    Not really. Up until recently, most of the MCU was good to great. I’m not exactly sure where the shift happened, but a lot of the more recent ones have been trash. I’m talking about the secret invasions and black widows, where they’ve completely lost the script.

      After End Game was that shift. It felt like they told all there was to tell, and the stakes were gone. It peaked.

        It already started slightly before Endgame - both Ant-Man and the Wasp, as well as Captain Marvel, weren’t great. After Endgame though it definitely fell off completely.

        Kinda like season 7 and 8 of Game of Thrones. During season 7 we still had some hope left…

      The peak is at whatever point you realized you had seen the same movie before.

      Which is why RT scores were usually good. Because a RT percentage is just the percentage of critics that thought the film was good or better.

      Too many people treat RT scores as a single “this is a film that has a quality rating of 90%” whereas it’s “90% of critics think it’s not shit”.

      Really, this is RTs fault for picking a metric so often used in a different way.
