* If your only exposure to the various books in the [[X-Men]] line is the [http://www.uncannyxcast.com/main/?currentPage=2 Uncanny X-Cast] podcast, you'd get the impression that it's just accepted that X-Force is the only consistently good book in the line, X-Factor is entirely useless, and Greg Land is a wonderful artist. Start with virtually any other online reviewer and you'll come away with the impression that it's a universally accepted, scientifically proven fact that X-Force is rubbish and X-Factor is the only X-book worth reading, and that it's literally impossible NOT to believe that blindness would be preferable to having to look at Greg Land's art. It's not that both sides disagree, it's that they seem completely unaware that anyone in the world holds the other opinion. |

* If Wolverine was as universally reviled as a [[Black Hole Sue]] as a lot of online fans insist he is, it seems rather unlikely that Marvel would have kept using him as a reader draw for as long as they did. Oddly enough the comic fandom seems to have acknowledged that there is a large contingent of readers out there who drive decisions like this, that simply quietly buy the comics they like rather than getting loud and opinionated online... but the zealous fans, rather than admit that their opinions are not as universally adhered-to as they might otherwise seem, have instead elected to be outraged about the existence of these "filthy casuals" whose opinions don't count. |
