You're kind of arguing against human nature. If we do something repeatedly and we don't like it, we're going to stop doing it, unless someone really really REALLY thinks that if we do it their way we'll somehow enjoy it.
I believe the operative quote is from Robin McKinley's The Hero and the Crown, and forgive my paraphrasing as I'm both at work and in the position of not having reread the book in a few months: "Of course I'm letting my experience affect my judgment. That's what experience is for."
I've enjoyed what little movieverse fic I've read, back when Kielle was still actively updating the archive on CFAN, but as I've only been very marginally a part of the comicverse community for some time I'm not sure how much my opinion pertains to the discussion at hand. I can say that using the #subcafe regulars as a population sample (which may or may not be representative, and probably isn't) the general attitude toward movieverse fic does seem to be apathetic rather than derogatory; the subject barely ever comes up, to my recollection. So I haven't encountered the ghettoization, except perhaps by omission--but then, in #subcafe, comicverse fic tends to fall under the same category.
Again, though, I hardly have my finger on the pulse of the community.
