I dont ever trust scoopers. Just because they end up being right doesnt mean they actually knew anything. They often throw out 10 pieces of bad information for every one bit of good and most people seem to only focus on the one piece of good.
I will read them, but much like with most things it is one data point and it means nothing. And since most of them play the clickbait game anyways half the time they dont deserve any sort of real respect. And since they almost never admit they got anything wrong it means they arent really worth anything anyways. That is why even though it seems Grace has some sources close to Zack Snyder I still remember how wrong and awful she was about Wonder Woman and she never owned up to most of it. It is why Eh, Maybe has almost no value anymore. It is why Campion is a joke. If you are going to play the game, own up when you lose.
I think it depends on what you mean by" bad information".
These scoopers tend to report what their sources are telling them , so the scoopers are not getting it wrong or right, they're reporting what their source is telling them.
Their
source doesn't have the right or up to date information. The scoopers don't know anything in that sense. That's why they're going to sources.
Alot of the stuff scoopers tend to report on are what their sources claim things are which the studio would like to do, or what the studio is thinking about, or what they are considering doing.
Other information may be plot points of a film or behind the scenes goings on.
If that information doesn't come to pass i.e. they want to cast a certain actor in a role but end up going with another actor , is that bad information?
If there's conflict behind the scenes but the other trades and the production don't comment on it, is that bad information?
It also depends on what you mean by "they".
Do you mean sites like Cosmic Book news and We've got this covered , a person with a youtube channel who claims to know things, or do you mean a scooper who may have once worked for a trade but still has sources inside the studio system?
I discern between different scoopers and different sources based on credibility. I don't consider them all on the same level.
There's alot of bunk, and sometimes the studios leak false info to find out who in their ranks is leaking stuff.
It's not an issue of
trust for me. If you're looking for 100% confirmation, yeah, you go to the trades for that, cause you're not gonna get that confirmation a scooper.
But for someone like me, who's been following the development of these type of films since the 90s, and who may be interested in what's going on behind the scenes for a given project that a studio may not want to discuss, I'll read or hear out what scooper is saying.
Doesn't mean I'll believe them. There were a few alleged scoops recently that I don't buy for a second based on the plausibility and the source.
For me it's an issue of which scoops and which scoopers have the most credibility , and that in turn, I determine how much weight I give to their report or info.
) But how anyone can trust any of these clowns after they were all fooled by the fake BvS script and spread lies based on it for weeks/months I will never know. The script couldnt even get Lois Lane's name right (Louis) and it blatantly took theories from boards like this and expanded on them to ridiculous degrees and yet all the scoopers bought it hook line and sinker. (Eh Maybe did even after it was proven fake) As soon as it got out and us non scoopers read it we had it figured out within an hour or so. Only the sycophants of the scoopers bought it in any way. Yet all those same clowns with all their same sources still get the benefit of the doubt from the thirsty.
