It was nothing but a guess – pure speculation and my opinion – and nothing more. Now, many outlets have picked up the “story” and have run it as either me claiming it to be fact or me claiming it’s “inside info/rumor.”

BULLSH*T! I get that people are anxious for BvS news, but this was ridiculous!

The man behind yesterday’s ridiculous “What if all of Wonder Woman’s Amazon’s race were actually Kryptonians like Superman?” rumor tells the Internet that they should be able to recognize rumor when they see it.

The online reaction to this story was fascinating and depressing – it essentially amounted to “Of course I don’t believe it but I can IMAGINE it being done, so I’ll get mad anyway as if it HAD been done!” which is crazy making, to put it mildly.

2013 felt like a year when fan entitlement in response to things published/filmed/etc. became an accepted, even planned-upon part of mainstream conversation. Will 2014 be the year when we see entitlement based entirely on misunderstandings and preconceptions follow suit?
