Many people love the main cast of the MCU, Supernatural and other long series that have the same main characters around for years, if not decades.
Some people will dislike the main cast, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for nothing but "I just don't, okay?" which is also fine because different strokes for different people but saying that people just generally hate the main cast is a poor attempt at deflecting thoughtful and reasonable critique of the main cast.
I was actually enjoying and agreed with this post until your very last sentence starting from that but; because I never made any effort or attempt to deflect the criticism. I didn't even say the criticism was unreasonable. That is a twist off what I said. What I was implying is that there will always be people that dislike a main cast of characters and that no individual story driven plot will please everyone with it's characters.
