Critics Strike Back!
Sorry Disney, Marvel, Pixar and LucasFilm. You Can't Bully Critics.

You do realize that this pretty much shoots down “Disney pays critics!” theory, right?

Like Disney cares. They'll be making billions off of their brands forever.

With Pixar, Star Wars, and the MCU, Disney is king anyway. They will once again dominate the box office this year like they will every year in the foreseeable future. If they actually do buy out Fox, then it will be even worse.

Dumb move on Disney's part. Some junior executive is going to have to fall on his sword and end this.
Until that happens, we can presume that reviews of Marvel films will be less favorable than they otherwise would be, due to this feud with the critics.
Thor Ragnarok is currently at 93% .... probably would be more like 95-96% without the angry critics.

Actually, any film that gets released in the U.K. first before getting released in the U.S. has its Tomatometer dropped to some degree when it’s released in the U.S. This was happening with MCU almost all the time because of this. |

Well, understandably critics have to do that so to not lose face in the eye of the general public. But it does not change the "don't bite the hand feeding you" situation.
Disney is still the faux-quasi-monopolist having a (legal) dominant market position in several sectors and thus powerful enough to give the critics' platforms money for ads, projects, infotainment content etc. The pressure is still enormous. Disney paying the critics? It's rather that you have to court them with invitations etc to keep a good, brownnosing business relationship.
Of course not all media is affected but only those who have transactional relationships with Disney or their group subsidiaries (which is a sizeable junk).

Because that worked out so well for ‘Tomorrowland’ and, to lesser extent, ‘Beauty and the Beast’.  |

Try again without child-like eye roll emoticons if you want to be taken seriously. |

Apology if I misunderstood anything, but if you're suggesting that films from Disney get critical acclaim because they basically blackmail critics, well... those 2 films that I mentioned will tell you otherwise. |

I don't think anyone was saying that Disney was doing the right thing. Even I thought this was petty. |
