I noticed that The Odyssey had a 5.6 average metacritic user score which immediately had me suspecting foul play so I went to the user scores and sorted by newest and started looking closely at all of the 0/10 and 1/10 user scores and the accounts that were leaving them.

Majority of the accounts had never left any sort of review before and appear to have been created just to leave a bad review for Odyssey. The accounts that have a left reviews before nearly all had an average user score distribution between 0/10 and 2/10 which means almost all of them have never left a mixed or positive review before.

When I would stumble across the rare account that had both multiple prior reviews and a normal looking user score distribution, I noticed that while they gave The Odyssey a 0/10 user score, they would give a 10/10 score to films like "The Furious", "Man of Steel" and "Tron: Ares" .....lol

But seriously, how terrible it is that we live in a reality filled with this many bad actors and grifters that have so much hate in their heart for people that are different than them that they need to do stuff like review bomb films.

I am very tempted to hop on my computer later and record the average amount of reviews and average user score distribution of the last 100 negative reviews and turn this data into a graph so people can easily see how much this film is being targeted by bots and bad actors. What do you guys think?

: When you deflect criticism by pointing out flaws in Daemon Targaryen, specifically using the phrase "what about x?" This is an attempt to excuse you from addressing the fact that your favorite HotD character sucks by painting your opponent as a hypocrite.

TB: Doesn't the fact that Aegon raped someone make him a rapist?
TG: What about killing your wife with a ROCK????????
TB: ....What?
