This graph plots IMDB scores over the years and compares the top ratings that are over 8.0.
This graph compares money spent vs money grossed worldwide in USD where the radius of the bubble corresponds to Metascore.

Marvel vs DC - This is one of the controversial topics among people of all ages. Both of them are involved in a lot of fields like comics, movies, TV shows, merchandise..etc and each one is ahead of the other in a specific field which leads to variable results. In this Assignment, I have chosen to compare MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) vs DCEU (DC Extended Universe). The dataset for this comparison is taken from Kaggle and it consists of movies released from 2003 to 2019. The movies that are present in this dataset belong to one of the two universes. I've used JS to pre-process the data retrieved from CSV. For chart generation, I'm using the following attributes - Metascore, IMDB ratings, budget and worldwide gross.
The left graph shows a multi-line chart with year on the X-axis and IMDB score on the Y-axis. The years in which there was a movie release lies in the range of 2003-2019. Here, MCU movies are depicted via red line and DCEU movies are depicted via grey line. In this graph one can interpret that out of the top highest rated movies (score above 8.0) majority of them are from DCEU (The Dark Knight Rises, Joker, The Dark Knight). Though MCU has maintained a score of 7.5 on average, DCEU holds the top spot in terms of highest rating. Hence in this graph DCEU wins.
The right graph shows a scatter plot with the budget in Millions of Dollars on the X-axis and the Overseas gross in Millions of Dollars on the Y-axis. Also, in the scatter plot, the radius of the bubble is determined by the movie's Metascore rating. From this graph, it can be clearly seen that MCU's returns are much higher than DCEU's. For MCU, movies like Avengers: Endgame the returns are nearly 8x and at the same time, there are some big flops in DCEU like Jonah Hex which earned just 10.9M against a 47M budget. Movies like these significantly affected the overall position of DCEU. Hence in this graph MCU wins.
My personal position on this comparison is that MCU is the winner. Most of their movies are profitable at least giving a return of 1.5x and their IMDB ratings are consistently above 7. Though DCEU tops MCU in terms of the highest score in ratings, they are not consistent in getting great scores. Only a few DCEU movies gave a lot of returns and secured good ratings. Also, MCU has consistently produced and released more movies throughout the years compared to DCEU. For these reasons, I think MCU is much better than DCEU.
