* Loki in the original [[Norse Mythology|Norse sagas]] was [[Happily Married]] to his wife Sigyn, excluding a Frost Giant mistress and a horse here and there. So happy that they had several children and she tended to him after he received punishment for killing Baldr. In the [[Marvel Comics]] universe, Loki conducts a [[Bed Trick]] to win over Sigyn since she was engaged to another god, whom Loki proceeded to murder; while Sigyn accepted this fate when realizing Odin had married her to the wrong man, Loki himself alternated between being an [[Ungrateful Bastard]] about her devotion to him, and guilt that he brought someone he truly loved into his personal hell. Even he knew that such trickery went too far, and in the present Marvel universe has released her from the wedding vows, telling Sigyn she is free to live her life. Sigyn thus far hasn't listened.
* Likewise, in ''[[The Sandman]]'' Thor is completely unlikable and a [[Kavorka Man]], and Loki is a remorseless trickster that kidnaps a baby and seemingly burns it alive, on the orders of a mysterious boss. He then kills a woman who happens to be the mother's roommate, just because; Loki in the sagas never killed senselessly. {{spoiler|It's hinted that Dream was the boss in question and set his suicide in motion out of guilt for having to kill his only son, but unlikely since Dream sends the Corinthian to apprehend Loki and return him to his prison after Daniel is in place to become the new dream}}.

** 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.
* 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.
* ''
* This happened by virtue of ''[[The Princess Diaries]]'' book series eventually surpassing the films.
** Lana Weinberger is known to be an [[Alpha Bitch]] in both versions, but {{spoiler|she and Josh broke up after he went to college, and she matures in the later books after gracefully losing to Mia in the student elections. She offers an olive branch and genuine friendship to Mia after the latter breaks with Michael, saying she knows exactly how that feels. Mia eventually realizes that Lana isn't trying to hurt people's feelings; it's that she thinks she's being funny while coming off as insensitive, which actually makes her the Alpha Bitch version of Lilly who does the same thing}}. The first film had none of these moments since Book 9 came out long after production and Lana is nowhere to be seen in the sequel; she remains a vapid cheerleader who mocks Mia for the heck of it, with none of the [[Hidden Depths]] she would show later.

* In ''[[Annie]]'', Mr. Warbucks is a little stiffer than his counterpart "Daddy Warbucks" in the original ''[[Little Orphan Annie]]'' comic. Daddy Warbucks wanted to adopt Annie immediately. In the play, after learning that his secretary Grace chose a girl orphan, Mr. Warbucks asks rather brusquely why she didn't get a boy for the winter holidays. He feels bad, however, when Annie apologizes for not being a boy but hopes that she will be fun anyway, and takes her out to the movies as an apology. After one night, his heart has melted and he asks Annie politely the next day if he could adopt her.
* ''[[Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier]]'', the Team Starkid parody, manages to make the Captain of the Guards even a bigger jerk than Razoul is in the ''Aladdin'' series, and that's saying something! Razoul hates Aladdin for being a thief and a troublemaker but he has a healthy respect for the Sultan and Jafar, at least until the latter is outed as a traitor. He also eventually warms up to Aladdin when the latter team up in the television spinoff. The Captain of the Guard keeps critiquing Jafar's way of leadership, saying "This is all Jafar's fault!" and saying that the vizier's 2Ds department was executed because they weren't producing anything. (Jafar admits he has a point by nodding his head sadly.) His redeeming moments are his legitimate concern for the men killed at Aladdin's hands directly or indirectly, as well as for the Princess. When finding the Princess at the hideout, the Captain's first concern is ensuring the Princess wasn't hurt or assaulted before arresting Aladdin, and admonishing her for how stupid she was to trust the first stranger that took her home.

* Implied in a meta-level with ''[[Doki Doki Literature Club!]]'', especially with the deluxe edition. Before {{spoiler|Monika gains sentience and corrupts the program}}, all the girls are friendly with each other. Indeed, rather than {{spoiler|manipulating her into a suicide}}, Monika ''hugs'' Sayori and comforts her {{spoiler|through a depressive episode}}, while she helps Yuri write an apology letter to Natsuki. Then you get to the main story...{{spoiler|Monika hacks the story so that both Sayori and Yuri die by suicide, while Natsuki becomes more abrasive due to her father starving her. While she realizes that she went too far, because she just wanted to make her friends unlikable, not ''kill'' them, Monika erases most of the world, including the innocent player character, so she can have the actual player to herself}}.
