Adaptation Dye Job: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

** Chibiusa's school friend Momoko is an inter-continuity example. The manga illustrations tend to show her with pinkish or purple hair, similar to Ikuko's. In her early anime appearances during the second and third seasons, her hair was brown. In the fourth season it became purple with no explanation, and still wasn't the same shade as in the manga.

** PGSM also changed the hair color of most of the Dark Generals: Kunzite went from white to black, Nephrite from brown to red, Zoisite from blond to white. Jadeite is literally the only one who retained the same look.

* In ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~|Ranma 1/2]]'', female Ranma has red hair in the anime, but there once was an enormous [[Internet Backdraft]] over whether or not this applied to the mostly black-and-white manga. Fanciful multicolored-covers and art work aside, fans in favor of the idea rationalized that since curses copy their original victims, it was reasonable that Ranma's curse had just involved a redhead<ref>which is disproved by the fact that Herb changes into a girl but has the same hair</ref>. Fans against the idea rationalized it occurred for the same reason other Takahashi characters got palette changes: to simply to make both versions of Ranma [[Cast Speciation|immediately distinguishable to the viewing audience]].

** Not to mention the other girls. Akane's hair was portrayed as merely black or brown in color art. Likewise, Shampoo and Ukyou's hair were both originally just a straight black on the covers. Though this eventually shifted with some cover artwork, all hair within the manga was portrayed as a straight black throughout.

*** In the first anime opening, Shampoo is shown with deep GREEN hair. When she actually appeared in the anime however, her hair was violet.

Line 192:

* [[Superman|Lana Lang and Lois Lane]] swap hair colors for ''[[Smallville]]''.

** Also, for the record, Kristin Kreuk is part-Asian. This is ignored on the show.

*** They got it right in ''[[Superman III]]'', with the actress playing Lana going on to play Martha Kent. [[Canon ~~Dis Continuity~~|Now, if only they'd gotten the non-cosmetic things right...]]

** Has there ever been a live action [[Superman|Jimmy Olsen]] with red hair? Ever?

* [[Batman]] usually has a lighter shade of hair when he's played by a real actor.

Line 300:

* In ''[[The Worst Witch]]'', Enid Nightshade went from being blonde in the books to having brown hair in the tv series. In the earlier television movie, Mildred (black hair) and Maud (blonde) both turned brunette.

* In ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]'' books, Elena was blonde. In the TV show, she is played by the dark-haired Nina Dobrev.

* Alba from ''[[The Time ~~Travelers~~ Wife]]'' is specifically and repeatedly described as having curly black hair. That's important because she is supposed to take after her father physically. Nevertheless, her movie version has straight blonde-ish hair.

* The "perfect" May in ''The Age of Innocence'' is a blonde (as well as blue-eyed), while family reprobate Ellen is dark-haired. But when the book was adapted for the screen, May was played by the brunette Winona Ryder, while Ellen was played by the blonde Michelle Pfeiffer.

* Averted with the casting of Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara--despite the numerous references to Scarlett's black hair, a number of blonde and redheaded actresses were considered for the role.
