& I've been on both sides of this. During the Spidey debacle, I supported Sony (as the underdog, no less; how far we've fallen) Despite a consensus that Spider-Verse was the best Spidey movie, there were SO many saying Disney's interpretation/control was the only good way (2/

Just because they made some shitty Spidey movies, all of a sudden Disney became this savior who was the only hope for live action Spider-Man. Similarly for Fox/X-Men. Sure, the series was inconsistent but Disney never would've taken the risks to make Logan, Deadpool, etc (3/

Clearly, anyone with any sort of artistic integrity should want Disney broken up & these IPs spread out. Sure, the "universe" would suffer, in the case of Marvel, but overall, the future of films, creating/distributing in theaters, especially local ones, would greatly benefit (4/

But I think it also leads to a lot of bad faith when discussing the art itself. People wrap up so many assumptions. Defending a movie comes across as being a Disney shill, as if we can't hold those two concepts in our head at the same time. Hating Disney/still liking the art (5/

JK Rowling is an asshole, but we can still take comfort from Harry Potter. Or discuss the flaws! Disney is actively ruining the entertainment industry, but we're allowed to have real, honest, & thoughtful reasons to like Star Wars. Or not like it! The whole thing just sucks (10/

I really hope we'll start to turn around the monopolistic practices & the toxic cesspool that is today soon and get back to just arguing fan theories and ships without such vitriol and toxicity. Unless you're just a misogynist or a racist. Then fuck off outta my fandoms. (11/11)
