I mean RT even admitted their site gets review bombed https://www.inverse.com/article/53523-captain-marvel-rotten-tomatoes-review-bombing-explained
They fly now?
I mean... you could just see it because you are interested in it and then form your own opinion.
It does make me laugh when people complain about cringe lines and then defend the prequels
There is a lot of nuance to the scores, on the whole I would say they are mostly meaningless (or at least should be) as they don't always reflect the reality of the general audience or how we personally feel about the reviewed content.
my favorite is when people say the bike gang in Book of Boba fett doesn't belong but say nothing about the 1950s diner in Attack of the Clones.
This is actually one of the things i'm somewhat enjoying about this show. Not everyone is a fan of the Republic, not everyone is a fan of the Jedi. It shows that they became a little too powerful perhaps, and lacked the foresight overall for what happened next. Sortainteresting -- SORTA lol
They’re great, great movies, but a lot of the dialogue in the OT is famously clunky as well (if not as glaringly awful as the PT).
Also, there is a difference between professional critics reviews, folks who sign their name to their words and usually have editorial oversight, and an aggregate “fan” review score that can be easily manipulated. You have a non-professional critic you trust? Great. You trust a number that can be voted on by a collection of bots and folks who never saw the show or movie? You’re pushing a narrative.
It's all fairly useless, that's really the point. Is there data you can take from it? Sure, but it's pretty limited. And a lot of that data can be speculative. It's also really not that hard to pick out the troll reviews. If you see a reviews like "this show is a plague on society" or "amazing talent absolutely revolutionary". And that's it, without any other details, you skip by and pay no mind to them. Personally I've never let an aggregate review site influence my decision to watch or pass on a piece of media. Also, realistically a 17 tomato score will probably help the show more than hurt it. If it was right down the middle, I think people just pass it on by. But a 17%? Oh man, we have to check this out and see what all the fuss is about.
Thank you, thats what I'm saying. There's zero point to try and defend this show, when it has some awful dialogue.
Probably. But it make it any less lame. Just like Anakins "Yippee!!!". If it's lame it's lame. How the show ends will determine how people view it in the future.
Why? I don't think I've ever heard someone on here defend the prequel dialogue. That's the one thing EVERYONE seems to agree on. I'll defend them from a story standpoint. I'll take the prequels story v.s. the disjointed choose your own adventure nonsense of the sequels. No one on here has ever defended "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." But I think you know that.
I'm sorry what? how was that your take from what I said
Because people point out the cringy dialogue is the reason they dislike this show… but that for some reason did not ruin their enjoyment of the prequels
That's true. There are people focusing on the wrong things. Notice I didn't say fans. But that article? "the new live-action series is also one of the best additions to that galaxy far away in a long time" Come on, the best yet? As of now it's not anywhere near the top in my opinion. That's not to say it can't end up that way. But articles like this are just as big of a problem as the "toxic" articles in my opinion. It's just there to try and lump any real fans who aren't as optimistic about the show into the toxic bucket.
