Used to be a fan of them, mainly MCU, however think they should have scaled it back after Endgame. It was a pretty solid 10 year run and now it feels worn down and very saturated. You told a great story, with a great villain and interwoven characters. Now you keep throwing chapters back into the mix that aren’t as well done and feel disconnected.

I do enjoy the one off movies/events that have happened like Werewolf By Night and DC’s The Batman. I feel the whole interwoven universe actually ends up hurting these movies because everything has to be connected and consumed in order to understand the next thing.

Also, the fanbases became a hive mind, and egotistical. Any criticism, even when it’s due, is met with pitchforks and lashing out. That alone is a reason for people to steer away from them.

I’ve just lost interest and grown tired of MCU specifically after Avengers: Endgame. I only saw Spider-Man: No Way Home because I knew Tobey Maguire was going to be in it as well as Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe. Other than that it’s going to be a good long while until I am interested in watching them again. However I desperately would love to see DC make good movies. The Batman was pretty good, but as I said I would like to see them make some that are actually well good….but I’m picky that’s just me

I’m neutral when it comes to superhero films, generally not my cup of tea but I don’t judge. But I think they’ll probably go the route of westerns and to a lesser extent, mafia movies, where future generations roll their eyes and acknowledge that there were some all time great movies made in the genre but also wonder how their grandparents didn’t get bored after decade after decade of so many of them being made.

OP: "Social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok etc., allow users to share their views on films directly with each other without relying on intermediaries such as critics or websites."

Now it's clear what you want: pure PR and crazy people interacting with each other. And suddenly these "social media platforms" are no websites or what does "without relying on intermediaries such as (...) websites" mean??

the most valuable thing about Rottentomatoes is the difference in critic and user score. It tells you everything you need to know about what kind of movie it is and what you can expect from it. With the notable exception of big franchises like Marvel or Star wars where critics are afraid to speak their mind for obvious reasons.

Is this a retorical question? If not then, I can make decisions for myself and the decision I made for myself is I don't want to watch every single movie I find remotely interesting, there's way too many movies to do that. Only watching the ones I find remotely interesting that are high rated narrows down my options. People say I shouldn't listen to reviews but those same people (particularly my friends) have recommended movies to me, listening to an audience score is the same as listening to a friend's recommendation to me because it's not like my friend necessarily has the same interests when it comes to movies as I do but a thousand+ people has more of a chance of having similar interests

I just want to mention that I stopped using rotten tomatoes because IMDB and letterbox allow me to get a better understanding if a movie is "good" or not

Yeah i try not to go to user history first, but once I saw it that sealed it for me.

In any case, i was already pretty sure. most people have characteristic mannerisms in their writing, even if they're being very dry and formal there will be something, and chatgpt has none. it's statistically driven to the most generic possible response. Becomes pretty easy to spot once you get used to it.

I'm starting to get used to the dry yet accessible writing style of chatgpt as well as its paragraph length and conclusion paragraphs. on top of that, compare the original post to the writing style of the op's other comments, and I think you might very well be right.

also a lot of the op's recent activity is on chatgpt and bing subs.

What do you mean "end" like take down the site completely or encourage others to stop using it and use a different method to determine if they should watch a movie instead?

I use IMDB, if I was in your position (meaning I agreed with you and didn't think people should use rotten tomatoes) would you say I should encourage people to use IMDB instead?

We can't really "end" rotten tomatoes, only encourage people to use it less but even if we do that people are still going to use it if they think it's helpful
