and in this case, you can't be a real fan if the only thing you'll ever exopse yourself too is the copy of the real thing. and a half hearted one at that.
It's like watching Dragonball Evolution and suddenly saying you love the dragonball universe.

No such thing as "Real Fan".
If I like Fred Wolf series more than others it doesn't make me "not real fan" of Turtles, for example and so on.

No one is saying you can't be a fan of the new stuff. I am trying to argue you are not a real ghostbuster fan if all you like is the feig stuff, which is NOT a real Ghostbuster movie. simple as that.
but, whatever.

********.
I am not obligated to be familiar with the source material to be fan of something. I liked Batman'89 long time before I had ever encountered Batman comic books. Does it make not "real" fan or something?
The whole definition is so arbitrary and nonsensical that using "real / true fan" argument is a sure way to show that you had lost and have nothing to offer to the discussion at hand.
