Having a conversation with a casual made me realize the big problem with not reading comics: they judge the image of the character and are much more set on popular iconography/ tradition of the character than a reader. At least, a person really exposed to the different incarnations of a character can have a really flexible definition of the hero, but still appreciate the essence of the character. To a casual, they believe the essence is the character.

It's the people that love DCAU Batman, The Avengers from the MCU, Think of Superman as a relic, etc. It's probably what's most likely to get the "not muh" reactions (Conroy is not the best batman just because you heard his voice a lot when you were a kid). We all have our preferences, but only a casual is really going to get worked up about how much different something is.

I think a good example is actually the recent fantastic four. Shitty movie, but I'd actually say that was an interesting Doom. Not the best Doom, and not 616 accurate for sure, but they captured super-competent asshole well. Doom was scary, and probably the best part of the movie despite being in the worst last ten minutes a movie could ever have.
