Politics; you stick with your party, regardless of your candidate, true too.
Pop culture; you latch on to the source material, and bemoan anything that deviates.
You can probably count on half a hand the # of "comic book" movies that have come out that didn't have the fans outraged at the differences between the finished product and the character's original/ most widely accepted representation.
My experience posting on this site is somewhat limited, but it can certainly seem at times that the fan-bases dissatisfaction with the current product is very vocal.
Then you attach a poll to your thread and all of a sudden the majority likes it.
People like to complain, those that are satisfied are content with their satisfaction.
Dude the movie sucks and only a fan would vote to give it a 4 let alone a 5. Just because fans are being vocal about what they do or do not like doesn't mean that in the end after they log off Hisstank they still aren't supporting the product by buying the movie tickets,toys,and dvd. Star Wars fans pretty much know all three prequels sucked but yet Star Wars still is the top selling toy. Why? I thought the movies sucked? Why would they want to collect anything anymore after those horrible movies? Because they are Fans or better said collectors. For the last time...this poll is on a Joe Fansite. If it doesn't show here that people like G.I. Joe where else would it show? Yes because its a fansite then supposedly they should be more critical and the poll should reflect that but that's not the case because to vote G.I. Joe sucked is to vote that what they are about sucks,that what they spend there time doing sucks,what they spend their money on sucks,and to some people that is just too much. So they force themselves to like it...for the sake of Joe,you know?
