I understand exactly what you mean! The emotional investment is different with canon! With fanfic, you can just click away, know that other people are enjoying it, then go and read something else. With new canon, there is no something else. I try to think "Well, someone must be enjoying this!" but it just makes me cranky. You can't even tell yourself it's OOC because this is the definition of C. The only answer is to stop reading (and, on the art side of things, I had to stop reading X-Men for the first time in decades because the Greg Land art was like this for me. I can get through some shitty art, but his is actually offensive to me.)
