The thing with Rotten Tomatoes is that its a binary scoring system. If I give a very mediocre capeshit film 6/10 then that's counted as a "positive". That's exactly why movies like Black Panther make it so high, they have a broadly warm reception, but nobody's saying Black Panther is top 100.
On the basis of political economy itself, in its own words, we have shown that the film critic sinks to the level of a commodity and becomes indeed the most wretched of commodities
I don't think that's how it works. The description of the adjusted score metric doesn't say anything about ascribing scores to reviews like Metacritic does, just that the aggregated scores are weighted by number of reviews.

The list linked is ordered by average critic rating + number of reviews, not Tomatometer.
