What is a troll?  Is it someone with a differing opinion, is it someone that argues back and hold’s their ground?  Is it someone misunderstood by the website itself?  No.  It is someone that thinks their opinion is so important that it matters more than everyone else’s.  And that is all I see now.
 
Some of you will barely care about what I have to say, and that is fine.  I am done.  I am 20 years old, and this website has officially lost all significance to me.  I don’t care that you hate Batman v Superman, or that you love it.  I normally just look out for a good debate with someone so that I personally can better understand what I love about movies in general.  And what do I get?  A rotten tomato score thrown in my face.  A backlash about liking a movie.  A person that goes on every feed that I see with the words “Batman v Superman” and says the same shit that no one cares about.  And the worst part is, that I see people defending them.
 
I don’t know, maybe it’s because I have actual human interaction, but I don’t have the brain power to comprehend the argument “maybe if I say it enough times, people will care about me”.  It's almost like complaining about having to click a NEXT button.  I had what was actually a good back and forth with Levi, who hated the film.  He brought up an issue, and I brought up why I believed him to be wrong.  And his response?  He actually stated why he felt I was wrong.  He didn’t say “you’re wrong because I’m right”.  No, he actually gave a good counter argument to what I said, and that is what I love about film, is that a conversation can go both ways.
 
I love movies.  I don’t care, I know a lot of you think I’m anti marvel, but in reality, Iron Man is one of my favorite comic book movies.  A lot of the MCU film’s honestly don’t make it, but some I really do like, like I like Batman v Superman.  But I won’t attack someone for a differing opinion.  Have a conversation, sure?  But not troll.
 
To be clear, a lot of you I like.  LEVI, I disagree with your opinion, but you make valid points.  Nomis, you are awesome.  WakandasSoul, AlexanderLykins, ComicsBornandBred, you guys are all cool.  There’s a few great people here.  But the trolls are way too vocal for me, and honestly I don’t need the negativity.  I am a full time student with a full time job studying to one day become a doctor.  Negativity is the last thing I need.  So, for those of you that I like, I hope the rest of these people grow up or act their age.
 
And to the trolls: don’t ever for one second think that you are correct.  Just because you scream louder than everyone else here, doesn’t mean anything because in reality I feel sorry for you all that you actually have all this time to go on this website and have the mindset to only comment negative things.
 
And to the people that don’t care: I didn’t make you click on this.

Think for yourself I always say. Your opinion is the only thing that matters. Never buy into negative persuasion.

Trolls only exist if you believe in them.

I agree. 100%. You can tell the maturity level from the comments posted. Marvel and DC have their share of trolling fans. And it takes away from the enjoyment of CBMs and this site.

It really isn't one person that is bugging me, and thats why I'm leaving. The fact that so many people are so negative and work in hyperbole is disgusting. Mr.SundayMovies and TypicalFanboy have it correct, its either Best Movie Ever or Worst Movie ever on this site

Sorry to hear that and I understand why you feel this way. It sucks there are a lot of trolls on this site and it doesn't help when we got guys like Wilding making flame war articles to incite the trolls to go at it harder. I left IMDB for kind of the same reason but more on the fact that IMDB has about zero moderators on that site and unless you actively threaten someone or use racial slurs there is about zero they will do to stop trolls. So that site is nothing but a breeding ground for trolls. What is a really shitty fact of life is unfortunately the internet itself is a breeding ground for trolls because anonymity creates this the false bravado that you can say whatever to whoever you want and because they aren't face to face there is no consequence. So again sorry to see you leave but in the end walk away knowing you leave this site not because the trolls forced you out but that you see more value in real life they staying here trudging through the sludge.

I know I should feel bad, but its like a 10 years old kid got angry to his friends and said "ill never talk to you guys". Kinda juvenile

As another medical student with a job I feel ya, I have no time for bs from fair weather fanboys. I guess I avoid the worst of it bc I don't engage with em for the most part. There's a lot of great podcasts out there about cbm's, which I count on instead for enjoyable discussions about these movies.

Hope you come back one day, man (or just start lurking on here)

While I do agree that people should respect other people's opinions, many also need to realize that criticizing the movie is not a personal jab.

I personally try not to argue with people who simply say they like the movie. Hey, good for them. I liked it, too. But that doesn't mean it's good.

But when people who did enjoy the movie are going around saying it's objectively a masterpiece and spouting off scenes they claim to be perfection when they're very clearly reaching, that's when I step in. Not because I feel I have to, but because they posted something on a public forum that makes me think they need educating on.

You can like any movie you want and you should be able to like it, but that doesn't mean you're immune from criticism when you start saying it's better than it is.

Sorry to see how much this is bugging you. We may have butt heads before but I think your right. That's pretty much why I wasn't here for a while. Had better things to do. Lately been back on more, but it's going right back down the toilet again. There's ridiculous trolls on both sides. Some I find hilarious so they don't bug me at all. Some, I don't even want to talk about. After some time away you will miss certain aspects of all of it. You'll be back I'm sure.

@Jimmierustler - Yeah, while your trying to figure out unintelligent things to say here, BvS is over there, breaking box office records. 400 million on opening weekend? The only thing in shambles now are your life goals.
