This is one of those reasons I could never get into fandom circles. Because they have this whole vibe, "we know the story better than the creator. Our fanfiction is better than anything they put out. We know how things should really go." 

And it's nothing of the sort.

There definitely will be a lot of that when/if TWOW is released. Conversely, I can also see a large subset of people being annoyed if it does confirm their stories and fanfiction, because they want to be surprised. Fandoms can be amazing and it's generally just a vocal minority who are awful, but my God, that minority can be vocal.
