Damn those people who like the same things I do! I could just kick all of their asses. Especially if they're enthusiastic about the fandom or just getting into it. We should squash that as soon as it starts. Next thing you know they'll be learning more about it and participating in discussions!

I hate the assumption that because you're new to something, you're stupid. I hate it so much that I can't even be witty about it.

	I hate the assumption that because you're new to something, you're stupid. I hate it so much that I can't even be witty about it. Yeah, it's hard to be witty when the people in question are just so mentally deficient in their logic that any attempt to be funny is overshadowed by the giant gaping hole in common sense they employ.

	Erm... I'm having trouble parsing that, so I'll assume you meant them. ^_^; ahem. It was just an aside; I know most people can be devastatingly witty about anything, but I'm just too RAR KILL MAIM to engage in repartee about it. Me smash elitist oldbie with big club!

The comment who said that if you "go around saying 'omdgfsgdksg nightcralwer ifsz he best! WE SHUD GET MARRIED' and you don't know shit about him, then THAT's annoying" got it pretty much right. Everyone is a newbie at some point, and if there were no newbies then fandoms would die out pretty damn quick.

Besides, who's to say that the people who start "on the bandwagon" won't just stay for the whole ride?

	And then he'll try and import Japanese-only merchandise, and hit the Yahoo!Japan auctions to make sure he's cooler than everyone he knows! Then someone will remind him that Japan is a real country, and that people there have normal access to Japanese goods. And he'll cry again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Really, it's just another form of a dick measuring contest. I've been a fan longer than you have! No I have! I'm the better fan! No I am! STFU!

	Bollocks to that. I started liking Nightcrawler when I saw him in Evolution, but I saw Evolution right before X2 came out, so it was an intensifier. n_n Then my friend who's loved him for years lent me the mini-series and I read all about him on the intarnet. n_n (Reply to this)(Thread)

I remember first seeing Kurt in some of the episodes of the original X-Men cartoon (you know, the one where Rogue had the big 80's hair XD), and I thought he was adorable (and a hottie) then, so I's one-upping ya! ;P

(Quick, someone come in and talk down to us both by saying they've seen him and been his fan since the very first issue of the comics when he made his bamftastic appearance! :D :D :D)

	Ke ke... actually, some station (maybe the family channel or something) is showing that old cartoon very early Saturday mornings. I caught it once, ahh, nostalgia. Nightcrawler was in the 'be right back' screens, but I'd like to see the episode(s) that feature him n_n (Reply to this)(Parent)

	If I admit that I've never actually SEEN an X-men cartoon, but I used to work in a comic book store about 17 years ago when The New X-Men came out, BEFORE X-Factor even appeared, do I count? Oh, and I named my 17 year old cat Wolverine. Look! I can write my name in snow! :) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	SNORT I have EVERYONE beat. I fell in love with Kurt Wagner after his appearance in X-Men Classics 60-something through God-knows-what and own almost every single Excalibur comic ever printed, before they ceased it (those @#%#ers!). I also fell in love with the comic BEFORE watching the cartoon. But the real question remains: Does all that mean that my penis is bigger? (Reply to this)
