Its a fools errand youre going to piss somebody off, Smith told The Guardian. Fandom is rabid and tribal. When I worked on Masters of the Universe, I took a lot of heat from people who felt like I had ruined their childhood. Going near a Marvel or a Star Wars would make me insanely reticent. I know theres some people that are like, Hey, man, this shows woke,' Smith told Variety at the time. Im like, all right, great, then so was the original cartoon were fucking sequel-izing. Go watch it again. There are girls in every episode. Deal with it. As a big Marvel fan and a decent Star wars fan, I don't blame him. The Star Wars fanbase had been shit for a while but the Marvel fanbase was decent until about Captain Marvel, thats when it became terrible and has gotten worse since <cite>Blue_Popo posted [p:968641691] in Kevin Smit...
