Media can, in general, be gauged as being 'good' or at least worthwhile by the amount of public interest in it, but only on the condition that there are fringe elements in the masses that totally obsess over it. Like, Lord of the Rings was pretty great and you could tell it was because everyone saw it and fantasy nerds LARPed that shit. Everyone saw Micheal Bay's Transformers, but for anyone who actually was still thinking about the original Transformers, those films pretty much just made their eyes bleed.

This is probably not true but I feel like it could be a good rule of thumb. If one of the next, like, 5 posts isn't Smarty or Lumenskir with some incredibly contentious examples to the contrary, I will be pretty disappointed.
