What is necessary to bring you to reflect at least one thing i've said about this topic before you just ignore any words i said to flame me?

KalvinEllis wrote: Let me repeat this again in a somewhat simpler way, it's irrelevant if the brand is big or lesser known, comic fanboys can't make or break a movie like that. These movies and their promotion caters to people who don't read comics or don't take the time to argue with each other on wikipedia pages. This type of audience does not care one bit if someone like me said on social media that the movie was crap. The bad word of mouth came from all of the review sites that these people check out(including RT), not just from comic fans who said the movie would suck after they didn't like the debut trailer. The people who were not convinced to go see the movie, saw the reception it got from "professional" critics, and chose not to spend their money on it, while a lot of those that did, came back saying almost nothing good about it. There were many, many people who did that, combine the fact that the movie didn't open in many foreign markets for months and you get the result. Guardians on the other hand was embraced by both the "professional" portion of the critics, as well as the opening weekend movie masses. Even if fanboys had shunned the movie, it wouldn't have made any difference because it was already embraced by the people that "matter", while in the grand scheme of things, fanboys' opinions simply "don't matter". you dont got that i mean after all ^^

its like  a "Shitstorm" about a person who says something that let the internet get angy.

you underrestimated the power of social networks. The Fanboy Hate for the Green Lantern Trailer (just the Trailer) created an "Anti-Hype" for the Movie that was influencing a lot of the other critics (RT) and brings the studio of that movie to try to redone the special effects.

a rating of 3,6 from 5 at amazon is not a rating for a movie everybody hates. Also the RT Rating for "Man of Steel" is 55% why he didn't flop?

i agree with a lot what you said but its a fact that the Fanboy hate for GL is an important part of its box office failure. To deny that is just stupid, why can't you see that?

"Green Lantern did fail because the most people think it was a bad movie".

Can we agree on that?

Adios. seriously take your own advices! You are also not the mouthpiece for everyone on the Planet, because you know that a lot of people didn't think the Green Lantern Movie is a bad Movie!

And can you stopping to qoute the entire postings all the Time?

Adios? You mean you dont answer to my textings now? hm i dont belive this somehow. ^^

@LucasVerBeek

try to understand what i am saying or arguing with me about it! To quote a other person and write something like "ditto" doesen't count for me ;-) The fanbase of a movie definitely has some influence towards a movie's success. Not a huge amount of influence, but the fanbase can stir up interest, so they do have a small part in if a movie does well or not. Green Lantern was, in most people's opinion, a bad movie. This is mostly why it failed, but the fanbase's criticism towards it had some influence.
