Ill give you my two cents on the whole spiel.I understand where the 'real' batman fans are coming from.At the same time I think they should try and appreciate the fact that their little niche(if you will) is enjoyable to the masses in at least some form.I myself use to have much hate for people who liked Ninja Turtles when the cartoon originally came out.I took that stance like "You dont know **** about turtles!" After time I grew up and learned to like the fact that its mass appeal was enjoyable to people because of that form (the cartoons / toyline)
In my eyes as bad as that aspect of batmania seems we "true" comic fans can still be far worse than the bandwagoneers. I always point to comicbookguy as an example.While I love him, regular folk dont know who the hell 'nestro is , nor can they appreciate inside references to him.
It really busts my balls when you get some snotty comic lovers bi**hing because they found it first, they read the book, they have the f**king posters on their walls. Who gives a sh**?
Elitist bullsh**.
If people enjoy it, they enjoy it. They don't have to put a certain amount of time in to enjoy something. It's there for their purchase whenever they're ready, in whatever medium it's available.
But that happens all over these boards.
Bandwagoners? What's wrong with bandwagoners? Absolutely nothing. Some guy at WB/DC or Sony/Marvel decides that something is good enough for the masses... they send something out to reach a wider audience, and then you have the fans complaining because they don't want to lose their lil underdog baby. They don't want to share something that was exclusive to them for all those years. Some Watchmen fans don't like the film because it's attracting people, wait for it, heaven forbid, that haven't read the book. Why those despicable bastards! How dare they be so callus and conceated by not reading the book before enjoying a film. It's unheard of! They need f***ing shooting. Having the bare cheek to go to the cinema and watch a film and enjoy it for what it is, disrespecting the source material and all.
Sweet Jesus.
'Bandwagoners' lol = people that like the look of something without previously experiencing it in another/original medium. It's absolutely spastic to be thinking in such a way. Can they not just be happy that their baby is finally getting mass recognition?
No. It's like having a best friend who gets a new circle of friends. They may be nice, but they wasn't there to help him when he sh** his pants in second period the year before.
Honestly, I'm getting wound up with this sh**. WTF have you done to me?
