Not when they include lots of silly, ill-fitting changes, no there
shouldn't be. The person who created it did so in a certain way,
particular style, etc. Nobody else has the moral right (whether or not
their own it) to then come in and drastically change it to something that
is in reality very different ... the entire reason that "reboots" are
idiotically stupid.
You may as well say that because I own the Mona Lisa I can scribble a
moustache on it, or because I own the Statue of Liberty I can knock it
down - legally I could, but anyone with a sense of morality wouldn't and
even if someone tried they'd get persecuted by the press and general
public.
To be successful and coherent, a franchise needs to be consisitent -
everything has to fit together ... that's what makes it a "franchise", not
just the name and basic core idea.
If these over-egoed new fools think they're so great, then why don't they
actually create their own franchise rather than butchering and destroying
someone else's work?
