Insightful read.

Superheroes have become the most profitable category in Hollywood – driving box office ticket numbers and retail merchandise sales to unparalleled heights. As we’ve previously reported, there are over forty big screen comic book adaptations (and counting) set to hit theaters through 2020 – and more to follow. With so many superhero movies in the pipeline, moviegoers will understandably have their favorites – prodding passionate discussion among fans whowant to debate which hero (and film) is superior. After all, friendly competition and light-hearted arguments can be fun. That is, until that competition is no longer friendly and that argument is no longer light-hearted.

Hostile and mean-spirited fans have always existed in the entertainment industry; however, a recent rise in moviegoers who revel in tearing other people down, along with the movies, comic books, TV shows, and video games they love, rather than engaging in level-headed debate has become impossible to ignore. Somewhere along the line, a lot of us became the bullies we read superhero comic books to escape from. It might be hard for some comic readers and filmgoers to recall the time before superheroes dominated the blockbuster landscape but, as the genre continues to expand and more superheroes are added to the DCEU as well as MCU TV and movie slates, there’s no better time than the present to clean up our act – and rediscover the joy of spirited (not mean-spirited) discourse.
