Broken Bases-the nature of fandoms
See, I'm a member of many fandoms, but only a few of them I truly have investment in. Almost all fandoms have what TVTropes calls "a broken base" aka a critical issue that divides the fandom almost irreparably.
So, here are my opinions
Star Trek: Not enough experience, but I like both Kirk and Picard, and I can't really decide between them, as I like both of them.
Star Wars: I love the original trilogy, like the prequels (with some reservations), and hate the Expanded Universe (although I do like the tech books)
Batman: Not much experience, but I enjoyed the Silver Age and the Adam West series, and I hate Frank Miller in general
Indiana Jones: I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Temple of Doom, but I acknowledge them as bad and very inferior to Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Last Crusade
Sean Connery is THE James Bond. I like Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. I can't stand Daniel Craig
Godzilla: The Milennium series was an improvement over Heisei, but I only liked Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs Megaguirus. The others were very bad. Final Wars and All Monsters Attack were terrible (I'll write a comparative article on them later) . Destoroyah is a female, Kong and Godzilla fought to a draw, The Showa series was the best. Godzilla should be an anti-hero or destructive hero. He's going to save the day, but he doesn't care how many people die when they get in the way
Disney: I enjoyed King of Thieves and Lion King 1/2, but the rest of the sequels are absolutely awful
Horror: I like Lovecraft, the Twilight Zone, and Hitchcock. Slashers suck.
Transformers: I'd like to get into the series, but I have to say that both the animated movie and the recent live-action trilogy were some of the worst crap I've ever seen
Harry Potter: I'll try to keep it short: The first five books were great, the last two were terrible. Snape's a bad guy. I ship Neville with Hermione. It doesn't matter if Dumbledore is gay, but she should have put it in the books. The books are for both kids and adults. Rowling's interviews are not canon, and are awful anyway
Lord of the Rings: The movies actually improved on the books. I'm sick and tired of all the slash (seriously, one day I'm going to write some LOTR het). Balrogs have wings, but the one in Moria's had atrophied. Tom Bombadill is a Big Lipped Alligator Moment that has no business in the book.
Twilight: Sucks.
In case anyone is wonder, I do not care about Dr. Who. Yes, it looks good. No, I'm not interested.
Narnia: The first couple books were very good-Silver Chair, the Magician's Nephew, and, above all, the Last Battle were terrible
Simpsons: I like both new and old episodes
Clone Wars: I liked the cartoon. I hate the animated series. Ashoka Tano is the Wesley Crusher of Star Wars
Not interested in the Final Fantasy games. I love the music.
Sylvester and Tweety are the weakest Looney Tunes characters.
