Popular media + all star leading cast = extremely likely to be a failed adaptation. I’m sure there are a few exceptions, but an ensemble cast of a half dozen top actors is a sign that they cared more about names. This kind of movie with that kind of cast is just begging for studio interference to create a bland experience that tries to appeal to everyone.
I also genuinely do not understand the appeal. But I also don’t understand the appeal of reaction videos on YouTube or network cop dramas, and they are also profoundly popular with stupid people.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen was right there!
Because: (Popular media + all star leading cast)*(Fraction of budget and time given to the writing and pre/post production teams)
