WandaVision first social media reactions are in
- Thread starter Richiek
- Start date
I know you're joking, but it would be really funny if everyone just started inviting that specific group of critics to every early screening.
i'm starting to notice trends with "positive" early impressions for things end up sucking. "it's risky," "the cast is having a blast," "it was fun/intriguing to watch" etc. an impression for something that is really good would be "that was really fucking good."
You can choose to believe them or not. Marvel movies have the same early reactions as well.
Look again? Okay.
The Rise of Skywalker (2019) social media impressions
www.resetera.com
A quick look at just the first two pages of the impressions thread on Era shows that Rise of Skywalker early impressions were mixed with some people saying they loved it, some saying they hated it and some who were unsure what to think.
You were purposefully selective in the tweets you selected to try and prove your point. However, Rise of Skywalker is -- factually -- not an example of a movie with sweeping overly positive early impressions. The receipts are right here and throughout the first pages of that thread.
It's good to be cautious of early impressions. Look who is posting them and their history. Be careful not to confuse critics with fan impressions (like we saw with BvS). Don't take them as some instant fact that the movie or show is great. But the idea that "early impressions are always glowing no matter what" isn't true.
They get access, which is all they want. They want to be part of the exclusive club.
Are you finally gonna replace your comic book character avatar then?
We ought to cancel social media impression threads at this point after WW 84.
They're just ads.

I purposefully selected tweets from people quoted in this thread hyping WandaVision. Obviously there were actual critics that correctly laid out the true actuality of TROS. Why would I highlight those tweets from individuals not now hyping WandaVision? The point is to compare reactions to see if their reactions are consistently "HYPE" or actually objective. Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty), quoted in this thread, is an example of someone who did call out TROS as shite but is positive on WV. So, they're less likely to be bullshitting than the others I directly compared.
Not sure for the whole series, but the first 3 episodes are 30 minutes each.
It is presumed its gonna be six episodes of half hour sitcom, then 3 1 hour episodes of MCU goodness.
Pro tip for anyone that wants a condensed way to check impressions:
go to twitter, search
"wandavision filter:verified"
And it'll pretty much give you all impressions in one place since it will only have results from verified users. On tweetdeck you can also set a bar to only show a tweet with a minimum like threshold to narrow it down a bit

Really excited for how weird this seems to be.
I'm really happy that every single early impressions thread becomes a discussion about early impressions in general.

I'm excited for this as it has that Netflix Maniac feel, but calling it Lynchian is going a bit far.
Any who, besides my not trust early impressions as seen below.
As I said in another thread, I hope WandaVision is weird, but good like Legion Season 1.
And not weird, but totally up its own ass like Legion S2-3.
Hear, hear.

i know the skifree guy wants you to believe in them but they aren't taken seriously don't worry lol
i would love to understand the thought process that connects the marvel microwave dinner content to david lynch lmao. it's fascinatingly off-base
Hear me out, what if the people speaking positively about these things actually like them?
Like there are legitimately people, reviewers and general audience, who like TROS and WW84 despite a lot of people not liking them. This isn't me saying that automatically means WandaVision is bad because the people who like it like TROS, but c'mon.

I just realized, it's been a year and a half since we've had a social media reactions thread to an MCU property on Era.
A year and a half since glowing initial impressions.
A year and a half of some Era posters jumping over themselves to tell everyone that social media impressions don't matter and then pointing to the nearest released shitty DCEU film that was only screened for enthusiast press.
A year and a half since it turns out the social media impressions were fairly spot on and it turned out to be good to great.
A year and a half since the hype.
I'm so excited for this.

That wasn't my point at all. But please feel free to quote me directly instead of passive aggressive nonsense.
lol I remember early social media reactions also promised that Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel were super weird BONKERS and ambitious.
Honestly, you'd hear that from any MCU centric fan from around these parts as well. And in Dr. Strange's defense, it was weird/bonkers for 5 minutes.
100%, especially after seeing the ultra-generic Falcon & Winter Soldier trailer. Although tbh i felt that way from the moment it was announced.
Oops wish I hadn't read that spoiler! Would have been a funny surprise!
Good to know you're coming into this with an open mind.
Here's one of those unbiased reviews from someone who hasn't seen the show yet in response to someone who has. Love to see it.
