Only losers review bomb a show they haven’t even seen yet

Ironheart has not yet aired on Disney+. Yet people flocked to Rotten Tomatoes to review bomb the series, putting it at a 32% audience score without an audience there to watch it. That’s what we call loser behavior.

Social reactions poured in the night before the show’s release, with many both praising the series and talking about the parts of Ironheart they didn’t love. It feels wrong calling the social reactions “mixed” because they are, for the most part, positive. I myself was very positive in my social post for it, talking about how the series “warmed my heart.”

So to see literal losers review bombing the series just because they want it to fail is so pathetic it truly is sad. You have nothing better to do than review bomb a show because what? A young Black woman is at the center of it? Do you see how gross that is?

In the replies to any post about Ironheart, there are people who want to refuse to believe the show is good. My own post had people calling me a “shill” and any number of names because I like a show. Riri Williams is literally one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time. So yes, I loved the show about her.

But I also think that people who spend their time review bombing or yelling online about how much they hate things have no real personality or job in their life. Yes, I tend to love a lot of things but that’s because I have always loved movies and television. I don’t just blindly love them, I do have opinions on what could have been different but for the most part, I look at a story as a whole and see how that made me feel.

People who long on and complain because women lead something or a white man isn’t the star are just so incredibly boring and annoying that it really is exhausting to be dealing with this time and time again.
