If you want to claim offense…then don’t create a strawman that “review bombing” is tanking bad movies…or to be fair: “unwanted movies”
You miss the point, or more likely you purposely ignore it because it doesn't fit your narrative, and I'm not playing your game.
And that’s my point…this is a strawman
You are correct.. no good movie has truly failed due to review bombing, nor has any bad movie achieved lasting success purely because of shilling. Audiences eventually make their judgments based on the actual quality of the movie, ensuring that most films find their appropriate place in cultural memory.
In your opinion Does coordinated review bombing work on excellent films? What movie stands out for you?
He said it and you came back talking about review bombing. That was your counter, I wasn't using any cheap tactics. I was pointing out that I don't believe it has a big impact. And you think it does, and that's what I was countering.
Really? Of the worlds movie going population? I guess I should clarify, what do you feel is a significant percentage?
Yes I did say that. I also said there's a difference between review bombing and what I said was most important. And that's word of mouth. By me saying reviews can be important doesn't mean review bombing has some great impact.
I’m really curious how they’re going to handle the important details from the D+ show, with Covid, filming delays, etc it’s been a loooong time since that show aired, even those of us who watched it could probably benefit from a quick recap.
Actually you were the first to bring up the "guys in a basement" aspect in this thread in relation to that. It is a cheap tactic because its purposely used to belittle a poster when there is no other point to be made to try and shut them down. In fact I don't believe I've even seen you use that term any other place until this thread, maybe I'm wrong, but its not something you usually bring up. And its why I say you're better than that, because even if I disagree with you I've known you to at least be able to maintain conversation without stooping down to that level.
As for the rest, I've said my peace. I've also brought up now multiple times, something that no one has countered yet, Feige isn't going to reuse a story line so soon after its use in a movie or tv show, doesn't matter if people here don't think many people saw it, its just not going to happen. There is plenty of other stories to tell in the MCU without having to repeat something that was just told 2 years prior, that is something that DC does with their numerous reboots, the MCU doesn't do that and I hope they won't for a long time to come.
Yes, I described the original statement as guys in basement as the original argument. That was incorrect. It was a few trolls and vloggers, he's used basement many times before so I apologize I got it wrong. I'm not sure how the two are all that different but the point still stands, you brought up review bombing so that's what I was responding to. I wasn't trying to belittle you. Here's what I was responding to, the statement and response.
And I stand by what I say, that review bombing just doesn't really do anything in long run. It doesn't matter who it is, that was the point.
It might not have been your intent, but its still a term used to belittle another during an argument, similar to the term "take off the tin foil hat". Which again I think you're better than that, or at least I hope you are.
There you go talking in absolutes again…. That is not always the case
Name one…just one
I also didn't realize reusing the same story line was considered compelling, I had always thought it was consider lazy and sloppy storytelling. I guess Feige and team missed that memo when they decided to skip retelling the on-screen death of Uncle Ben origin story for Spider-Man in the MCU because it had been done already multiple times.
