対立DISAGREEMENTS

One region, one vote — which only matters if the regions actually vote differently. They do. Godzilla (1998) is 3rd in China and 42nd in the international pool, a gap of 39 places in a field of 43. The closest two regions agree at ρ = 0.83; the furthest apart sit at ρ = 0.26.

The bar shows where the film sits in each region, best on the left. A long bar is a film two audiences saw differently — not a film anyone was wrong about.

The International Pool and the Spanish-speaking world are the closest pair at ρ = 0.83; Japan and China the furthest at ρ = 0.26. High correlation is exactly why a fifth Western site would add nothing and why China added a genuinely new axis — but correlation cannot be the sole criterion for merging sources, because it would merge the United States and Japan too. That reversal is on the record.

Both remaining critic pillars are critic-derived, so a 1/3–1/3–1/3 weighting is not neutral — it is 33/67 in favour of critics. The house ranking is 70/30 the other way, on representativeness grounds.
