Yes. Joss Whedon fanboys and fangirls should drink antifreeze.

Oh dear god they are the worst. The movie was OKAY. It wasn't some world-changer.

I haven't dealt with anyone overly obnoxious about either of those. Grown women who freak the frick out over Twilight and act like you've missed the second coming of Shakespeare by not reading the books are annoying. I'm sure we'll be adding 50 Shades of Grey to this list once the movies start churning out (we already can for the books).

“There are two novels that can transform a bookish 14-year-kld’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish daydream that can lead to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood in which large chunks of the day are spent inventing ways to make real life more like a fantasy novel. The other is a book about orcs.”

Lord of the Rings. Always jumping on people if they didn't think it was the greatest trilogy ever...which of course it isn't...but it's personal to them for some reason and they won't stop talking about the movies and books. It's like a cult.

Harry Potter fans were pretty annoying.

I can dig what's inconic about Mel Brooks and Monte Python movies, and have had many good friends that love em-but when the quotefest begins I either have to split or drink.

Mighty Ducks. We all know the redistricting was a sham. Ducks should of never gotten Adam and Hawks would of dominated and 2 and 3 would of never been made.

This is the correct answer. I also dislike Lord of the Rings fanboys. The movies were great but some people take it overboard.

There's nothing wrong with Trekkies because they know they are cultists. I like that about them, and they are self aware that they are niche. It's when cultists think everyone should be a part of their cult that I get annoyed. Which is why Star Wars and LOTR fans are the worst. They refuse to accept that I liked their favorite movie, and nothing more.

Christopher Nolan fanboys are the fricking worst. At least the ones who post here.
