Problem is? Often enough to the friend with the new shiny won't. Shut. Up. about it - and after a certain amount of time, it gets to the point you are just sick of hearing about it. How long varies person to person, but it does happen - and once it's obvious that you aren't interested in...whatever the new shiny is, said friend should respect that enough to make an effort to talk about other things as well.

The people who are, for the most part, suggesting the OP look at their own behavior and talk to their friend about this are talking about is the OP possibly disrespecting the friend doesn't want to talk about that/that they're *only* talking about the Avengers with said friend - and thus forcing the topic on said friend. No one's defending the friend's actions - it's not cool to say nasty things like that, just that it's understandable why they might snap like that *if* the OP is always talking about the Avengers.

For example, I don't like cosplay. I have a friend who adores it, and loves doing it - which is fine. However, she's been told several times, bluntly, that it's not my thing and I honestly have little to no interest in talking about it - or seeing pictures of random cosplays. I'll put up with her sending me pictures of her because she's a friend and being supportive and what not, but the thing is? Despite having evidence and being told several times? She still ignores the fact I've point blank asked her not to send me the random pictures, or to talk about it often. In that set up? It's on her for constantly bringing it up, not on me *because* she knows I don't like discussing it. Even if I hadn't said it bluntly, the fact that she would have known I have no interest in cosplay means what she's doing is still fairly disrespectful, depending on how often she does it. And, if you look at what the OP says? It's possible to see where the OP might be doing that constantly, in which case? Yeah, I wouldn't blame their friend for being upset.

tl;dr: People are more pointing out that it sort of sounds like the OP might be forcing the Avengers topic on their friend than their friend going out of their way to diss their new fandom.
