This Reddit post claiming THE ODYSSEY’s “real” Rotten Tomatoes audience score is 56% is making the rounds.
What they did was remove more than 7,000 verified ratings, calculate the score using the 886 unverified ratings left over, and then declare that tiny group the “real audience.”
Rotten Tomatoes has used Verified Audience as its default metric since 2019. Those people bought tickets and still chose to rate the movie. You can dislike Fandango prompting them...I do...but a notification doesn’t remove their agency or make their opinions fake.
You can’t throw out almost 90% of the ratings because they didn’t give you the result you wanted and call what remains the truth.
This isn’t exposing Rotten Tomatoes. It’s exposing the fact that you didn’t pass sixth-grade math.
Christopher Nolan understands something many filmmakers don't:
Spectacle gets people into theaters.
Ideas keep them talking after they leave.
His films give audiences both.
@purplelando just for clarification where are these numbers from? the data i have is stroll 39 - piastri 34
regardless stroll should have more given he had an easier line of opponents and piastri’s h2h stat is largely brought down by his rookie year against lando.
Gonna defend the MCU for a second here but I don’t see the point in complaining about a lack of buildup when this movie IS the buildup, and Secret Wars is the big climax
I think people are expecting the wrong kind of movie here
Base level...treating a mythical, NON historical event as an actual historical event is your first problem.
Your second is not understanding the region in this setting.
Your third is the difference between race and nationality whooping your ass.
