These movies are nothing alike. Armageddon is a dumb, fun action movie while Deep Impact is a character drama.
Deep Impact is a much stronger script, but Hollywood originally advertised it as an “apocalypse” movie like Armageddon, and most audiences have had trouble looking past that ever since.
Not to mention that Deep Impact was worked on by some NASA scientists who were (toooootally unrelatedly) working on the Deep Impact mission and as a result it has often been said to be the most scientifically accurate movie hollywood has made
