White Flag- Let's End the Flame Wars

White Flag- Let's End the Flame Wars

It's a story as old as time that fans of rival CBM studios will fight a bitter online war to prove their superiority. Well, today I'm here to propose something ground-breaking- how about we just stop it?

Anyone who's been on this site for more than 5 minutes will have noticed the mind-blowing amounts of trolling and flaming on the site. Every time an article about an upcoming CBM is posted, the comments section is filled with people bashing one studio or another and calling everyone who disagrees with them fanboys or trolls.
Admittedly, I've only been on this site for a month or two, but even I can see the sheer magnitude of this problem. So I decided to write this article. I am proposing.... (takes deep breath).... we put an end to this.
How do we do this? It's simple. Where you might normally post comments making fun of one studio for a stupid decision they made and praise another, instead try to see the upside. Let's be more positive about the characters we love being brought to the general audience (face it, nearly every one of you is relieved that your frineds & family saw the Avengers so now you don't sound like so much of a nerd).

I know that one article won't stopo all the trolling and flame wars on this site and others like it, but in the words of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, 'Every revolution begins with a spark'. Here I'm trying to light that spark. Let's stop mindlessly bashing one studio and loving another. Instead, let's appreciate that every studio has had it highs and lows at some point. The one thing that unites all of us on this site is our love for superheroes and the worlds they inhabit. So instead of using that as a point of contention, let's use it as a banner for us all to unite under.

If you want to take part in what I call the 'CBM Revolution', all you ned to do is put 'whiteflag' at the end of every comment or article you write. That way, people will know that another user has joined my cause. Thanks for reading!

I usually just post these. Unless it's for FOX-Men.

Asking someone to stop trolling is basically asking a psychopath or sadistic person to stop being a psychopath or sadistic. As nice as it would be to have an end to it, some are mentally not capable of it.

It's more a rivalry between fans of a single publisher.

All studios have good and bad movies, even Fox, even Marvel , even WB.
They all have flaws.

There will come a time when there will be no need for any more war, and it will be glorious.

End the flame wars? Not possible my friend, it's only a foolish, but a good, dream IMO.

I agree, but I think it all comes down to brand loyalty. I will never understand it, I like the MCU AND the Nolanverse, Watchmen, MOS and other DC stuff. I love FoX-Men, Blade series, even Daredevil and Fantastic 4. I like the old Spideyverse AND the new one....why does it have to be one franchise or the other people? Why is it a crime to like it all??

Anyways, ending flame wars is a noble cause for sure. But sadly it's impossible, but hell that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Hell, I'm down to do the white flag thing if you can get a group of a few users to do it as well!

I don't give a shit about studios, I just want good CBMs. It doesn't matter what studio it is from, if they give us a Watchmen, X-Men First Class, Cap TWS, or Spiderman 2 I will praise it! If they give us an Iron man 2, or Amazing Spiderman 2, I say [frick] YOU!

While we're at it [frick] YOU SONY.

Thanks

Have a good day..

Sure it's impossible, but imagine a loved one having cancer, despite how impossible it may seem to cure wouldn't you want to do everything in your power to at least TRY?

I like both studios, and I think fanboys of every studio and movie are kind of silly, but, quite frankly, I think this idea is even sillier. Just let them show how dumb they are, and every now and then try to inject some common sense and actual reason into the discussions. That's about all you can do.

I agree except for Nick...sure he openly prefers Marvel, but he liked the X-Men and Spidey series so he's hardly a Disney fanboy. But even if he was, he doesn't troll or start arguments the way the others you mentioned do...I like Nick, he's a good guy. Hardy what I'd call a troll or scumbag.
