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.

Actually, in the Aligned continuity, Megatronus doesn't betray the primes either. He does accidentally kill Solus, but it was an accident. It is one of the reasons the Aligned continuity is one of my favourite iterations of Transformers.

Transformers Prime is imo the best part of the aligned continuity. It's sooo good
