    I actually meant it somewhat sarcastically, but I obviously failed in getting that across. I just found it funny that they would refer to themselves as a Marvel fanboy and in the same breath admit to not watching their best content.

    Having said that, I’ll happily keep that gate if it prevents more dross like She-Hulk from getting made.

      It totally missed the mark even if it was sarcastic. I don’t think a “/s” in the end would’ve saved that.

      Calling yourself a fanboy is perfectly reasonable even if you haven’t seen every episode or movie out there. They like it, they can call themselves a fan.

      Furthermore, not everyone can afford a Disney+ subscription to watch the full Marvel lore or can’t afford the time to catch up. That doesn’t restrict them from being a fanboy.

        We’ll agree to disagree. This just came across as someone calling themselves a Tolkien fanboy when the only content they’d consumed was Rings of Power, or a Star Wars fanboy because they once saw the Holiday Special.

        She-Hulk is objectively the worst thing Marvel have ever put out, and was actively insulting to fans.

        Also, they clearly do have a Disney+ subscription if they watched it. Nobody would pirate that.
