"I can't believe that creator didn't tell their own story exactly how I expected and wanted them to."
God, what a boring way to engage with art. Artists don't make great art trying to make the audience happy. The best art is fundamentally a bit selfish; trying to make the best possible version of what THEY want to see.
When audiences demand their whims and wants be catered to they're not asking for art, they're demanding a product. You don't have to like what an artist does with their own story, but if you don't take it on its own terms that's your problem.
That's the deal. You don't like it? Great! Harness that energy and go make a story that goes the way you want it to. And then you can make something for you, too.
