You seem to be assuming that the "audience" is one homogenous entity, and not different groups of people for each movie. It's far more likely that the people who gave Black Adam a high rating are people who are already DC enthusiasts who may well also dislike MCU movies, rather than this being one netural group of people who have all given their ratings to all the movies on the chart. It shows that some people like all the movies; it does not show that "audiences like both".

I actually thought the fact that they tried to differentiate themselves from Marvel by having all their movies being dark and gritty was the biggest problem. Along with being actually physically dark to the point you can't see what's happening. I would follow the early Marvel pattern of each hero having his own story style for individual movies, with rare teamup movie. Batman movies should always feel a bit film noir and Batman should get his hands dirty on occasion. But heros like Superman or the Flash should have fun and uplifting stories and should always find a way to be fully good.

This is an over-simplification, the whole deal with ChatGPT and GPT-4 is that they weren't just trained on huge quantities of unlabelled human text, they were also specifically trained to be "aligned" to desirable properties like truth-telling.

Or, the audience voting is highly partisan and people who love/hate either DC or Marvel turn out in great numbers to either inflate the scores of bad movies that they approve of, or to review-bomb arguably better movies that they disapprove of. In case of Captain Marvel, not so much because of their feelings towards the MCU.
