The hype is certainly, uh... intense.

[philstar22]

How exactly did the fandom kill your MCU love? I don't get that, but my experience in this fandom has been mostly positive. There aren't ship wars for the most part, just people loving what they love in peace.

Personally, this is my favorite MCU movie and one of my favorite movies ever. I think it was really well done and that it had the perfect balance of plot, action, characterization, and message.

[(Anonymous)]

For me it's the over-exposure to it. Seeing so much of it on Tumblr in gifs, fanart, fic, etc... It just killed any interest I may have possibly had in the source material.

[tabaqui]

What you said. I don't get how fandom 'kills' anyone's love for anything. If there's an aspect to fandom i don't like, i avoid it, and seek out places that are better/more interesting/not hostile to what i like.

[(Anonymous)]

I first thought it was the best thing I ever experienced. It's still one of my favorite movies if I divorce it from fandom. It really did kill, in particular, my enthusiasm for Bucky/Winter Soldier.

[(Anonymous)]

It didn't kill my interest in MCU, but I do agree with you.

Fandom suddenly turning on Tony because Steve is now the Golden Child is getting really grating and tiring. Tony's my second favorite (next to Bruce, who at this point I am very glad he doesn't get this much fandom attention), so seeing him constantly vilified by fandom (be it through CW speculation or that awful 'Tony says a Tumblr rage button unpopular opinion and starts the CW meme') is very exhausting.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll be honest, as someone who's never much liked Tony, I'm happy see this happen.

Though I do wish people hadn't gone to quite such an extreme, Tony's woobiefication was always the most annoying part of the MCU fandom because he's by far the character that least deserves it.

[(Anonymous)]

That meme isn't making him a villain. It is just stupid jokes.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you serious with this? A meme is your evidence of vilification?

Forget Tumblr fandom, Iron Man is still by far the most popular character in this franchise for the mainstream moviegoers, okay? Be happy with that!

[(Anonymous)]

I think most of the Tony hate steams from the fact he's overexposed and always gets the most attention, even when he's in movies where he's not supposed to be the main character. (Avengers, Age of Ultron, etc.) So it's mostly backlash. And even though I don't hate Tony, I can definitly see where fan's frustration is coming from.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I get it's backlash but it's very annoying with how OTT it is. And because most of fandom still has pockets of people who think liking a character who's a jerk makes you a misogynist or something.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't have problems with the meme, but my problem are the "hilarious" posts where it's basically: "Tony doesn't get the joke! Tony isn't part of the team! Tony isn't invited to the party! Tony isn't our real friend!"

I'm not saying that Tony can't handle it...he's a character. But there are people who can relate to Tony who have ALSO been subjected to that kind of bullying. Me, for one. You might saying "well, it's just a character" but it's difficult to take these kinds of posts as jokes. I would also be offended if those jokes were centered around Steve.

[(Anonymous)]

The slashers certainly need calming down a little a lot. The way some of them go it is just a three hour orgy between Bucky and Cap (and Tony too, for some reason). It definitely needs its Hydra/NSA behavior is bad message amped up a little, and needs to make the parallels between Hydra and the NSA-Military Industrial Complex a bit more obvious. And also needs to not tie into AoS at all, but that is more a problem of AoS retroactively spreading its own brand of crappiness over everything after the fact.

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't get this.

Like at all.

The fandom is OVERWHELMINGLY positive.

And if you don't like it, you can just step back.

Sure hearing people squee about Bucky might get tiring if you're not into it (he's by no means my favorite character). But you can just ignore it you know. Pull away.

[beardappreciationclub]

Nick Fury's beard is decent, but this promo shot doesn't showcase it nearly enough.

[elaminator]

All I can suggest is to blacklist Winter Soldier stuff. Sometimes you just need to take a break from fandom and come back later when the desire strikes you.

I was quite obsessed with Winter Soldier for...months, haha, many months, and I imagine some of my followers got tired of it as well. (The ones who weren't into it themselves, anyway.) Eventually I needed to move onto something else too. (It never got to the 'omg, I hate this fandom' phase, as I still think it's a lovely fandom and one I'm likely to go back to, but the fic in particular started to feel too familiar and I'd reblogged certain scenes like...14 times and figured that was enough.)

[kamino_neko]

The fandom spoiled this movie and AoS for me (no, I should not have to see it the absolute moment it came out in order to avoid being spoiled on a major plot point by your goddamn gifspam).

So, while they haven't ruined my enjoyment of the MCU as a whole (just made me start a policy of adding every imaginable MCU-related word to Tumblr Savior whenever a new one comes out), I getcha, OP, I getcha.

[nanslice]

idk this has easily been one of the most pleasamt fandoms I've ever been in. But I guess if overexposure is the problem, I can see how it would be a huge annoyance.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think the movie itself is overrated. But I suspect that if I spent much time in the fandom, would get frustrated too, not being a Bucky/Sebastian Stan fan. As it was, I looked in after I watched the movie, realized it was all Stucky all the time, and have pretty much just stayed out of it after that.

[(Anonymous)]

Look, IM3 and Thor TDW almost put me in a coma, which seems not to be an uncommon occurrence. Previous to that, I wasn't blown away by Avengers (admittedly, that is uncommon). GOTG is just a fun ride, I can take it or leave it. TWS is literally the only reason I call myself an invested fan of the franchise at all. It deserves all the love.

You can always just sidestep the fandom stuff you don't like anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who loves Sam and Natasha and likes Steve, but who couldn't care less about Bucky and who doesn't like Stucky, I pretty much stay out of the fandom. But it hasn't killed my interest in the movie, fortunately. I'm sorry it did that to you.

[nightscale]

See I do agree that fandom has blown how good TWS is out of proportion a bit, but I still love the movie and it's my favourite of the phase 2 films so far so I can deal with it.

(What I don't like is how some people have now decided that since TWS was so good we need to trash the other movies to make it look better? Like no, I like all the films, go away with that shit).

NOT A SECRET: I loved this move.

SECRET” I also think it’s overrated and its fandom killed my love for the MCU fandom as a whole.

Saaaaaaaame.
