re: How can DC get things so wrong, and Marvel get them so right?

How many people are serious of upvoting and downvoting as a tool to reveal an opinion?

I don't know. You tell me. I know I use it to reveal my opinion in an anonymous way.

Congratulations?

I'm telling you that since people probably use upvotes/downvotes for a variety of reasons, and the fact that you don't know and I don't know, means that you really can't use those votes as "Cult of Marvel" proof.

For instance, I downvoted every one of your "Wonder Woman Achieves another $50 million dollars in Box Office" threads not because I didn't like WW (I did), and not because DC makes plenty of dumb decisions that i don't agree with, but simply because you insisted on creating a new thread for every small increment of its box office instead of either bumping the original thread or creating one "I want to constantly remind people of how much money WW made" thread.

But you still used the down vote feature because you disapproved of something I was doing, did you not?

I think the point is, the downvotes you've been receiving aren't a "Cult of Marvel" thing, they are a "cult of anti Rolltide1987" thing.

And that's because they dislike my opinions on Phase Three of the MCU, thus reinforcing the "Cult of Marvel" thing.

I downvote you because you seem like a pompous, whiny douchebag that thinks his opinion is above everyone else's. It has absolutely nothing to do with Marvel vs DC.

Case in point.

That's what you want to believe to feed your narrative. Maybe you get downvoted because of the way you go about things here. Or many other reasons.

Or maybe there's a Cult of Marvel?

Yea, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Well, by your own post and admission:

As to the "Cult of Marvel" comments, they stem from the fact that you can't criticize or even question the decisions made by Marvel in some of these films. I came back from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. II, explained why I didn't like it, and promptly received 20 down votes within the span of 10 minutes. And it's not like I hated it just to hate it. I had some complaints that I thought were legitimate and got freaking trashed. Almost two months later, Spider-Man: Homecoming comes out and I write on here how much I liked the film and can't wait to see Tom Holland in the role again. Not a single up vote or down vote.

Do you realize your logic here? If there was a cult of Marvel your GotG would receive 20 downvotes, while your SM post would, theoretically, receive 20 upvotes in return. As in, those same people who belong the cult would always upvote pro-Marvel opinions, and always downvote anti-Marvel opinions. I mean, this is specifically what a "Cult" or organized group of people would do.

The fact that there were no upvotes on the Spider-Man post would logically say there is no cult and that possibly your review of GotG was wrong or ill-supported, or it has more to do with you as a poster, or you posted too soon after people were out of the film excited so they over-reacted, or that your review of SM wasn't interesting, or, again, a variety of reasons beyond the films themselves.


Again, as some here do, you are looking for data to support your assertion to place your preferred films in an "underdog" position so you can have someone to fight.
