There are no user scores up yet, and only approved reviewers get posted, so how can that be a review bombing? The story is IMDb, not RT, was review bombed with hundreds of 1 star reviews by users. IMDb has since removed those negative user reviews so now there are only 2 user reviews listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMDB dealt with that problem years ago - because unlike Rotten Tomatoes, they sell IMDB Pro as a paid service. So reviewers are required to first show proof they actually watched the film - to ensure fidelity. theCapraAegagrus and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my point still stands. Unlike Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB did put an automated system in place to detect mass review bombing / fake reviews and mitigate them via removal (as it did in this case). And, psychotic Captain Marvel fan that you are, you know this. Source: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/7/18254548/film-review-sites-captain-marvel-bombing-changes-rotten-tomatoes-letterboxd Relevant quote: "Nobody has found a perfect solution to review-bombing campaigns. Some platforms have tried to create technical systems for defusing them. IMDb uses a secret weighting formula to calculate its star ratings, so in what it calls “rare instances” of mass inauthentic reviews, it “takes into consideration numerous techniques to artificially inflate/deflate a title’s rating, and attempts to neutralize their impact.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, it's amusing how I'm labeled a "fanatic" or now "psychotic" Captain Marvel fan just because I defend the movie with reasoned arguments unless someone comes at me with obviously fanatical hater comments about the movie or the actress. Fire with fire I've always said. I will say I may be in the top ten of global Captain Marvel fans. I'm not sure many people can match the Carol Danvers collection I have as far as rarity value and importance goes. You should see my shirt collection.

If it was just that: an excited fan that loves Marvel and its characters. But when someone assumes they have to convey fealty by detracting from competing studios, characters and actors so as to convey their love of Marvel, Marvel Studios and the MCU franchise, that is not a healthy mindset. And he has admitted to it on here, but excused it as being a hardcore Marvel fan.

ABC is actually rebooting the Wonder Years with a black family in the 60’s. But you want to know what offends me? These two walking around sacred ground with those shirts.

The thing is, if we want movies theaters to survive long term, we need people to support good movies period. Screw which universe, or franchise, just give me good films. We also can not blanket like something because of branding, and be afraid to call out when our favorites make mistakes. Without that, these films risk becoming less attractive to wider audiences. The success of the MCU was based on mass appeal, not dividing and concuring. jimjum12 and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kid young enough to know how that could be offensive could possibly be offended by that, so I can't decide what I like more--the clever word play, or the fact that they're offending people too dumb to know that they have no reason whatsoever to be offended.
