What should happen when the critics get it wrong?

Film criticism itself isn't the problem: it is the critic who heavily criticizes a film or another piece of creative work and when that piece of creative work becomes famous or successful, what should happen to the critics that heavily criticized it in the first place?

Keep in mind that the criticism in question would be when the critic themselves say that the piece of creative work will or not or couldn't possibly be successful and what the creative practitioner who created the content was thinking.

There are tons of critics out there that will criticize just for the sake of criticising. These aren't our friends nor are they there to help bring out a better version of a creative practitioner in question.

This episode makes a proposition as to what I believe should happen to the critic. Nothing too harsh and nothing too lenient either. This is a life lesson that the critic will need to learn on how to properly critique a piece of creative work. I am focusing specifically on the film and the television critic.
