One interesting thing about Thor Ragnarok or even thinking back to Batman Forever is just how easy it is for a superhero film to completely change the tone of an entire franchise with seemingly minimal effort.
Batman Returns was too dark and kinky? Okay just release Batman Forever which carries on as if things were *never* dark and non-family oriented. Were it not for the individual failings of the Schumacher films people would have just accepted it. Case in point Thor Ragnarok. He literally went from moping about his mother and brother's death in one film to full stand-up comedian in the next.
Thor 3 even took a moment to laugh with the audience about the failed drama of the previous film with that hilarious little play and then they just carried on as if Thor was always a comedic franchise. And that's all the DCEU has to do.
Open Justice League with some kids in super hero costumes pretending to fight in the street and then one of them says "Martha" which causes the other kid to crack up. Or have Cavill Superman in a bar where there's a TV recapping the destruction of Metropolis and some of the patrons say "why didn't he save more people?" to which Cavill replies "Oh he did..." *looks at audience* "off-screen..." *smiles and turns back to the bar.* You get the idea just own their previous failures instead of acting like it was all part of this supposed master plan of character evolution, have fun with it and move on.
Worst post of this thread.
Whedon is the one who ruined it.
No surprise that a movie where Zack Snyder did the brunt of the work on sucks. Still, I did hope that Whedon would be able to salvage it
this freaking movie.... Cyborg becomes a bobblehead omg i cant stop laughing that crappy cgi
They do make fun of previous installments in this movie.the do you bleed line makes for a pretty good joke

The fact that he does this CG smile while holdin' Batman by the face makes it even better!he looks like that bite the pillow meme
Yep.
Take notice that everybody's mocking the Whedon parts.
Seems like the action retains Snyder's kinetic physicality.Action looks ok tho.
You really think Snyder had a say? He left the movie. Reshoots and re-writes were 100% Whedon.That Zack approved. I knew this would happen lol
A bad movie might only pull in only a few reviews and those could be from diehards who like it no matter what, so you get a bad movie with a high rating.
Conversely, a great movie might be boring to most -- like BR2049 -- and perhaps gets many poor ratings but the film might actually be good (depending on your point of view).
I really don't think RT alone makes decisions for people. I'm sure most people have 2-3 sources they trust and if all are in agreement, then that will sway them.
I've never known anyone in person that let a Rotten Tomatoes score influence their decision to see a movie or not. I've never even known anyone that let a movie review influence their decision to see a movie or not either.

Although there's a couple shots of Batfleck that make me doubt.

What did you know would happen? We've been doomsaying since Whedon came on board.
Ah, that's a little different than Snyder himself approving huh?That everything Joss did needed to be approved by the studio.
You somehow think that 15% can't bing down the remainig 85%.Here’s what he told The Washington Times:
“The goal is to make sure when you’re watching the movie, it all feels cohesive. That imprint that Joss had, some aspect of it is going to come out in the direction, but the actors are already pretty much down the road on their arcs. Let’s just say 80, 85 percent of the movie is what was originally shot. There’s only so much you can do with other 15, 20 percent of the movie.”
