!!Tropes applying to the films
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: In ''Insurgent'', Evelyn doesn't look remotely old enough to be Four's mother. Naomi Watts is sixteen years older than Theo James, so their parental relationship in the movie is biologically possible, but the makeup and lighting departments did a damn good job at making her look as old as him, tops. Evelyn does at least say she was "very young" when she ran away.
* AdaptationDistillation: The films actually cut out a chunk of information from the novels to focus more on others.
** Tris' friendship with other Dauntless members not named Christina, Will, and Al are sacrificed so the films could focus more on her budding romance with Four. It is also why when Uriah meets Tris in the Candor headquarters in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'', he has to introduce himself first (in the novels he is one of her best friends since the first book).
** The [[spoiler:insurgency against Erudite]] at the end of ''Insurgent'' had the entire Dauntless faction (plus a few from other factions) actually collaborate in the plot, whilst in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' this is simplified so that only Tris, Four, Caleb, Peter, and Jeanine figure much.
* AdaptationExpansion: Thanks to the plans to split ''Allegiant'' into two films, its first part, ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'', allows for many chances at this.
** [[spoiler:An additional subplot concerns the "rescue" (actually more like putting more people into the Bureau) of a village's worth of people. It serves as the first indication to Four that David is not what he seems.]]
** [[spoiler:A meeting with the council members at the city of Providence finally causes Tris to discover David's true intentions. She does not learn about his alignment until very far into the novel.]]
** [[spoiler:The whole plot about the memory serum is moved to much earlier in the timeline. Because Nita's rebellion is adapted out, Four immediately goes to Chicago following the aforementioned village's rescue, and Tris gets to visit Chicago again (in the novel, she spends her entire time in the Bureau). The battle between the Allegiant and the factionless is thus expanded, not to mention furthering Evelyn's role (she's essentially relegated to the background until Four's visit in the novel, which happens much, much later). David also has a very direct role in the battle.]] Due to the second part of the film adaptation, ''The Divergent Series: Ascendant'', ultimately getting cancelled, how it was going to fill the rest of the book's events remains unclear, seeing that the only major event from the novel left uncovered [[spoiler:was Tris' death.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** In the novel, Tris is described as average looking, with a long nose. In the film, she is played by the gorgeous Creator/ShaileneWoodley.
** In the novel, Eric is described as having a frightening and repugnant appearance. In the film, he certainly still has an intimidating presence, but is actually pretty good looking.
** A more general example is Chicago itself. In the book, it is far bleaker and grimmer. The filmmakers claimed they wanted to play up the CrapsaccharineWorld trope - initially showing Chicago as a "communal utopia" before slowly revealing all the corruption underneath.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
** Jeanine appears more often in the film version of ''Divergent'' than the book, where she is only mentioned most of the time.
** [[spoiler:David]] being revealed as the true BigBad is a major shocking reveal in ''Allegiant'' and is kept secret until near the end; with most of the first part of the book focusing on [[spoiler:Nita's rebellion]]. However halfway through ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'', [[spoiler:David's]] true persona is already unmasked and he spends the rest of the film as the main villain.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Molly is much less antagonistic in the film than she is in the novel. She's still portrayed as a tough fighter, but otherwise lacks the openly sadistic and cruel streak of her book counterpart, and even compliments Tris for standing up to Eric during the knife-throwing.
** Nita in '' The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' [[spoiler:does not try to rebel against the Bureau for mistreating the genetically-damaged]] like she does in ''Allegiant''. [[spoiler:While she does assist Tris and co. against the Bureau's orders, it's because she (and everybody else in the Bureau) knows that David is up to no good, not because of a personal vendetta that Tris is sympathetic with]].
* AdaptedOut:
** Many of Tris' friends and fellow initiates from the books do not make it in to the films so that more focus could be put on her romance with Four. This includes Uriah, Lynn, Marlene, Lynn's sister Shauna, Uriah's brother Zeke, and Will's sister Cara. ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' features them in a much more reduced role, with Lynn only coming up just once to remind the others that the [[spoiler:recently deceased Marlene]] did have a name.\\
\\
The exclusion of Cara is particularly significant, since in ''Allegiant'', she [[spoiler:is one of the leaders of the titular Allegiant, participates together with Tris' group to get to the fringes of Chicago, and also gets the task of informing Four at the end about Tris' death]].
** [[spoiler:Tori's brother, George, and Four's mentor, Amar,]] do not appear in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant''. However, since they figure little if at all in the book [[spoiler:(other than serving some tear-jerking moments as Tori was killed just moments before, rendering her entire goal to take revenge a ShaggyDogStory)]], it does not greatly impact the plot.
%% * AdvertisedExtra: Octavia Spencer as Johanna in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' - as she only appears at the start of the film. She has a bigger role in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant''.
* AgeGapRomance: The films technically have this trope between Four and Tris. In the first book, Tris has recently turned 16 and Four is 18, averting this trope. However, in the movie Four looks much older than Tris. The characters' ages aren't specified in the movie though according to Tris' actor Creator/ShaileneWoodley, Tris is still supposed to be around 16 while Four was [[AgeLift aged up]] to 24 or 25 to accommodate Creator/TheoJames' casting, as he was 28 during filming and looked it; Woodley was 22 [[OlderThanTheyLook but could pass for a teenager]]. Going by Woodley's statement, Four is around eight to nine years older than Tris. The age gap isn't commented upon, although their romance develops whilst [[TeacherStudentRomance the more experienced Four mentors Tris]] as a Dauntless initiate. It's worth noting that in the setting, people come of age and are allowed to choose the Faction they want want to join permanently at 16, so in-universe they're likely viewed as two adults in a relationship despite them being nearly a decade apart.
* AndStarring:
** The first two movies have "and Creator/KateWinslet".
** ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' also has "with Creator/NaomiWatts".
%% ** And ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' adds Jeff Daniels to the mix.
* ArmorPiercingResponse: When Four guesses that Tris is a Divergent.
--> '''Tris:''' Neither am I [going to pass the final test].
--> '''Four:''' Why do you say that?
--> ''beat''
--> '''Tris:''' You know why. And as soon as the others find out, they're gonna kill me.
--> '''Four:''' I am not going to let that happen.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: In ''Insurgent'', [[spoiler:Tori, one of Tris' friends, kills Jeanine near the end of the novel to avenge her brother]]. In its film adaptation, [[spoiler:it's instead Evelyn who does the job, likely to foreshadow the fact that she is much crueller than she appears to be]].
* BigNo: Jeanine is a master of this. She says big nos when [[spoiler:Tris stops the simulation on Dauntless in ''Divergent'' and when Tris apparently dies during the attempt to open the simulation box in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent''.]]
** [[spoiler:David utters a big one when Tris manages to prevent the memory serum from being completely released in Chicago in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant''.]]
* BlueAndOrangeContrast:
** In ''Divergent'' the orange is dominant during the fear simulations, with blue in the background. This is reversed at the test, where blue is dominant and orange is in the background.
** In ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' Jeanine's control room is made up of various shades of blue. The controls on the screen are orange.
** ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' does a similar thing where the screens of many of the machines are blue, and the text appears in orange.
* {{Bookends}}: ''Insurgent'' begins with Jeanine taking power over and addressing the city with her will and it ends with [[spoiler:her watching the loss of her power while imprisoned and then goes straight to the credits the instant she's executed by Evelyn]].
* CanonForeigner: A new character, Edgar, replaces the role that Edward (the Dauntless guy who is forced to go factionless in ''Divergent'') would take in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' and beyond. [[spoiler:Unlike Edward, though, Edgar survives all the way to the end of ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' (he's actually the one who kills Tori), while Edward dies just a few pages into ''Allegiant'']].
%% * DemotedToExtra: Christina starting in the ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent''. She spends most of the second act of ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' in the background, but does at least feature in the climax.
* DividedForAdaptation: The novel ''Allegiant'' was split into two films, ''Allegiant'' and ''Ascendant'', the latter of which was cancelled after the formers disappointing reception and box office performance.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange:
** Tris's hair is used as a clock to symbolise her character development. In ''Divergent'', when she is part of Abnegation, it's tied up in a modest bun. When she joins Dauntless, it's kept in a ponytail. It only comes down whenever she's at her most vulnerable (usually when she's alone with Four). In ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' she cuts it drastically short, showing how she's haunted by what's happened to her. She [[spoiler:forgives herself for everything]] at the end of the film, so it has grown longer by ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' to reflect this.
** Jeanine wears her hair down in ''Divergent'' when she's merely a BitchInSheepsClothing. When she takes control in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' she now wears her hair up.
** Natalie's hair was in a bun like Tris's at the start of ''Divergent''. [[spoiler:When she pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment in the climax to rescue Tris]] her hair is now down.
%% * TheFilmOfTheBook
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the early scenes of ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'', Tris is told that to be a member of Amity means forgiving others and yourself. [[spoiler:At the end of the film, she passes the Amity simulation by declaring that even if no one else forgives her for what she's done, she can still forgive herself]].
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** In ''Divergent'', when Tris shoots Peter to get information, Marcus asks "did you ''have'' to shoot him?" - which is very hypocritical coming from [[spoiler:the abusive father]].
** In ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'', this is highlighted with Evelyn too. She claims that she fled Marcus because he was cruel and abusive, getting a very cold look from Tris because [[spoiler:she still abandoned her son]].
* InNameOnly: The third film adaptation, ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' uses some elements and characters from the book it's based on, ''Allegiant'', as groundwork, but it otherwise has ''very'' different direction to the story it takes. Namely, it [[spoiler:skips a whole arc from the novel (Nita's rebellion), reveals David as the villain much earlier, modifies some backgrounds (Natalie didn't just come from the fringes; she's from another city entirely, an experimental one like Chicago to boot), and even makes up some elements that just weren't there in the novel (the City of Providence). It also has Evelyn and Johanna reconcile, Marcus having his memories erased, and the whole city knowing about the outside world before Tris is able to perform her HeroicSacrifice like she does in the novel. Essentially, it's a loose adaptation of ''Allegiant'' with a decidedly happy ending.]]
* IronicEcho: The film has Jeanine explain to Tris why Divergents must be eliminated. During this explanation, she says "I must admit, there is a certain beauty to your resistance." After [[spoiler:using Jeanine's own brainwashing drug to force Jeanine to shut down her scheme]], Tris returns the line to her.
* KangarooCourt: In ''Allegiant'', the defendants' guilt isn't the issue (the {{truth serum}} reveals that) but the judges are blatantly biased against them and show no mercy. All of them are shot immediately. This is why Tris decides to break Caleb out and flee the city.
* MeaningfulEcho: In ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'', "it's/that's what you do for your family". [[spoiler:Tris initially says this as her reason for rescuing Caleb from the prison, though she says it so coldly, you might think she wants to punch him if she doesn't restrain herself. Later in the film, after Caleb helps point Tris to cancel the memory serum, he returns this response to her as his reason for helping her, in a warmer tone and without any hatred]].
* MoodyTrailerCoverSong: ''Insurgent'' uses a moodier cover of Music/LouisArmstrong's happy "What a Wonderful World" ironically, as much destruction goes on in the trailer as it plays.
* OnlyAFleshWound:
** Peter [[spoiler:gets shot in the leg by Tris to shut him down and force him to help her stop the simulation serum. He doesn't bleed and turns up perfectly fine by the end of the rebellion with no indication of a limp at all.]]
** Similarly, in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'', [[spoiler:Evelyn gets shot by Peter, again in the leg, so she can't intervene in the release of the memory serum. Barring some limp, she can function normally afterward, and by the ending, can walk unattended.]]
* PetTheDog: Molly gets a moment like this in the first film, congratulating Tris on standing up to Eric.
* PleaseWakeUp: Tris in ''Divergent'' to [[spoiler:her mother]] mere moments after she dies. It's just one piece of her heart-breaking reaction. She briefly tries this with [[spoiler:Tori]] in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' but she has to flee soon afterwards.
* RageAgainstTheReflection: The Amity simulation in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' is Tris fighting a double of herself.
* RememberTheNewGuy: A few characters who were in the first book but got left out of the film - such as Uriah and Marlene, appear in ''The Divergent Series: Insurgent'' along with the rest of the Dauntless. As the first film mainly focused on Tris and her three friends, we can assume they were there but we just didn't see them. Uriah's name does appear on the scoreboard in the first film.
* RunningGag: In the first movie we have this gem:
--> '''Person:''' You're not gonna shoot me.
--> ''beat''
--> ''Tris shoots him''
** The last time it happens she even adds an exasperated "Why do people keep saying that?".
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Said ''word to word, sentence to sentence'' by [[spoiler:one of Evelyn's {{Mooks}}, when he realizes that it's futile to go against Tris and Christina's drones in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant''. He gets gunned down by Christina for his trouble.]]
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Tris starts wearing white in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' when she works closely with David. [[spoiler:After discovering that he's the villain, she switches back to her old gear]].
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the first book, many Dauntless initiates miss the jump from the train and fall presumably to their deaths (or at least are left factionless). In the film, everyone makes the jump.
* TraumaticHaircut: Marcus Eaton in ''The Divergent Series: Allegiant'' is shown in prison with his head now shaved, implying Evelyn had that done to him as soon as she took control.
* VagueAge: The book states that the initiates take their test when they're sixteen, and Four and Eric's generation are eighteen. They are played by late twenties actors, so their ages are left deliberately vague as a result.
* VillainousValor: Said by [[spoiler:Jeanine to Tris]].
-->"I admire that you're willing to die for what you believe. So am I."
