I mean, that narration is not joking around.

The big issue with something like CSHT is that they make a main story that's somehow not related to a big hero crossover, in spite of the story being specifically created for a big crossover movie. CSHT's plot was essentially about a sick kid who wanted to escape from the real world, and due to his powers destroy it, and the heroes trying to convince him to give another chance to real life. That's all basically Ex-Aid related though. The Ex-Aid solo movie essentially used the same premise too even.

However, because they know what people want is actually the heroes, they then throw a bunch of stuff that has barely anything to do with the premise just to feature heroes in the movie, like the tournament or the game Shocker army. However, because they aren't tied to the main story, they all become basically just meaningless fighting scenes (which weren't even good in this case due to the director) since they have nothing to do with the movie's core story and seem to exist just to be marketing material in many cases (the short cameos that are pretty much entirely shown in the trailers). It ends up not pleasing anyone, since it does no favor to the past heroes due to treating them as interchangeable fighters or the movie itself due to being barely relevant to the main plot.
