"It's pretty much bad."
"They are pretty much the same." "It's pretty much bad."
I have learned that much cannot modify adjectives, but I have seen the sentences, so I was wondering if much can also modify adjectives? Or pretty much is possible to modify adjectives? Thank you so much as always and have a good day in advance.

'Pretty much' is a common phrase, but is pretty much slangy. How's that for working in the phrase.
Pretty as an adverb means 'to a fair degree; moderately'. Example: He is pretty good at what he does.
'They are pretty much the same' means that the things being compared are mostly the same.

Thank you and do you think that 'pretty much' modifies 'the same'?
