ad sales argument, yadda yadda yadda.
It depends on who, if its a guy like batman or spiderman, I'd be more inclined to agree, but EMMA , she's a *****.
But I go by arguments, and look at the polls( depending on who, to see if the results correlate), why would people vote for emma out of popularity, its like namor..

I discard polls always as they are simple public opinion. which we've seen doesn't translate into truth.
Sonic for example does not have a chance against Flash, yet he has a 50% chance against him in the gaming section?

If Emma is less popular than Sue and still manages to win in the polls - then shouldn't the polls, if anything, be understating her advantage. Ergo doesn't that make the outcome of the poll at least somewhat more relevant than anything with Wolverine, Batman, Superman etc. in it.
I'm on Emma's side, but you still can't use a poll as objective evidence other than what the majority of people think.
But what the majority of people think does not make something truth.
Even if the Majority are right in any given instance. They'd be right because they know the truth, rather than their opinion MAKES it the truth.

Depends who you're asking then. Some polls will be more valuable than others.
And are some people's opinions more important than others? Who decides whose opinion is more valuable?

Poll of the public on the MMR vaccination.
Poll of doctors on the MMR vaccination.

They have, but the point is about esoteric knowledge.As regards comics- fair point. Was just speaking in general.

Arguments come first, and like I said, I would sympathize if it were a character like wolverine, but it isn't.
It wasn't my argument anyway, the polls just happen to correlate.
