It's the same kind of arrogance that causes some people to think they can be competent at any skill with just a cursory understanding compared to people who have spent years practicing. Add in the stigma that superheroes have, and you have the formula for the mindset a lot of artists have thinking they can improve long lasting characters.

Ironically it's not too far off from the mindset of British Invasion writers when handling superheroes. The only difference is those writers actually bothered to research the characters while throwing in elements from classic works. I suppose just doing it for fun can also add a level of detachment that can prevent handling the character in earnest when you don't have an obligation to care.
