im side stepping his arguments at this point. we both know he just wants to stir the pot. bringing up twitter is just laughable.

As long as you set your expectation to that, I can't really do much to help myself.

It's not my best point and it isn't fully developed, I got ahead of myself on that one.

The only reason I reference that is because 10 years ago we did not interact at the level that we do today with these properties. At least not at THIS wide a level. We certainly did with fan groups, passed around fan fiction and what not. But it's completely different now. Look how many threads are started on movie production. We did not have the access we do now. Is that true or false? Do we know more ahead of time?

If we know more ahead of time now, is it really ridiculous to say that maybe back then, confusion was easier? Or at least just not as well controlled? (Again: Can we really say definitively that Smallville and that version of Clark had nothing to do with the success of Superman Returns? I'm NOT saying the opposite, I'm saying we can't be sure. That's all.)

Note: This is not a discussion for this thread hence why I let that string kind of lie. The Twitter comment was just meant to say, "Times are different, the mass public knows more now about these films than we did then." That's it. But it was, again, taken negatively.
