The crazy conspiracy theorists really run like clock-work, don't they? When I checked and saw that the reviews were coming I was wondering how long it would take to have a form of "Disney owns Critics" rationale. If it wasn't for ThatGuy replying to DC-Fan I would've missed the first instance.

Owned by WB and Comcast. And Comcast is ran by Brian Roberts who hated Bob Iger before Bob Iger got Fox away from Comcast. So how in the world would Disney have influence over Rotten Tomatoes? And at this point would Disney even need Rotten Tomatoes? Disney has branding to get them by. Don't mind DC-Troll. When reality doesn't go his way (a frequent occurrence), he just makes shit up.

Ouch 16% that's beyond dreadful. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be any good but christ. And this is exactly why it needed to join the MCU. The X-Men series as we know it is dead now. It's well-known that Disney has a lot of influence over RT. This looks like a case of Disney making sure that the last X-Men movie gets bad reviews so when MCU makes their 1st X-Men movie, they can say how it great is compared to the last X-Men movie. How is it well known that Disney has a lot of influence over RT? What happened to Aladdin? A Wrinkle in Time? Tomorrowland? And why would Disney sabotage their practically their own movie?

There you go, bringing that logic stuff into the discussion again

When you're looking for consistently good/great superhero movies, time and again, the MCU is the only game in town.

Any time a comic book film comes out, it gets compared to the MCU. I wonder why...
The Fox-Men films are held to such a low standard, it's gotten to the point where their own films point it out.

And remember how Warner Brothers pretty much put review embargo back in place with ‘Justice League’?

The Marvel Movies and Star Wars movies have been pretty critic proof no matter what. So why doesn't Disney flex their influence to get the shills to give the movies that don't have built in audience positive reviews? Like A Wrinkle in Time, Tomorrow Land, The Lone Ranger, John Carter, etc...

Even the Academy Awards thinks MCU is the standard because it was the MCU that broke into the Best Picture nomination.

And they still got a whopping 40%!

Don't forget Solo, the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Alice in Wonderland 2, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Mary Poppins Returns, Cars 3, The BFG, etc. They took quite a loss on all of these films. It wouldn't make financial sense to let all of these crash and burn if they actually had the power to influence their reviews.
Now with the success of their live action remakes of animated classics (Beauty and The Beast, The Jungle Book, etc.), you would think they would have used this power to ensure that this year's Aladdin and Dumbo received nothing but positive reviews, especially with The Lion King coming out later this Summer, but they didn't and the reason is obvious to everyone except the conspiracy theorists.

Isn't Rotten Tomatoes ran by WB? No, WB invests in a minority share of RT. Many corporations invests in a minority share of other companies. But investing in a minority share of a company isn't the same as running a company. I invest in Microsoft stock so I'm officially an "owner" of Microsoft, but I have no say or control in how Microsoft is run. Similarly, WB has no say or control in how RT is run. So how in the world would Disney have influence over Rotten Tomatoes? Many companies change their policies because of customers or advertisers. So yes, advertisers often do have influence of over companies. Because they control the money. And Disney is as close to a monopoly as there is so Disney controls a lot of money and thus Disney has the power to heavily influence other companies like RT.

How is it well known that Disney has a lot of influence over RT? What happened to Aladdin? A Wrinkle in Time? Tomorrowland? And why would Disney sabotage their practically their own movie? Aladdin, A Wrinkle in Time, and Tomorrowland aren't CBMs. And Dark Phoenix isn't an MCU movie. Disney wants the last X-Men movie to have low ratings so when MCU finally makes their 1st X-Men movie, they can say how great it is compared to the last X-Men movie. It's similar to how Vince McMahon often builds up a WWE superstar by having him dominate and destroy a bunch of jobbers.
