I give up. This is ridiculous.

And pointless also, to be fair. I can't even read the title thread with a straight face

I’ve never really understood “fandoms,” but this thread’s central question seems a bit extreme even for the most devoted fan.

I’m just thinking, I really like the Universal monster series of the ‘30s and ‘40s, along with their ‘40s Sherlock Holmes series. In the first case, we may even say that there’s a “shared universe” (e.g., Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein—all multiple monsters meeting and interacting with each other). More than that, there are lots of horror fans out there, who were there long before “MCU” and “DCU”—yet none of them would ever say that the Universal horror flicks were “the greatest cinematic achievement”; none would even pose the question.

They just enjoy them as fun little movies, as I enjoy them—and as I enjoy the Marvel series. That’s all.

Anyhoo, you’re right, arguing is pointless. Usually movie cult-followings shine brightly and then burn out. C’est tout.
