Yes, fans are allowed to have expectations and be disappointed when they are aren't met, and yes, sometimes producers somehow completely miss what fans want, even with ample evidence pointing to what they want (forums, fan campaigns, popularity of previous media, complaints about previous media, etc.). Yeah, sometimes someone has a 'vision', and it doesn't really matter to them what anyone else thinks (until they are done and want other people to appreciate that 'vision'). But I would say that many producers actually are, in fact, trying to make something that many fans like, whether they hit the mark or not.

And then there are the cases where they give the fans what they say they want, but the fans don't really respond (this can be legit, like when the execution is very poor, or it can be kind of spurious, like when the casting is ridiculed for shallow reasons). Or, on the other side, when someone seems to want to punish the fans for liking something other than what the producers wanted to them to like (by, say, killing off a fan favorite character rather than the creator favored main character that a lot of fans have come to dislike - just a general example, in no way referring to any specific instance).
