Because fans are emotional, dumb babies [[NostalgiaFilter who feel like there's sanctity around whatever cash grab they personally grew up with]]. And for that reason, they cannot be trusted to accurately say if the movie is going to suck ass or be a timeless classic like ''Film/IndependenceDay'' and its goddamn incredible sequel.

If you want to stop caring about something, just talk to a hardcore fan of it for five minutes. Between [[EpilepticTrees insane theories]] ([[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Morty is actually Rick]]) and pointless nitpicking and complaining (does ANYONE who watches ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' actually like it?), they suck the joy out of literally everything. I remember a quote that read, 'I never knew ''Franchise/StarWars'' sucked until the Internet told me.' Fandom does this to EVERYTHING. Sports teams, bands, movies, TV shows, books.
