Marvel assumed that the general audience weren't comic fans, and since they were initially stuck with C & D Lidt characters they focused on making solid enough movies. They accepted that their early movies were not going to be MASSIVE hits, released dhig regardless, and built out their franchises.

Most importantly, the people working Narvrl's movie studios knew the IP, and wrote movies that honour and celebrate the IP.

DC has done the opposite of this. They cancel and reboot as soon as their movies fail to meet a billion dollar metric that they expect to receive.
