Reply to comment by Bennito_bh in [OC] MCU vs. DCU in Rotten Tomatoes by theotheredmund

It's worse in your opinion because you're trying to figure out how good something is and that's not what it's for. It's there to tell you how likely you are to enjoy something and it's much better for that.

It’s categorically worse. Instead of doing both, it’a poorly attempting and failing to do one.

For RT critics there is no difference between 9 critics scoring 100 and 1 scoring 49, and 9 critics scoring 51 with 1 scoring 49.

You are not equally likely to enjoy both of these films.

Rotten Tomatoes isn't actually automated like that. Critics mark their reviews as positive or negative.

So in both of your examples, 9/10 people said "Yeah, I liked this" so you have a 9/10 chance of liking it.
