I think the point is not that superhero adaptations can never change anything. Changes are sometimes necessary when translating a comic into live action, but the core origin should be adapted as faithfully as possible because the origin is one of the foundations of a character’s identity. It explains who they are, where their powers come from, what motivates them, and why they became the hero people know. If an adaptation can faithfully preserve the origins of characters like Batman, Superman ( out side DCU ), Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor while still making changes for the medium, then it is reasonable for fans to ask why the same standard cannot be applied to characters like Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Many of the comic book fans criticizing these changes have also been reading, buying, and collecting these characters’ comics for years, sometimes even decades. They have spent a lot of money supporting these characters and built a long-term connection with the source material, so of course they are going to criticize an adaptation when they feel an important part of the character has been changed. That doesn't mean they demand a 100% panel-for-panel adaptation. They can accept little changes to source material so it can translate well in to adaptasion But What they are asking for is for the core of the character's origin and identity to remain faithful.
The changes made to some DC characters in live action have also made some Wonder Woman fans worried that James Gunn might change Wonder Woman’s origin from being born from clay to being the daughter of Zeus. There are also concerns that the Amazons could be portrayed similarly to the New 52 interpretation, where some versions of the mythology depicted the Amazons as being involved in sexual violence against men as a means of producing children
