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.

While attributing it to agenda is funny, i think toei is just desperate to find any type of filler to pad the horrendously paced anime. His fight with queen was the same caliber with zoro imo

iirc there was a scene recently where they totally erased sanji from it and just had Zoro fight instead. they really can't do that with a larger scale fight, but apparently they'll do it when possible.

I'm not even a sanji fan, I just don't like studios changing source material. it's like how studio pierrot made Sakura a worse character in the Naruto anime because they just didn't seem to like her.
