Re: Movies 52 - 1917: Sonic the Bad Boys of Prey
I watch Tango and Cash at LEAST once every six months. It is the pinnacle of that type of film down to Jack Palance just eating up scenes with his overacting greatness! My buddy and I quote it a LOT!
Kep,
Sports fandom and geek fandom is very similar...way more than either group wants to admit. I have seen wars on those boards that would put the crap you see around here to shame. Toxic fandom is everywhere. The older characters it can be even worse...for example Superman has had 4 very different incarnations over the years. (actually more but that is not important) There was the Golden Age which was the beginning of superheroes, the Silver Age where he was basically all powerful (and he his covers had him being a total dick...seriously just google "Superman is a Dick" or "Superdickery") and paragon of Truth/Justice/The American Way, then in the 1980s there was the Man of Steel Reboot which wiped away all of his backstory and started over, then in the early 2000s there was the "Birthright" reboot which kind of rejiggered it back closer to the Silver Age. I have seen fights on boards where dozens get banned fighting over this. I have seen people almost come to blows in person over this. Me...I think they are all cool because all mythologies change over time and are interpreted the same way. (and this stuff exists for almost every character in some form or another...hell Spiderman literally almost was cancelled due to lack of sales over a reboot like this)
This is also whyfans flock to every reboot as well. Comic fans are used to this crap...every time Marvel or DC needs a boost they change something and renumber to boost early sales. (like a team that sucks having a giveaway to boost ticket sales) Then they kill someone off for shock value. Then they make a new version of said character. Then they have their major event (which used to be every couple years, then every year, no multiple times per year!) with 27 crossovers forcing fans to buy more issues than they want so they can keep up and have their collections complete. (The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the perfect representation of what comics are for better and worse) Meanwhile the smaller stories are cancelled fast or join the crossover to boost sales and maybe get a 3 month reprieve. This leads to splits in fandom which further divides the base and then leads to another event which brings back the old version of the character to exist side by side and make things even worse. That is why comics as a medium are failing. They are just IPs now...even the MCU couldnt get people to read more comics...
Sorry back on topic...
