Sure it did. It started; stuff happened; about midway through, most people in the audience realised it wasn’t getting any better; then it ended. Now, if that’s not compelling story telling, then I don’t know what is.

I have no idea what I’m looking at.

Captain Marvel had a storyline, wtf are you talking about?

I agree completely. The negative "woke" scores probably do factor significantly in the low ratings on IMDB. Especially since RT comprise critics scores that are likely more focused on story and mechanics while viewers that influence IMDB scores have become much more politicized.

I felt so too, they didn't map the old story with the new events much. It just felt like two running stories with little to tie the two together.

r/tipofmytongue... what are those super-popular "tree diagram" type visualizations called that get posted all the time here? The ones where it's like "number of interviews > ... > offer accepted" and shit like that?

That’s not how RT works. 90% just means 90% of critics gave the movie a positive review, not that it scored a 9/10.

If 90% of critics give it a 6/10 it still gets a 90% RT score.

If a movie have 100% of critics score it 5/10 the movie gets a 0% for having all negative reviews.

Commenting only on the graph itself, your Y-axis is not ideal. You have tick marks at 2.5, so we lose most of the resolution on these scores. The X-axis is titled "Episodes", which means that the labels don't need the "E", as it is redundant.

I would have appreciated some statistics to go with the data. Your comment added variance, but I think averages is where I would start with.

I would assume this is not interpretable to the average person.

3 was amazing. I agree that 7 was too slow. I told my wife after I wish they had cut back and forth with current day during the episode or had the flashback only be half of it.

But even the worst episode of this show was better than 95% of television shows.

Thought Shang-chi was meh. Impressed it was so well received.

3 was fine, actually maybe one of my favorite episodes of the season, 7 was a pace killer and not a very good episode, easily the worst of the season for me.

I don't get your comment. You know it's a language model and not a calculator and yet are surprised that it got a calculation wrong? And no, it doesn't send anything to anything else. It's a language model. It's just predicting that the sequence of words "I'm sending this calculation to python" is the most likely sequence of words that should follow.

Batman v Superman still had a storyline, (not a good one, mind) and develops it’s characters; Captain Marvel didn’t do either of those things and felt like it instead prioritised women empowerment at every plot point (ie. Captain Marvel would never lose a fight or have to reflect on her actions). In that sense, I’d argue that both were actively bad, though I still think Captain Marvel was harder to watch.

I took it the other way. The IMDB scores on 2 episodes (3 and 7) are way lower because they had gay characters in them and the review section is flooded with low reviews crying about the showing "being woke" and how disgusted they are with it.

Did you put "The Suicide Squad"? I want to see where that lands.

>You seem to be assuming that the "audience" is one homogenous entity

Yes, because these are averages. Some audience members prefer one or the other, some people have no allegiance, their scores are combined and averaged which has the effect of balancing out these individual preferences.

Would you agree that:

1.Audiences give DC films an average score of around 75%

2. Critics give DC films an average score of around 55%

3. Both audiences and critics give MCU films an average of around 85%

4. On AVERAGE, audiences show a small (10%) preference for MCU films and critics show a larger (30%) preference for MCU films.

For your theory to be correct, DC fans would have to be much more likely to inflate DC films' scores, but MCU fans would not do that. I don't understand what you see in the data that supports this theory.

IMDB has higher review score variance (s^2 =0.49) compared to that of RT (s^2 =0.22)

edit: superscript

The graph was made with https//scatterplot.bar The data were manually collected from IMDB and Rotten tomatoes "The Last of Us" web pages

Further proof that RT is irrelevant

Sorry I didn’t see this. Typically the automatic screeners are looking for particular words for the position, sometimes you can get them right out of the job posting. Sometimes it takes some googling to figure out the key words for the industry.

The data show the strong advances both Bol and Klaver have made in the last few years - they are taking full seconds off their PB each year outdoors (where there is more data). It also shows the big improvements generally from 2018 onwards (with a short interruption due to COVID) which we would attribute to improved shoe technology. Something which has also clearly benefitted Bol/Klaver. Also interesting is the improvement in times in 2005-2006 which then disappear - perhaps a result of a temporary hole in PED testing. The improvement in times in the early 80's are generally attributed to PEDs prior to he widespread introduction of testing.

I thought Black Panther was a cool movie, but 9,6/10 is an insanely high score. It's pretty damn close to perfect.

It really depends on what people perceive a 9.0 to be. Personally, Id rank very few movies as a 9 or more, as they'd need to be visually pleasing and fantastically written. Others might say a 9.0 is a good movie with no obvious flaws, so a 9.6 could absolutely be justified.
