Death by Adaptation: Difference between revisions

m (update links)
Line 104:
* [[Venom (Comic Book)|Venom]] in the ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' movies.
* Cyclops dies off screen [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|unglamourously]] in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand|X Men the Last Stand]]''. The characters who die by adaptation in the ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' films could probably fill a whole damn page. Lady Deathstrike, Psylocke, Kestrel, Agent Zero, and ([[No One Could Survive That|apparently]]) Toad are notable examples.
** Of course, being comics (and most especially Marvel comics), most of these characters have died at least once in the source material anyhow.
* [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] (all 7 of him...[[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|don't ask]]) in ''[[Casino Royale 1967]]''
* Nina in ''[[Nosferatu]]'' and its remake
Line 155 ⟶ 156:
* In the 2011 adaptation of ''[[Lovecraft on Film|The Whisperer In Darkness]]'', Noyes and George Akeley are killed by the Mi-Go - Noyes when the ritual is disrupted, and George when he tries to deliver the Black Stone to Wilmarth on his father's request. Neither character dies in the original short story: George never leaves San Diego, and Noyes is a [[Karma Houdini]].
* Anita Vanger in [[The Millennium Trilogy|The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo]] becomes a [[Posthumous Character]] in both film versions. Her cousin, Harriet, lives under her name in both of them.
