I also assuming that there are countless talented people who love the source material, and better to give them a chance than giving it to someone who just makes content.

I am not going with “hire fans” bullshit, just that there are so many actual directors in the industry who already have a passion for it, so it is just a marketing choice to hire someone for the name.

Art is art, not content, when it is turned to content we get slop like those movies.
