Fred got this AND adaptational wimp, since he went from being able to turn into a monster to a teenager in a monster costume. Then again the latter's more practical and less expensive from an animation standpoint. Also the costume design's pretty unique, while his monster form in the original is a generic kaiju.

This needs to be rewritten as two separate examples:

• Both Hannibal King and Hal Jordan in their respective film appearances end up like this, thanks to the writers of both trying to take advantage of Ryan Reynolds's comedic talents. Despite Reynolds proving himself a capable serious actor and action star, both instead rewrote the characters to be goofy Deadpan Snarker types, with King almost resembling Deadpool, a character that Reynolds was, at the time, working with the developers of the Blade franchise to bring to film with him playing the role.
