Part 6/11:
A recent controversial opinion proposed that "fans are to blame" for the failures of movies like Superman and Fantastic Four. This notion suggests that audience stupidity or lack of intelligence is the core issue, rather than studio mismanagement or declining quality.
Critics such as John Roa have gone further, arguing that fan negativity is a primary factor in poor box office returns. Roa claimed that fans' perceived stupidity is to blame for underperformance, dismissing broader industry issues like inconsistent storytelling, poor film quality, and misaligned marketing.
