Because they bitch about it even when it isn't relevant to the article's topic (one article, out of the blue, said The Dark Knight Rises was so bad it made The Dark Knight retroactively shittier).They also are going out of there way to publish several articles detailing why the MCU sucks, most of them written by David Christopher Bell, who is a very stuck up person judging by his comments defending his writing. One of those MCU hate articles even said that Odin turns evil in Thor: The Dark World (Loki disguised himself in reality), which shows that they aren't even bothering to pay attention.
I'm all for pointing out errors, such as the Loki disguised as Odin issue, but I'm not sure how "going out of there way to publish several articles detailing why the MCU sucks" pertains. DCB doesn't like the MCU and as a result that is what he writes his articles about, there is no going out of the way about it. Are DCB, or other writers, not allowed to write articles about the MCU unless they are praising it? I'm sure some of the articles were just normal cracked clickbaiting and other instances are just lame running jokes, both of which are open to criticism, but it mostly sounds like you, and others in the comment sections, are simply mad that they are writing articles that are negative against a franchise you happen to like. Personally, I'm looking forward to a DCB article on why Age of Ultron wasn't so great, though to be fair I'm always looking forward to any article written by Mr. Bell.
DCB isn't the only one who writes them, but he's written a good deal of those types of articles. The issue I have is that there are so many of them being published since after The Avengers had come out, and it's becoming irritating for a lot of people.
But since this is me after several months of putting up with this kind of stuff talking, my opinion of them is that I, quite frankly, just don't have the time nor the energy to get riled up about those articles.
