So, all I keep reading about on this website is how bad the Spider-Man 3 movie is, and how much crappier the Wii version of the game is than the PS3 and 360 versions. Here's what got me thinking: the movie just broke all the box office records for first week, and the Wii (so far) has been wildly successful to the point of emptying nearly every shelf in stores. So why the hate? This website should be full of Wii fans and fanboys, and equally full of Spider-Man/Marvel/comics/action movie fanboys.

But, I've figured it out. You guys like to hate on the things you like. From what I can tell, you do this for two reasons.

One, you typically feel like a nerd for liking things like the Wii and Spider-Man. In turn, you feel uncool and unpopular. Therefore, you bash those things in hope of allying yourself with those who you percieve as cooler than yourself, that is, people who aren't writing reviews for these things on various websites.

Second, these things that you really love (Spider-Man and the Wii) are so closely connected to you and your personalities that you attribute your own self-worth to these things. Sadly, it seems that most of you think very little of yourselves, because you have clearly voiced very negative things about the things that were created for you and your fellow nerds.

I say this in the most loving way, as I too consider myself a nerd. The major difference between you and me is that I am proud of who I am. I like the Wii, and I like Spider-Man, and I like Spider-Man 3 for the Wii, and I like Spider-Man 3 the movie.
