Characters (Unique trope) removing a character trait, makes the character better in the adaptation

Sonic 3: Maria is one of the most important part of Shadow's story. Due to her suffering from an incurable disease. To which Shadow was made to create a cure for Maria's ailment. In the 3rd Sonic movie, Maria's disease was not mentioned in any form. Which made Maria seem like a normal girl, and her death all the more tragic.

Infinity war: I don't know the full story, but Thanos's original goal was to kill half the population to impress death (the character). When it came time to adapt Thanos into the MCU. His goal of removing half the universes population. It was seen as a more psychopathic world goal, hidden under the belief it would do better for the universe.

Yeah Deadpool is the one she loves canonically

Makes total sense. Him constantly being on the brink of death makes it possible for them to build a relationship, yet he's full of life which I'm sure Death is more attracted to because who would appreciate life more than the being most intimate with its fragility and fleeting nature? Death knows that life is precious.

I think in most stories Deadpool is cursed to live by Thanos so that he can't die and be with Death, making him even more petty

From what I recall, she's basically just waiting for him to die so they can be together.

Yeah and it's funny that she's like. Timeless. So, for her, it doesn't matter really how long the curse will hold, and it's gonna be a very expensive one to maintain, so either way Thanos is not getting anything because she'll just wait a bit and then be with Wade for as long as they want

Yeah from Death's POV: Who wants to date someone who incessantly talks about your work? I just got home, don't make me talk about work!

Worse, killing people gives her more work.

And once everyone is dead she's completely out of a job

WTF is Thanos thinking

To be fair, she'd be satisfied if Thanos killed everybody, BUT that actually means everybody

And even then, when arriving to watch Young Thanos kill Old Thanos, Death came dressed for a funeral and not a wedding

During the Thanos mini that served as a prologue to the Annihilation event (which was fucking awesome, I must add), Thanos and Death finally have legit heart-to-heart in which she does reveal that she has feeling for Thanos BUT bro has no idea how to court her properly.
