Recently I have seen Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, and the teaser trailer for How to Train Your Dragon 2, and I have something to say.

I perceive every single one of them to be a badfic magnet.

Having Pacific Rim, I can definitely say that far too many badfic authors will decide it is worth their time to try and cash into some of the mind-blowingly awesome fight scenes. Plus, someone had the gall to pair a Japanese lady with a 2500 ton robot. I am serious: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9508576/1/Artificial-Empathy

Also, something about the look at Grown up!Hiccup at the end of the How to Train Your Dragon 2 teaser says he's going to be attracting a lot more fangirls now.

I actually looked deeper into some Man of Steel fanfics, and was horrified at the generic Companion!Sues:

and http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9498709/1/You-re-Not-Alone- the first one is about Superman's sociopathic twin brother, and the second is about a girl who just happened to be the same age as Kal-El and ended up being sent off in the same space pod as him to Earth.

Arg.
