Making remakes of popular properties can be difficult. What most fans want is a repeat of the original, only better. They often want bad things from the original fixed, but they often want the remake to fit close to the original. But many producers or directors want to put their own stamp on things. Maybe they don’t like the source material, or they want to subvert expectations by massively changing characters or stories in ways they consider fresh and brave. This is rarely popular with fans of the original work. Though this can garner new fans who never liked the original at all. And when fans of the original complain that the remake isn’t true to the source, the new fans publicly ridicule the old fans as “not real fans,” or as “toxic fans.” These bad feelings negatively impact the remake’s popularity and profitability, which is not good at all for anybody.
