Citing the success of similar efforts regarding the movie The Last Jedi, a Facebook group apparently aimed at DC Comics fans claimed that their efforts were a retaliation against a conspiracy organized by Disney and Marvel Comics to use negative reviews to turn people against movies based on DC Comics properties such as Justice League and Suicide Squad.
In the wake of increasing conflict between die-hard fans of DC Comics and Marvel Comics, one group of DC fans is raising money to send schoolchildren from The Bronx to see Marvel’s Black Panther movie.
Scheduled for release in a few short weeks, Black Panther is perhaps the most highly anticipated superhero film of 2018.
The Farooqi Brothers’ efforts come in direct response to recent reports of DC Comics fans organizing to sink Black Panther‘s audience approval score on the popular movie review tracking site Rotten Tomatoes.
