I disagree, it's a deliberate fuck up.
The people who make this stuff know what people actually want but refuse to give it them and outright hate the original fan-base; go look at the twitters of writers for the big two (marvel and DC), they openly talk about how much they hate the original fanbase and characters. They brought back the 90's show because they knew people have fond memories of it and wanted to prey on that while pushing their agenda and spitting in the face of the original fan-base.
Take the latest Spider-man games, they're marketed as if Peter is the main draw but that's just a lie to get fans interested. In reality the writers hate Peter for being a straight White male and want to humiliate him and replace him with Miles, keeping Peter around only to shit on him as a fuck you to the fans. Same thing is happening in the shows, comics and games, all across Marvel and DC, it's VERY deliberate.
