Wait until you go back to watch the original cartoon and find it's just a competent kids show for two seasons and one season of rushed nothing.
Maybe the reason these adaptations keep not working is because the source material isn't actually the magnum opus the people who watched it when they were 10 years old think it is.
Maybe it's just cursed, but the conversation around this show feels a lot like Star Wars that way.
It's funny you think that. I did watch the animated show when I was much younger and gave it a rewatch recently. I'm in my early 30s and as far as animated TV shows go it's still one of my favorites
