* ''Series/{{Percy Jackson and the Olympians|2023}}'':

to:

* ''Series/{{Percy Jackson and the Olympians|2023}}'':Olympians|2023}}'': The trio is overall much, much more GenreSavvy than in the books, showing far more familiarity with Greek myths and seeing through traps that they cluelessly stumbled into in the original novels.


Added DiffLines:

** In the book, the trio is forced to take refuge in a mattress store to get away from some hooligans, which turns out to be owned by Procrustes, a demigod who tricks unsuspecting travelers into lying on his beds and then stretches or cuts them up to make them exactly fit the bed. The show changes the encounter from random happenstance to the heroes' destination by making Procrustes' shop an entrance to the Underworld; Percy knows who Procrustes is, and what his plans are, before even entering the store, and the trio easily dispatches him.

* ''Fanfic/SupermanHouseOfEl'': Kara is a brilliant scientist in this fic, using not just her own intelligence but her early schooling on Krypton and the legacy of knowledge in the Fortress to advance science and technology to help humanity.

* ''Literature/GoToSleepAJeffTheKillerRewrite'': In [[Literature/JeffTheKiller the original story]], the doctor merely assumes Jeff's signs of insanity to be an effect of the painkillers and simply allows him to go home. Mr. Patterson, who helps Jeff's recovery at the hospital in this rewrite, books an appointment for Jeff to see a child psychiatrist out of concern of his disturbing behaviour, but he concedes to Jeff's family's wishes to not go through with it since it would be on Halloween.

* ''Series/{{Percy Jackson and the Olympians|2023}}'': Annabeth figures out that Percy is Poseidon's son much quicker than she does in the books. Here, she shoves him into the river because she's seemingly riddled out that he's Poseidon's son before anyone else at camp has figured it out, after seeing him demonstrate MakingASplash powers in a prior scuffle with Clarisse. In the books, she only realizes it after she sees Percy's wounds heal from being in the water after the game of Capture the Flag ends.

** In the books, Auntie Em is only revealed as Medusa after Grover recognizes a satyr statue as being his Uncle Ferdinand. In the show, Annabeth figures this out immediately -- "'Auntie Em' has a garden full of stone statues!" -- and Medusa never attempts to conceal her identity.
** The trio enters the Lotus Hotel and Casino entirely unsuspectingly in the books -- they only make the connection to the lotus eaters of ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' after some time inside, realizing that [[YearOutsideHourInside the hotel essentially makes time freeze for all patrons]]. In the show, Grover reminds the group of the lotus incident before they even enter. However, they're still kept inside because they think you have to eat the lotus flowers to be affected -- instead lotus mist is pumped into the air, meaning they are all affected to some degree.

* ''VideoGame/DoctorRobotniksMeanBeanMachine:'' Scratch and Grounder, and frankly all of the briefly seen Badniks, in the original ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', were completely stupid and often ruined every plan they came across. Here they seem to have gotten a huge AI boost, as they're actually formidable opponents and play ''Puyo Puyo'' quite well; Grounder is a difficult boss and Scratch is second only to Robotnik himself in skill. GameplayAndStorySegregation likely comes into play here.

* ''Fanfic/EverydayCrazinessInPontypandy'': In [[WesternAnimation/FiremanSam his canonical series]], Elvis is a clumsy KindheartedSimpleton with a short attention span. This fanfic series, while keeping his goofy personality, emphasizes his emotional intelligence and makes him bilingual, speaking both English and French; something he never does in canon.

* In both versions of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' (i.e. UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 and the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS DS]] remake), Bowser successfully invades Princess Peach's castle, steals the Power Stars, and imprisons Peach and the retainers within the castle walls. In the original, Bowser [[IdiotBall leaves the front door to Peach's castle unlocked]]. In the DS version, the front door ''is'' locked and Yoshi must nearly eat a rabbit (named Mips) to take the key off him. [[DownplayedTrope However, the door to Bob-omb Battlefield is still unsealed]].

* When it comes to ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' and its numerous adaptations in film and on the stage Raoul loses his ManChild UpperClassTwit behaviour from the book, thanks gaining the AdaptedOut Daroga aka Persian's competency. In [[Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004 2004 adaptation]] he's able to figure his way out of one the Phantom's traps whereas in the book he needed the Daroga's aid to do so. Tragically though as while Raoul gets this, Christine by comparison gets the inverse with heaps of AdaptationalDumbass piled on her compared to her book counterpart.

* ''Fanfic/ADivineRomanticComedy'': A minor example, but Lucifer immediately realizes Vaggie's a FallenAngel upon introduction. In ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' proper, there's nothing to suggest he was aware of this fact at all before the finale.

* ''Series/AvatarTheLastAirbender2024'': Ozai in the original series was an overgrown bully who used his natural power to have his way and otherwise was content to sit around and let those under him handle matters of their own accord. This Ozai actually displays a degree of cunning, deliberately pitting his two children against each other with his conditional favoritism in order to get them to accomplish his goals without revealing his involvement, something his animated incarnation never thought to do. He also has a network of spies and saboteurs to quash dissent, again something that his animated counterpart never considered needing due to his arrogant assurance in his own authority. While his original counterpart was well known for being a master of manipulation, much of these traits were only in passing.

*''Fanfic/CharlesMansonVsTheTeletubbies'': The Teletubbies are capable of normal human speech (and even speak flowery, formal English), unlike in the original show where their dialogue was essentially TheUnintelligible.
