How Justice League played out shows you how unhappy WB was with BvS. How poorly it did.
It's is not a question. It is a statement trying to make RT look untrustworthy, even as how RT works has been explained multiple times in this thread.Why don't you contact the reviewers or RT directly to ask about this situation? It doesn't solve anything to ask your fellow SHHers who don't owe you any explanations for a site's inner working. And why did they cut out the reviewers' names in that screencap? It's easier to detect who are the Marvel "shills", you know.
So how does RT work?
It's like this, my man:
They cut off the head of the chicken. They put one fresh tomato in one corner and one rotten in another. Wherever the chicken goes and drops dead is how they submit the review.

There's clearly a massive bias against Marvel and they love DC. I mean, how else can you explain this, right?

Matt Atchity (Editor in Chief at Rotten Tomatoes) said:It depends on whether the critic is submitting their own review or if the RT staff adds it.
Some critics (about half) add their own reviews to the site, and they mark them Fresh or Rotten themselves.
For the reviews that the Rotten Tomatoes staff finds and adds the Fresh/Rotten determination happens one of two ways:
- Sometimes a critic has previously set a rating threshold (i.e. anything that is 3.5/5 stars or above should be marked Fresh) so the staff will use that as a direction. Keep in mind that 3.5/5 stars may mean Rotten to another critic; different critics have different tipping points.
- When a critic doesn't use a score and doesn't submit their own reviews (this happens with Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, for example), then the Rotten Tomatoes team will read the review and make a determination. And frequently the RT staff will check with a critic on a borderline review to make sure that it's marked correctly.
Yes.OMG; are people now trying to simultaneously argue that JL was bad because WB butchered Snyders' film and critics that don't like it are biased against DC?
Wow; I guess DCEU fans are the newest protected class:Yes.

Thank you.There's clearly a massive bias against Marvel and they love DC. I mean, how else can you explain this, right?
Seriously though, this is nonsense, and you can do this for literally any franchise. How RT works has been explained hundreds of times by now, but here it is once again:

To all of you blaming critic reviews for the Justice League box office flop, I have one question:
Why did Batman V Superman not flop with even worse reviews?

A prime example of people solely looking at the score as opposed to looking at the specific critiques of each film.
These comparisons between scores of Marvel/DC films are so ridiculous that I'm questioning whether it's worth pressing enter on this reply at all.
Man, I was just asking, was not insinuating anything. Thx for the answer nonetheless.
Thank you.
Heavens, this has been explained over and over again. Each critic gives the film their rating and then they let RottenTomatoes know whether to classify it as a positive or negative.
Your 2.5/4 might be positive, mine might be negative. It's apples and oranges.
This also shows the absurd nature of rating movies. One person's 2 outta 4 is entirely different than another person's. This is why I stopped rating movies altogether. And I respect critics that don't.
