Everyone talks about how CGI was "so much better back then" while mainly using only one example.

No, CGI wasn't better back then. Davy Jones was just exceptionally good. You just don't remember all the crap that got released back then too. https://t.co/ZWXoQJRUGz

MODOK is actually very technically impressive, like the skin textures and metal arms and everything. It's the design itself people found iffy. Watch Corrider Crew's video on it.

I don't think he's necessarily wrong - there's like 15 years separating Davy Jones and MODOK so I could believe that the latter is more sophisticated technically thanks to the slew of advancements that came during that period of time. He's wrong about the design only being iffy. It's fricking hideous.
