I love this.

It's automatically review bombing when the reviews are terrible, but the clearly bought and paid for access media reviews that came out at first are totally 100% legit.

#TheRingsOfPower is a CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE! The visionary team behind it has produced an epic that dives into its roots and delivers a story like no other. Its production is beyond comparison, masterfully orchestrating a mythology that fans have been waiting for. Bravo!

Watched the first 2 episodes of #TheRingsOfPower and it's a powerhouse of storytelling that reaffirms why I love LOTR and the kind of world building that empowers and inspires. Also, badass women. Can't forget about them!

I'm in a rush and can't pull up more right now, but there were TONS of these right before the release, each more nauseating than the last. Maybe someone else can add to the list of totally legit reviews...

You mean a mediocre movie that was review bombed by angry misogynistic nerds? User reviews are themselves incredibly unreliable metrics, especially when the incel crowd gets up in their feels about something.

We’re two episodes in, maybe this will be mediocre or maybe not, but two episodes isn’t going to tell that, though even the full time basement dwelling troll gave it a 7.4 so far.

Find where I ever said that? Or you just building stupid straw men?

Special access early screening reviews are notoriously unreliable indicators of a films quality or future success because studios intentionally cherry pick fans and bloggers that are likely to be most favorable to their project and also get caught up in the surrounding event. About the only time they are truly indicative is when they are luke warm or worse, cause if a projects biggest fans aren’t even on board, it’s probably really trash

That doesn’t somehow make user reviews, especially user reviews that have drawn ire of the incel crowd, any more reliable.

There are reviews from today, yesterday, the day before that, and the day before that, etc.


The articles I posted were from 4 days ago and were about a 72 hour halt of reviews. You said: yesterday (1), the day before that (2), and the day before that (3). So actually, you specifically refuted what has been reported about Amazon halting reviews. If reviews were posted in the time you stated, then that directly contradicts what Amazon said would be happening.

I'm not sure you can actually stand by this comment given what you specifically have said in this thread:

Absolutely no one in this thread ever said they didn't halt reviews.

Normal People: yeah I don’t really care that much if they cast some black actors in this fantasy show, as long as they are good in the roles

CP3: NO, whites only!!!

Normal People: ………

Normal people = Non Fans

Literally where the term "normies" comes from.

Here's the "black face of white Tolkien supremacy" explaining why the show sucks and I'm sure why there ought not be black elves and dwarves.. Maybe you can call him an Uncle Tom...

At this point you've spent more time bitching about a show you say you will never watch than it would take to watch the entire damn season.

Get a fricking life.

1.8 million households actually watched the show. It's a financial disaster for them. They're doing anything they can to stop the Titanic from the incoming iceberg.




As a comparison, how many households watched episodes 1 & 2 of House of The Dragon?


I looked it up. HOTD killed 'em - 4.6M vs. 1.8M household views.

When you hear garbage like this and see the showrunners attacking the passionate fans it means they know they squeezed out a turd of a show. They make it about some social issue instead of admitting they fricked up and made a terrible product.

Sounds like something a racist groomer would say.
