Fandoms ruin movie franchises worse than any bad directing or writing ever could.

I avoid fandoms of franchises I enjoy because they end up sucking the life out of everything. When things don’t go exactly as fans expected or want, people turn to the internet to rage at things we once loved. Many of these “dogshit” movies are entertaining and fine as they are. But we’ve become so obsessed with our own expectations of what story a movie is supposed to be or say, that we have stopped allowing others to tell their own stories and show their own visions. It’s just all about ragging on whatever all the time.

This includes: Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, DC, everything in the Tolkien universe, etc. All perfectly fine franchises that just aren’t for everyone and I think that’s ok.

Exception: The last 2 Ghostbusters movies, those movies forgot what the GB are supposed to be about; adult, raunchy, horror comedy.
