When other mediums stray from the original source you can get some really good ideas. Hell, in some cases you see major changes that just make everything better. I don't like how fandoms immediately freak out and or worry when these changes are seen or announced. Whether I like them or not, you need to wait and see how they play out. Mystique in a leadership role in this movie could work out so well, that it becomes a thing in the source. It could also be a colossal failure and go over like a mein kampf reading at a bar mitzvah. Truthfully, I lean toward the latter but, we may get an explanation that makes it awesome or find out it is something as simple as Xavier mind controlling Mystique at this point in the movie.

Yes and no. There are plenty of examples where writers have tried to hollywood characters or change them due to budgetary restraints with disastrous results. I refer you to Deadpool in the Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Quicksilver in Avengers 2, and pretty much any comicbook movie made pre-2005 or so...
Re-imaginations are fine as long as the people doing so understand what makes the character great. You can change a characters history/details while preserving the spirit of the character.
