Adaptational Jerkass: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

* In [[Death Note (2006 film)|the 2006 ''Death Note'' live-action film]], while Light has always been a murderous [[Villain Protagonist]], the Japanese live-action film series makes him even ''worse''. He [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|becomes more evil]] even faster than either the anime or manga, to the extent he's perfectly willing to personally kill his own father to prevent the anti-Death Note team from being organized.

* The [[Harry Potter (film)|''Harry Potter'' films]] have a few instances:

** In the ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' book, Hermione kept trying to make peace between Crookshanks and Scabbers, but her justifications that Crookshanks is a cat giving into instinct kept falling short as Ron aptly noticed that the cat is gunning for his rat. While she keeps going [[Never My Fault]] after it seems that Crookshanks has eaten Scabbers, she eventually apologizes to Ron when he helps her with Hagrid's trial notes. Hermione keeps saying in the film that "Ronald has lost his rat" and doesn't even consider the possibility that Crookshanks has eaten Scabbers. (She's right, but that's not the point.)

** The [[Memetic Mutation|oft-mocked]] scene from ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' film where Dumbledore, instead of "calmly" asking Harry if he had placed his name into the Goblet as in the book, immediately starts yelling and interrogating him. While the intention was ''probably'' to portray the normally cool-headed and unflappable [[Chessmaster]] as [[OOC Is Serious Business|genuinely startled by an act of sabotage that shouldn't have been possible]], the execution led to an infamously [[Narm|Narmy]] moment that's at odds with not only his portrayal in the books, but even with his portrayal in the rest of the movies!

* The ''[[Chocolat (literature)|Chocolat]]'' novel has Armande Voizon greeting Vianne and Anouk in the streets when seeing them perform a ritual with a black cat. She is a cranky old lady, but she's also nice to those she likes. In [[Chocolat (film)|the movie]], given they come to her while she's napping and ask to rent out her shop, she's a bit crankier and needs time to open up to them.

* During the ''[[In the Heights]]'' film, the argument that Benny and Nina had after the blackout is given to Usnavi and Vanessa instead, owing to the fact that Benny doesn't blame her for {{spoiler|her father selling the business as he does in the stage musical}}, telling Nina to stay with the group while he goes help at the dispatch. As a result, however, it makes Usnavi out to be more of a jerk rather than accidentally ghosting Vanessa and worrying her out of nerves.
