This is how I felt about Pacific Rim, and I expect Mad Max to end up pretty similarly. And it was fun while it lasted! It was a true summer fling fandom, there were a TON of graphics on Tumblr, enough fic to actually include a decent amount about the parts of the movie I cared about, and eventually several awesome vids, before it all died down naturally. So if this goes that way, I will be very happy with it!
And honestly I don't think I would've even wanted it to last longer than it did--it wasn't a life-changing movie, but I liked it and enjoyed it and it was fun liking something that many other people did, at the same time that they did. But I didn't like it so much that I could've sustained my interest in it for more than a summer. Movies are hard for me to care about, just because the character time is so naturally limited, so it's always fun when one breaks through that to really grab me.
So basically: active for a summer but not so huge as to be overwhelming (seriously how do ppl even navigate stuff like MCU anymore?!) = pretty great. :)
