And which movie came first? Granted I didn't like Ragnarok but because it came first with those visuals, Dc yet again does MARVEL DID IT. They either hit Marvel too on the nose or go in the opposite direction and the fans don't like it.

Are we getting into another who did it first discussion? Because Marvel's borrowed from DC ad infinitum. Maybe the latter is simply returning the favor.

Either way, when I saw the poster, Ragnarok didn't come to mind. That's not what Ragnarok's poster looks like. Talk about knee-jerk.

And DC hasn't? The fact is BOTH have done that whether intentional like Deadpool coming from Deathstroke or X-Men releasing months after Doom Patrol (with the main similarity being a team brought together who in turn released after Fantastic Four with mostly similar characters.

What I am saying with this one is YES, Wonder Woman is in the 1980's but the poster looks really like they were inspired by the colors of Thor Ragnarok.

Doom Patrol wasn't based on FF. The X-Men were based on Doom Patrol and you can't convince me otherwise. Familiar terrain.

Deadpool is a Deathstroke knockoff created by Rob Liefeld, just as Jim Starlin was commissioned to create a Darkseid knockoff (Thanos).

How about DC having not one but two guys with "stretchy powers" (Plastic Man and Elongated Man) before the appearance of Mister Fantastic? In fact, EM's first appearance is 1960, the year before Reed Richards' first.

Looks like quite the case you're making there. You were conspicuously absent for this, though.

Fantastic Four had The Thing, Doom Patrol had Robotman, both disfigured brutes and the muscle of the group.
Fantastic Four had Mister Fantastic, Doom Patrol had Elasti girl, both stretched their bodies (which yes, DC had similar characters by that point.)
Fantastic Four had Human Torch while Doom Patrol had Negative Man. The looks are kind of inversed, both can fly and create explosions

Yeah DC didnt ripoff Fantastic Four with the initial Doom Patrol. I wont deny that X-Men took elements from Doom Patrol (namely a doctor wanting.the group to be accepted for doing the greater good) but DP took more from Fantastic Four. To deny that is being blind to your pick.

I'm not saying Marvel hasn't and I admitted the Deadpool once since that is widely known. Thanos I can see as a Darkseid clone but done in a different enough way. Moon Knight is Batman with Egyptian iconography while Hyperion and Captain Marvel are both Superman dupes in their own way (Hyperion is far more blatant.) I would even say Quicksilver mimicked Hunter Solomon Zoom in seeking his powers after House of M.

Yep. I saw a tweet last night in which some poster had that same picture of the new poster, and he cryptically wrote, "Seen any good movies lately?"
