Line #5 PlayingWith/DeathByAdaptation


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character who survives in the original work dies in the adaptation.
2	* '''Straight''': [[TheLancer Bob]] survived in the original work, but gets killed by [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] in the adaptation.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** In the beginning, Evulz kills Bob in a rather gruesome fashion.
5	** In the adaptation, [[PosthumousCharacter Bob]] dies at a point before he is introduced in the original work.
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** Bob dies in the original work, but is killed sooner in the adaptation.
8	** Bob's fate is ambiguous or player-determined in the original work, but he is explicitly killed in the adaptation.
9	** Bob was killed in the original work and subsequently resurrected, while the adaptation has him die permanently and never brought back to life.
10	** In the original work the DistantEpilogue shows Alice and Bob as an elderly couple, in the adaptation Alice is a widow in said epilogue.
11	* '''Justified''':
12	** The adaptation includes a relatively small change that triggers an alternate outcome, where something that should have saved Bob in the original story is not present in this alternative reality.
13	** [[OvertookTheManga The adaptation has gone beyond the source material]].
14	** It’s set years after the original and Bob died during the time skipped.
15	** In the original work, Radium saved Bob's life, but [[ScienceMarchesOn science has marched on and debunked it's supposed healing abilities]].
16	* '''Inverted''':
17	** SparedByTheAdaptation.
18	** Bob in the original work was a PosthumousCharacter who died before the events of the story. While that's still the case in the adaptation, he gets [[BackFromTheDead brought back to life]] by [[TheHero Alice]].
19	* '''Subverted''': Bob's death turns out to be fake.
20	* '''Double Subverted''': As Bob explains this to Alice, Evulz pops up out of nowhere and kills him for real.
21	* '''Parodied''': The author walks onto the scene and apologizes to Bob, then walks off as Bob is killed by Evulz.
22	* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob [[TheyKilledKennyAgain keeps dying and coming back]], which definitely doesn't happen in the original.
23	* '''Averted''': Bob survives the adaptation as expected.
24	* '''Enforced''':
25	** ExecutiveMeddling and/or the author: "The story is good, but it's not dark enough. Let's make it DarkerAndEdgier by killing off Bob."
26	** The author decides that the original was too unrealistic and is editing out an AssPull in favor of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome.
27	* '''Lampshaded''': Bob's last words to Emperor Evulz are: "How did you get there?"
28	* '''Invoked''': Evulz acts differently in earlier scenes, such as avoiding a mistake he made in the original. This results in him being more likely to kill Bob.
29	* '''Exploited''': The writer has Alice turns her friend's death into a call to arms for her fellow fighters.
30	* '''Defied''': Alice saves Bob just before Emperor Evulz attacks. This didn't happen in the original, if only because Evulz never got the chance to strike in the first place.
31	* '''Discussed''': Alice and her friends mourn Bob's death in a scene unique to the film, and talk about how unexpected his death was.
32	* '''Conversed''': A GenreSavvy character talks about how the film adaptations in his world "always kill off the best characters in the books".
33	* '''Implied''': Bob is nowhere to be seen in the adaptation, and all of the characters refer to him in past tense.
34	* '''Deconstructed''': The plot change causes other changes in the storyline that drastically alter the outcome of the plot. For instance, Bob's death traumatizes Alice and Evulz delivers a BreakingSpeech on why he means serious business.
35	* '''Reconstructed''':
36	** The effects of this alternate outcome are replaced by carefully arranged InSpiteOfANail influences to realign the plot back to the original. For instance, Alice continues her quest but with a new motivation to avenge her fallen friend.
37	** Alternatively, Alice comes to terms with the death and develops a better personality for it.
