These examples are better suited to Adaptational Jerkass.


* AdaptationalJerkass: In later seasons of the show, much is made of Dany needing advisors around her who will keep her worst instincts in check. In the books, when Dany and her advisors disagree on such things, it's consistently ''the advisors'' who are suggesting actions more ruthless than she's comfortable with and Dany who is pushing back against them. This goes in hand with Jorah Mormont undergoing AdaptationalNiceGuy to serve as her MoralityChain, whereas his book version was not highly ethical.
* AdaptationalModesty: You wouldn't think it considering Emilia has had to take her kit off more than any other of the leading ladies on the show. ''Twelve'' separate scenes, only two of them with ModestyBedsheet, over seven seasons; but this is in fact in the books Dany is not only naked when trying to face her husband in the marriage bed but also takes him ''outside'' their tent to make out in front of the entire khalasar as per another omitted Dothraki cultural norm. We don't get the Womb of the World bathing scene and subsequent sex scene with Drogo. Really, there are ''many'' bath scenes with Dany and her handmaidens from the books which are cut. As is the single-breast baring Quartheen dress, sex scenes with Irri, Daario, Hizdahr, Dany losing most of her yellow silks to Drogon's fire breath are removed, as is a scene where she cavorts around trying to get dressed while Jorah is in her room, driving him to near madness with lust.
* AdaptationalSeriousness: TV Daenerys is almost always grave, with the showrunners reportedly having even directed Emilia Clarke not to smile in some scenes. Book Daenerys is allowed to be light-hearted more often, with George Martin even citing her sense of humor as a reason he would choose Daenerys if he had to go on vacation with an ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' character.
* AdaptationalSexuality: In the books, she occasionally has sex with her handmaid Irri as a kind of stress relief (indicating that she's bisexual since she also enjoyed having sex with Drogo), but in the show, she's discomforted when she gets a little ''too'' into Doreah's tutoring on lovemaking in "The Kingsroad".
* AdaptationalVillainy: Dany from the books often shows a softer side that is sometimes missing from the show:
