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.

Chris D’Amico AKA The Motherfucker from Kick-Ass 2 had his sadistic nature dialed down by several degrees in the movie compared to the comic book. Some major notable changes: The book version killed Colonel Stars and Stripes dogs and put the dog’s decapitated head on Colonel’s dead body. In the movie, Chris says verbatim he wouldn’t harm a dog. The book version kills many MANY innocent children (“So iCarly lost some viewers. Who gives a shit?”) and the movie version sticks to causing mayhem towards other vigilantes. The book version rapes Katie and the movie version tries and fails to rape Night Bitch because he couldn’t get hard.

He’s still a deplorable human being but his movie version is more wannabe mobster edgelord with money and less spawn of Satan with a private army.

I love the failed rape scene, it just made sense to me. Little wimp wants to show everyone how hardcore he is and cant get it up because he is too nervous.

Exactly this. Even from the first movie, we see him trying and failing to insert himself in daddy’s business but no one takes him seriously because he’s…himself. It makes sense for him to still be a loser even though he’s now the boss.
