    Trolls were involved in TLJ RT ratings. That is true.

    https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/...tanked-the-last-jedi-on-rotten-tomatoes-vgtrn

    FTR: I have zero doubt that Disney (and others) have figured out ways to game the system so that their movies don't get blasted before they're even released. So I'm not trying to be a white knight for them here. But, even with that said, there were trolls on RT and regardless of RT's reasoning for making this change, it will result in fewer trolling. So, that is a good thing.

    Also FTR: as stated earlier in this thread, I'm not even really looking forward to Captain Marvel and think there's a decent chance it's a CGI overload. Again, I'm just here stating that a site ridding itself of trolls is a good thing.

    dunno why they didn't have any of this important discussions when arguably the most important, game-changing, female superhero came out in 2005: elektra. the world's body was not ready.

    Getting Brie Larson into a skin tight suit for 90 minutes of screen time?

    Damn you Deep State!

    I guess people don't remember all the people that were cheering for Black Panther to fail last year?

    Crowing over a failure here as a "victory" would be like crowing that James Harden sucks because his scoring streak was "only" 32 games long.

    Weeding out trolls is good. Review bombing can wait until release.

    I'm getting Green Lantern vibes from this movie.

    It appears to have gotten out the gate with 90%. That's surprising to me given what I've seen in the trailers, but good for Disney. Thought this was a bomb waiting to explode. But trust in the Disney ears, and now perhaps they can go full captain marvel in the avengers release.

    If Disney knows their fans, they will have Korg be the one to kill Thanos

    Damn it, I love Korg so much. I was so pissed when... wait, do I have to spoiler stuff from Infinity War?... just to be safe:

    I was so pissed when Infinity War started, picking up minutes after the end of Ragnarok, and there was no Korg or Valkyrie anywhere on that ship. I am hoping End Game remedies this.

    I read a few of those reviews. They are pretty flaccid.

    Yeah, it's sort of like, "Good, not great" as a general consensus. I'll still see it, though, as a lead-in for "Revengers"....er, Avengers Endgame.

    my sense from reading those is they are too scared to say it sucks, but its not like i know these reviewers personally so who knows.
