That’s sort of the nature of these things. When you make a character fit into a certain role and have them act in a certain way no matter how cartoonish you make them you will have people rooting for them. Since with characters it’s only partially about them and more of what they represent. And trying to take the piss out of something like chivalric knights fails since people know that it’s a fantasy. They know that real knights weren’t actually like that. But to have a figure embody a sort of virtue and represent things like honor, justice, love, and hope is nice and makes people feel good.
