Summary

Over the past few years, we have seen harmful division within DC and Star Wars fandom. While no group is completely immune to bad behavior, Marvel fandom has largely remained united during this period. Are MCU fans just a happier group, or are they just as likely to see "fandom" become a bad word in the foreseeable future? We explore these questions in our hopes of keeping the Marvel fan experience a welcoming place for all.

Welcome to Marvel Studios News. My name is Sean Gerber. I will be joined momentarily by my co-host Paul Herman

0:06.8

for episode 82 of our show, which was going to be about The Eternals, but turns out I was the only one who did the

0:14.4

reading so you can join me in berating Paul once the show gets started but don't

0:19.5

worry we will be talking about the eternals very soon and that just gives a little bit of

0:23.8

extra time for all of you to catch up on the reading especially if you have Marvel Unlimited

0:28.2

we're mainly going to be talking about Jack Kirby's original eternal stuff as well as Neil Gaiman's

negative context when we're talking about bad things that are happening and we'll

0:59.2

be taking a look at Star Wars fandom at and DC fandom because over the past few years we've certainly seen a lot of

1:05.8

division amongst those groups which we haven't quite seen amongst marble

1:30.3

we don't see it and hope we stop seeing it for for DC and Star Wars

1:33.8

because Paul and I are also fans of both but anyway we're just going to get into that and

1:37.2

talk about what's going on and how we feel about it and how we hope a lot of this

1:41.2

stuff stops and then also never really bleeds into our
