Your ignorance of the source material saves you from this annoyance, and somehow makes you better than those with knowledge of what they're watching. Ok.
Best way I could put this is like this.
Director makes a film that includes Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is unlike anything the director has ever seen, and prefers a more "grounded" approach, so artistic liberties are taken because he doesn't want a superhero in his football movie.
So Patrick Mahomes wears the wrong number, plays for the Raiders, and has yet to win a championship because his skillset is that of Matt Cassel in the movie.
As a Chiefs fan, you're outraged. This is NOT Patrick Mahomes! WTF! How the **** did you come up with this pile of shit!?
Clueless asshole in back row: SHUT UP NERD, THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING!

I'll give you this, you're trying to make your point. You're just not doing it very well.
And instead of your fantasies, I'll give you a real life example, based on source materal as well as reality: Moneyball
Great book that got turned into the Brad Pitt film based on the book and the Oakland A's 2002 season. Nary a mention about how good the A's were heading into the season with their incredible pitching staff, Miguel Tejada, Eric Chavez and others... Nope, just all about losing Damon and Giambi and how the team was broke and there's no way they could ever compete again. All hogwash. Does it make it a bad film? Nope. It's a great film, even if it does shift reality and twists the book's meaning around.
If you think "Rises" is a bad film because it doesn't do Bane justice to the comic, you're an imbecile.
And these are all fictional characters, by the way... I think it's actually more egregious in the Moneyball instance of shifting reality to make it a more "Hollywood" underdog story.
Are you so firmly in the "IT'S REAL TO ME DAMMIT!" pathology that you can't even see the forest through the trees anymore? They're fictional characters in fictional worlds. Anybody can do whatever the hell they want with them. If you don't like it their changes THAT is not what makes it "bad". You just don't like it. Seriously bro, grow some pubes and maybe go take a walk outside. I think it might do you some good.
