There's no way to make everyone happy here.
There never is: it seems that very many decisions that result in the worst outcome are made when trying to appease everyone.
Yep. It reminds me of a film director making a superhero (DC) or sci-fi franchise (Star Wars) movie these days. Whatever type of approach is taken to the character or the mythos there's a contingent of very vocal fans that will feel aggrieved by that choice. Efforts by studios to step in and overhaul a film based on their projections about what will be most popular typically don't have good results, with the possible exception of Star Wars: Rogue One. But that's an outlier.
