Oh boy, this topic sailed completely over your head, didn’t it Ace? You think we’ve been talking about critics taking pity on a movie?

My prognosis for round three was, unfortunately, correct. I can’t even contemplate what round four might look like.

So who or what else have they been taking pity on? Being condescending doesn’t suddenly make your argument clever.

The DCEU. I thought that was quite clear in each of my posts on this topic. I mean, how the hell could you have missed that?

I think it also benefited from some pity reviews. You know, like when the dumb kid finally scores a C+ on a test and receives a disproportionate amount of adulation from the adults. DC is that kid. Wonder Woman is the C+.

Sure. Just browse through the Wonder Woman reviews. All the positive reviews that commented on how the DCEU finally got one right and hoped that WW was a sign that DC had learned from their mistakes, are reviews that were influenced by a sense of pity toward the sorry state of the DCEU after the BvS and SS disasters.

You're not exactly instilling a lot of confidence in a round five.
