You have touched upon something which I've been meaning to write about but haven't had the time, which is the concept that transit across media is transformative.
A piece of writing adapted for performance is transformed. A piece of art about a written character is a transformation. Moving across the media boundaries changes things, and sometimes that change creates conditions conducive to non-canonical variations that are not damaging to the canon.
At some point, I'd like to think more about the topic. Later. Maybe you can riff on it! :)
