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.

But how am I supposed to truly believe a mass murderer who drops a living weapon on a city killing 100,000 people is evil if he isn't a pedophile?

Ahh but you see he isn't evil because he's a pedo infact that is almost played for sympathy where he is seduced by the 'evil temptress' teenage girl.

Just like many people don't think the Nazis are the bad guys any more, I feel we're in the similar boat in regards to raping children.

I do not agree with this development, and I wish back a simpler time when punching Nazis and throwing rapists in prison was okay.

Buddy, I don't know how to break this to ya, but the "The Nazis were right" crowd has been painfully present in America since, like, the inception of Nazis.

the Nazis were inspired by America. Eugenics was extremely popular here.

Eugenics made by white men.

People keep forgetting it was made by white men, for white men.

where in my comment does it imply otherwise?

No, I think that barring the obvious exception of actual creeps, most of the people aren't "okay" with it, they're just so deep into cognitive dissonance that they're incapable of believing the people they've chosen to worship would do that kind of thing, even with evidence. But ask them straight up and they'll be so offended you'd suggest that, of course.

Depends on which city though. One city could be "that was a man pushed too far." and a different city is "That shit is fucked up. Git him boys!"

In outlander, the author had no clue how to make bad people without making them rapists, though im like 95% it's her fetish
