What they need to do is find writers who care about accurately continuing a hero’s story rather than trying to be an important contributor to a backstory that was perfectly fine without your “better idea”. The writers don’t have to be fans necessarily, and being fans might push them towards “pet characters syndrome”, though a fan who isn’t considering one character too precious to harm–while also not thrilled about torturing fictional characters and draining everything fans like about them because they want to be Watchmen–might be a really good choice. They need to be fans of the story, not the brand or the money they think comes with it just by existing. Understand why the brand has a fanbase and continue doing that. Save your own stories for your own IP.
They also need editors who want to push the medium instead of allowing themselves to be the ostracized in the pecking order and prove what comics can do that no other form of media can, a publisher and distributor who can get comics where people can find them, and a company willing to promote them not just as “where this movie came from” when they’re not going to properly adapt the comic anyway because their media is superior to those “silly comics”. To be fair, not being woke is a decent goal, considering it leads to bad writing and insulting the people you claim to be pushing for, but that’s just a symptom of a larger problem.

It’s clear they don’t want to fix comics, music, movies, etc. They want the opposite.

I don’t know about the opposite. They just want everything to be about them and their tastes, the old “everything for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” crowd I talk about.
