I've never seen a message board debate end with one party being brought around by logic and reason, but I thought this was a contender.
I guess it's true: you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. |

They were also used to explain how the Force could possibly be handed down within a family. This was established with all the original films. Luke was powerful in the Force because his father was. Leia had latent Force abilities because her family did. That meant it was passed down genetically. Midiclorians was just a name to explain this concept. It never changed a damned thing and anyone who claimed it did didn't actually understand the movies they claim to worship.

If the toys don't suck I'm all for it but I'd like to see a company take a chance on a lesser known line.
The only thing about the 80's I'd like to see stay in the 80's is the fashion. |

The way I look at it is this: There is 2 types of people. First type is the "bandwagon" fan. The fan who likes anything that involves there favorite brand whether it's GI JOE, X-MEN, HULK, TMNT, SUPERMAN etc. These are the people who will defend every piece of shit that is ever put out. These are the people who buy every toy line, buys every shitting movie based video game because it has Wolverine on the cover and these are the people who just settle for whatever they make because they feel it's better than nothing.
The 2nd type is a "hardcore" fan. These type of fans love the original work of there favorite brand. These are the people who would rather re-read 20 year old comics rather than read newer "more hip" and "more up to date material". These are the people who enjoy what first got them to love there brand. These people also accept updates and revisions of there brand when there brand has been treated with respect and remained loyal to the original material. These people tend to be more realistic in what is good and what isn't. A simplier way to classify it would be to use a sports analogy. You have your "hardcore" fans who will follow there team year in and year out. They don't care if there team is 4-12 and stink the place up. They will go down with the ship and still love and respect there team. They know that one day they will return to glory and it will be AWESOME! Then you have your "bandwagon" fans who just go from superbowl winning team to playoff contenders to just whatever is popular at the time. Unfortunally for me, there is way more "bandwagon" fans then "hardcore" fans. Everyone is about making money. They don't care if there following the canon that made the series great. They don't care if a black guy is playing a white guy. They don't care that CC and Baroness aren't suppose to be related. They don't care that SS is suppose to have integrity. They know that all they have to do is get a few things right in the movie, put the brand name on it and millions of idiots will flock to it and buy crappy video games, average toys, silly merchandise and settle for the age old comment of: "at least they made something with (insert brand) involved. It's better than nothing! Last edited by Monkeywrench; 07-31-2009 at 08:12 PM.. |

I think there are as many types of fans as there are fans. |
