When you're used to seeing characters portrayed a certain way, changing them radically can just be too much.

That wasn't it. They weren't blue, originally. That was a decision made during production; it was felt that the Gamilas looked too human, and that the audience might have a hard time differentiating the Earthers and the Gamilas, so it was determined that they needed a more distinctive look. So, they became blue.
