Real talk: the worst anti-fanboys are those people who seem to hate every single popular film. Don't get me wrong - I've heard plenty of intelligent, respectable criticisms for each one. I also have my fair share of successful films I dislike, such as Transformers 2 and Thor.
But man, it seems like the bulk of TDK/Inception/Avatar/etc haters are just seriously ****ing stupid. Their posts rarely even rise to the level of intelligence found in YouTube comments.
That's not really anti-fanboyism, it's just general snobbery. They aren't hating because of something involved in it, they're just hating it to hate it.
I guess you have a point. It seems like a surprising number of them have serious issues with Christopher Nolan/James Cameron/etc., though... it's almost kind of creepy at times!
Both have legitimate problems, as every major writer/director/actor/developer/etc etc does, but that doesn't stop them from being amazing.
Hell, King is my favorite author, but he has some serious problems with pacing and character originality.
