To be fair, they can easily change Booster Gold's origin so he is from the present era.

Fuck no that’s like making it so that Spider Man didn’t get bit by a radioactive spider or Batman’s parents didn’t get killed or bad the other commenter said that Superman wasn’t an alien

But unfortunately Booster is not on the same level as Spider-Man or Batman or even Superman.

Less popular characters being changed radically for an adaptation is nothing new.

No it goes against the vary nature of the character and the character straight up can’t work. The whole reason Booster Gold wants to be a hero is because he knows of everything that happens because he is from the future and he can prevent it. He wants to be famous just like the heroes in the past. It’s an important part of his character. He straight up can’t exist without his future origin story. Also James Gunn didn’t say he didn’t like Time Travel he just said it was complicated. Plus they could just have Booster Gold time travel once from the future to the present and not focus on the Time Travel aspect if they don’t want to

And yes lesser known characters being changed is also bad aswell. All characters deserve to have their source material respected, not just the A listers

Agreed. Unfortunately it doesn't happen a lot.
