Because, as I said, Big Hero 6 has zero in the way of an in-built audience. The team as a whole doesn't really work outside the Marvel Universe context.

It's the exact same problem the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." show has: S.H.I.E.L.D. only works by reacting to the larger Marvel Universe. You can't really tell good S.H.I.E.L.D. stories without using Marvel elements. NOBODY wanted to see S.H.I.E.L.D. fight "Centipede", they want to see them fight Madame Hydra, Baron Zemo, the Absorbing Man, the Enchantress, the Kingpin or Fing Fang Foom.

It's the same thing here: if you take out the Marvel elements, all you have left is the concept. But then you change the concept by changing the entire nature of their characters. That leaves you with NOTHING. If you are not gonna use Marvel characters, at least let Honey Lemon keepo her magic handbag and let Gogo Tomago be a former Yakuza. And let's be fair: Disney's "image" is that of being sugary-sweet and kiddy, so they really benefit from making Gogo Tomago a Yakuza
