As someone who really agrees with the previous poster, this may be the crucial point. I can "disbelieve" the stuff that I think is stupid cashgrab sequel crap, specially if it was not made by the original author.
Because think about it, if someone somewhere made a bad fanfic, would it ruin the previous media? Obviously not, right? So why is it different when it's a billion dollar media company that bought the right to slap the "official" name and logo on their fanfic*? If you don't like it, ignore it. If you like it, then great more media of the franchise you enjoy!
* Assuming the people writing it are fans and not 100% just there for the money.
I dont know if this comprehensively addresses my issues with the topic but its pretty damn close :) Like this is more an issue of revisionism than it is...I don't even know how to formally refer to the opposing argument and I would rather let everyone else chime in and speak for me here
