First rule of capeshit is that heroes (and villains) never die, and even if they do, someone will take their capes*, so there's infinite material for sequels.
*This of course sounds worse once you get older than 13 and understand it's because character development is expensive and not always successful, though 90% of DC universe and 80% of Marvel seems to make the latter point entirely moot.
I don't think Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter fans are really "edgy grimdark" fandoms, if anything they're the opposite.
I think you're lumping in Rick and Morty fans in with everyone else, in my experience they tend not to care for Marvel or Potter much, and only care for the OG Star Treks.
You know WAY more about these fandoms than I do, more than most FANS I know do. Your anti-fandom seems to have more fervor than most of the fandom has.
I read HPMoR back in the day, I don’t remember any grimdark shit, but he was still writing it when I stopped reading so I’m not surprised to hear it went that direction.
It was so weird to hear the author of HPMoR come up in a recent TrueAnon episode, but not at all surprising to learn that he’s an ai grifter these days.

Well iirc she did talked few times she would like to be treated like a princess?

That wouldn't be princess treatment though, that would be comrade treatment.

I swear in the US that we never culturally left the 90’s.
Hell, the modern CHUD seems to pride themselves in essentially being the embodiment of dumb 90’s ‘tude.
