They overly praised Luke Cage because #Woke. And overly vilified Iron Fist because #CulturalAppropriation (LOL). I was already soured on professional reviews for years, but seeing how personal politics have screwed over the few sites I still read reviews on I can't even trust good or bad reviews or hearsay from the such sites or people on that spectrum. IGN gave the recent Tarzan movie a demerit for perpetuating 'White Savor Syndrom'. Holy shit, really? Ghost in the Shell was dragged thru the mud for casting the biggest female actress today in a role they felt should have been Asian.
So while I'm glad that WW could in fact turn around DCEU's quality slump, I have to be aware that today's culture critics will inflate their reviews based on shallow shit. Terms like pace and structure are being replaced by 'importance' and 'relevance'. Jesus.
