This sub literally just r/lookatdisneyadvertisments

I hate being forced to read about television in the television subreddit

But you enjoy seeing loads and loads of « X may be the best X franchise Disney has ever released »?

Take Andor, it’s incredible but this sub has 50+ posts every day promoting it.. It’s exhausting.

I'm looking forward to reviews of this special, absolutely. There are a few critics whose insight is very much valued and I can't wait to see how they weigh in.

Collider is a Geek Culture clickfarm staffed by absolutely trash-tier "writers" who, in every case, are nothing more than graduated forum posters/bloggers at best and there is literally zero worth to be gained from reading whatever 8th grade essay someone there churned out for $10 bucks a whack.

I mean the same happened with House of Dragons

If ‘Tell em how you really feel’ was a person! Everything aight at home lil bro? 😂

Are you saying there’s an actual ‘secret disney convention’ where hardcore fans decide to go spam tv praise (of a great show) on a tv sub? 😂

home is fuckin' great, my guy! I mean, i'm killing time at work right now, though, but home is all gravy.

But anyway, for real though, stop visiting Collider, and for certain stop sharing shit from Collider. They're not a news site, they don't know what they're doing 3/4ths of the time, and they certainly don't have anyone there worth reading for their critical thought and writing skills.

I agree with you on Andor especially … I gotta say I am really looking forward to this one though I grew up on the He-Man & She-Ra Christmas special though so I’m the target demo.

While thats your opinion, I have to disagree. STEVEN WEINTRAUB for example, is very resourceful. Dont think they’d be having exclusive interviews with Filmmakers/actors etc, if they—as you alluded to—‘don’t know what they are doing’. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Im sure there’s a lot of other reputable film/tv publications/sites that some folks find lacking too. But then again its just an opinion too.

FWIW, they do seem to have been going somewhat downhill; I know I've seen multiple articles they've had which had just flat-out wrong information in them.

A show that's popular with Reddit's demographic is commonly posted about on a subreddit with thousands or even millions of people regularly visiting it? Who would have guessed? /s

If anything, I'm surprised there isn't even more stuff posted about things.

It's a teevee review... you don't need a Pulitzer to write those. And you don't need to be a news site to review teevee

But you see, that was a show I liked, so it couldn't have been shilling.

>you don't need a Pulitzer to write those

This is like when people who stick up for shitty filmmakers bring up Citizen Kane, right?

Nobody's saying it has to be Pulitzer Prize or nothing. What I'm saying is that Collider is a junk outlet, they hire junk writers, and there's nothing worth looking at on their junk "Geek Culture" clickfarm.

It's like if you admitted you liked huffing farts, and someone else said "you maybe shouldn't do that" and then you responded by saying "We can't all fart Chanel No. 5, you know."

Like... what? Who said... Chanel? My guy stop inhaling other people's colons, that's all. And stop breathing it on other people if you can.

Wow this is a psycho response

Weintraub is from the days back before Hollywood understood how to use the internet or how to navigate geek culture. He was one of the dudes like Harry Knowles who was in the right place at the right time and was able to leverage “being a nerd” into becoming somebody with industry connections. He seems like a nice guy (unlike Knowles, obviously), but he’s not exactly a top tier journalist, and he also barely writes for Collider anymore due to being the EiC. Collider used to be a pretty good movie site. They reported all the industry news, had some good articles just for the site, and reviews were well-written. Some great people like Perry Nemerioff and a few others came out of that period. Even Matt Goldberg, who often had hot take contrarian reviews or seemed hard to impress, wrote some pretty great retrospectives on things like David Fincher’s filmography. It was a solid alternative to reading the industry trades after Rotten Tomatoes sold to Flickster and fell apart…

… Until Collider sold out to Complex. Almost overnight, the site became unmitigated dogshit. Less and less coverage for non-“nerd culture” topics, cheap listicles like “Top 10 Dog Actors,” and politics inserted into every single article (and I’m not even a “keep politics outta my content!” kinda person, it just got old clicking a casting announcement article and skimming over eight paragraphs about an unrelated hot button issue before reading Tom Holland is going to be Spider-Man). It became such a slog after the merger, culminating in their terrible nerd shows with dorks like John Campea. RLM dunked on them so hard for that shit they had to pull the plug from embarrassment.

Tl;dr: I watched Collider fall apart in real time, the site is indeed awful now.

You are an actual weirdo

I have been looking forward to this for a while. Especially after Peacemaker. James Gunn's stuff is like the superhero equivalent of Scrubs and Futurama, where it mixes silliness and stupid humor with moments that rip your heart out. Expecting something like that for this.
