Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3is out and has welcomed widespread appreciation from everywhere. As per the fans, James Gunn’s brilliant in portraying the last ride for our beloved Guardians most beautifully. But this has also led some fans to compare theGuardianstrilogy to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, resulting in a vast fan war.
Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knight Trilogyis considered to be the most remarkable comic book movie trilogy ever. Not only the three movies received acclaim from everywhere, but all of them also received the tag of huge box office hits. The comparison of it to the MCU’sGuardians of the Galaxytrilogy has led to different perspectives and points about both movies.

IsGuardians of the Galaxy Trilogybetter thanThe Dark Knight Trilogy?
There are several reasons why the Christian Bale-Christopher Nolan-led trilogy is still hugely talked about. When it comes to comic book movies, it is considered the top-tier project that everyone looks up to. But on the other hand, after the recentVolume 3turned out to be a top-notch and successful MCU project in giving our Guardians the farewell it deserved, Marvel fans deemGuardians of the Galaxyto be at par or even better thanThe Dark Knight Trilogy.
But even after being the best one,The Dark Knight Trilogyfaced one criticism for a long time. Many moviegoers claim that the second movie is peak while the rest two don’t touch that. This was mostly raised afterThe Dark Knight Riseswasn’t well received by many. Now while the James Gunn-directed Guardians trilogy also has its share of ups and downs, a tweet claimed that this latest trilogy tops Nolan’s trilogy as it is “amazing all throughout”.
guardians of the galaxy trilogy absolutely tops this because its the same level of amazing all the way throughout instead of peaking in one movie and the others not being able to reach that at all lmaohttps://t.co/BityN9dDlA

As soon as the fans of both studios spotted this, all hell broke loose and a huge virtual brawl was started to decide the best comic book movie trilogy. While Nolan’s trilogy was accused to peak only in one movie, the fans claimed that the comparison between a CGI-heavy MCU action flick to a much more grounded and realistic take asThe Dark Knight Trilogyisn’t valid.

Fans war over the best comic book movie trilogy
AlthoughGuardians of the GalaxystarringChris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and others is a great franchise under the MCU umbrella, it cannot be denied thatVol. 2received a significant amount of mixed to average reviews. On the other hand, even after being a trilogy, one needs to watch theAvengers: Infinity WarandEndgame,and also a Holiday Special to follow the events of the latest Guardians movie. So while the MCU fan held the James Gunn trilogy at the top, this point acted as a major claim against it.
Let’s take a look at the diverse perspectives of the fans of the two superhero universes.

U cant compare the 2 gotg is comedy..what still separates the dark knight trilogyis the writing n the realness to it..gotg is all cgi its fake lol..i mean ofc everyone is gonna have there opinion but just cus nolans trilogy started was over 15 years ago doesnt mean its washed..

NO MCU Trilogy can top it because every MCU Trilogy requires you to watch Avengers movies(or Holiday specials) in between, making it “not a trilogy”
No MCU Trilogy in a vacuum of just the 3 films is complete. Thus none of them can surpass or even match TDK Trilogy.
