I think you have a misguided approach on how to read RT scores ,93% in RT doesn't mean 9.3/10 .RT's tomatometer gives the ratio of critics who liked the movie in percent .For ex if there are a total of 5 critics out of 5 who have given >=2/5 or >=B- then the RT score will be 100 % not the weighted mean of scores given by the critics ,just whether they like it or not.So fresh means more than 60% of the critics liked the movie .Doesn't mean they give 6/10 .So 93% critics have liked the movie ,seems reasonable considering A- cinemascore .On the other hand when you look at the average rating for Spiderman:Homecomming its 7.6/10 which I personally feel is commensurate .
Similarly thor 2 and Ultron have an average rating of 6.2(66%) and 6.7(75%) which i think is fairly accurate .
The dark knight has a RT of score 94% ,fairly close to the RT score of SH at 93% but its average rating is 8.6/10 suggesting its a better quality movie .
This is specifically the reason why RT is often a better indicator to judge whether to see a movie or not when compared to meta critic .
