we could probably compare each individual member to their counterpart,
but that would probably be a whole video of top 10 versus right there.
Easily enough to claim is that when he taps into the speed force, the Flash is going to
outpace Quicksilver.
This isnÕt reason enough to say that the JLA is better because of one dude, but it
provides an example of how the DC lineup is always one-upping their Marvel counterparts.
Almost to the point of disbelief.
Coming in at number 6 IS ACCESS TO THE POWER RING.
Never mind Superman, Green Lantern could be the secret key in the Justice League topping
out over the Avengers.
This all comes down to the power ring.
With enough willpower, Green Lantern can think up any construct and use it to take down his
pick of the avengers.
No, itÕs not fair, yes itÕs incredibly OP.
DC doesnÕt like to make weak charactersÑmaybe they should give it a try, spice things up
a little.
Next up, at number 5, THEY ARE RICHER.
If youÕre going to assemble the team at the top, youÕre gonna need the cashiola to do
so.
No, more money doesnÕt translate automatically to better.
But it does help.
The Avengers do have Tony Stark and Black Panther, but then weÕve got JLA members such
as Bruce Wayne and his enterprise, Aquaman and his treasures, Oliver Queen the celebrity
business man, Wonderwoman and her historic riches.
And that money can definitely fund a lot of transportation, hadquarters, and technology
needs.
Up next at number 4 IS THE WILLINGNESS TO LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES.
When it comes to it, the Justice League know their job is to protect the world, and theyÕre
willing to do everything it takes.
Even if it means at the cost of their life.
Flash from Crisis on Infinite Earth ran so fast he created a power vortex to save the
Earth, but died in the process.
Green Lantern accepted death as the price for restarting the sun in final night.
They are just more willing to go the extra mile for unselfish reasons.
In the number 3 spot IS THEIR DARKER ORIGIN STORIES.
Some of the Avengers do have interesting parts of their stories, like Hank PymÕs mental
illness and the HulkÕs struggle with rage.
But itÕs the backstories of the Justice League characters that really steal the spotlight.
Batman was shaped by the traumas of his childhood.
Cyborg was forced to be a test subject by his own parents.
Superman was removed from his own world and forced to assimilate to the human world.
ItÕs the pain that fuels them, and also provides an interesting edge over their Marvel conterparts.
Coming in at number 2 is ICONICITY.
Even before you probably knew what a comic book was, you knew who Batman and Superman
and Wonderwoman were.
The Marvel heroes have over time accumulated quite the stories, but nothing in size or
stature as compared to the icnic names of the Dc roster.
Their stories are more complex, longer, and limitless in what could happen.
Meanwhile, a lot of the Avengers characters are considered more secondary.
Although it would be great to branch off and hear more about them.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL TEAM.
When it comes right down to it, the Justice League was around first.
ItÕs kind of only because Marvel owner at the time, Martin Goodman, was told how well
the Justice League was selling, that he mentioned to Stan Lee to come up with his own team concept.
The Fantastic 4 actually came first, followed by the Avengers, and that hit the mark.
So thanks to the JLA.
So those were the top 10 REASONS THE JUSTICE LEAGUE IS BETTER THAN THE AVENGERS.
