My thoughts here are pretty much the same with most adaptations of comics... "why'd you even bother? If you didn't like the story in the first place, which apparently you didn't" Like you pointed out they took out elements that added heart and impact and emotional connection for the viewer.
You'd expect, and I could understand...changes to bring things closer to reasonable for the modern audience ...like having the Spider change Peter Parker's DNA instead of it just being radioactive. But more and more I see changes just for the sake of making changes.

It's cultural appropriation :-P
Just because you call it that name everyone loves and slap on a costume that looks about right, doesn't mean you can just change everything else about the characters and act like it's the same thing.
I guess in some way I'm jealous too, because it feels very important to me to infiltrate more media with voluntaryist/libertarian/anarchist fiction (even just promoting and adapting the works of already well-known folks like Heinlein, Banks, Le Guin, KS Robinson, etc). Unfortunately the intersectional-post-modernists seem to be doing far better at this than we are.
