After Guardians 2 averaged a dismal 5.5/10 here on our fine board, there's obviously blood in the water. Canaries in the coal mine. Trouble on the horizon. Is Guardians 2's failure to capture the hearts and minds of fans the MCU's "Waterloo"? If not, what will be? Can the MCU recover from this? I look at this once-proud board and see nothing but threads talking about how Star Wars is better, the MCU fandom is in shambles, etc. Really depressed over this, you guys. What can we do?  |

But it isn't MCU fans that scored that on these boards. It's the same as it was before on IMDB when people that hated their rival studios would give low ratings just to bring down the score and not rate the movies properly. So, no, there is no trouble on the horizon. |

Plus, 5.5/10 is basically a grade of "F," you know?

When you have a bunch of sites giving the movie a higher rating then you have message boards with anti-studio people on it, you have to say that can't be right. WCW went out of business because they were stupid in how they managed. Even TNA is going to crap. |

I haven't been back since I registered here, so this places carries great weight -- and it's only going to spread, the news of that 5.5/10 score. WCW was stupid, sure. But part of that was overextending themselves as the MCU is doing now. DCEU is poised to knock them down and maybe even out. That's what I mean about Guardians 2; could it be the first domino to fall? |

And they aren't competing with the other studios like the other studios are doing with them. I don't think this site is as big as you think it is. Anybody can use the IMDB initials. This really isn't a big news site that people will flock to. This site (at least the sections I've been to) is full of people that hate on the stuff they aren't a fan of. There aren't many objective views to say that the ratings here should be listened to. They are already talking about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. So, no, there is no domino fall. More like another domino added to the bigger picture. |

It could prove to be their Waterloo in retrospect. |

GotG2 is getting good scores all around except for a random forum that's using the name of a well known movie site. That won't stop MS from making GotG3. People not liking Thor 2 didn't stop them from making Thor 3. And that's looking like it will be a good movie itself. |

Shit, this topic alone already has like ten replies and I just started it! |

And another one joins the fray! Do you think there will ever be another MCU movie again after Guardians got a 5.5 here? Will they even release the stuff they've filmed that's in post? |

You should change your avatar. It's gross. What do you think will happen first: a new avatar or the MCU manages to pull off another critical hit after the crushing 5.5/10 rating Guardians 2 garnered? |
