The problem isn't the critics, the problem is that the critics are far more entertaining to watch than the films.

They thought buying rotten tomatoes would fix all their problems

Hollywood: We’re not making this movie for you!! Also Hollywood: Why didn’t you watch the movie, bigot?!

Is all started happening with the all girl Ghostbusters. Fans didn't want it and then Hollywood blamed the fans. Now they do it with every movie they can to generate buzz.

Banning critics won't magically make their absolute garbage tier writing, cgi, everything better. Hollywood is a relic.

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."

Banning critics is the equivalent of plugging your ears with your fingers and shouting "la la la" to ignore someone calling out your shit

Whats funny is that some actors/directors for disney have been in interviews and accidentally said "M-She0U" and then immediately corrected themselves to MCU proves that youtubers are in living rent free.

It's like when Amy Schumer complained that the Netflix rating system was the reason people didn't want to watch her specials, then they removed the rating system and people still didn't watch her specials lol

Hollywood : "We hate it when people say the truth"

A lot of the screenwriters making these adaptations or new series are routinely cited as either not having seen the source material or outright hating it.

Yeah underwold was like "woah... give me more". And how that thing starts? Gal jumps of the roof, lands like it's nothing then walks like she owns the place. Also goth vampire chick, there is nothing a straight man can do against this magic.

I love how everytime a movie or anything for that matter gets a ton of negative review on release, it's called "Review bombing" and not "Y'all just made a fucking shitty ass product, deal with the consequences"

What's changed with Hollywood is that these people no longer believe they are entertainers. These people believe they are social engineers

I think it's worth noting that the early MCU was successful not because it catered to nostalgia, it didn't have much to work with in that department, rather it focused on making compelling stories. Iron Man was a popular comic character that wasn't very popular outside of comics. If they wanted just nostalgia they would've made Hulk the flagship character because he was well known from his popular TV show.

After Endgame, Marvel should've collapsed their roster down to five or six heroes again, and started building a cinematic universe from the start for each. Instead they just kept inflating the balloon until it popped. Should've let some air out, man. Imagine if they'd wrapped it up and just kept: 1. Spider-Man in New York, battling Kingpin. 2. Doctor Strange travelling the Multiverse, battling Kang. 3. Rocket having space adventures, doing the weird and wacky shit. 4. Sam & Bucky doing spy stuff. Then you give each of these concepts the whole treatment all over again, starting from the beginning. With Spider-Man you introduce all the street-level heroes and villains and maybe reconstruct the Defenders against a pyramid of villains with Kingpin at the top. Doctor Strange gives you the opportunity to do What If...? But live-action - introduce Captain Carter, Skrull Coulson, King Killmonger, etc. Then with Rocket, you rebuild the Guardians with new characters just like they did at the end of GOTG 3, and finally just do Secret Invasion with Sam, Bucky, and Fury. Basically take the air from the balloon that's about to burst and split it between four other balloons.

Henry Cavil said once that “as fans we are entitled to our opinions and be passionate about them” it’s not being toxic.. toxic is a word incorrectly used nowadays to describe when someone does not follow suit

This is the reason you can't leave a Netflix review anymore.

Hearing Underworld referenced brought back a wave of nostalgia

My plastic lightsaber was my prized possession for awhile, so much fun with that thing. And yeah, no girls ever playing with them.

Will never forget the showrunners of Rings of Power calling Tolkien fans “patently evil” for calling out the BS in their fanfic

When a studio has the audacity to call the audience "ungrageful" for not seeing/appreciating whatever flavor-of-the-week they're doling out, it's indicative of their entire mindset. They do not consider us CUSTOMERS that they must impress, they consider us peasantry who are "withholding" the money that is "due" to them.

Yes bro the first avengers movie was so amazing, Thor dr. Strange and captain America were my favorite individuals

In regards to 'who asked' it is worth noting that no one knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy were before the movie.

Imagine kicking someone off of your sports team, but expecting them to watch your games. That's Marvels logic with the male audience.

Here's what's wrong with The Marvels 1. Captain Marvel sucks. 2. Ms Marvel was made for a niche audience. 3. Monica Rambeau was in Wandaverse for about 5 minutes. 4. the bad guy (girl) was horrible. 5. They stole the plot from Spaceballs.

I think what these studios are missing is. Channels like nerdrotic and Critical drinker were not always negative channels. During phases 1-3 most of the reviews were positive. The negativity is a reflection of how the audience feels. Getting rid of the critics won’t suddenly change peoples minds.

15:47 when you make armor from a old chimney covers/vents lol

The Anne Hathaway part is a miss quote by the news agency. She never used the phrase "toxic online hatred", she said her identity had become toxic to Hollywood producers as they were afraid that her presence in a movie would cause harm due to how much anti Hathaway sentiment there was on the internet at the time, which no one can really explain the cause of. Christopher Nolan saved her career by giving her a part in Interstellar for which she is eternally grateful.

"Hollywood wants suppress freedom of speech"😂

16:47 That armor looks like level 1 armor in a RPG... looks like it made of recycled soda cans. Even movies like Excalibur (1981) had amazing armors with just a small fraction of the budget they had.

my 9 year old nephew once said to me that " marvel isnt marvel anymore its garvel, they are adding so many girl heroes that are not relatable and cool ". even a 9yr old can see through this BS.

When my daughter was young, she entered paintings and drawings in an art show with intent to sell. Nothing sold. She was distraught and almost gave up art. I sat her down and told her: If you do art for yourself, do whatever you want. But if you do art with intent to sell, you have to do what 'they' want. The years that followed, she did more art that catered to the public and practically sold out every show. The first rule in marketing is KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. All Hollywood cares about now is having whites and straights as a minority in their movies. Too bad that alienates around 70% of the population that buys movie tickets. Well played.

It's literally The Simpsons; "Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are out of touch!" "Do we make bad movies/games/content? No! It's the fans who are toxic!"

The only time i’ve ever heard the name “Madame Web” was from an old Spiderman cartoon, she was an old woman that would drag Peter into her little world, spit some of that cryptic/sage advice and leave.

Hollywood be like "We have a story, now which famous IP do I wanna use to tell it"

My homie and his mom used to watch LotR and the Hobbits movies together because she used to read him the books before bed, so they’d watch the movies together every year on Tolkien day. She passed in 2020. He said, serious as shit, “I’m kind of glad they came out with this show after she died. This show was so bad it would’ve crushed her.” That’s how bad it was.

The biggest problem with mainstream media anymore is the lack of creativity. They are just pulling from other pop culture sources and trying to ride the names. The halo show is a prime example. The director came out and said he never played or read halo and didn't care what people thought cause he was making his own story. These name grabs are just slapping actual fans in the face

the armor the people are wearing at 15:40 looks like they bought a lvl boost in Wow lmao

yo can we put links to the og vid?

It's like they say, "the customer is always right". That doesn't mean the customer is actually right, but if you aren't working in service of what the customer wants, then the customer is going to leave.

How about Hollywood focuses on writing good stuff. I love that instead of fixing their product they want to ban the people who point out their bad product.

Oh wow, its almost like having critics in your pocket like an echo chamber doesnt help improve anything, wild

You know how they always tell you in art, in relationships, in adopting a cat etc just do your thing and who likes it will like it... trying to rebuild an already established franchise is like forcing someone to like you by including their favourite food in your top 10 list.

If a movie is good, it will be watched. If its bad it will be ignored. If its an insult to its fandom, it will be hated. Take a guess as to what type of movies marvel has been making recently.

It's funny how when the movies before Endgame were successful, they didn't say it was because of the fans or the critics. But when they started to fail. That's when they shift the blame on us.

part of why prey got flack was the director saying this was the first instance of the predators EVER being on earth ignoring the lore of the old days. i tried watching prey but fell asleep. alot of the modern hollywood movies and shows has me watching chinese korean and japanese movies and shows, upside found a bunch of cool shows i want to buy the box set of once made, can post if some want later.

As someone who got some DVDs of the old 90s Spider-man cartoon, madam web was awesome. While I haven't seen the movie , it looks like they tried to make a spiderwoman movie and call it Madam Web. The og was like if you crossed aunt may with the watcher. She served a sorta yoda role , it was implied she had great power and all the awnsers but it wasn't here place to save the day. She was a mentor not the hero.

Imagine blaming your failures on external factors versus taking responsibility for you own actions 🤡

"Who were the Marvels?" That says so much, a $250+ million dollar movie about characters no one cares about is madness

They spend 5 years plus making things with THEIR OWN FOCUS GROUPS going "this some trash redo it" yet they blame critics? Their own in house is why something had 4 reshoots. It's their own fault their movie has weird cuts because so much footage is on the floor that was force to be removed. It's THEIR scripts that are scorned by their own first before we even get to see it. This show Hollywood really lost the plot...

Who would have thought retiring almost every hero that makes marvel, marvel, would end badly

Step one : make terrible movie Step two : get mad people say movie terrible.

"Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product"

Whatever the listed budget of a film is, you have to double the amount, due to the promotional budget usually being the same as the production budget, to determine the total cost of the film. Madame Web lost $270 million dollars, effectively.

They run around, saying that "tHe MoViE iSn'T fOr MeN!!" and then blame us for not watching it. Make it make sense.

Rings of Power was Blatantly Anti-Male. - Every woman was the smartest Warrior commanding all the power while Every Male was inferior in every way.

Nobody knew about the Guardians of the Galaxy before the movies. The group was on the back side of the B Tape from Marvel HQs. It took one good story and one good director to make a movie hit about them. Doesn't matter if the people don't know the characters. Just give them a good movie and they'll get interested.

I literally fell asleep during the 2nd Hobbit. No fucking kidding. I was like 22 at the time and literally fell asleep at the CINEMA

I was trying to think of what Madama Web was till I had seen the pictures then remember oh that movie that was a super hero movie that was like a kids show on T.V from way back lmao

Hollywood is upset that instead of going to the theater and finding out you hated it you are going to KZfaq and realizing A LOT of new movies are just really bad.

Another thing that ruined Hollywood, far more than any YT critic, is social media. Actors, directors and the like no longer stay in their lane as entertainers, there's no mystique left around them, many would be better off keeping their real selves and idiotic personal thoughts to themselves.

Phase 4 - 6 should have been centered around The X-Men and the F4 fighting Dr Doom and Magneto as their main villains with Galactus on the horizon like Thanos was in phase 1 - 3. The whole multiverse thing was dumb to focus so hard on. It could have been so good.

Oh the sixth century vampire that’s married to William Shakespeare lol 4:04

Jeremy Jahns is probably the fairest online critic I've seen during my entire time on KZfaq. Trying to claim he's an online toxic troll attacking their franchises instantly loses me.

There is 4 main "target audience" that works. 1: For men 2: For women 3: For boys and 4: For girls. "The modern audience" is a tiny niche that does not exist outside of California.

madame web was actually in the 90's spiderman cartoons.

I'm pretty sure madame web was just a Sony throw away movie so they could still keep the spiderman ip

The thing I don't get about hollywood pushing females to be the primary cast is like, why not hot men?? Since when do women only want to watch other women? Legolas was hot. Anakin was hot. the entire TWILIGHT movie? Women WANT to look at men more often than not, sexual appeal goes both ways... and nobody wants to watch a show where the entire cast is mediocre-looking women on top of terrible writing.

Talking about exhuming old ip’s so they don’t go public is such a great point that not enough people are talking about

Tyler Perry makes THREE things: 1 - Madea goes to.... 2 - Things like The Oval or Ruthless 3 - Broadway plays People only know him for Madea and it's his money maker, the others are "success" but he made them as a hobby, not a job

32:35 because it’s THEIR movie/game and everyone NEEDS to love it. Everyone.

After Tony snapped his fingers, it was done, we just have a years long epilogue

Funny thing is, The Critical Drinker is a successful Published Author. He knows about writing.

15:45 they bought the armor from Medieval Times

As a 55 year old comic nerd I had never heard of Madame Web or Morbius. That is why I did not go and see them. Not because of review bombing. I have never, nor ever will, watch or not watch a movie on the basis of reviews. Either in Newspapers/Magazines or youtube. I have enjoyed movies that were panned by critics and not liked movies raved about. It's about personal taste and interest.

Peter Jackson completely mic dropped LoTR. There is no reason for anyone to touch it ever again.

Ironman wasn't a popular character at all before the movie. It took a good movie to kickstart the MCU.

I'm a big time Marvel comic fan from way back. I know just about every obscure character. I would love to see those characters in movies if the movies were good!

Marlvel are like are someone selling hotdog in an nail sallon, even if they put sprinkle on it, its not gonna sell

its funny that they whine we ragged on Disneys Pinocchio remake, but dont mention how many people loved Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of Pinocchio because they dont want to admit that they made a bad movie and would rather say we hate bombed it, instead of admitting it was because we just preferred the way better written movie.

Isn't this the whole reason Henry cavill got pushed out of the Witcher? Cause he wanted to follow the story and uphold its original story

To the point about movies being controlled, check out the film Babylon. The state of movies prior to sound was a totally different world.

24:43 oh I remember getting that I got the green one I loved it was so cool I still have it it's actually with me in my room right now, I love how you just brought back a old memory that I cherish, I really love the Mandalorian series on Disney because I grew up with Boba Fett and the other mandalorians love Mandalorian so when I see my favorite Mandalorian oh that made me happy.

I was in Milan, Italy before Rings of Power came out, and the promo was INSANE. There were giant 20-stories-tall banners plastered on luxurious buildings and boutiques everywhere in the city. Your eyes couldn't escape it. This had the highest budget for a TV show (and its marketing) EVER. Not so different from the Marvel or Star Wars brands of this world today. Yet these companies have the audacity to claim that youtubers and online comments are the source of their failures; that they sway the masses away from their wonderful content. Not their abysmal scripts, lack of vision, terrible editing, trend chasing tendencies, poor production value, staggering budgets, bad hirings, incalculable reshoots, overdone ideologies/politics, and overall incompetence. No. It's the mean comments on the internet. Of course.

They want NPC consumption. They're not interested in receiving actual critique. They're not interested in whether or not you like their video games. You're supposed to shut up, purchase the product, consume it - rinse and repeat. You'll ingest whatever ideological dogma they want you to. Any wrong think is problematic. Anyone not with the program will be deemed at hate monger. "Don't like She-Hulk" - hate monger. "Don't like denigrating video games"...hate monger.

it's like selling product, and you reject their complain about your product.

Without the internet it was also easier to threaten or bribe people behind the scenes but now people can just post the receipts of everything and put wrong doings in the spotlight.

This reminds me of the backlash the sonic the hedgehog movie got for the character designs, except they actually listened to the criticism and resigned accordingly, which not only saved the movie but turned it into a successful trilogy, criticism is valuable and companies need to listen to it because ultimately consumers decide what's successful in the end

The crazy thing is that Disney bought Star Wars and Marvel specifically to bring in a male audience, 'cos previously it was mostly women. Men were the new audience Disney wanted.

13:20 Prey was really really good.

@14:20 hahaha I also fell asleep during that movie!

First they came for the dislike button, now they're coming for literally anyone speaking out

Word of mouth is still strong. They can ban all they want. People will look at a bad movie and then they tell their friends, which will tell to their families which in turn will tell to their friends.

8:30 nostalgia can be a powerful thing, but iron man, captain america, and all those movies, i had 0 nostalgia to take from, but they were still amazing.

Lovely video. I can always rely on you guys for quality deals in the e-shop. I would appreciate more frequent sales videos. Love from the SA Vet Koek superiority

The customer is always the customer. When you insult your customer, they become someone else's customer. Like when coors lite got all of bud lite's market share loss after they insulted their customers.

Underworld, Æon Flux, Elektra and Ultraviolet. Damn, those were the days of femme fatale movies.

they should make a realitu "hell sets" like hell kitchens but for studios

Remember when Netflix removed their ratings system because Amy Schumer had the worst show in history?
