The Critics Loved This Movie and Without Death Threats! Imagine That...
Thank God Marvel fans don't resort to intimidation and even death threats like certain fan bases have been known to do in the past.
A few bad apples can be overlooked and ignored but certain nolanish fans attack in packs and genuinely scare people. It's clear to a lot of critics that it's easier to give a pass to certain films instead of taking that kind of hate-filled heat. So, numbers are inflated for certain franchise films but, again, thank goodness Marvel is above such things.
We get a true gauge at least in terms of being fear free. Sure, some critics may want to take a bite out of the king of the mountain and some may even be fed up with comic book films in general. Still, anti-super hero agenda or other agendas are normal. Again, the freedom to pursue such agendas free from fear should be every critics right.
As of now AoU stands at a 64-19 winning percentage. Those 64 critics have good taste and 19 appear confused but it's their right to be confused and shout it from where ever they like.
It's great that the rest will chime in free of death threats and the like.
