My Top 5 Franchises I Hate Cause of the Fanbase.

Posted by NewPhoenixFilms on July 14, 2012 at 2:00 PM

Hey guys, I'm not dead yet. I feel fine. I think I can go for a walk now. I feel happy! I feel-THUNK!

                                       


Anyways, movies have a magnetic appeal to a lot of us. It either catches our hearts, speaks out for the child in us or takes us on an adventure we've never been on before. That is until people grow up and later films just suck to their opinion, not that their opinion is worth two quarts of piss which is exactly what opinions are worth nowadays. Fans go from loving and defending to desecrating and destroying. Films do NOT get any sympathy from the devil himself. So, let's see what franchises I hate cause it's fanbase just downright sucks.



5. Transformers.


It's pretty much obvious. The Transformers were given a makeover to make them actually transform pretty badass, but the G1 fanbase hated it. Are they out of their fucking minds? Look at the blocky cartoon versions. Now back to the Bayformers. How can a bunch of metal blocks transform without scraping together? However, this is a minor gripe. We all know the reason why we hate the BAYFORMERS, which they have been christened as. Let's move on.


4. Batman (Burton/Schumacher).


Ok, Everyone hated Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, but they also hated Michael Keaton as Batman well before the movie was made. Also, the excuse that in Batman Returns that Batman is a murderer is beyond fucking stupid(Excuse me). I mean, he blew up a building in the first movie, killing probably 100's of the Joker's workers, killed one man by throwing him down the bell tower at the end, and was the one who shot a tie cable round the Joker's leg. He's done this before! It's because of the crying about Batman Returns that Schumacher ruined the Caped Crusader for two films. Anyways, let's move on.


3. Twilight.


Let's get down to brass tacks. I've only seen two films: Twilight and Breaking Dawn part 1. The first was just pretentious shit to me and was preparation for my date with my ex-girlfriend, may she burn in hell for taking me to see it. The fourth movie, oh my god... It broke me. It mentally broke me. I was watching my ex-girlfriend lust after two hot guy on a big screen while I suffered the agony my bipolarism decided to inflict upon me. I'm glad I left her cause this fucking torture of this shit is enough. What's worse is: There's a fanbase... of grown mothers that like this shit!!! One was recently killed and there was a rumor that a Twi-Hard set someone on fire cause that person hated Twilight! IT'S A MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!!!


2. Star Wars.


Ok, for good reasons I should hate it. One: It's supposed to be a kids film, right? Why is there Government talk in the fucking saga? Two: Mido-Chlorians? You mean I can't be a Jedi cause I'm not infected with the kooky bacteria?? and 3, directly responsible for 1 and 2: George Lucas. I know that my previous one did in fact defend him but valid reason have changed my mind. He's too obsessed with perfection. His work is his own, not anyone elses that could or have made the film better. He refuses to release the old original releases when he re-releases a newer copy, with shittier cgi. This is mostly why I can't bear to look at it. Another is the delusion of the fanbase. You asked for more. You clamored for more. You even hated Lucas' other films like WILLOW to warrent him the chance to direct his prequels. Now you turn around and tear him alive. Way to fucking go.


Number 1 is: Indiana Jones.


It's a soft spot in my heart to mention Indiana Jones. Adventure, Action, Danger, Peril, and a lust for life all put in one trilogy- what? THEY MADE A FOURTH ONE? FUCK YEAH! I BET IT WAS AWESOME! *Le comments about Indy 4* Aw, fuck this. Yes, the infamous Indy 4. I can barely watch a clip or the whole movie cause fans mention how Indy 4 "Raped" The franchise. Really? You're gonna twist the words of Trey Parker and Matt Stone around to delude yourself further? Go fuck yourself with a rusty hook(Apologies). Seriously, this is an age where we can't enjoy anything. So what if there was CGI, it was minimal. So what if there was Aliens? You can't be serious about the religious shit you are babbling on about. So what if Indy is 65? He can put a boot in your ass anyday. Just give me one more film to end on like Last Crusade. Hear me out, when Temple of Doom came out, people did not like it either. Spielberg decided to make Last Cruasde as both the Farewell to the franchise and the Apology for Temple of Doom. Fan reaction: YAY! If an Indy 5 came out just like Last Crusade, then all will be forgiven, provided Lucas keeps his enlarged neck off of Spielberg's baby.


That's my list, I'm gonna scream into a pillow now.

OMG Phoenix I agree with you wholeheartedly about all of these fan bases. These people will stop at nothing to convince you that their opinions are gospel. I will never forget the day in college where I had to debate with seven guys over The Burton Batman films and the Schumacher Batman films. I also hate the Mass Effect fanbase that will pull out all of the stops to convince you that the ending to the trilogy was so much more than a rushed, haphazard piece of shit. Great article, hun.

Lemme guess: the same guy that wrote about killing the Nostalgia Critic and raping Lindsey Ellis? That's not fanfic, that's a warrant for the arrest and possible psychiatric incarceration of the person.


Oh no man, I'm talking about this guys called The Black Knight

tis why sometime fan boys as well as girls need to just chill. lot of time they are so nip picky on ever detail of a movie they do not enjoy it as a whole also fan boys and girls sometime do not know when to let a franchis end it's run. let take Indiana Jones for examole. i was well known in 1989 the Selbrght did not wante to do aforth one and yet everyone keep passering him to do it and now that he did they hated it because it was nothing like the other
they had complectly forgotten that the movie was a 17 years apart form each other and the act was also pushing 60. not to mention that they nip pick every litle deatail to death tht they did enjoye it for what it was worth.
In all i do think fan boys and girls need to take it easy when it come to movie fanchis and understand thatnot everything is going to be to your liking. not everyoneis gonna agreed with the movie you lovve. and impostanly not to nip pick


Well a combination of Lucas and fan service did the trick. Both effectively(and let's hope to whatever spirit not) killed the franchise right there.

Indy 5 = Adventures of Tintin


Wrong. Sorry, but Tintin is it's own work of art. I want an Indy 5 that seals the cap on Indy's journey.

Mother of god... I heard of a girl getting trampled and suffocating at a Justin Bieber concert but one Twilight fan girl was killed? And there's a rumor a person was set on fire? That's fucking insane.

Yeah, hardcore fans are pretty creepy to boot too. I know a guy who does nothing but make fanfics on... A certain reviewer. Let's just say, I don't talk to him anymore; what with his obsessions and atrocious rage when someone talks bad about their favorite reviewer.

So a Twitard set someone on fire...just for not liking Twilight? Dude, I've seen butthurt before and that was BEYOND butthurt. Reminds me of an episode of "iCarly" (I can't believe I tolerate that show) where the entire world flipped out because a character said that he didn't find Fred funny. Heck, another character literally attacked him for his opinion. Ok, that episode wasn't as extreme as death by flame, but when the world is being taught that people are idiots for not liking what's popular, I almost lose hope for humanity.
As for fanbases in general, there's always gonna be that one who makes that fandom look bad. Star Wars, Doctor Who, MLP, you name it. We just have to remember to not be like that. Good list.
Edit: Oh, it was just a rumor. I gotta learn to read the entire section before I speak. But I stand by what I said.

Ah yes, the fanboys. This is why there are some moments in which I can't discuss my hobbies, my favorite shows, and movies. They can either bash them or talk nothing about them and overlook everything else. In order for you to love and appreciate everything that this world has to offer, you have to love more than one thing. I feel that's why some fanboys are shown to be narrow-minded and moronic. Great article.

Hi Phoenix. CLAP!....CLAP!....CLAP!....CLAP! BRAVO! that was an awesome rant of truth and comic brilliance, my friend. 50 geek points for quoting Planet of the Apes in #3 LOL! I completely agree with you for all of these. The Fanboys really tarnish what otherwise are pretty good series(well.....maybe not so much Transformers...but the first one was great.....)....er, and I meant that Twilight should be grounds for locking Stephanie Meyer in an outhouse and lighting it up with napalm, but I digress......Great article. Peace.
