... no? Why would we? They haven't disappointed yet. What would you like to change it to?

I couldn't come up with a good idea for a reword. As to your other question, you didn't find the news I shared in my inquiry disappointing?

There are a few people on the planet with no familiarity with your particular fandom. They're obviously backward and probably from some third-world country, but don't hold their deficiency against them.

(Translation: We have no idea who this person is or why we should be upset.)

Aaaaanyway. The intro says "for the most part" which covers the odd exception.

I added "for the most part" myself, after those stories broke out. I feared it would become dated someday, if there ever comes a time when disappointing news outnumber those that cause rejoicing, but I guess we can cross that hurdle when we get to it.

I'm very interested in seeing your sources for this.

I, for one, think Edgar Wright is great.

That said, I think claiming serious disappointment when the movie is so ridiculously far off that it's basically rumors at this point is unnecessary.

Indeed. At this point, an indefinite "some people" like that just comes across as trying to weasel-word a personal opinion onto the wiki.

I don't know if you'd call them legit sources, but I've read a lot of distain at places like Screenrant comment sections and the TGWTG forums for stories like those.

As with all other instances of "edit an entry because someone thinks the opinion expressed therein is wrong", I'll say no (in my capacity as a troper, not as a moderator) to this proposal.

I don't think you should change the wording because some fans might be disappointed. They Changed It, Now It Sucks! exists for a reason. Fans will always differ in their opinion of what rejoicing vs dethroning applies too. Changing something that reflects personal opinion because it's not your opinion is not kosher.
