by

Summary

  • MrBeast is sharing his thoughts on the overwhelmingly negative response from critics on Rotten Tomatoes to his new Beast Games Amazon series.
  • MrBeast heavily criticized the critic reviews on the platform, suggesting that some may not have even watched the show.
  • Despite its poor performance among critics, Beast Games has smashed through Amazon records for unscripted series and was Prime Video’s second-biggest premiere of 2024.

As a diehard fan here, I’m expressing my support for MrBeast after he took to social media to address the criticism towards his show, “Beast Games,” on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite being one of the most eagerly awaited events in streaming, with a massive $5 million prize pool for its 1,000 contestants, the show has received a 13% aggregate score from critics on this popular review platform. However, “Beast Games” has been a smash hit, attracting over 50 million viewers within merely 25 days of its premiere on Prime Video. It seems that the critical reception hasn’t quite matched the show’s success among audiences.

Although many fans of YouTube sensation MrBeast have given the game series a favorable response, critics have generally been unimpressed. In fact, the series has received widespread criticism from professional reviewers due to its overly loud and boisterous nature, as well as the creators’ choice not to use contestants’ names. Some also pointed out similarities between the series and Squid Game, arguing that it closely mirrors the Korean thriller. Now, MrBeast is hitting back at the critics of his latest creation.

According to Dexerto’s report, MrBeast defended his game show, “Beast Games,” on his social media platform X, pushing back against negative reviews from critics. He emphasized that while fans gave the show a 90% approval rating, critics only scored it at 13%. In response to criticism, MrBeast humorously suggested that some reviewers may not have watched the series before writing their harsh reviews. Fans did offer feedback, mentioning issues like the elimination process and the format not fitting TV standards. MrBeast acknowledged these concerns positively.

MrBeast Responds to Negative Critic Reviews of Beast Games

Although some critics may not be overly complimentary about MrBeast’s latest Amazon series, the show’s success has largely been evident. Amazon Prime Video confirmed that since its late-2023 premiere, “Beast Games” became their most-watched unscripted series ever. In fact, it was the second biggest debut series of 2024, falling just behind the live-action adaptation of “Fallout.” The remaining two episodes of “Beast Games” are set to air on Amazon Prime Video, with the finale scheduled for February 13.

MrBeast’s highly successful Amazon series has been recently released, following his recent impact in the aftermath of the U.S. TikTok ban. It appears that MrBeast is collaborating with Roblox CEO David Baszucki to present a bid worth over $20 billion to acquire TikTok from ByteDance. However, ByteDance has not shown any interest in selling the platform yet, despite its ban in the U.S., although companies like Microsoft and Elon Musk have been rumored to be considering buying it. The final episodes of Beast Games may generate a similar level of excitement as the series’ premiere, even though critics have given it poor reviews.
