Everything shown here is just the tip of the iceberg of what DCEU fans have to deal with on a regular basis and sure, it's extremely easy to tell them all that "this is what happens when your movies suck," but that's a complete cop out excuse for this level of consistent hatred toward one singular franchise. The critics refuse to let it go, the boss of Rotten Tomatoes is openly slamming it on Twitter and the bloggers find a new way to stoke the fire and get clicks on a daily basis all about the DCEU and it's "troubled" existence. Whether there is a conspiracy against it or not, how can we look at this evidence and not understand even a little how someone could believe there is indeed a conspiracy against it? Marvel Studios and FOX have lost directors, replaced actors, delayed production on movies and have released films that not everyone in their fanbase cares for, but where those two companies seemingly get a free pass to conduct their business of making movies, everything that happens to WB and DC right now gets scrutinized and seemingly twisted into a negative right off the bat.

There are many fans who say that part of the reason this is happening is because WB has not done a good job of handling these situations with any kind of announcements or public relations to put out the "hater fires." The thing is, there is so much of it that for the studio to acknowledge it all would mean wasting valuable time on a regular basis just to deal with unfounded clickbait every day. Not only that, but WB HAS been forthcoming with announcements for the past several months regarding their movie properties, including Gotham City Sirens, Aquaman, Man of Steel 2, Black Adam and the solo Batman movie. This is all with two DCEU movies in full post-production for 2017 releases as well, so if there is indeed a conspiracy it surely is not working.

The bottom line is that there is ample justification for DCEU fans to believe in either a bias or a conspiracy against the franchise based on how it has been treated in the past year, and again it is far beyond a simple "I dislike these movies" or "I disagree with your opinion" as many opponents of DCEU fans like to dismiss the arguments with. This isn't a case of so many people being upset because people disagree with them, it's a case of so many people being upset because no one is listening to them and just writing them off as crazy or a delusional fanboy. A number of the bloggers and critics of the DCEU have commented on Twitter about how reprehensible the fans have been to them and how many they have had to block because their lives have been ruined. A few of them have even blocked me. There is no justification for anyone getting personal, levying threats or being blatantly insulting to someone else for a disagreement, but there is no accountability at all on the part of these bloggers and critics for the messages they convey to the audience they have. It should work both ways where there is accountability for both, but because there isn't, this is what we have and quite frankly, it sucks.

I don't want to write about how there just might be a conspiracy to tank a comic book movie franchise, especially the one that I love the most, but I like many others can't ignore what's being tossed out there constantly against the DCEU. I'm not personally willing to say it's a conspiracy, but I'm more than willing to let that voice of the fans be heard in some legitimate sense. So please, think about that the next time you immediately strike to call a DCEU fan crazy or delusional for thinking their franchise is getting intentionally crapped on. All it takes is a quick look from their perspective to see where they are coming from, even if you don't agree with it.
