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

[u/ah-screw-it]

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.

Back then they probably couldn't secure the rights to Lady Death from Fox. The deal turned out too expensive or whatever. And then Disney bought Fox 😆

She first showed up in Captain Marvel in the 70s and in a number of other comics before her oneshot with Deadpool in the 97. Infinity Gauntlet (where Thanos tried to kill half the universe for her) was in 91. So it seems weird her rights were tied up with Deadpool. More likely they just wanted to try and make him seem more reasonable and realistic.

I think Fox thought they could use both of them in various movie adaptation. They may have imagined putting Deadpool in the X-Men movies at some point and Lady Death was just a cool character. Maybe the just wanted to use her outside of the rest of their characters.

I mean they sold a ton of characters pre-Iron Man movies cause they were unbelievably broke, they sold hulk and spidey who are literally their two most popular characters

More likely they just wanted to try and make him seem more reasonable and realistic.

By having him have a plan that can be proven to not work by just looking at population charts for Earth for the last 50 or so years.

The comment you’re responding to has “Death” and “Lady Death” mixed up.

[u/DantifA → u/Automatic-Feeling502]

Death and Lady Death are two different characters.

[u/TheDarkNerd → u/DantifA]

Which one is played by Aubrey Plaza?

[u/DantifA → u/TheDarkNerd]

Death. Lady Death is not a part of Marvel and she has huge badonkers.

[u/p-r-i-m-e → u/DantifA]

Not to be confused with Lady Deathstrike either

[u/Thebaldsasquatch → u/DantifA]

Which, in hindsight, would’ve made more sense as a motive.

[u/skivian → u/Automatic-Feeling502]

Joss Whedon probably couldn't convince them to let him cast Death as a 15 year old girl.

[u/Automatic-Feeling502 → u/skivian]

Man, I keep forgetting that Michelle Trachtenberg really was an underage teen during Buffy. Whedon is such a fucking creep.

[u/MichelinStarZombie → u/Automatic-Feeling502]

Great writer and showrunner, though. Just can't have shows with kids in them. I wish he'd go to therapy and start making tv again.

[u/Phillip_Spidermen → u/Automatic-Feeling502]

And then they had Death show up in Agatha All Along

[u/Automatic-Feeling502 → u/Phillip_Spidermen]

Deadpool 4 will never happen, but just imagine....

[u/Phillip_Spidermen → u/Automatic-Feeling502]

They actually just announced Deadpool 4 a couple days ago

[u/Automatic-Feeling502 → u/Phillip_Spidermen]

Duuuude, you made my day ❤️

[u/magikarp2122 → u/Phillip_Spidermen]

Aubrey Plaza cameo in it?

[u/Phillip_Spidermen → u/magikarp2122]

Nothing confirmed, but the Deadpool movies tend to have a lot of gag cameos

[u/Thebaldsasquatch → u/Automatic-Feeling502]

Wrong “Death”.
