are those organic positive reviews or are they by paid shills? its Bezos, his entire platform is majority fake reviews on counterfeit products. at least you know the negative reviews are honest.

We just got done posting the biggest newspapers in the country for the last several pages in this thread. But somehow we are meant to believe we are fostering a narrative. Washington Post, Amazon owned, panned it. They didn't stealth pan it in the body of the article-- they panned it in the headline.
Several other major magazines panned it. CNN panned it. Variety, which is the most favorable magazine available, didn't pan it, but struggled to say anything of substance about it. It's shilling to come in here with no sources and thump RT when we just posted all the major publications, if not just plain disingenuous or willfully ignorant.
Sorry some of the biggest publications in the country didn't like it.

yeah man, its getting bombed, but a bunch of shills are still propping it up in the RT scores. all they need do is give glowing reviews make enough low info normies curious to tune in for the first episode and they can declare it a major success whether anyone ever tunes in again. thats how it is with streaming service shows. you never know what their numbers are, just what they decide to tell you.

these are negative critic reviews from established major media sites. those so called "ragebait" sites are only reading their reviews.

Willfully ignorant as I said. If you aren't checking the reviews, don't comment on the reviews.
You'll be getting a smattering of posts like this last page over the next few days. A lot of people will use a piece of a review, or post an RT, or say such and such, without actually posting a legitimate review.
Must just be those Quartering guys.

he's sort of right in that those guys make money off clicks from any controversy they can muster. oh noes, taka waitit got married and his tweets are anti tranny, oh noes he is no longer working on Thor 5. yeah dont care. but in this case. the content is being handed out by the shovelful. its not just a few reviews from a few sites.

I've read most of the reviews, the difference is I don't automatically discount a review because it's positive or negative. And if you had actually read most of them (unlikely) the biggest criticism seems to be the first episode caters too much to the fans. A long prologue, Morgoth even appears as a giant shadow at the Two Trees supposedly, and a ton of exposition. Die hard fans like myself won't mind that at all, but it might be too much exposition for a casual viewer.

I'm more concerned with pacing and storytelling. Avengers: Infinity War has limited appeal to me in a Tolkien setting.

You know, House of the Dragon might have some sprinkles of characters looking like they have some fetal alcohol syndrome and/or family trees that look like a stick, but what in the ever-loving fuck is the excuse for everyone and everything in Rings looking so cartoonishly ugly and inbred?
I just can't get over how unpleasant everything looks - the closest thing to not looking like fantasy Appalachian inbreds would be some of the elves (not pictured) who just look like average people with wonky ears.
Then once you're done cringing past that, everything else is so garish and hideous with this strange "clean," almost digital looking veneer on top of already cheap and far too clean looking props and costumes.
Why couldn't they have siphoned off some of the multiple millions wasted on this dreck to fund more of The Expanse? It's not like the quality would suffer here, I'm sure.
"Naaaaaaah, I've got this."

I thought the same thing, but Bezos supposedly selected her out of a process of qualifications based on things like being able to get him out of a third world jail/prison, being able to fight, etc. etc. Which I guess at that point, it narrows down the list of people he would be with. If he's that picky about his wife, which seems very politically oriented only, he can probably sleep with anyone he damn well pleases.
