Largely I agree people should be careful about any review to be honest. I don't really equate them with "fan" and "Audience reception" ratings though.
Given the type people that feel compelled to comment on Supergirl in the negative on the Internet I don't put any weight on any audience reception poll or reviews. It's a case by case basis as with all things. Audience reception on RT for example with Discovery is worthless I believe and it was before season 1 even aired.
I'm going to be direct about this as I can because it's been an issue for me with Supergirl in specific so this is going to be kinda off topic I think, maybe. I'm not going to take the opinion of a guy or guys on the Internet seriously when they use the term SJW as a negative or talk as if they're an authority on what feminism should be and is. Or gets pissed when a female superhero show decides not to tailor their message or the character's outlook on situations to him or a male in general. That's largely what I see when I see people complain about Supergirl in audience rating sections and those that try to push their youtube channels. Now those people I feel largely people should be wary of. So with that show I purposefully look for female writers and commentators. It's the reason why I by pass every single damn video on youtube that even tries to critique this show or seems like they're going to go negative if it's a guy doing it because it's usually the same type of guy that has no business talking about the subject matter.
It's the same way I ignore and bypass white guys on youtube or the Internet in general that try to dismiss what a person of color says is/was racist or bigoted. One it's not your life and you (talking to the youtuber here) don't experience it so you don't get to tell me what I experienced wasn't racism, etc. Those people have no business talking about the subject and should not have their opinions counted.
So to bring it back to Discovery. If someone hated on the show before hand their opinion does not matter. They've proven their negative bias already so anything further negative is worthless. We know what the show is and is trying to be. You accept it on its terms or you don't. If they don't they should move on with their life. I'm not going to put any stock in anyone that is simply hate watching the show now. What they have to say is worthless. They can stay in their bubble and I'll continue to tell people to ignore them.
Since many professional critics and even blogger like sites that have reputations on the line largely gave Discovery positive reviews to varying degrees I'm interested in what they have to say overall on season 2. Do they think it's better, worse, or around the same as season 1 and why . I'll still form my opinion for myself as well.
I'm not talking about a red carpet premiere or anything, but maybe an olive branch to the subscribers who stuck with AA during the hiatus to get just the first two episodes instead of one.
Ah I got you. That would be nice as they did do that last time.
What I'm curious about is if there is something replacing After Trek or if they'll simply do and continue to do more of these mini-interviews and looks at characters that they've done so far. Behind the scenes videos like you'd find on dvds/blu-rays. Instead of just saving them for that you'll get to see them after each episode.
