apparently you don’t even realize that this isn’t a movie. It’s a show.

It doesn't matter. It's the same story they've been telling for the last twenty years. It's tired and played out. "What if Iron Man was a woman over 8 episodes instead of three movies" isn't fun anymore.

Nowadays these reviews or ratings are being used by the monoculture people to say “at the moment our monoculture likes x and hates y”.

Sure. Because they think the solution to a played out franchise is to make it darker and edger, having learned exactly nothing from the collapse of the DCU.

Of course it isnt fun when you go into it with the mindset that the story will be that. I have only watched the first episode so far and it doesnt seem like Iron Man to me at all, bar the fact that it's comic booky and superheroe-y.

And my point was that reviews should actually review a show/movie. And not be a general feedback tool for how a franchise is perceived. The studios have failed in providing such more broad and general feedback channels.

I don't think its mindset so much as experience. If you've never watched an MCU feature before, I suppose it could still be a lot of fun. But they've been making these shows since 2008, at least? If you've seen them, you've seen them.

reviews should actually review a show/movie

Sure. And if you've made your brand on the "I hate everything with non-white men in it" the first thing out of your mouth is going to be "That's not a white man on screen so it sucks!"

But if you've spent nearly twenty years watching the Superhero franchise eat its own tail, what is left to review? This feels like asking someone to give a cinematic review of the latest Pokemon episode. "Guys, it looks like they're trying to catch another rare one and... omg its Team Rocket again, I wonder if they'll get foiled this time, too".

The studios have failed in providing such more broad and general feedback channels.

The studios think they have a formula that prints money. And the formula is so deeply engrained, so dogmatized, that there's no room left for more than a change to the window dressing. The fact that they did take 18 years to get to "Maybe someone else can play Iron Man?" is illustrative of the trench they buried themselves in.
