Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Can you be more specific
Well, the ones you missed include these:
- Despite the fact that the series had the cases of Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole (along with Series Continuity Error), Adaptation Name Change, Adaptational Badass, Adaptational Heroism, Adapted Out, Animated Comic Book Shows Don't Use Codenames, Composite Character, and Expy, X-Men: The Animated Series is the most faithful adaptation of the Marvel Comics series as well as X-Men (along with the members of the group as well as their mythos, costumes, origins, enemies, etc) in general in comparison to all of the X-Men adaptations that have been created after the show (both animated and live action).
- While the series may have had some flaws as well as the cases of Adaptation Distillation, Adaptational Heroism, Adaptational Villainy, Adaptational Wimp, Composite Character, Demoted to Extra, and Not as You Know Them, Wolverine and the X-Men, is much more faithful to the source material than one of its predecessors and the live action film series combined mainly through the fact that it faithfully adapted storylines from the comics (such as the The Phoenix Saga, The Days of Future Past, etc. The series would have adapted the Age of Apocalypse storyline if not for its cancellation) and used a premise that was identical to the source material
Also, since I didn't look at the DC section, I didn't notice these before:
- While the series may have had the cases of Adaptation Distillation, Adaptational Origin Connection, Adaptational Wimp/Nerf, Composite Character, and Canon Foreigner, Superman: The Animated Series is the most faithful (and influential) adaptation of the DC Comics series as well as Superman (along with his mythos, supporting characters, allies, rogue gallery, etc) in general in comparison to all of the Superman adaptations that have been created both before and after the show (particularly the live action ones).
- Justice League (Unlimited), despite having had the cases of Adaptation Distillation, Adaptation Induced Plothole, Adaptational Badass, Adaptational Heroism, Adaptational Villainy, Adaptational Wimp, Captain Ersatz, Canon Foreigner, Animated Comic Book Shows Don't Use Code Names, Composite Character, and Promoted to Love Interest, is the most faithful (and influential) adaptation of the DC Comics series as well as the superhero team The Justice League of America (along with the members of the group as well as their mythos, costumes, origins, enemies, etc) and the Main DC Universe in general in comparison to most of the DC adaptations that have been created before the show and all of the DC adaptations that have been created after the show (both animated and live action). Many stories were adapted faithfully, despite distillation, with the most notable example being "For the Man Who Has Everything", which not only remains faithful to Alan Moore's original story, but being one of the only adaptations of his work he approves of.
- Batman
- Batman: The Animated Series, despite having had the cases of Adaptation Distillation, Adaptation Name Change, Adaptational Heroism, Adapted Out, Composite Character, and Canon Foreigner, is the most faithful (and influential) adaptation of the DC Comics series as well as Batman (along with his mythos, supporting cast, allies, and rogue gallery) in general in comparison to all of the Batman adaptations that have been created both before and after the show (both animated and live action).
It seems especially obnoxious after noticing that few to no entries describing live-action movies have these laundry lists!
I agree...I think the entries need to specify what exactly it is being truer to the text in reference to context.
I mean Truer to the Text means truer compared to other adaptations. So Spectacular Spider-Man works...but others don't.
In the "Adapted From Comics" folder on Truer to the Text, can someone please either trim or delete the entries proclaiming, "X Marvel cartoon is true despite (insert several deviations)"?
