It's perfectly normal. Consumers are conditioned to be very sensitive to the precise threshold of "new but different" they feel comfortable with and though this has been the case for decades, in recent years entitlement has been nurtured and validated by the rise of social media consumer culture to the point of stunting basic basic open-mindedness to change.

A major factor/turning point was the Sonic the Hedgehog movie probably; since the consumer/creator power balance was thrown off permanently and consumers got power-drunk with their collective ability to influence creative choices regardless of their merit or lack of it.
