I know it's a shame as if we were back in the 1990s/early 2000s, I wouldn't have to worry about it too much.
They asked for a Batman in high school in late 90s, we got Batman Beyond, same with Superman and we got Smallville. We got the 90s Spiderman and Xmen plus later Xmen Evolution which had the better Logan.as he was more a dad than in a love triangle with Jean.
The West for the past decade at least has very rarely separated ideology and politics from the media it makes so can't be trusted with ANY franchise. Probably why WB is outsourcing a lot of it's franchises.

One of the rare few times writers followed the letter of the instructions and yet still did their own thing. Terry ended up being far better than he could have been and Bruce made it out of that series better than most would nowadays. Sure some of the later tie-in to Justice League Unlimited may not be everyone's cup of tea, the topic of just who was the father of Terry for example, but it still fit with in universe explanations and despite that plot point Terry was still his own character despite what Waller had intended.
same with Superman and we got Smallville.
I regret to admit I watched all 10 seasons of that. Well, most of them. I was skipping bits near the end but if nothing else it lasted far, far too long for a show and other series just went off the deep end by going even further like with Supernatural lasting 15 years. 7 just worked for so many things, mostly Star Trek, and after that things just fall apart too often. Stargate highlights this and while I don't mind the Ori stuff it really does come completely out of nowhere then gets resolved in significantly less time despite the magnitudes of difference in raw power between parasitic snecks and living fire gods.

Agreed. Even with Claremont's extra panels in the original 1963 Uncanny X-Men comic that tried to flesh out Logan's obsession with Jean, pre-Rose and his actual history that didn't get written/published until House of M, the character was still always far too aggressive in that situation where Jean never showed interest in him, ever. When you bring up the points that he was born in the late 1800s and his literal rutiluphilia [redheads] that stemmed from his childhood friend/crush Rose that he later killed by accident, then every single interaction with Jean just ends up being shown in an even worse light.
