Demoted to Extra: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Kim Pine]] is a background [[Deadpan Snarker]] instead of Scott's best friend. Her [[Betty and Veronica|Betty duties]] are reassigned to [[Stalker with a Crush|Knives]].

* Hakan and the alcoholics in ''[[Let the Right One In]]'' have significantly reduced roles in the film adaptation. They are removed entirely from the American version.

** By the third, it's easier to name who isn't a case of this, due to the growth of the [[Executive Meddling|writers' obsession]] with [[Wolverine]] as the franchise went on. In all fairness, they were just following [[Canon Sue|the comic's example]].

** It also doesn't help that they had to [[Ascended Extra|focus on]] background X-Men from the previous movies while introducing new ones. This resulted in Cyclops, Rogue, and Prof X being removed from the climax altogether. And considering Jean was on Magneto's side at the time, the ending battle only had three classic movie X-Men (one of which had been a bit of a sidekick up until then).

* Elizabeth March aka Beth, the [[Ill Girl]] and [[Dead Little Sister]], in [[The Film of the Book]] ''[[Little Women]]'', played by Claire Danes.

* ''[[Finding Nemo]]'': Remember that pelican Gerald that {{spoiler|swallows Marlin and Dory}}? Initially in production he and Nigel were originally going to be [[Those Two Guys]], Nigel being the neat freak of the two, Gerald being scruffy and sloppy. In the finished film, Gerald's final screen time is less than a minute.
