Funny how genuinely good content doesn't get "review bombed".
I'm not saying review bombing doesn't happen, just that it tends to happen with stuff that isn't really good or just flat out terrible. Why isn't HOTD getting review bombed like this? They race swapped an entire Westeros family. But it's actually GOOD. |

Oh, I can find many examples where that wasn't the case. Watchmen, for example, was a very good show review bombed by a bunch of idiots for allegedly not respecting Rorschach enough or something.
I still maintain that this show isn't good (so far), but that has nothing to do with the number of black elves or hobbits. It's just boring as hell so far and you don't care about anything that's going on. |

It has an 8.2 on IMDB. This show is getting horrible reviews on both IMDB and RT. That doesn't happen with great content. Blaming "review bombing" on that is 100% a cop out. |

didn't I say earlier in the thread that journalists would give it a 10/10 and user reviews would be much lower? It happens every time with this sort of stuff. Then some of the sites remove the negative reviews.

Again, I will go back to the example of HOTD.
Showrunners literally said GOT was too white, and made an entire Westeros family that is critical to this storyline black. And to be honest, in this context, there's plot reasons why that probably wasn't the best choice given how these two families are supposed to look alike. But the show is great. The main character from that family Corlyn has been great. And somehow, it still has an 85% user rating on RT and an 8.8 on IMDB. Where are the angry incels? It's almost like they won't bitch if you actually give them something they want. If it's actually good, you don't have to worry about review bombing, |

You didn't hear many people complaining about The Batman having a black Catwoman and Jim Gordon.
You know why? Those castings were fantastic and absolutely perfect. You know what the Director and Producer didn't do? Tell everybody that they casted those two because of "diversity". They casted them because they were the best for the role. It had absolutely nothing to do with race. They didn't make it about that, so it never was about that. Stop shoving propaganda and modern politics down our throat and just give us great content, especially with these beloved franchises. If it's good, you can cast whoever the **** you want with likely very little bitching. There might be a few complainers, there always will be, but you certainly won't have to hide behind "review bombing". |

i thought the 2nd episode was better, i hope it gets rolling though because it has been pretty boring so far. The black elf and the woman are the best characters so far.
