Yeah, sometimes it's the fans that ruin things.
See: console wars
allegations of SONY PAYING for a dev to NOT make a game on XBOX
NINTENDO is holding bayonetta 2 HOSTAGE to FORCE you to buy their DUMB WII U BABY TOY with NO GAMES
It's also the thing where if something is universally regarded as GOOD, you WANT to experience it for yourself. If it's BAD, you want to know why it's so bad and are more interested in seeing what all the hoopla is about
Like I wouldn't be as interested in RLM gushing about Mad Max: Fury Road 2: 2 Mad 2 Furiosa for 2 hours spoiling the entire plot. I'd rather watch the damn thing in a theater, I know I'll like it.
I will NEVER watch Emoji Movie ever, and if I can see a humorous and detailed longform takedown of it it's killing 2 birds with 1 stone
that's why you'll never see a plinkett review of a fast/furious movie; not too overhyped and well regarded to be worth taking down a peg, not actually terrible enough to warrant an hour long rant against it
