I can sort of see what you and some of the other anons are saying because even as a MCU fan I have observed that the last two Avengers films especially are seemingly beyond criticism. As in, anyone who says anything negative ("wait, that didn't make any sense" etc) usually gets dog piled in some circles for just not understanding genius or whatever. It does get a bit like, the films have made loads of money regardless of what this one critic thinks, why do you feel the need to defend them so hard?

Very much not against people passionately defending something they enjoy, I do that too. But sometimes it seems to come close to crossing over into something else.

I don't think I've ever observed similar behaviour with a clothing brand. I'm not sure how that would work...something like "that t-shirt is a little dull for my tastes" "YOU JUST DON'T GRASP THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE LOGO CONTRASTED WITH THE UNCONVENTIONAL STITCHING IN THE COLLAR!" ??

And I bet those people probably exist! Like, clothing brands probably do have stans. This is the Internet, after all. But that would also... suck. Like... right?

One of my high school bullies tried to humiliate me in front of everyone be shouting about how I didn't have a designer label schoolbag and I'd dared to slightly touch hers with my "shitty" bag as I was setting it on the floor in the general proximity of hers.

So absolutely I can believe there will be clothing brand stans out there somewhere.

It was a very long time ago but I once had someone tell me with no irony that they liked to judge people according to what they wear. They said they were wearing a Lacoste shirt and Lacoste shorts (at the time a fairly nice brand.) I told them that the clothes I was wearing came from K-mart (also true) and it was like they did not know what to say about that. I'm not sure they even believed me.

I... do not understand this way of thinking at all. Like not even a bit.

And yet the Last Jedi seems to get the opposite response where you can't like it without being piled on and how the narrative is that it is an objectively terrible movie and that everyone hates it, even though neither of those things are true.

[sparklywalls]

That's a good point actually! Yet the driving force behind that seems to be coming from a similar area in that it's still people being really protective of a brand. It's just unfortunately for TLJ/Star Wars the official people behind it did it "wrong" hence the opposite reaction to anyone who says they enjoyed it.

It's probably a whole other comment or phenomenon where I find it odd how alleged loyalty means people are essentially hate watching. Nostalgia isn't a good enough reason to stick around if you hate the experience that much.
