Are these internet friends or RL friends? Internet friends are liable to leave you behind in favor of the next shiny new thing they see, so it might be best to let them go and stay in your own niche. There's really no use following them anywhere because as soon as they get tired of their current fandom, they will flock to a new one.

If these are RL friends, maybe you can let them know how you feel and find something non-Avengers related to talk to them about. If they're as good of friends as you say they are, they'll listen.

That was my thought to. In high school, my RL friends and I had almost all of our fandoms in common. Well, only one or two people in our crew bought the anime and manga, so of course the fandoms were shared.

But now, we're adults, and we don't all like the same things at all. I mean, Person A and Person B might like Item 1 while Person B and Person C like item 2, so there's a little bit of stacked sharing. But, y'know, we're real human beings and we've been through a lot. Sometimes I'll be in the room when a bit talk about Insert Video Game Here breaks out and I feel a wee bit left out, but mostly, hey, it's cool, I can roll with it.

+1

frankly, this is why I finally got out of fandoms all together. my online friends moved on to other things, by the time I got there and caught up (due to real life, jobs, money lack) they'd moved on to the next new shiny.

I couldn't keep up and they just jumped from one fandom to the next with no sense of sticking around.

show was done? BORED NAO MOVING ON.

after a while I got tired of trying to keep up. as I wasn't keeping up, they didn't find any use for me and ceased talking to me.

so I left my online life behind.

I still lurk around the edges of fandom but I don't engage any more. I find that I'm happier that way, in the long run because I can enjoy at my own pace and not have to worry about 'keeping up.
