We in the United States are renowned for fandom when it comes to sports such as football, basketball and baseball. We root for our hometown teams like we are apart of them. We care about the people involved and we usually hope the best for the team we root for. For me its the Buffalo Bills, even when they were at low parts in their past I’ve loved them through all of it.

For others there’s another different kind fandom that makes people feel the same way as I would at football games. This kind of fandom is on the movie screens that gives people impactful looks at characters and story lines that people fall in love with. One of these include Galaxy Quest a remake of a TV show that was meant to be a comedy and a serious story line that has helped story lines of movies even today. Galaxy Quest was kind of like a parody of Star Trek that had the special effect of involving a lot of people that really loved that movie story line.

Another story line that we have seen take on fandom to a high extent has been Jaws that has personally made me scared of deep waters in the ocean. Both these movies has provided a platform for fandom to become over used or even satirical. People become so invested in a movies story line that it becomes a part of their lives.

Fandom is a very important part of how society works with sports and in movies. There are many different films that have brought about that kind of mainstream fandom. Some of which are Marvel series, Star Trek, Star Wars, and many more. It is a great way to involve ourselves in the films and make them a part of our identity.
