Adaptational Villainy: Difference between revisions

Line 92:

* ''[[October Sky]]'' turns Homer's father into a [[Jerkass]], presumably because there wouldn't really be a villain otherwise. In the book it was based on, his father is much nicer and more supportive of his rocketry work.

* Inverted in ''[[Resident Evil: Apocalypse|Resident Evil Apocalypse]]'', where Nicholai Ginovaef, the human antagonist in ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis]]'', became a good guy.

* In ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 3]]'', the main villain is {{spoiler|Aldrich Killian, a minor comics character who sold extremis to criminals, felt bad about it, and shot himself in the head. [[He's Dead Jim|The end]]}}.

*In Marvel comics, Psylock, Spike, Multiple Man, and Quill are all allies of the X-Men. In [[X-Men: The Last Stand]] ''all of them'' are members of Magneto's Brotherhood.

Line 157:

Line 159:

** Ammit, on the other hand, is portrayed as a pet of the [[Big Bad]]. In Egyptian mythology she was a neutral enforcer of order and punisher of evil, although this quality made her feared by the ancient Egyptians.

* The ''[[Street Fighter (animation)|Street Fighter]]'' animated series made Zangief into one of M. Bison's lackeys, despite the fact that Zangief actually opposed Shadaloo in the games.

*In the show ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men]]'', Magneto's children, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Polaris (who were all somewhat quick to abandon him in the comics) are supporters of his, each of whom have attacked X-Men (if we're counting the time Polaris attacked Professor X).

**At the end of the show, Scarlet Witch and Polaris turn against him, but Quicksilver stays on his side. Which is strange, considering how he got along ''worst'' with Magneto out of all of them.

**Oh, and Gambit, you know, the X-Man? He's a member of the Thieves' Guild who only cares about the money, to the point where he'll steal a weapon for the MRD, who he knows will use it against mutants, '''his own kind''', for money. Man, what a [[Jerkass]]

**Oh, yeah. Another good guy, Multiple Man, works for Sinister.
