A comment on Are film critics losing sync with audiences?. Parent comment
What has happened recently? Is that "popular" movies/shows ARE much better and in MORE quantity than before.
Just tackling the usual suspect (Marvel), it pretty clear that the bar is raised from the past.
And then, the "artsy" movie/show has a greater problem to be above the median, because the median is higher.
And to bot: the blockbusters of today is ALSO more fun!
