The characters are heavily influenced by their setting and often don't make sense when removed from it

some people think the characters would be exactly the same with the same personality quirks, motivations, likes/dislikes, etc when removed from their fantastical setting but...that's just not true. it's pretty rare that a character could develop similar traits when not influenced by what is/isn't normal in their "world" or what happened to make them what they are.

If you took my favorite character out of his canon setting he would not be even remotely the same person. His entire personality and motivations were shaped by what he experienced in his canon.

the characters are heavily influenced by their settings so removing them from it allows people to explore different facets of them through thoughtful extrapolation

Write whatever you want, but the argument that an individual has certain inherent traits that will make them recognizably the same no matter what circumstances or setting they are raised in is super creepy. Write whatever you want, and fuck whoever says your writing has to pass some kind of sociopsychology test, but maybe stop using the exact same arguments that eugenicists use to support their beliefs that some races are inherently superior to others to support your belief that Castiel would be the exact same person if he was a 20 year old barista in modern-day Vancouver in a world where the supernatural never existed.

This.
Even what "What ifs" in the same universe use exactly the same logic, so I don't see why people don't get it?

That being said, if the characters are so heavy influenced by the setting(o the plot) that they're completely shaped by the setting/plot, they probably are very flat characters with little agency, so I get not caring about those characters in another setting.

(As in: there's a difference between character is [insert adjectives] and that's why they [insert decision that had consequences they deal with in a way other characters won't because they [insert more adjectives and reasons]], and this thing happened and forced character to do this, so we didn't get to really see who they're and why they acted like they did other than "because the plot needed it" and the author clearly cared for the setting and/or the plot and not about the characters)
