For me I loved the shift in structure and approach to the second season. It is doing the inverse of the first season which started big and time hopping then ended fairly small in a single location. That to me comes across as very deliberate and something you needed to stick with to see pay off. Similarly I thought the bait and switch of the loom was great. I can see why it all might not be to someones personal taste as its pretty different, but I thought it was a really smart way to continue the show. I will say though episode 4 was also very eventful and at that point were talking about half the season (slightly more accounting for episode length) in total!

On Captain Marvel reviews yeah my point was not that theyre great just that theyre not bad for what it is. For a 2023 MCU movie and more broadly a 2023 superhero movie the reviews are fine. I agree with GMUN the scale these movies are rated on has shifted. And of course with RT being a strict positive/negative dichotomy, if I were an RT critic I would have given all but Quantumania a positive review, but there would have been a hell of a lot of 3/5s.

The disparity between RT and Metacritic is why I put little faith in either if these sites.

Movies with higher Metacritic scores can end up with lower fresh scores than movies with lower metacritic scores, and vice versa.

A movie can have pure 7s across the board and be 100% fresh, and movie with 99 100s and 1 40 ends up with a lower tomato score.

Well theyre both useful things just different. RT does show the average score too but doesnt surface it very well so you have to look. The big disparity is that RT is MUCH more lenient with reviews it shows while Metacritic just shows notable outlets, for which there are arguments going both ways.
