A great deal of people will always be disappointed about a great deal of things.
I don't believe that should be the deciding factor as to whether or not the artistic integrity of a work of fiction is sacrificed or not.
I am sure that we could find examples of where a lot of people would be disappointed if a book wasn't written a certain way that strayed away from how it was currently being written whilst others would only be slightly disappointed if it was.
Like in Game of Thrones there's probably countless of examples of this, it doesn't mean that George R.R Martin should listen and retcon his books or change what he was intending to write just to satiate what some people want.

Don't get too emotional about this please, lol.
I sense that people are already getting heated up...
I just don't like the principle here that lore should be ignored and that we should retcon things for the satisfaction of some people.
I feel as if that's disrespectful to the work and really diminishes the integrity of it, it makes it feel less real and like a bunch of children just bumping toys into each other coming up with new super powers and rewriting the rules over and over again.
Preferably things should stay as consistent as possible imo.

And just because it happened once before I don't think necessarily justifies doing it again.
