Oh I know. You were mocking someone with 42 years of criminal analysis as not being as credible on if Joker got the mental instability theme right I count on it.

Meanwhile, Rotten Tomatoes actually posts some of the Audience Score contributor comments from 'verified audience' contributors. For all the 5 star comments, there are an excessive amount of 1-3 star comments that would drastically throw off the average Audience Score rating.

RT Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker audience comments

And those are verified ticket holders. It goes on and on about how horrible the movie was. You know - 86% positive.

Ok, but if you don't show just the bad user reviews on a page and actually show a random complete RT page ROS audience scores, it generally reads like this one:

The percentage of this page is about 75%. Then if you keep scrolling through the audience score pages, the high scores definitely outweigh the 1 and 2 star user reviews. Without looking at every audience score myself, an 86% isn't out of the question. Now, deliberate manipulation of this score isn't out of the question either. I personally thought ROS was fine. At least it finished the story that JJ Abrams had set up in Force Awakens. That's what I wanted to see, not the deconstructionist out-of-left field story we got in Last Jedi.

You missed the point where he noted it definitely had 86% positive because people enjoyed it. Not realizing their comments have been posted on RT.

And I had noted in that same quote you posted for all the 5 star comments - did you miss that?

You didn't even bother to read what I provided you. Did you?

Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker “a Great Educational Tool”

DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY - Adrian Raine

He's actually a published author and article contributor over those 42 years.

How close-minded could someone be when the person is an actual recognized expert in his field. Seriously!

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you are the "expert" criminologist. I didn't mean to disrespect you...

Seriously, though, nobody worth their salt is using Joker as an educational tool in criminology.

I was one of the few people semi excited about this movie but over time I have been slowly losing interest in regards to seeing it. The two main reasons I lost interest were because at first I heard rumors that may be an homages piece to Kirby (which it’s not from what I hear now) and second it seemed to have been sort of politicized which I hope it isn’t. I don’t want to get a lecture like at the end of FATWS. 

I'd say - go see it.
You can't let critics, newsprint or digital, influence or ruin your desire to see a film you're curious about.

It can be difficult when there is a lot of info grinding against your thoughts and feelings about the show you want to experience.

If it sucks, well then - you can at least decide that for yourself.
But enjoy it or dislike it on your own accord! 

I'm going to watch this one. Not sure when, but I'll check it out.

Don't be silly. If I am noting a criminologist expert made such statements, how am I claiming expertise?

You were the one winging it to dismiss his credibility. Based on what - your opinions and counseling sessions? Come on now. Be better than that.

I think that, for a lot of people, it will be a matter of accounting. Do they have Disney+? If they're not really invested in The Eternals name (such as myself), then waiting to see it for 'free' seems like the best course of action.

I was making a joke that you are the criminologist that you've quoted.

Believe it or not, I have a lot of people to refer to regarding criminology and have learned a lot from them throughout the years. Citing Joker is just... A joke...

Agree. We can't let a website named after a putrefying vegetable (or fruit) have dominion over our lives.

How times have changed. But I do agree. RT is so 'back then'. Spoiled Oranges is where it is at!

The criminologist we're discussing is also British. Ha! The matters of belief that he's spewed about criminality being biological are so:

Your essays on RT score manipulation is more compelling than the Englishman's ramblings of an incoherent old man.

Oh, absolutely.

Even as a big comic fan, the Eternals have just never been on my list of 'must-read' stuff.
I'm curious about the movie & I like the idea of the Celestials, but this show won't be first-day viewing for me.

Quote

Marvel’s Eternals will not hit cinema screens in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Qatar, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

 

The all-star superhero film, which was due for release across the Gulf region on Nov. 11, is understood to have been met with a series of edit requests by the local censors, edits that THR has heard Disney were not willing to make.

They must have assumed of being China.

Disney must be taking a stand on the gay relationship in Eternals. Good for them.

Comic book productions as a whole have been doing it for some time.

Did you ever get the chance to see CW Seed's Freedom Fighters: The Ray? Good short series.

I did not mind Dark World. I went into it late in the run with lowered expectations and thought it was your typical MCU movie. 

It was my favorite of the Thor movies... but I grew up on Lee/Kirby Thor, so the elves, trolls, and goblins resonated with me. GOD BLESS...

I'm greatly looking forward to this film, yet even I'm now considering just waiting for it to show up on Disney Plus due to the reviews.

But we don't yet know when it release there, do we?  Maybe it's about two months after release like Shang-Chi was, or maybe it isn't--Disney hasn't said as far as I know.  I believe they did announce the Shang-Chi Disney Plus release date prior to that film hitting theaters, but I haven't been able to find that they did that for Eternals.  So maybe it his by Christmas, or maybe in January--or maybe long after that as films traditionally have.
