I know the show sucks, but at least they have leftists defending everything it does, it seems like there is no point in deleting reviews when you will inevitably have a politically motivated group of fans to defend it anyways.

Well the deleting of the reviews are for people who don't have an opinion because they don't know anything about the show...

For most people out there this is something out of the blue... the "normies" so to say is what the reviews are for... and if you know nothing before and you only see "it's good thing"... you immediately get brainwashed into thinking it's "good"

They would've been better off just letting it blow over and people would forget about it, but deleting poor reviews will tarnish Amazon and RoP's reputation for a long time. Clearly Amazon has very little for-sight or strategy skills, which you would think a corporation would have inherently due to needing to make money and thus plan for the future, because if they did, i would think they would be thinking more long-term, and deleting reviews is clearly not thinking about the long-term.

No.. because they don't care if it destroys Tolkien's works or even Amazon itself... as long as the message is pushed into the public's eyes... they have no care of the long-term and have probably moved on to the next movie / tv show / comic / that will be the next subliminal message to push

Now, for most people, it won't even matter if they manage to get their ♥♥♥♥ together and make a halfway decent show (which i highly doubt they would anyways but i will give them the benefit of the doubt on that) because they've already tarnished their reputation in a pretty massive way.

Well for fans it will be tarnished... for the agenda pushers it never mattered in the first place... it was a vehicle to be used and abandoned... there was never a care for what happened to it.

I know his post history, and I've seen enough to make my own mind up about the quality of that user, thank you very much.

lol... that sounds like it was written by some of the characters in this thread that we know...

"Yes, let me tell you other opinions are wrong and my opinion is correct... " is funny indeed.

Not only that but it wasn't an opinion on the show... it was a description of the show... WHY is it "fantastic"? That was never explained...

There's more to explain why NOT to watch it in one line then the entire text wall that said nothing but will remain because it's "10/10"

I don't know about anyone else... but "zero" faults is as unbelievable as "zero" good... that's why I've always ignored the "ten stars" and the "one stars" and read the "five stars" reviews...

But if there can ONLY be "five stars" and above? Then the "five stars" become the "one stars" and the whole rating system is pointless and bias.

Sadly.. most reviews are like that.
No matter if its for a game, show or a new dishwasher.

People seldom make a proper review, where they detail enough about the product, they also don´t showcase what bias they have and that they know it.
I try too (I am not perfect either) to showcase, if I am biased towards something and what might make people buy it and not.. so there is a proper source of information.

But the vast majority of reviews are oneliners or empty subjective talk.

Agree...

And that's a shame no doubt... it is nice to be able to put down ones opinions on things.. but since most reviews are pointless that's why we can't have nice things anymore.

I try to as well if nothing else then put in my 2 cents... but since I don't and can't take reviews seriously myself I put little effort into making them. Reviews are a lost art and cause.

Reviews are for people who can't decide for themselves anyway for the most part... that's mainly why I have to air my concerns about them... too many gullible people out there and too many people with alternative motives trying to manipulate those gullible people... it's a shame.

As for "proper source of information"... depends on what "proper" means, proper to who?

Yes actually there IS proof.. but if you don't want to see the proof even if I show it you wouldn't believe it...

Keep on being ignorant if it helps you troll...

You know you guys are actually on the same side (IE Rings of Power sucks) right? Is now really the time to get petty.

You have access to IMDb and Amazon back end material and the exact reviews they're deleting, you know what those reviews are saying?

You expect us to believe that? That's what you claimed.

What's sarcastic about deleting the bad reviews and only showing good reviews makes people who don't know about the show and read the review first bias that it's "good"?

Why else would they only show good reviews?

Amazon has shut down access to the "Rings of Power" series rating, and IMDb deletes ratings due to a lot of criticism and negative reviews

That is part of the "belieability" a lot of people don´t like when a character, no matter what character it is, is all powerful from nowhere or without it being explained.
That being said, I think RoP have a plot issue and the characters are as I said earlier, not very interesting (atleast to me) they are not well written.

Saying you like believable characters or well-written characters is a cop-out argument. No one says "I want poorly written characters." Well-written characters is a standard of liking something. To make mention of it, means you are using it in a sneaky way to push your agenda.

That person can't read... I have them blocked for being a troll anyway.

Just because the troll agrees The Rings of Power isn't good doesn't mean I agree with other things the trolls says.

I'd rather defend Rings of Power than side with that, thing.
