Edit - To give some personal context, I was thinking about the thread the other day where Snyder fans claimed that good movies are 4 hours long and then I saw this picture. Throw in the crap like baby yoda knockoffs and expanded universes and it's all so bad.
Audience ratings are skewed because they only represent the people that actually care enough to rate that movie. This creates a major disparity in certain ranges for a few reasons but the main one is in low critic ratings vs high audience ratings. When a movie gets very low critic ratings everyone that actually has any good judgement doesn't watch the movie at all because it's not worth wasting their time on, this leaves the only people to rate it as the people with shit judgement.
People who choose to go watch a movie usually self-select for liking the movie. Nobody goes to watch a movie they think they will hate. You see this in anime ratings a lot too, people wonder why everything they watch they rate 7-10 and think that's because people are bad at rating things but it's not. It's because people pre-select the content they watch and nobody wants to watch something that they think they'll rate below a 7.
A movie or show has to do an exceptionally bad (or good) job of mis-marketing itself to lead the wrong audience into watching it that ends up rating it below a 7. If an audience is properly informed about a movie or show before watching it then they will never be an audience of people that will dislike it.
If on the otherhand every member of an audience threw a dart at a dartboard to select anything they watch, you would then end up with a much more even distribution of scores for the things they watch.
This is it. It's not audience scores. It's permanently online zealot dork scores.
Yeah in the cases of the shit that got voted down purely based on some anti-sjw controversy. The rest is like, just the fact that nobody went to see Aladdin if they thought they wouldn't like it, the only people that went already decided they'd like it beforehand.
That affect how new movies get made. Rise of Skywalker course corrected just for them.
Rise of Skywalker was never going to be good considering it was meant to wrap up a trilogy that they were doing on the fly, with different directors and no communication between films. Also, JJ Abrams did my boy Rian dirty.
True. It was a mess from the get go, but it felt clear to me they made concessions to a racist fanbase when they benched Rose.
:sadness:
😂 I'm sorry! It's fine if you like junk food. I like junk food sometimes too but I'm not about to tell anyone that it's gourmet food.
We like our slop!
It's not shit judgement if you're not gonna take critics' word for it.
