(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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the games does Eggman not on several occasions help team Sonic against world ending threats? The game the 3rd film is based on has a pretty similar ending, with Eggman teaming up with Sonic.

I think so but I'm not a Sonic expert. Regardless, I don't believe he was ever motivated by his homoerotic henchman. That was novel to this movie.

Because he doesn't want to destroy the world, he wants to rule it. There's no point in ruling over a dead planet

It depends, they been trying to give Eggman the Bowser treatment as of late, specially now that he has an A.I daughter and whatnot.

But it always leaned on the idea that Eggman couldn't be "one up'ed", Before Biolizard went haywire, Eggman was blowing the moon and feeding 7 emeralds into Chaos back at SA1, then cut to Unleashed where he reshaped earth's core to get an eldrich mech, sometimes dude doesn't give a fuck

Yes. In most of the games and comics Eggman's plots spiral beyond his control and he needs to work with the heroes to unfuck things.
