Adaptational Villainy and Adaptational Heroism are for when a hero becomes a villain or vice versa; Adaptational Jerkass and Adaptational Nice Guy are for when they simply have more nice or mean actions.

* AdaptationalVillainy: TV Melisandre is considerably more callous than her book counterpart. She mocks the death of Davos's son, instead of expressing regret about it, shows no regret about having to sacrifice Gendry, does not offer Cressen a chance to save himself after he tries to poison her, pushes Stannis to sacrifice Shireen, and later keeps her own part in the fall of Stannis a secret. She also lacks several of the PetTheDog moments that her book version had.
* AdaptationalWimp: The show's dialing down of the prophecy and visions generally makes the skepticism Melisandre attracts more justified on the show. In the books, her powers increase when she arrives at the Wall and her visions seen in flames become more powerful and vivid, to the point that Jon Snow eventually starts believing in it. In the show, Jon Snow is entirely skeptical and dismissive of her. He eventually banishes her from Winterfell, rather than execute her as Davos asked, partly because Melisandre did resurrect him. Also, in the books she uses her magic to burn an eagle that was being controlled by a warg, killing it and driving the warg insane as a result, during Stannis's attack on the wildlings. On the show, she has no role in the battle whatsoever.
** Averted [[spoiler:in the Battle of Winterfell where she shows the full extent of her power and really pulled her weight throughout the whole episode, leaving little doubts about her magical capabilities.]]
