EW debates the most polarizing issues of the small-screen in 2017

DC vs. Marvel:
NAT: The CW has spent years adeptly building out its rich, interconnected TV universe across The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, leading to the network’s best four-way crossover yet with Crisis on Earth-X. (It was legitimately better than Justice League.)
JAMES: “Better than Justice League” isn’t exactly high praise. I’ll admit this was Marvel’s worst TV year — Inhumans, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher were all a step down from last year’s Jessica Jones. But Hulu’s Runaways is promising and… have we mentioned Jessica Jones returns in March?

Netflix vs. the Rest of TV
JAMES: The streaming service cranked out new show after show this year that became the title everybody was talking about (13 Reasons Why, GLOW, Mindhunter) while spending an insane $6 billion on programming. They’re one Game of Thrones away from running the board with their growing audience of cord cutters.
NAT: Five words: Stranger Things 2, episode 7.
