Every fandom has a core to it. they symbolize something that we identify with: an Ideal, a Concept, a whatever (like Gonzo).
A while back, I had a "Spooky Idea"(tm) that involved this Core Concept of various Fandoms.
Basically, it was this: several "fan" people for some uber-contrived reason (the presense of a "Dark Nexus of Chaotic Energy" known as a Plot Hole) gain powers based on their favorite fandom.
they each gain 3 abilities in total.
1. A Gaudy Power - Something Flashy and showy. something a Fan would expect to get. IE: a Warsie might gain SW weapons or Boba-Fetts Armor.
2. A 'Goofy' Power - a draw back or a weird power of little use. IE: a Trekkie might gain Super-Techno-babbly skills.
3. The Fandom Power - the power of what their fandom represents, it's symbolism. IE: a G-Fan might gain 'Uber-ness' of atomic weapons, becoming a rageing, uncontrolable, unstoppable juggernaut.
My chalange to you is to think of various fandom's and come up with at least the 'Fandom Power' of that genre.

Reviewing movies is a lot like Paleontology: The Evidence is there...but no one seems to agree upon it.
"God! Are you so bored that you enjoy seeing us humans suffer?! Why can't you let this poor man live happily with his son! What kind of God are you, crushing us like ants?!" - Kyoami, Ran
