* The [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse DCEU]] version of Batman: In every other version, there's a reason he's the TropeNamer for the BatmanGambit, in this version he's very easily manipulated by Lex Luthor. Also, Batman's greatest weapon is usually being a master manipulator and being CrazyPrepared, a lot of fans would have trouble believing he would ever face Superman in battle without knowing everything about him, including his mother's name.

* In Kipling's ''The Jungle Book'', Baloo is the wise, strict but fair, teacher. Old but well respected by the wolves and Bagheera for his vast knowledge of the laws, languages, and customs of the different jungle animals. In Disney's animated movie, Baloo is a goofy, fun-loving, lazy, and rather irresponsible character. And more of a fun uncle/older brother figure to Mowgli, than the mentor/grandfatherly figure he was in the books.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** In the books, Sansa can spout historical and literary trivia and identify Renly and Barristan purely by SherlockScan, but in the show, she literally thinks "shift" is a vulgar word for dung. She also remains oblivious to subtle character clues like Loras' chivalrous disinterest and Littlefinger's [[StepfordSmiler Stepford Smile]] instead of sensing them after a single conversation, and she trusts her mysterious new maid "even though she tells me not to" rather than assuming she's a spy (which is true of her maids in the novels).
** Arya is a lot more [[AttackAttackAttack heedless]] and prone to RevengeBeforeReason than in the books where she prefers to avoid confrontations and only fight when she has no other choice.
*** For instance, in "Mhysa", she attacks a man-at-arms for [[spoiler: bragging about desecrating her brother's body]] without any heed to his comrades which simply doesn't happen in the books, and in "Two Swords" she's intent on confronting several soldiers at an inn despite the Hound's protests, while in the books it's the Hound who rushes into the inn despite ''Arya's'' protests and she only loses control on the last man standing at the end of the fight.
*** Then there's the matter of her carefree stroll through Braavos while the setting's best MurderInc is after her in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS6E7TheBrokenMan The Broken Man]]", and while it can be argued that her IndyPloy in [[Recap/GameOfThronesS6E8NoOne "No One"]] ultimately allowed her to win, that plan would've been [[MissingStepsPlan utterly useless]] if she hadn't serendipitously survived the Waif's previous attack in "The Broken Man".
** Robb is made more brash and impulsive due to the show's changes to his marriage. In the books, he marries Jeyne Westerling to save her from being DefiledForever by their OneNightStand fully knowing it's a terrible move but choosing [[HonorBeforeReason Jeyne's honour]] anyway. The televised version sees him marry Talisa because he can't control his [[RagingStiffie raging]]... [[LastSecondWordSwap love]] [[MarryForLove for her]] and refuses to hear what a stupid move it is. He also brings his entire court to [[spoiler: the Twins for the Red Wedding]] in the show, resulting in [[spoiler: all of them being either killed or captured]]. Granted, he doesn't foresee [[spoiler: the betrayal]] in the novels either, but he does recognize the foolishness of keeping all his eggs in one basket and therefore leaves his wife at Riverrun with the Blackfish rather than bringing her with him.
** Stannis needs to be told of the Lannister incest by Ned and the Dance of the Dragons by Shireen in the show. In the books, he's the first to raise suspicions of incest and co-investigates with Jon Arryn, and he knows enough history to specifically include a faction leader of the Dance in a list of historical traitors. He's also initially very cynical of Melisandre and her religion in the books but dives right into fundamentalism in the show, and his military tactics always seem to boil down to [[AttackAttackAttack direct assaults]].
** Mace Tyrell isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer in the books either but he's far from the clueless oaf depicted in the show. For instance, his feasting at Storm's End is implied to have been a psychological weapon against Stannis' starving garrison and he personally commands the right wing of the army in the Battle of Blackwater, which are things that are very hard to imagine him doing in the show.
** Roose Bolton, for all his political and psychological savvy, can't seem to see what a viper Ramsay is and openly rebels against the Lannisters [[MissingStepsPlan before he's ready]] by marrying Ramsay to Sansa (which is [[InformedAttribute never actually shown]] to win him any support), leaving Littlefinger free to descend on them with an army. Contrast this with the books, where Roose keeps Ramsay on a short leash by controlling his goons and ''strengthens'' his ties to the Lannisters by acquiring an imposter Stark bride from them, which brings half the North at least begrudgingly to his side and provides him thousands of reinforcements from the south. In addition, the book version of Roose ''doesn't'' constantly antagonize his psychologically unstable son by threatening to take away his inheritance. In fact, he's creepily at peace with the fact that Ramsay will eventually kill his other heirs since he himself is too old to raise new sons to manhood and "boy lords are the bane of any House."
** The show portrays the Sand Snakes as DumbMuscle whose main pursuits are bickering and trying to kill people, and even when they try to get involved in diplomacy they're just insulted and told to "let the grown women speak." In the books, they're still stubborn and hotheaded but only Obara could even be ''accused'' of not also being cunning and politically aware and Doran even tasks Nymeria and Tyene with infiltrating the Small Council and the Faith Militant for him. Tyene Sand, although still a MasterPoisoner, in the show displays none of the cunning she does in the books when she suggests invoking Dorne's gender-neutral inheritance laws to crown Myrcella as a rival to Tommen in an attempt to lure the Lannisters into an unwise attack on their ThirstyDesert kingdom. Instead she comes across as merely a petulant PsychopathicWomanchild who still calls her mother, "Mama."
** Hand in hand with other deviations, Jon makes more mistakes or just doesn't get to be as clever as in the novels, particularly in his leadership which--unlike TheStrategist of the novels--mostly amounts to being a FrontlineGeneral in numerous battles and skirmishes, many of which are [[FailureHero likely or even unequivocal defeats]] until TheCavalry bails him out. He also often neglects or delegates important administration whereas in the books he's something of a BadassBureaucrat PenPushingPresident who competently institutes major logistical reforms and frequently negotiates treaties, alliances, and loans. Some fans chalk this divergence all up to not spending enough time being mentored by Qhorin Halfhand in Season 2.

Then there are these characters, who are actually made dumber; for example, a character who was TheSmartGuy in the source material becomes TheDitz in the new one.
See also AdaptationPersonalityChange. Compare and contrast TookALevelInDumbass, where a character decreases in intellect inside the particular work, and AdaptationalIntelligence, this trope's polar opposite.

* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'': In the OVA, Mihoshi was a competent cop, but had been overworked to the point that she had a nervous breakdown and was forced to take a leave for her health. She'd just been reinstated when the series began, but she still wasn't back on the ball and made silly mistakes. The third OVA implies that something terrible and traumatic happened to her that caused her mental break, but nothing definite is ever pinned down. All other continuities portrayed her as a ditz from the get-go, with the understanding that she'd ''always'' been incompetent.

* ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'': Whereas the comics Bane was smart enough to come up with a plan to beat Batman, the movie Bane was barely able to speak, only engaging in HulkSpeak and saying one or two words at most when he did. Turning the GeniusBruiser into barely sentient DumbMuscle is one of the many, many reasons why fans would rather [[FanonDiscontinuity pretend that movie never happened]].
* Downplayed in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''. While Wolverine is by no means stupid, the film version lacks his comic counterpart's worldliness and CunningLinguist skills.
