it's not the dark and grittiness that is and issue, it's any tone that becomes an issue when there is a lack of variety. if we only had the mcu films, people would eventually grow tired of the tone, if we only had dark and gritty films people would grow tired of that as well.
what you want is a proper equilibrium, but what normally happens is studios chase trends causing more of a pendulum effect.
and the main reason why the mcu has done well, is not because of their tone, it's because of their films in general, they fluctuate from decent to good. Nolan's trilogy wasn't cheerful, but it did extremely well.
simply put quality supersedes tone, but tone is quickly blamed if a film does poorly, which is well.........dumb. BvS's issue wasn't tone (some disagree) but it was flat out script issues.
