*** The show might leave some older viewers scratching their heads at the fact that the Rangers all have [[HumongousMecha Zords]] and [[AnimalMotifs costume emblems]] based on prehistoric animals, even though they got their powers and equipment from [[MentorArchetype Zordon]]--a wise alien trapped in a time warp, who has no logical reason to be interested in extinct creatures from Earth's past. For that matter, how the hell does Zordon even know what dinosaurs ''look like''? And if he's from another planet, why does he have a Command Center on Earth with a stasis tube to contain his consciousness? Well, in ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'', all of those things made perfect sense. The Rangers' mentor was an [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld immortal]] human wizard named Barza, the Rangers themselves were warriors from an idyllic past [[OneMillionBC when humans and dinosaurs lived in perfect harmony]], and their vehicles were gifts from a race of godlike beings who took the forms of animals. The American redub replaced Barza with Zordon and cut out the prehistoric backstory, but forgot to explain why the Rangers and their mentor were obsessed with dinosaurs.

** Comic!Homelander is clearly far weaker than Superman, given the rather mundane depleted-uranium artillery, swords and crowbars he’s hurt and [[spoiler: even killed by.]] And it's explicitly stated that the government believes that if all the Supes were gathered in one place, a [[NukeEm single nuke would kill them all.]] In the show, however, Homelander claims the opposite: that every weapons on earth has failed to kill him ([[InformedAbility to be fair, we have only his word for this.)]] In the show’s universe, the government also doesn’t have [[SuperSerum Compound V]] enhanced agents to counteract Supes, which might make some viewers wonder why [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]] is rarely brought up as an option for him by either him, or his enemies.

** Mithril always played a smaller role than the Silmarils in Middle-earth's history, and it was never connected to the Silmarils, being always a simple powerful ore. While J.R.R. Tolkien's works state that the Elves' bodies will eventually fade away in Middle-earth both due to the evil that Morgoth brought and because Tolkien considered the era of Elves would draw to an end and the time of Men will. The "fading" was a natural transition from one race to another. In the show, mithril from Khazad-dum originates from one of the Silmarils, which could have provided a good explanation for Elves the need the mithril. But it goes against established lore. The "light of the Silmarils" already exists in the Evening Star, shining continuously on Middle-earth, which is canon to the show too. This renders the need for mithril to nothing.
** There is also Gil-galad sending Galadriel back to Valinor. In the books, Galadriel had led the revolting Noldor in exile to Middle-earth, out of desire to rule something on her own. As result, the Valar put a ban on her to ever return to Valinor, to which Galadriel "replied proudly that she had no wish to do so". Galadriel resisting the One Ring when Frodo wants to give it to her, was all about her earning the forgiveness of the Valar so she can could return to Valinor. In the show, there is either no ban on Galadriel returning to Valinor, or Gil-gala somehow convinced the Valar to raise the ban on Galadriel, but it's very ambiguous.

* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'':
** Unless the story of how Galadriel came in the possession of her current name is a case of being AdaptedOut, Finrod referring to a child Galadriel as "Galadriel" while they were still living in Valinor, is canonically wrong. In the novels, her original name was Artanis and/or Nerwen. She only became "Galadriel" after meeting her husband, Celeborn, as an adult, who gave her this name.

*** Related to that, Snicket is given a line suggesting that Klaus would be wracked with guilt for not just shouting "He's Olaf!" to Monty. In the books, this is because he knew full well that Monty believed that Stephano was a spy from the Herpetelogical Society. However, in the show, the kids spend the entire plot (wrongly) believing that Monty knew that Stephano was actually Olaf and are never given any indication to the contrary, so the line no longer makes sense.

** The VFD subplot being integrated into the show much earlier than it was in the books has also caused some issues. For example, in "The Reptile Room", Uncle Monty mistakenly believes "Stephano" is a spy from the Herpetological Society rather than Count Olaf in disguise. This made some sense in the books, where he had no real reason to suspect otherwise (beyond the children trying to warn him, but NotNowKiddo is a staple of this series) but not in the show when he's receiving secret messages from the VFD about the children being in danger.

danger. Granted, he seems to come to the conclusion that "Stephano" is from the Herpetological Society before he gets such messages, so it may not have occurred to him to reexamine what he thought was going on once he did, but this seems unlikely since Uncle Monty is portrayed as rather smart, and Olaf makes an attempt on his life (which Monty seems to recognize for what it is) before he gets the messages.

* ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'' gave [[TheTheocracy The Republic Of Gildead]] the AdaptationalBadass treatment in two significant ways, likely because the showrunners expect it to be a LongRunner and perhaps feared mainstream audiences would not take an EvilEmpire that played FascistButInefficient and DystopiaIsHard as straight as the novel did seriously as a threat. But these changes don't make in-universe sense because Gilead's origins and policy aren't fundamentally changed:
** It's implied in [[Literature/TheHandmaidsTale the novel,]] that Gilead only controls most of the eastern seaboard, and is losing a civil war against parts of the U.S. loyal to the constitution, which it eventually does in the book's epilogue and sequels. In the series, however, Gilead is depicted as almost as powerful as the pre-takeover US with nuclear missiles, fighter jets, and [[WeHaveReserves enough soldiers to]] flood its city streets while also fighting a war. By later seasons, it appears to have conquered the entire continental U.S., and turns its attention to a potential war/conquest of Canada. The only real explanation is a throwaway line from a former US soldier claiming all police and soldiers were abruptly declared Guardians of Gilead. This implies that, despite Gilead's ideology not having been popular enough before their coup to have any notable representation in the US congress, presidency or supreme court, the majority of U.S. soldiers and police betrayed their oaths to the constitution to fight for a repressive theocracy against fellow US citizens who still call themselves Americans and practice democracy. This also contradicts most other depictions of Gilead's forces as either mercenaries or radicalized civilians, as they were in the book.
** Gilead's policies to deal with the fertility crisis are the same in both the novel and series; give all fertile women to the movement's leaders to serve as [[SexSlave sex slaves,]] and have any "Handmaid" who fails to bear a child killed or banished for supposed sins, never once acknowledging that most of the Commanders are likely sterile. They also ban most modern medicine and refuse to research scientific cures for infertility or use artificial birthing out of religious doctrine. In the novel, these are strongly implied to be as bad for the country's birth rate as they sound, but in the series, other countries acknowledge Gilead's practices as a NecessarilyEvil, and Gilead is able to trade fertile women for other resources and diplomatic leniency, meaning Gilead's policies are inexplicably RepressiveButEfficient.

* ''Series/{{Poirot}}'':
* AdaptationInducedPlotHole:
** A minor case in ''Literature/TheMysteriousAffairAtStyles'', but a plot point in the investigation involves the suspicious manner in which Lawrence insisted that his stepmother's death is natural, and his feeble attempt to suggest that Mrs. Inglethorp might have been ''accidentally'' (rather than willfully) administered due to an overdose of her tonic. When Poirot mentions this oddity, Hastings dismissed it as a common layman mistake, until Poirot reminds his friend that while Lawrence is not a doctor, he has a medical degree and is thus qualified as one. While this is true in the books, in the series, Lawrence ''is'' a medical professional, and he's working in the same hospital as Cynthia.
** The removal of Mr. Satterthwaite from ''Literature/ThreeActTragedy'' causes some slight changes to the progress of the investigation, which causes the eventual reveal to make less sense. In the books, Mr. Satterthwaite is the one who baits Poirot into being involved in the case (the others were quite reluctant to have him interfere), while in the ITV series, he's enlisted by [[spoiler:Sir Charles]]. The only problem? [[spoiler:Sir Charles is the murderer! Why would he ask for Poirot's help?]]
** The broad hint that Tim Allerton is gay and the removal of the friendships between Poirot & Tim's mother and Poirot & Rosalie Otterbourne creates a good-sized motivational plothole in the ''Literature/DeathOnTheNile'' adaptation. In the book, Poirot lets Tim off the hook for the theft of Linnet's pearls, as Poirot knows Rosalie Otterbourne and Tim are in love. It's established that Poirot feels sympathy for Rosalie over what she's gone through, and wants the two to be happily married. In making Tim gay, though, that removes the whole motive for Poirot to let Tim go, and worse, adds even more unnecessary cruelty to the TraumaCongaLine that Rosalie endures in the story.

In the book, Gray contacted a New Orleans homicide cop who investigated Kliner for murdering EPA officials to find out what the Kliner family was up to before they came to Margrave. That cop's name is on Joe's list, so he presumably told Joe about Gray's file.

** In [[Comics/TheWalkingDead the comics]], Woodbury was not well equipped to handle the ZombieApocalypse and the Governor desired to move his people to the much safer prison. The TV series reversed this, making Woodbury a sanctuary and the prison less secure. This makes the Governor's vendetta against Rick's group seem rather pointless, especially given that he was fairly reasonable in his first encounter with Michonne and Andrea. He did eventually get a more plausible reason for his hatred -Revenge on Michonne for [[spoiler: stabbing him in the eye and killing his zombified daughter]]- but this was only after the conflict between their groups was well underway, and it's also made clear that even if Rick handed Michonne over to him as a peace offering, he'd destroy the prison anyway ForTheEvulz.

The American redub replaced Barza with Zordon and cut out the prehistoric backstory, but forgot to explain why the Rangers and their mentor were obsessed with dinosaurs.dinosaurs.
*** ''A Pressing Engagement'': Jason, Zack and Kimberly are the first to fight King Sphinx, yet there's no explanation for where Billy and Trini are. Their ''Zyuranger'' counterparts, Dan and Boi, were already dispatched by Dora Sphinx by that point.

* [[Series/Supergirl2015 Supergirl]]: In [[ComicBook/ReignOfTheSupermen the comics,]] Hank Henshaw is a metahuman with the ability to possess cybernetic bodies, his favorite being a partially-roboticized clone body of Superman, and has a personal grudge against Kal-El for him failing to save his friends. After Superman's death at the hands of Doomsday, Cyborg Superman was one of many figures who attempted to imitate or replace Metropolis's hero. Thus, his common moniker of Cyborg Superman is both [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obvious,]] a by-product of debuting alongside Steel, Superboy, Man of Tomorrow, etc, and a way of mocking his nemesis. In this series, though, Henshaw is just an "ordinary" cyborg (injured fighting the Martian Manhunter, saved from death by cybernetic implants) with a [[AbsoluteXenophobe hatred of all aliens,]] yet he still names himself Cyborg Superman, even though he in no way resembles Superman (besides both having the common powers of super strength and durability), and should probably hate being associated with an alien (whom he otherwise has little connection to.)

** In the comics, the Supes are [[KickTheDog generally much more evil,]] but [[MegaCorp Vought]] much more powerful, and the Supes actually do very little heroic actions, so it’s plausible their crimes could stay out of the spotlight. In the show, however, most Supes are, at worst, [[AntiVillain Anti-Villains]] or [[PragmaticVillainy subtle in their evil,]] and Vought is portrayed as a more realistic powerful company, and so we see crime-fighting Supes get into trouble for brutality or violating due process in the public eye… except for the first episode’s ColdOpen, where Homelander confidently kills an already subdued criminal in broad daylight and isn’t even reprimanded by his bosses.

* In ''{{Series/Elementary}}'', Mycroft Holmes's restaurant chain is called Diogenes, as a MythologyGag to the literary Mycroft's SmokyGentlemensClub. Except that while it makes sense for a club for "the most unclubbable men in London" to be named after a famously anti-social philosopher, it's not clear why an up-market restaurant chain would take the name of someone who despised luxury to the extent of living in a barrel and not, say, Epicurus.

*** There were two [[SixthRanger Sixth Rangers]] in ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters'', the genius Masato Jin and his robotic partner Beet J. Stag, when they transform, it's more akin to having J transfering many parts of his body to Masato's Ranger form as armor, while revealing to always be wearing his Go-Buster suit underneath. In ''Beast Morphers'' though, their counterparts Nate Silva and Steel transform like any other Ranger in the team, without any transfer of Steel's parts to Nate, which would make to anyone that notices wonder why parts of Nate's Ranger form are also part of Steel.
