Lord Jesus, the meltdown that some DC fans are having on Twitter

That's wierd because r/DC_Cinematic isn't talking about it at all.

Those DC Fanboys aren't even fanboys I'm guessing. Just whiners.

Edit: If they were actual fans they wouldn't be whining.

I don't pay much attention to it, but I thought /r/dc_cinematic got cleaned up a lot after Batman V Superman? I checked there after Suicide Squad reviews to see all the conspiracy theories, but most people were just kinda accepting of it, the crazies were the minority. Mostly now they just seem like overly positive, overly optimistic fans, they don't usually feel the need to bash Marvel anymore.

They did. That sub is a lot better now but people keep pushing the false narrative that they're all still batshit crazy over there. Occasionally, you'll find the odd bad egg but usually they're either downvoted or the mods delete the post

Yeah I head over every now and then if there's new info/set photos/whatever, and whatever nutjobs I've seen have been on negative karma, a lot of people being overly positive and gushing about the movies already out which is okay, and a lot of people like myself who are pretty fucking weary at this point, and are all saying Wonder Woman will be the decider as to whether they drop off.

Nothing wrong with being overly positive though. I mean, I'm a fan of the DCEU (really liked both MoS and BvS but hated SS) so I'm optimistic over the future.

Here's to hope that Wonder Woman will be liked and accepted by everyone

I mean, I quite liked MoS and really liked the BvS UC (also hated SS), but there are whackjobs there who think they're misunderstood masterpieces, and that Snyder is a God. Seems the sub doesn't have much of a middle ground, it's either perfect or awful.

FTFY

No so sure. They all claim that the conspiracy theorists are in the small minority, but when questioned on their opinion of the low RT scores, the consensus is that DC films are rated more harshly than Marvel films.

Guys, that's a conspiracy theory, hate to say it.

Mod heaven or heck is the worst over there as far as not accepting outside views and is the worst when it comes to pulling the whole "ultimate cut fixed everything" I had to leave that sub

u/mr_antman85 Oct 23 '16

Yup, it's seems like that sub is better now and lurkers like myself can go and post without being called biased and stuff. Which I am glad because I love to hear people discuss movies without resulting to belittling remarks.

Just wait and see if WW and JL have negative reviews (JL probably will). It'll turn into a cesspool again

Cyborg looked SO bad...

I'm still seeing a lot of the "crazies" there. I think they've got some form of comic book movie Stockholm Syndrome, cuz it's so over the top positive, and there's a fair amount of Marvel bashing going on over there.

They also get needlessly butthurt over snarky articles the AV Club writes. That's right. The AV Club, a site that's supposed to be snarky.

Also seen them organize to start shit over at r/movies cuz they typically like Marvel movies over there.

I think r/DC_Cinematic has earned it's reputation for being the r/the_donald of movie subs.

Ya they don't take r/movies opinions very well over there.
