Re: Inspired by 5 - what was the monkey's paw moment in your fandom?

For Star Wars, either Prequels or Sequels, take your pick. The Star Wars fandom has always been pretty awful and pretty terrible at understanding what opinion is and that people can have different ones. And also terrible about thinking they are owed exactly what they want.

Doctor Who- New Who and then the female Doctor

Tolkien fandom- I wasn't there at the time, but I'm guessing probably when the movies first came out?

Don't fret, you'll get the full experience and more once that Prime series comes out re:Tolkien fandom.

Yeah but until now it's all based on hearsay and assumptions, it'll be an entirely new can of worms when it's actually out.

re: Star Wars GOD ain't that the truth

I feel like Lucas in about 1998 had no idea what was coming. He was giving his loyal fans what they wanted - his ideas for what happened before Ep. 4! He had no idea that they had already built up something in their heads that he could never live up to.

By the sequels, and esp Manda/Fett now, they couldn't use that excuse. They basically knew that no matter what they did, fandom would love it for about a week and then hate it.

Star Wars has always struggled with the divide between those who recognize and love the epic fantasy-great dynastic story roots, and the sad little wank stains who want to rob it of all wonder and majesty and who are only in it for the milfic.

I was there when the LotR movies came out and it didn't seem bad/people acting monkey-pawed?

There were plenty of book fans who didn't like the movies but they didn't seem to be involved in any of the parts of online fandom I was in. They just kind of got steamrolled over by people who loved the movies (which, remember, were crazy popular) and faded away.

Maybe there was a monkey's paw feeling about the Hobbit movies but I wasn't in the fandom anymore by that time.

This is Star Wars biggest issue at the moment, and MCU fandom's as well.
