I'm willing to bet you that that study got started by a bunch of researchers making haters gonna hate jokes until one said "wait... are haters gonna hate?" And then shit got real.
In an interesting case of life resembling art, or vice versa, in Game Dev Tycoon you can easily make an absurd amount of money by making a mass market appeal FPS with yearly iteration.
Why does it feel like fan films are often better than licensed films when it comes to comics and video games?
Fans just know the characters in and out and have the detailed background and passion for the subject to make them true in the view of other fans. They also pick up key character elements from multiple story lines which make the characters insanely deeper than the Hollywood counterparts.
However with fan works, we tend to let certain things pass without judgement subconsciously as a trade off for something else we like. It can be music, sound effects, composition of scenes, acting or creative liberty that improves the base material (my main example for the latter since it usually is no the case, is Fight Club the movie).
Having said that I did like the Keith Urban representation of Judge Dredd, it was way better than the Stallone version.
There is now. I couldn't figure out what to use for the profile picture (Mr Period was too small, as was the Geeknights logo), so I just used the pic of Rym from RIT with the tiara and the mustache as a filler. Any suggestions would be awesome.

My second thought is then an image of a half-giant-robot, half-touhou, and I get sad that that's never going to exist.

There was a fan made LOTR film made by a woman in Wales I think that was made up of volunteers and rocked. Not sure what happened to it though.
