Mixed

[edit]

In the into the reference to Looper.com says "currently getting mixed reviews from critics". [1] Metacritic says reviews were mixed.[2] The score stands at 50% based on 22 reviews. The 22 reviews break down as 6 positive, 11 mixed and 5 negative, mostly in the middle. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 76%. Some critics had different opinions, they usually do.

None of those say "polarized" it should not have been added to the intro as it is not sourced and it is not an accurate summary. Please do not add it to the intro. -- 109.79.168.88 (talk) 01:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "positive but polarized" is applicable either[3] but that change was soon reverted. -- 109.79.162.117 (talk) 01:17, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some editors have a weird love for the word "polarized" even if the sources do not support any such claims. Based on the sources available it was reasonable to say that reviews were mixed, which is why that was the wording being used. Some other editors want to have it both ways and try to say the reviews are "mixed to positive".[4] There have been many past discussion and there is a clear consensus against this sort of wording: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Archive_48#Mixed_to_positive_/_Mixed_to_negative

If editors want to argue that "mixed" is not the best summary of reviews, and maybe they want to argue that based on the score from Rotten Tomatoes that it would be more accurate to say the reviews were "generally positive" then go ahead and make that argument. As more and more reviews come in it might be appropriate give more weight to Rotten Tomatoes score over the Metacritic score. But please don't try and claim that the reviews are both mixed and also positive at the same time. Please pick one or the other and show sources to support your point. -- 109.79.166.207 (talk) 01:09, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change the Page's Protection to Indefinite

[edit]

There is actually a page called "What's Coming to HBO Max in January 2022", and somehow the re-adding to HBO Max date has been removed for a terrible reason. It has a right to be there, since it says so. Same goes for the untitled Mario movie, please change the protection's settings to both this and the untitled Mario film to indefinite due to vandalism. Thank you. AVeganKid (talk) 23:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wherever this information is coming from needs to be cited on the article. KaitoNkmra23 (talk!) 23:51, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Streaming Platform

[edit]

In the beginning of this entry it says that the movie streamed on HBO Max for one month after it's release, yet it's still streaming on HBO Max currently. I just thought that could be adjusted. 96.19.19.234 (talk) 19:28, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
