Title: The Adaptation: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

When a work is adapted into a different medium, there is a tendency to subtitle that work with the format of the new adaptation. For example, a TV show called ''[[Alice and Bob|Bob And Alice]]'', when adapted into a movie, will be called ''Bob and Alice: [[The Movie]]''.
