      pretty much every fandom. Doctor Who fans turned me off watching it (the ones on reddit by far being the worst). Star Trek fans are even the same with stuff like Starfleet Academy.

      It’s to the point now where if I like something I don’t even talk about it online. except for 40K. that fanbase is hilarious.

        Oh, you didn’t stumble upon the part of the fanbase that likes and paints their Imperial Guard in historical inspired colours. Or the ones that like their Black Templar a bit too much. Or the ones that want to “purge the Xenos” irl.

        Plus the way overdone shovel meme.

        Doctor Who and Star Trek drove off everyone with any kind of sense years ago (I quit DW after the first Peter Capaldi season and I haven’t watched any Star Trek media since the JJ Abrams movies) so it’s not surprising that their current fanbase aren’t exactly providing stimulating conversation.

          They aren’t good but there are good ideas in them. I really like the setting and world building that is barely featured in the actual movies lol

            The original movies were made by a collaborative team, hence the quality. The prequels were made by emperor Lucas. I’m not saying he was overbearing, but at that point he was a legend. Who was going to tell him something was a bad idea or that his dialogue sucked? Nobody. But during the original trilogy the cast was constantly complaining to him about his dialogue.

            Star Wars was perfectly capable of being screwed up before Disney. Disney gave us crap, but they also gave us some of the best Animated star Wars, they oversaw games like Fallen Order and Jedi survivor, they oversaw Rogue One and Andor. Yeah Disney can make crap Star Wars but they’ve also made some of the best since the original trilogy.
