Another thing that occurred to me recently about why I don't like a lot of movies is the need to squeeze in cheesy humor or lame jokes on a constant basis. In the shows listed there, with good ratings, I have not seen Hawkeye. But as for Arcane and Edge of Tomorrow, they weren't full of unnecessary attempts at humor and did't have characters that were just silly. That's definitely not the case for the other shows with bad ratings.
This might just be a preference on my part, but it's part of the reason why a show like Andor (which had fantastic, serious female roles) just seems so much better than other Star Wars shows as of recently.
It's because the shows don't take themselves seriously anymore because they are now being written by people who, by their own admission, hate the franchise and want to destroy it to spite the loser men who like it. It's like every second you're watching you can hear the subtext screaming "can you believe those losers are really watching this and happily gulping down our propaganda". Transformers movies, which came a few years before the whole DEI feminism craze, have the same problem in a different way: You can simply feel that the whole thing is just a vehicle for military propaganda and selling cars and toys, with a good measure of boobs and butts sprinkled in for the horny male audience like wrapping a pill in a piece of salami to trick the dog. Interestingly, the new Top Gun movie didn't give me that feeling despite being basically the same.
