Disney slash MCU's "Ironheart". Hilarious garbage? (television hobbies)

[Syne]

We've seen this "audience blaming" used repeatedly as a studio tactic

Except that this article is by Richard Fink a reporter for Movieweb and not by a studio. So taking this view avails him nothing at all. So much for that strawman.

Typical genetic fallacy---attack the source when you can't attack the argument.

[Syne]

All of the reviews, from a wide variety of sources, already refute the argument. So the only thing left is to suss out the motivation for being so out of touch.

Google audience reviews 2.9/5
Metacritic critics 57/100
Metacritic audience 3.8/5

"The positive buzz likely triggered a response from people who wanted Ironheart to fail. This led to a review bomb that shaped the narrative around the series, suggesting fans hated it, even though nobody had seen it. This reason should expose the meaninglessness of a particular set of criticisms, but sadly, Ironheart will still be reported and discussed as "divisive" despite the evidence suggesting otherwise. It has an average 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not great, but not terrible by any metric."

If you didn't live under a rock, you'd know that Rotten Tomatoes hasn't been credible for many years now... since they have started essentially selling reviews. They are usually completely out of touch as well. When you have to rely on outliers... especially all the ones this guy named, like 2012 Ghostbusters, etc.. 9_9

Vulture ran an article in September 2023 that raised several criticisms of Rotten Tomatoes's system, including the ease at which large companies are able to manipulate reviewer ratings.
...
American director Martin Scorsese wrote a column in The Hollywood Reporter criticizing both Rotten Tomatoes and CinemaScore for promoting the idea that films like Mother! had to be "instantly liked" to be successful.
...
Rotten Tomatoes deliberately withheld the critic score for Justice League based on early reviews until the premiere of its See It/Skip It episode on the Thursday before its release. Some critics viewed the move as a ploy to promote the web series, but some argued that the move was a deliberate conflict of interest on account of Warner Bros.' ownership of the film and Rotten Tomatoes, and the tepid critical reception of the DC Extended Universe films at the time.[

A studio owns Rotten Tomatoes.

Sounds like another attempt at a genetic fallacy. You pretty much don't have the ability to address actual arguments anymore do you? And why would they lie about a TV series produced by a studio they're not even associated with?

Does "review bombing" actually occur? Yes unfortunately, and quite often:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Review_bomb#History

And yes. Ironheart was horribly review bombed. There's that many dickless losers on the Internet:

Claiming every review that doesn't agree with Rotten Tomatoes is review bombing would require a huge conspiracy... right up your alley. And I'm only seeing that this was review bombed on Rotten Tomatoes... where it has its highest rating.

IMDB 3.7/10
RogerEbert 1.5/4
Collider 4/10

[Magical Realist]

Yeah it was review bombed on IMDB as well:

"Before it even premiered, Ironheart was review bombed, as the show had a 32 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, according to Collider. The site has now seemingly fixed the issue, as it currently holds a 70 percent audience score.

However, over on IMDB, the show was targeted just hours after it was released, as it now has a 4.7/10 score.

This is far from the first time that this has happened, as internet trolls with nothing better to do with their time often target shows, typically those that are part of larger franchises, that star people of color; 2024’s Star Wars: The Acolyte and 2022’s Ms. Marvel had to deal with similar bigotry."

Why are you asswipes so afraid of women of color?

[Syne]

So you claim "2016's Ghostbusters, Captain Marvel, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, ... The Acolyte... The Little Mermaid and Snow White," Ms Marvel, etc. are really all great movies/shows?

Even though you only add IMDB to your list of "review bombed" out of the many reviews I've cited?

[Magical Realist]

So why are you asswipes so afraid of women of color? Ever heard of just not watching a movie or TV series that isn't to your taste? I haven't been to an MCU movie in years. But I'm not going on some stupid tirade about how terrible they are either. I just got tired of superhero movies. Doesn't mean they're horrible movies.
