Straightforward really in this situation

My personal views don't decide whether a career goes down the drain. Mainstream decides they don't like someone and that verdict may result in unfulfilled potential

So you're saying that Corporate Critics help shape the perception in mainstream. So if those same critics are working for one of the few companies that own and control all media and let's say a hot young actress trying to work her way up into more important roles, gets a call to perform on the casting couch and she refuses, could the executives simply blackmail her by simply commanding that the army of automatons talk about how bad they are and try to destroy their career? This is just the misuse of power and influence that you've completely fallen victim too, and not understanding their tactics is almost as bad as the prostitution of their methods.

Momoa doesn't worry me too much. He's a familiar face. The other two are unknowns. Erza has at least some experience. Fisher is a nobody.

I just can't see momoa as aquaman, he is so different than everything in the comics. And gustin as Barry is already too good for Ezra to have a chance imo.

If all critics worked for one outlet (incorrect) and had no negative repercussions for biased work (incorrect) and black mailed a young gun (immoral in either scenario despite false assumptions) that would be misuse of power. I'm not suggesting that is occurring. Critics will be forced to do their job and in this situation it's based on a small sample of work (cameo). Critics aside, fans will also make their judgements off that small sample size. The alternative in this situation would be to give them each a flick as a first appearance to give them a fair chance.

I don't believe critics are exclusive to the right answer as entertainment is obviously a subjective field.

I think an effort should be made to stay on topic to the thread. You can make a thread for critic conspiracies and I promise I will visit

Flash, cyborg & aquaman only have very brief cameos in this movie...then they're getting their own feature

1.I never said they work for one outlet as you did - there is only a few media companies that are at the top - go do some research.

2. Blackmailing a young gun? Never heard a young Actress being referred to as a young gun. I think this is just your patriarchal influence that automatically sees only the demented male aspects of what are essentially perverts by calling them young guns, and that thinking with your gun as a weapon is really the problem.

3. If you're not suggesting or at least knowledgeable that this can and does occur much more often than you care to talk about, then you're just as complacent as those doing it. I'm not suggesting that all bad reviews are a product of a corrupt system (conspiracy theory completely shot) but when one talks about a small role as determining whether they like an entire season, versus a giant theme which someone doesn't even what to acknowledge is much more important, then there's is obviously reasons which you seem to be not even remotely be aware of.

4. Your attitude reminds me of former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi, sorta of an outdated patriarchal view of reality to cover up certain believes you harbour.

I'm aware. That still leaves out batman and wonder woman. The flash will be redundant because they have a perfectly capable actor and aren't using him. They're refusing to combine their tv universe and movie universe, despite how successful it is for marvel. Like I said, opportunity passed them by. Also those movies are coming much later, if they even make it and they're doing it backwards.

is there a reason that they didn't use Flash from the TV series as the same flash that you know of?
