It's not shallow it's a you're going into a Batman movie or gonna read a Batman comic then you get Superman. That weighted more than anything else.

It's called a "surprise". Why would Kojima want to spoil something huge like that before the game's release or at any other point throughout playing the game in the beginning? Your Batman example doesn't exactly work because we actually get to play as Solid Snake in MGS2 during the tanker portion. Again, it was a radical change Kojima wanted to experiment with, but the fans (particularly the westerners) just didn't like that (hence my previous point about change).
To reiterate, I disagree the character change was a mess up. I'm glad Kojima had the balls to try something different.
