I have no problem with other writers taking over characters & writing duties, it's just that sometimes that doesn't work out.

You just need to find somebody who is a fan of the original and understands the characters and respects both.

Agree 100% My best example of that is Sanderson aking over the Wheel of Time after Jordan's passing. It was not perfect, especially in the earlier parts, but he respected the characters, understood them and genuinely wanted to complete Jordan's story and it shows.

Sadly Millennium 4 did not get this same treatment.

Problem is there's too much of that today, people taking over franchises that have no respect for it.
