Re: What killed crossover fandoms (ie. Superwholock)?

[(Anonymous)]

are they dead? good.

I'm sure there are a bajillion factors. Fanbase maybe not so much aging as changing tastes, the weird purity culture on tumblr, the lack of actual source material to create and sustain new crossovers, the general fandom backlash to the mere existence of such phenomenon, etc.

I mean, what movies/shows have come out recently that still would mesh with each other in a way where relating them to one another wouldn't be a massive stretch? The animated movie one was because most of those films were aesthetically similar enough to inspire one "what if they took place in the same universe" blog and boom, crossover born. What has recently come out with that kind of cross-fandom chemistry?

I think the lack of source material is probably the biggest factor, personally. But I think everything you listed contributes.

If you look at the sort of fandoms that tend to remain big for a long time there's either 1) popular regularly-released ongoing canon to keep fans invested (TV shows like SPN or DW, the MCU) or 2) a huge completed source to draw from (LotR and the Silmarillion, old-school Star Trek fandom) or some combination of the two (a lot of video game fandoms).

Superwholock and Rise of the ??????s had neither. There has never been an official Superwholock TV show. The next Frozen movie isn't going to feature Elsa/Jack Frost. The only thing to fuel the fandom is fans themselves, and the moment the BNFs and major writers and artists move on, the whole thing collapses.

that's kind of what I thought, having no dogs in any of those fights and only seeing it from the outside. There hasn't been any "new" Sherlock for how long? There was a new Doctor, too. So whatever propped that megaverse up fell apart.
