Soon, Marvel fanboys who poop on Star Trek for getting "bogged down with canon" and eventually contradicting itself will be sitting in a shit-bed of their own making. Because they are fans, they will do as we Trek fans do, and say "who cares, it\’s fiction". But until then they will continue feeling superior. Enjoy it while it lasts.

It might be because DC wants people to remember the character rather than the actor that portrays them. That being said, it is hard for the audience to know what is canon and what is creative input of the writers and directors.
On the Marvel side, it is easier for the audience to know the story of a character from graphic novel to the series to the movies. But it becomes harder to fit a character into different stories with other characters because all of them inhabit the same universe. Timelines would begin to conflict with other timelines. And they all have to fit or they wouldn\’t make sense.

Frankly, I prefer the DC route. As a viewer, it\’s hard to find the time and inclination to invest in a universal approach. When Agents of Shield had an episode linked entirely to Thor 2, it was almost enough to put me off the series (especially had that direction continued). While I like many of the movies in the Avengers universe, I am not a Thor fan and felt a little "held hostage to the cult." With DC\’s approach, I don\’t feel I have missed out by not watching one or the other but can still enjoy the characters as stand-alone or in their respective television series.
