Superhero MBTI change?

[great_bay]

Does anybody think it's strange that the MBTI for superhero changes when they get adapted into a new medium? For instance, Starfire in the comics is ESFP but in the cartoon show she became ESFJ. Not only did her MBTI change but so did her personality and has nothing in common except for the name. Spider-Man is INTP in the comics but in the first movie, he became INFP and in the movie reboot, he acted like ISTP.

The Joker in the comics is ENTP but in one cartoon movies called Under the Red Hood he became ENTJ.

What do you guys think of this?

Different writers, different interpretations. Not weird at all.

Yup. It's; not even confined to medium changes, it happens over the course of a comic book series if the series lasts many years. Hopefully it's not a HUGE 180-degree shift, but there can be character drift and new interpretations of the same character.
