It's not about whether it will work or not.It's about giving creators room to work.It's about having different interpretations and persepectives.
There are people who just aren't fans of the traditional take.who would like a different superman.who would like to get into superman.Case it and point,the emergence of so many different superman type characters not just in america but through out the world.
"A friend. That's what people really need most, they don't need a strong arm or a
vigilante force."
This is a great take. But,i would like this.
superman as a vigilante force
Also,
giving people the option to choose what they like would be crucial.Things like cw shows,lois and clark,donner..etc that the superman fanbase unanimously love have a limited range,when talking genre.They are all dramas with focus on romance,family,teen,office..etc.It kind is hard for creators to do their thing when they have to always stick to a "traditional" take.And from the general fan perspective,they would miss out on many things.Just because you or me don't like snyder.Doesn't mean there isn't a fanbase for those films.There isn't a fanbase for invincible...The evil superman as a troupe exists because superman ip itself doesn't produce variety in content which spiderman and even batman ips does or is capable of.Writers increasingly choose to do different takes or characters with superman as archetype.Not do different takes with superman himself.I view that as an other problem with the handling of the ip.
