I still need to think about the previous anon. Because sadly it shows that most fan/creator interaction are really negative. Really often big creators completly ignore their fan base, purposefully contradict fan wishes, only answer fans to boost their own ego and only answer to criticism to make fun of it in front of millions of followers. In short, many creators misuse their position of power to be allways the cleverest person in the room. And of course that results in frustration among the fans because they learn they can only achieve something if they are loud bullies.
some creators show how it works much better. That is up the creator in the first place to create a positive, respectful environment and for the fans to follow. Because if you take your fans seriously, talk with them on the same level, and listen to both their critique as well as their compliments, creators are much more keen to sometimes follow fan wishes, and fans to accept creators decisions. Because their is an equal understanding
I am not saying that creators can answer every answer but they are different ways to handle it anyway. Christopher Mcquarrie f.e. Makes Q&A sometimes with his fans. Neil Gaiman answered everything here in tumblr. And Todd slavkin allways saw what questions where most urgent Among his fans and answered those. He also added fan wishes into the show, same as Bryan Fuller. So not every fan/creator interaction is negative, positive interaction is possible if some fans stop being dicks and creators realize they are also humans who are only doing a job, because if you think marvel creators write the story for themselves... that would be really naive
