If you want to give attention to segments of the internet, be it twitter or message boards or FB or whatever, where people spew hate and complain about anything and everything, then it is pretty easy nowadays. Just look at the way the media starts controversies about everything by selectively using a few tweets from stupid people.

But what is happening with SS, Fantastic Four and BvS is that fans are reacting very harshly to studio interference and screw ups. Do they make the pendulum swing too far? Maybe but channeling that internet rage is just a darker reflection of how a large segment of the movie going public feels, specifically the segments that have an appreciation for comic book sourced movies.

Deadpool proves the opposite. This isn't just a bunch of people who want everything to fail. But when things fail, they fail hard. And when they succeed, they are the greatest thing ever.
