Q: What do you think about the practice of giving things “Number out of Number” assessments?
A: I think such assessments are nonsensical. They strongly indicate to me that whoever that gives these sorts of assessments isn’t really engaging with whatever they’re watching/reading/playing, etc. They’re just bulking lists of content on a website or an app or whatever. Rotten Tomatoes. Letterboxd. IGN. Legion reviewers on YouTube. It’s all junk. Everyone has understood this for years now, but compulsive habits die hard. People can’t help themselves. Nothing to be done about it except to know what’s on the end of your fork.
