EDITORIAL: Why DC Fanboys Need to Stop With the Defensive Editorials

I'm pretty tired of the defensive DC fanboy articles that dominate this site. There are other things to write about. Can we get a fresh topic any time soon?

This is the third article I have written, and at no point during the writing process of the first two did I ever think to myself "What can I do get on the main page of this website?" I didn't choose a trendy topic just to get attention. Instead, I choose to write with a little bit of integrity by choosing a topic that hasn't been overdone on here.

The same cannot be said, however, for the majority of the articles pertaining to the recent CBM releases from DC/WB. The users who have been writing these articles must be motivated by one of two (or both) reasons.

1. They are simply choosing a topic that will manufacture attention and start a flame war.

2. They are so insecure about the DC CBMs that they cannot restrain themselves from writing a lengthy article defending them.

This needs to stop. This site is becoming monotonous and bogged down with stupid flame wars. Where is it written that both Marvel Studios and DC/WB can't succeed at the same time? In fact, I argue that the better one studio does, the more it helps the whole CBM industry. I am predominately a Marvel fan, but I might be more excited about Batman vs. Superman. There I said it. And those DC fanboys that bash every article describing a new Marvel project in the works need to stop and realize that if Marvel succeeds with putting their lesser known properties on the big screen then DC/WB will do the same.

Instead of the same cookie cutter editorials popping up every day, there are alternatives that would make this site more interesting. For example: "Why Martian Manhunter Deserves a Film." or "Why Wonder Woman Needs a Movie". Please can we stop with these articles about why a DC film is the "Best CBM ever" and move on to more dynamic topics?
