Re: Future Looks Bright for Bowen!
You're absolutely right. Our love for Marvel characters invariably trumps all. However, as this hobby community is rather small, it stands to reason that we're bound to see conflicts develop between members, perhaps especially with those who are appear more fanatical than others.
Ultimately, we all have the same right to express our like or dislike for a piece, or preference for one company over another. Some take those discussions in stride. Other members, even company owners at times, appear to respond to that sort of adversity rather poorly and start seeing agendas and conspiracies wherever they turn. Next thing you know, people are dragged into senseless dramas which rarely, if ever, serves any forward moving purpose at all.
Suddenly, the hobby, at least the online portion of it, becomes a bit of a drag. Once a really cool piece comes out, all appears forgotten. That is, until the next mediocre piece comes out. Sadly, what that generally means is that those unable to deal with the criticism and adversity come out to play again. It's a bizarre cycle which appears near impossible to avoid for those who like to frequent hobby forums. It certainly isn't exclusive to Bowen.
