They removed the bots votes from the vote tally you know? They changed the system to benefit Captain Marvel because it's want to see poll was doing poorly with the legitimate votes. I don't really fancy dealing with the 2nd round of TLJ apologists, I remember people crying bots then too..

Yeah because it was true lmao. Other movies on RT would accidentally get 1 star TLJ reviews. Not to mention BP's low audience score in comparison to it's legs.

The latest Captain Marvel review bombing was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. They're not just pandering to Disney FFS. They're responding to a growing level of frustration with this kind of behaviour.

It was a poll for the audience. The audience said they don't want to see it because the main actress said it's not for them. Not really seeing the issue here?

TLJ was divisive no one's saying it's not, but to pretend like it wasn't botted on RT is just stupid.

I never said there are not bots. There have been bots this time with the want to see thing. I'm saying that bots don't automatically negate all the other reviews/ratings, as shown with TLJ.

RT got rid of Want To See ((Not audience ratings)) because of bots. It's that simple, there's no conspiracy to help Disney no one even really gives much of a damn about it.

It really doesn't take genius to make the connection here but yet you think it's a certain thing that RT wasn't influenced by Disney?

 

This is what I think. You don't want it to be true and there's no concrete evidence (insider leaks) so you'll just call it a conspiracy.

You would call that a conspiracy ? Say if Disney as a big ads buyer of RT would have asked them to take measure to help sales their movie better without touching at all on their integrity and mission of aggregating critic movie reviews ?

 

Could just be them not liking to see the press around the situation fearing it could hurt they ability to sales ads to studio in generals and not one in particular also.

Either way, it's not Disney who owns it. If anything Comcast would want to hurt Disney, they lost ownership of Fox to Disney.

"conspricacy theory"

Calling something that is more than likely happening a conspiracy theory is very odd.

 

Rotten Tomatoes (biggest critic site) just made changes to their site for Captain Marvel, how more in your face do you bloody want it?

Grouping "critics being influenced by mega corps" with "9/11 inside job", "lizard men" is down right stupid.

That's putting words in my mouth, but competition doesn't help competition and CEOs switch from company to company all the time. Michael Eisner went from Paramount to Disney, and Sony's current head worked at Fox. It doesn't mean there's some 'conspiracy' here when it's clear you're all still upset over Alita.
