Caught myself sizing up a date based on their favorite X-Men arc.
It hit me that my comic book fandom shapes how I see real people more than I thought.

Honestly, that's a pretty solid way to judge character if you ask me. Think about it, liking the "Dark Phoenix Saga" might mean they're into drama and self destruction. On the flip side, preferring "Days of Future Past" could show they worry too much about the future. From what I've seen, people's taste in stories tells you a lot about how they see the world. You might be onto something, even if it's a bit silly. Just hope your date doesn't pick a villain's origin story as their favorite.

Can see why you'd think that. @mason.paige's point about fans and their issues makes it even clearer.

Chris Claremont actually talked about how fans pick arcs that mirror their own issues. @rowank69 might be right about the Dark Phoenix thing.
