Not His Sled: Difference between revisions

 

== Comicbooks ==

** The most straight example of this is in the mini-series ''[[Powerless]]'', which re-imagines, among others, Peter Parker becoming a cripple due to the spider-bite, rather than getting superpowers. When [[Norman Osborn]] kidnaps Gwen Stacy, they both fall off a balcony, {{spoiler|but Peter manages to catch Gwen Stacy, saving her}}.

** In [[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Spider-Man: TAS]], the writers didn't want to include a character explicitly so they could die, and so Gwen Stacy was only present in the show as part of an [[Alternate Universe]].

* The ending of ''[[Afro Samurai]]'' was changed greatly from the anime. Might have just been [[Rule of Fun]], though. [[Imaginary Friend|Ninja Ninja]] even says that just because [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|you watched the TV show doesn't mean you know what's going to happen here]].

** To be fair it's more in tune with the Manga Ending which came before the anime after all {{spoiler|But The only reason you fight Justice is to avoid The Anticlimax ending that the manga had.}}

* How ''[[Silent Hill 1]]'' ends (or perhaps more accurately, which of the [[Multiple Endings]] is canon) is made pretty clear by its direct sequel, ''[[Silent Hill 3]]'': Harry {{spoiler|survives the crash (and all the subsequent weirdness) and succeeds in getting Cheryl back (more or less)}}. The remake, ''[[Silent Hill: Shattered Memories]]'', plays on the players' (assumed) knowledge of this by having the big twist be {{spoiler|that Harry died in the car crash after all and the whole game [[All Just a Dream|has taken place in the grown-up Cheryl's mind]].}}

* In yet another [[Agatha Christie]] example, the video game adaptation of ''[[And Then There Were None]]'' begins to diverge radically from the book at {{spoiler|Emily Brent's death by ''actual'' bee sting, as opposed to lethal injection}}. When {{spoiler|Wargrave turns up most unambiguously dead}}, all hope for the original book's ending is lost. {{spoiler|The real killer turns out to have been Emily Brent all along, a.k.a. Gabrielle Steele, an actress who took her method acting too far [[Voodoo Shark|and was possessed by Madame Borgia while playing the role in a movie]];}} the events on Shipwreck Island are all {{spoiler|her plan for revenge ''against'' Wargrave, the man who sentenced her lover Edward Seton to the gallows.}} Thankfully, finishing the game gives you a chance to see the original book's epilogue, {{spoiler|which reveals Wargrave as the murderer and explains his methods and motivations in a much more satisfying fashion.}}
