In the X-Force #1 review, Babs says that the book is great except for Deadpool and that is the reason she gave it a lower score. I am no professional critic, but isn't a bit amateurish to go into a comic deciding not to like a book based on one character you don't like? For example, I don't like Cyclops because he abandoned his pregnant wife and went crawling back to Jean. This doesn't hinder my enjoyment of X-men comics and I don't blast those books simply because he is in it. In a few arcs he shines as a leader and is a good fit for that team. I was able to see this because I did not go into the comic deciding that those books would suck because Cyclops sucks. If someone is going to blast a book because of their predisposition and not on the content of the book, should those people in question really have any authority to review? I want to know what you guys think.

It is a little unfair. The writer done an excellent job on Deadpool. Brought back his old ways, and we all love the book and him in it. I despise Cyclops... and Pyslocke, though in the book - all of the characters have good team chemistry. Surprisingly with Deadpool.

That also caught me off guard.

" I found it funny how Babs changed her rating from 3.5 to a 4? as soon G-man gave it a 5 lol "

Yup... i'll remember this when rating comics now...  it's apparently ok to rate comics down because you don't like the character :D  gotcha :D  Kidding aside..... it's completely wrong and stupid to rate a comic down just because you don't like a character.... I don't particularly like Wolverine as a character, it doesn't mean that every issue I review with him in it is automatically going to be marked down just because he's got an appearance in the issue. That's just stupid reasoning and hypocritical of the reviewer. M "

" @evodmasters: Well I think the outside influences take a big part of it as well. I mean, imagine if Wolverine were invited to join the Great Lakes Champions. Deadpool, though badass and a professional killer, isn't exactly down for secret stealthy type mission. But he fits because of his connections, his ability and his being ok with killing. I can see whys he might think he's there just to boost sales, and that would make someone dislike that characters involvement. Hell, back int he 90s when Wolverine was thrown into whatever title of the month for a sales boost, it felt out of place and forced. It can just bother some people. " 

I agree that it is kind of rediculous to down-rate a book simply because you don't like one character in it. ( Especially since I assume that Babs might never have read the original Deadpool Classic series by Joe Kelly which features a totally different Deadpool than the one that can be found in Daniel Way's series. ) 
But than again, I can see how it can sometimes become difficult to keep neutral while reviewing so many comics. You always have characters you like, and don't like.
Though I found Uncanny X-Force 1 to be a very good issue.

i see that happen on vine a couple times, its funny the hardest thing to get on comic vine is ,a 5/5 review of a comic, even when the entire comic is good ,the cover make it fails ,in some case i agree, but in some case i think it looks good, but it is a matter of opinion

I haven't read the comic or listened to the review, but I can see where Babs is coming from. Deadpool when he is in a comic book(not sure about this one, but I'm assuming) tends to steal a lot of "screen time" from other characters because of this writer need to throw some lame one liner every other time a character talks. Having Deadpool in a lot of comics I have read takes away from the story. As I said, I haven't read this comic, but it's been a  past experience.

Only Jerks Read things they expect to suck...

" She can rate it whatever she wants. So can you. Why not write a review and give it a six out of five, because Deadpool is in it? "

"you can look at my username and see i'm a big Deadpool fan."

"As for Babs, shes entitled to her opinion and could have given it a ZERO if she wanted. Don't let someone else's opinion offend you and stay true to your own likes & dislikes.  "

" @ShirEPanjshir:  As I said, I haven't read the issue.  I'm just making an assumption based off past experiences with Deadpool. "

I'm okay with this. The argument is should people down-rate a comic if the only reason they give is not liking the character, not because of the character's actions in the comic, but due to a previous bias they have going into the comic. "

I believe that is entirely depends on the person reading the comic. I know that I have done it. "

You have done what exactly. "

" @Nobody: I would not proud of that. I don't care if it is Superboy Prime, as moderators you should hold your selves to a higher standard than the rest of us. Setting the examples for the new guys to follow and review each arc as if it were the first time you have seen these characters. "

This is complete and utter nonsense.Mods are people just like we are.If Babs doesn't like something..it's her opinion and she's allowed to have it.What shapes her opinion has nothing to do with whether she is a mod,staff,anything.If not liking a comic because Deadpool is in it is what she wants to do..she is allowed.A review is AN OPINION.If you don't like her opinion than you just don't but you don't have to take it so personally.I don't see how you can set an example for opinions..unless Babs did something direspectful..I don't see how this post makes any sense.

What is the point of this post? "

There are actually two sides to this whole predicament which make it rather impossible to solve.
 
On one side: people like Babs and G-Man have a ( rather high ) influential example to all the comic book readers who look at their reviews. Especially the video reviews. A lot of people rely on their reviews and their opinions whether or not to buy or start buying certain issues. So for this, Babs and G-Man should be trying to give the most objective opinion they can, and rate a comic book purely on story quality, art quality, ... Rather than having their likes/disklikes for certain characters influence the ratings.
 
On the other side: As said before, a review is a personal opinion about a comic book. Thus there actually should and will be an amount of personal likes/dislikes that will influence the ratings. After all, every one of us has his likes and dislikes. And we all downrate / uprate certain comics simply because we love / hate the characters in them. It's to the community itself to realize that Babs and G-Man have their own opinion, but that it doesn't mean that they are the voice of god, and that they are always right.
 
However, what I can't appreciate is that people tend to dislike certain characters, based off only one or maybe two experiences, or maybe based off nothing at all. In the case of Deadpool I'm pretty sure that a lot of people hate him, even though they might have never read anything on him, or perhaps only read an appearance. Than there are those who have only read Daniel way's run, and hate him, which is already more understandable. But for those people I wish that they 'd read the early Deadpool stuff, which was a lot better.
But if you've read Deadpool stuff, and it just isn't your thing, than it's your right to dislike Deadpool and express this in a proper manner.
