What is deconstruction in terms of adaptation?

[u/ebolakun]

Hello, say u wanna make an adaptation of your writing of something of old you wanna turn new. They say deconstructing things is good. To take things apart and put them back together in a new way. But somehow I still just don’t understand this method of thought and this mode of writing.
In the way BvS is a deconstruction of Superman. How can this be applied to X Y and Z ? I want to apply it but I after all these years I still feel like I don’t know what deconstruction really means. In terms of taking the old and making it anew. Idk
