We, as fans, hold our favorite franchises to the highest regard! We will argue, fight, and if we could, force choke you to death over them. I KEEL YOU!
For generations there has been Star Wars vs Star Trek, Marvel vs DC, which Dr. was the best, who could take who in a fight, and countless more. We travel hundreds of miles to meet our favorite actor or artist at ComicCons, spend thousands of dollars buying all the newest merch, and proudly display our fandom for all to see in shameless mirror selfies on Instagram.
Recently Force Friday showed us this with the majority of our local walmart, target, and several other retailer's shelves being completely blown out by 12:15am Friday morning...
Over the last few years some of these franchises have gained a massive new following thanks to big budget Hollywood films. The MCU has produced some of the highest grossing films and biggest box office openings in Hollywood history. Star Wars episode VII is surrounded by more hype and anticipation than most films to date, and for most of us, we can say that we have been around since before all the hype. But what does all of this mean for us that have been around since the beginning? It means that today is a great day to be a nerd, my friends, a great day indeed.
