As someone who was a fan of the critics sketched, and became not a fan due to the issues at the heart of this article, I really was hoping for something more thorough.

I assume you never watched his stuff or followed him on Twitter. The worst thing he did was take a few minutes out of a review of Batman V Superman to talk about Objectivism and Rand Paul.

Yeah I have no idea if this particular guy deserves this and if he doesn't then that sucks, but the broader phenomenon is definitely real and bad.

I think he does deserve the mockery. He's a major player in online reviewers which have become so bad, I can't watch/read reviews of some movies before I see them.

Ah I misread you - you're saying you wish the article went in harder on that guy in particular?

Honestly I wish it pointed at the group of movie critics who worked in the style I like, but are unaffected by the culture war (also where I could get a unicorn)

But a case study on how this happened would also have been great.
