The people who pay to use the IP put up so much money that it has to be crowd sourced among a few rich people/orgs. The money doesn't care about the property, only the opportunity to leverage this into more money. They are paying for an opportunity.
With this opportunity they make a product that uses the nouns of the source material with varying levels of concern for the output. Not all money is the same and some care about the deliverable more than others. Compare Sony comic book movies to Disney and you can see what having a big comics nerd like Feige can do to keep it true to the material while keeping the content new.
Netflix didn't care about what fans consider truth. They wanted content for their catalogue. Most makers of media don't care about what they make as long as it's popular and any lawsuits don't drain the gains.
Yeah but those people are fucking morons with more money than sense. I don't think they will ever learn the lesson because they keep making the same dipshit fucking mistake over and over. It's starting to feel like it's deliberate how almost every single adaptation they do is trash that pisses off the established fans, like they don't want to do an adaptation so they fuck it up on purpose just to fuck the fans while they get the one mediocre cash grab, if they make money at all. If it was really about the money they would learn the lesson from the few really successful adaptations.
