If your friend will be so upset that you enjoyed CW over BvS (which based on critic reviews so far, MOST people will), they are a pretty shit friend.

If they are a DC fan then they probably are shitty since DC has just bent over backwards to reward a serial abuser of women.

Agreed. Taste in movies (or companies, or whatever) should never EVER cause someone to think that they might lose a friend.

I have absolute SHIT taste in movies. I'm completely undiscriminating. I love B-horror films, I love stupid action films, and my best friend of eleven years just rolls her eyes at me. She would never tell me not to watch them or talk about them. I might say, "Omg you should watch this, it's so terribad!" but I'd never be offended if she didn't (or did and hated it).

Even best friends don't have 100% meshing tastes. That'd be horribly boring...

What ever happened to "your fandom is not my fandom and that's okay"? FFS, if your friend will be so upset over you liking CW more than BvS, enough to lose the friendship because Marvel vs DC? Your friend is an idiot.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
If your friend gets nasty or would drop you over you having different preferences than them on some things, they don't sound like a very good friend.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
^What all of them said.

Drop your 'friend'. Or get 'friend' some help because that's not logical or healthy behavior.

This Marvel/DC rivalry is seriously embarrassing me as a superhero fanboy. We're in a golden age of heroes becoming household names, of fandom becoming mainstream, and there's no sign of it stopping, no matter what the snootier critics think. But this absurd rivalry mess could ruin things. These people need to come out of mama's basement and join the rest of us in the real world where we know these things are supposed to be fun.

I honestly can't with any Marvel vs DC bullshit tbh, I like both universes and think they each have plenty to offer, I don't even hate the DC films I just don't think Warner Bros. really know what they're doing with the superhero genre.

But to be fucking honest if your friend is willing to drop you over a movie they aren't much of a friend.

Go see the movie, enjoy yourself. If your friend wants to argue about it, say you don't want to talk about it. If they don't accept that, they are not a good friend.

Life is too short and you should be allowed to enjoy a movie, you're not really hurting anyone by doing so. If your friend claims hurt, they are the one who needs to grow up.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure your friendship is already ruined.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No offense, but if your friendship is so fragile that a difference of opinion over something fictional, it doesn't sound like much of a friendship anyway.

Maybe find people who aren't so damn wanky or at least respect friends enough to also be respectful of friends' opinions?

That doesn't sound like a very good friend. If you feel it'll affect your friendship so much go watch it alone and don't tell them or something?

As a DC fan, if you're going to not only insist that BvS -- or Man of Steel, for that matter -- are superior films to either of the two existing Cap films (or several other MCU flicks, like Thor) AND get upset that someone likes Cap 3 over BvS I think you're probably a childish moron, and that person would probably be better off being quit of you.

In other words, OP, go and see CW; if your "friend" has a big fucking whine and acts all betrayed and shit, drop him like a jizzy potato.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to have to agree with the comments that say if something so trivial can break up your friendship, your friend isn't a very nice person and... well, whatever you want to call your relationship, it doesn't sound like friendship to me.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
+1 to everyone's advice above.

I like nitpicking and mocking the MCU but... I wouldn't abandon a friend over a different opinion. They sound petty and small minded.

Are you fucking serious? Other people have talked about how a friend this lousy is, well, lousy! But otherwise... maybe just... don't tell them?

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Go see the movie alone and don't tell them (and tell other friends you have in common to keep it a secret if you tell them/go with them).
...but seriously, if your friendship risks to break over something as trivial as liking a movie better than another I'd probably not overthink the issue too much. Enjoy your life and your passion alone or with other more understanding friends. You deserve better. ...seriously. you do.

You can either...
A.) See CW and just not tell your friend.
or
B.) Not be friends with such a giant crybaby. Seriously, I'm the most marvely Marvel fan around and even I have no promblem making friends with DC fans. Your friend needs to get over it frankly.

(And anyone who can't accept that BvS is flawed and isn't perfect already raises a big red flag to me imo.)

Any time I see BvS, my brain puts a t in there and I think 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'

If you have this little faith in your friendship, re-evaluate the friendship.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-23 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
As a huge DC fan...yeah, if your friend would fall out with you because you liked/didn't like a movie, then they are not a very good friend. Probably doesn't make the situation any easier, but yeah.

I was not super-thrilled when my MCU-loving friends teased me after BvS, like, "Haha I hope seeing Civil War with us won't depress you too much haha", but it's a brief eye-roller at best.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-24 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
A friend who controls what movies you're allowed to watch/enjoy is not a friend worth having.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Why can't you just go see it and then don't talk about either movie with/in front of your friend? If they can't stand the thought of you walking around thinking "Civil War is better than BvS" in the privacy of your own head, that's their problem, not yours.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-24 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Do you guys not have anything else in common other than comic book stuff? Like someone else said, your friendship sounds awfully fragile if that's going to set them off. Anything where you have to walk on eggshells in order to not upset someone else, that's a friendship you may want to exit out of.
