All it going public domain did is expose just how uncreative most people are.

Basically all we've seen is "that kid thing but spoooooky" garbage like this.

What are people realistically going to do with Winnie the Pooh? If they try and make something for children, Disney will sue them anyway. What else does that leave besides ironic adaptation where he's scary, edgy, violent, sexy(?), or whatever else a kid's property becomes when you reimagine it as a property for teens or adults.

It's not the kind of IP that drives the imagination. If I were to put together a team of anthropomorphic animal superheroes, I would never think to make it a team consisting of a rabbit, a piglet, and a yellow bear in a red suit. I couldn't imagine doing some twisted Tim Burton-esque take on the Hundred Acre Woods either. People are just kinda stuck with edgy ironic takes on the character.
