I read once Helen Slater stayed away from conventions for a while because some dude let his hand wander where it shouldn’t have. That kind of stuff happens and I don’t blame em. You could tell Jesse Eisenberg was really uncomfortable at Comic-Con.
To me kids should get a pass because of course they are going to ask some questions that have been gone over before or seen silly but if you’re an adult of a certain age I’d say use some common sense when taking up these peoples time. They goes for everything.
Some celebs are just d!cks. I’ve heard Fillion can be and that’s one reason Castle got cancelled. If I were famous I’d make sure there were some limits for what fans want or what they did but I’d always try to appreciate the good ones that are basically paying the way for my lifestyle and at least be considerate. To the good ones. Not the guy asking for ten autographs outside their house to sell on eBay.

To the good ones. Not the guy asking for ten autographs outside their house to sell on eBay. Agree 1000% with what you're saying here. I attended a cosplay panel out of curiosity (It was a cheap convention, so no comic book nor tv/movie celebs)- and was sad/shocked to hear about the 'dark side' of fans who would harass (or worse) cosplayers at conventions. (Sad that it became necessary for signs to be put up to tell people to behave themselves.) Fillion is hilarious at cons, but that time was a turnoff, I admit. I'd read a lot of fans of Castle (which was not a bad show actually!) - turned on Fillion when he wanted to continue on with the series without his costar (who apparently hated him and vice-versa). The good/bad about cons is that there seems to be so many of them at this point, that I think a lot of things that would have been big problems are addressed in one way/ another. The downside I'm having issues with I think is the greed of cons by not allowing taping of panels and are cracking down on them. I get the panels not wanting others to profit off of them, but why don't they put it out themselves? I can afford some cons, but a lot of people can't afford to go to any. But, that's a pet peeve. To me, it's just good publicity and promotion for a convention if video does get out there. Who wouldn't want to see some of these things in person if they had the cash? |

The biggest reason I’d go to a con would be for the cool stuff, the merchandise, and to check out some of the fan costumes and cosplay. I’ve seen some amazing fan made costumes that even outdo the movie and tv stuff. The time and effort some people put in is insane...especially when the costumes are functional.

I’ve seen some amazing ten made costumes that even outdo the movie and tv stuff. The time and effort some people put in is insane...especially when the costumes are functional. I agree completely- that's why I get EXTREMELY pissed when a fan has a costume that's close the comics, looks good, and works- and then have the big budget counterpart nowhere close to faithful because the costume designers/ directors say: "We tried, but we couldn't make that costume work in reality". To those professional costume designers on big budget movie sets, I say: TRY HARDER. If fans with no money can do it better, what's the excuse? |

Supergirl season 1. WOOF. Those costumes for Red Tornado and Indigo were dreadful. Not really impressed with the shows make up either. Brainiac 5 was borderline but we are a long way from the make up on Star Trek and Babylon 5. It’s like there aren't many people that even know how in most sci fi and fantasy tv now especially the DC CW shows. Kryptons version of Brainiac blows away what they usually do on Supergirl.

How the Dark Knight killed the DCEU I agree with most of this- That was pretty cool- especially liked the DC cosplay battle bit (wonder where that came from?).... but was it just me or was half of this youtube video sped up? ;0 |

Snyder would make a great art director or cinematographer- and/or just be responsible for action scenes- but, yeah..... it's unfortunate. Having said that, I still think his movies are far more rewatch able than Green Lantern and Catwoman... |

At best most of his movies are fine. They’re watchable. He’s got to have a good writer and story though. He’s not the type to recognize a flawed script and whip it into shape. I don’t think his dc films have Catwoman level bad scripts but I’d say their scrips are on par with green lanterns. What puts his films over that one is the visuals.

His visuals are his saving grace from making his films worthless... either he has a terrible editor or he does not know how to get good performances from A-list actors. On another note: What kills me is that Berlianti wrote the horrible Green Lantern script! |

There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen on Green Lantern. It’s hard for me to blame Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim because of that. Even Geoff Johns worked on it. Green Lantern is the textbook example of a bad film made by committee.

Did Snyder also ruin this forum ? I think the film just showed how people can disagree in different and colorful ways....  If there were two separate forums from the outset- those who loved the Reeve films and those who loved the Man of Steel, then it might have been better.... (On a side note on MOS I still think there are a lot fresh things in it, but a few too-many appalling things that were non-negotiable. (which may or may not be able to have been fixed by fancuts) |

Did Snyder also ruin the fandom ? Fixed All kidding aside...it was a divisive film. It didn’t just fracture this forum but the fan base at large. It was an emotionally abrasive film and I think some of that rubbed off. Superman fans are passionate and I think some of that spilled over into the debate because the characters is such an institution that people had strong feelings over the changes. I think a lot of people wanted to love the film and were defensive and a lot of people didn’t like the film and were defensive. |

The same thing happened with Superman Returns and I think that already left a lot of people emotionally drained and skeptical for a lot of reasons. MOS took the reactions to SR and cranked the emotional response up to 11 though. |
