'Captain Marvel' Review Bombers Have Dropped Rotten Tomatoes Audience Rating To Lowest Among MCU Movies (comicbook.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: The fake Rotten Tomatoes review onslaught continues for Captain Marvel, giving the film the lowest-rating of all Marvel Cinematic Universe movies on the site nearly two weeks ahead of its release. As of this writing, Captain Marvel now has a 28% Audience Rating, a whopping 18 points below the next lowest MCU flick -- 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Starting earlier this week, a certain section of the internet -- for whatever reason -- decided to start filing fake negative reviews in an attempt to purposefully lower the film's Audience Rating.
These are NOT reviews! This is the Audience "WANT TO SEE" rating, which is completely different. People NOT wanting to see a film, is NOT review bombing. STOP LYING!
It's not reviews, it's audience interest. It's literally asking "Are you interested in this movie?" and most people said no. It's not a review of the movie. This is fake news.
The don't. Or it is insignificant once enough legit people vote...
Don't listen to Hollywood shills; they still maintain TLJ's low audience score is due to Russian trolls and Ghost Busters 2016 due to KKK or something...
I'll point out that no one is posting review on this movie yet, they're merely posting weather or not they want to see the movie.
And that reality really does show exactly what's wrong with sites like Comicbook.com. They're more interested in pushing a narrative than anything else.
Strong women scare the hell out of insecure little boys.
No. They're not bombing reviews.
Because the movie isn't out yet. So RT isn't accepting reviews for the film's Tomatometer score yet.
What is being affected is the "Want to see" score (currently at 29% and falling).
This is where the person marks whether or not they are interested in seeing the film.
Chas - The one, the only.
THANK GOD!!!
This should not be modded down, it is actually the truth. I don't think I can blame people for not being interested in Captain Marvel either... it's not a superhero name most people are familiar with.
The original Captain Marvel was a white man
You don't get to call others hypersentitive when others are being triggered about Danvers picking up the Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel mantle fucking decades ago.
42,343 user ratings for Captain marvel vs 139 for Wonder Park, 114 for Triple Frontier, 58 for The Kid, or 43 for I'm Not Here. Seems like a coordinated effort by Culture Warriors fighting the good fight against the first.
Carol Danvers has more recently taken the title Captain Marvel but her character under the title of Ms Marvel has been part of the Marvel universe for years.
Seriously...like the late 70s. People who think this is some sort of gender swap in the name of equality are showing just how comic book clueless they actually are.
Please tell me how Ms Marvel is shitting on the beloved character you grew up with. Since...well...Ms Marvel was introduced in 1977.
No, no, really...tell us how that's affected you.
Captain Marvel was caught in a explosion in 1969. In 1977 it was revealed that Carol Danvers inherited his powers to become Ms Marvel. So folks have had since 1977 to deal with this. It's not like Marvel suddenly looked at the Trump administration and MAGA folks and said, "Let's take away their cherished male superhero!"
True, Anonymous Coward.
I'm GenX - Age 52 in less than a month. In the comics I read as a kid, Captain Marvel was always a DC Property - That's how I know the name.
Billy Batson says "SHAZAM!" and turns into Captain Marvel:

I'm still keen to see the Marvel movie, though. It looks fun.
If anyone has been paying attention to what's been happening in the world of weaponized trolling, this should surprise no one. Paid foreign actors who are looking to sew discord (in largely western society) are taking up both sides of many issues (social and political) they think can be blown up into a polarizing argument. They spam away on social media, youtube, twitter etc. Along they way they hope to drag as many folks as possible into the never ending argument quagmire. By dividing a population and causing internal turmoil, they create space for their political overlords to operate with less outside scrutiny.
Don't play their games. Next time you think you should argue with some idiot on the internet save your energy for things that actually matter.
Marvel's Captain Marvel, on the other hand? A relative unknown. I had been peripherally aware that Marvel had someone by that name in their hero pantheon, but until recently I thought he was male.
Hand in your Nerd card. Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel (well Ms. Marvel), when she got zapped by the Kree Psyche Magnetron in 1977. The Kree "Captain Mar-Vell"... well he died, Carol then adopted his name to honor his memory.
Monica Rambeau (currently Spectrum) also used the name when Carol got depowered by Rogue just before she joined the X-Men.
All of that happened decades ago.
Sharon Ventura (altered human who got her powers during the Things UCWF storyline) and Kamala Khan (Inhuman ancestry, Inhumans are a Human derived species who are Kree experiments) have also used the name Ms. Marvel
Captain Marvel was created by Fawcett Comics over a year and a half after Superman was created by DC Comics. The character did so well that he was outselling Superman in the 40's.
DC Comics filed suit against Fawcett, claiming that Captain Marvel was a rip-off of Superman. DC prevailed in court in 1953, and Fawcett was forced to retire Captain Marvel permanently.
In the late 60's, Marvel Comics acquired the rights to the name "Captain Marvel," and created a superhero that was completely different from both the original Captain Marvel and Superman. Thus, they couldn't be sued by DC.
In 1972, as comic books were surging in popularity, DC was looking for new properties to publish and licensed the Captain Marvel characters from Fawcett. But when they tried to publish the comic book as "The Original Captain Marvel," Marvel Comics sent DC a cease-and-desist letter. Thus DC had to retitle the comic book, "Shazam!"
In order to retain their trademark, Marvel must publish a Captain Marvel title at least once every two years.
It has to be bombers!
This is something we can check. Let's see. Open up any upcoming movie and let's see how many people gave an audience intention rating. Let's keep it interesting and limit it to major blockbusters:
Frozen 2: 1161 ratings
Wonder Woman 1984: 423 ratings
Lion King: 747 ratings
Spiderman Far from Home: 941 ratings
John Wick 3: 680 ratings
I think I'm missing something really big. .... It was cartoon based too.. Oh that's right:
Avengers Endgame: 10236 ratings. Holy shit that is one of the highest and most interested movies with the biggest hype ever, and it's completely positive!!!!
I'm sure no one is more interested in any other movie than the ones listed.
Captain Marvel: 44735 ratings.
Now I challenge you to find forty-four thousand seven hundred and thirty five people who know about the movie and further more give enough of a fuck to jump online to let someone else known they don't want to see it.
My friend Occam's Razor would like to introduce you to the Russian troll farm. Yours to be had for a only a few rubels.
Its not that.
The point is MOST OF US want nothing to do with this trash marvel character which is obviously a social justice warrior attention grab.
Just look how this stupid Brie bitch talks.
She is wrapped up in feminist bullshit.
No, individually none of us matter, if you are going to take that view, technically not much does matter.
This way of living and everyone you know will die. Oh well. Sitting around telling people their opinion doesn't matter? makes you look like a goddamn moron.
