Star Wars Madness OTT and Weird

[OverratedSanity]

Also, another aspect is that every one loves to proclaim their deep fandom for the movies and franchise. That's really odd to me. I can understand people from the time when the first three films were released having such craze for them. However, for the next couple of generations, the hardcore fan base should be far less for instance. They would have other things to feel nostalgic about. However, here they are, so many new younglings getting crazy about these films. WTF. It is like every second guy on the street proclaiming they are huge Batman fans despite having not read the comics, say. Every second person in the world cannot be a huge fan of cricket if they just watched one cricket match, could they? And then proclaim they are die hard fans and what not.

I don't know whether you even realise it, but the fact that you used that word is utterly brilliant.

I didn't realise it. It's freaky more than brilliant.

Could have always trusted you to not like Star Wars per say DCYE. You are cool.

I would not go that far, friend.

Part of the appeal has to be the community.. It is nice to meet and talk to people when you have a mutual interest to help you get started.

It's one of those bizarre things I've never really got.. like the universal adoration for superhero films, Game of Thrones and so on.

If anything, I think enough people say they hate them now to the point that people who enjoy them are the actual hipsters.

We come from the same generation growing up in the 90s in India. For us Sachin and Tinkle mattered, not Star Wars.

Star Wars > Sachin

Yeah and unlike those star wars fans we made sure the adoration for Sachin wasn't over the top.

Target magazine was the best.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

But every marvel seems to make close to a billion. Don't your tastes have to be a bit niche to qualify as hipster.

Tantri the Mantri WAFG. Always rooted for the guy.

First time I am hearing about it.

Talking of superhero comics, my friends while growing up used to be crazy about a Hindi equivalent of those called Nagaraj Comics. I never read those either.
