I can't believe I missed this. This post has two major issues. The first issue is you are posting something from Grace Rudolph, who was fired from Marvel and has an axe to grind. The biggest problem is that John Campea, the critic in the photo, has been one of the biggest defenders of Batman v Superman. He is one of the few critics that thought it was a good movie. He went on Screen Junkies, argued for Batman v Superman, and won.

This is why I have a hard time talking people with "critics are biased against DC" mantra seriously. When you rely on someone with a clear Marvel bias for your information you theory has problems. Especially when that person goes on a rant that attacks one the biggest defenders of BvS. To make matters worse, Campea considers Man of Steel to be a masterpiece. So this example of bias against DC likes BvS and loves MoS. You may want to reconsider your position.

That's a strawman if I ever saw one. It doesn't change anything from the fact that Collider's founder was invited to the premiere of the movie. There's no chance that Collider would have given it anything but an amazing score. They have a special relationship with Disney and, as such, should make that disclaimer before reviewing the movie.

You know you really should research these things. Because Collider and the critic in question also saw BvS early. The Collider crew gets to see virtually every movie early. Because of huge following they developed at AMC Movie Talk, they get special privileges from all the major studios.

You, like Grace Rudolph, are cherry picking and frankly doing a poor job of it. The focus of the tweet you referenced was a critic that likes the movie. Calling someone that likes a product a hater of said product is poor form at best. If you are going pose a theory, at least do cursory research and not undermine your own argument with evidence that doesn't support your view.

The only person on Collider Movie talk that gave BvS terrible marks was John Schnepp. Campea and Ellis liked the movie and Harloff thought it was okay. Of course those facts undercut you point.
