History PlayingWith / AdaptationalBadass

** The adaptation is a [[FanWorks derivative work]] of the "WhatIf" variety, and the circumstances Alice is put in are such that she starts to both [[GrewASpine come out of her shell]] and [[TookALevelInBadass starts to crack open the shells of her enemies]]. It [[TropesAreNotBad may]] or [[TropesAreNotGood may not]] involve a PossessionSue plot.

** Alice is the KidAppealCharacter of the franchise, and as such the MoralGuardians swear they will raise such a stink the movie will become a BoxOfficeBomb if Alice does something they perceive as violent.

* '''Defied''': The author of ''Legends of Troperia'' forbids his work from being adaptated to any other medium.

* '''Enforced''': "The women's rights groups will grouse if Alice is a wuss in this movie. We've gotta make her more awesome."

* '''Exaggerated''': Alice spends 99% of the book either being kidnapped or being rescued from being kidnapped. In the film, she's a OneManArmy.

* '''Inverted''':
** AdaptationalWimp - Alice was a competent fighter in the book, but she's an overrated and completely ineffective FauxActionGirl in the film.

* '''Zig Zagged''': The film opens with Alice kicking ass, but it's AllJustADream - and stays that way. But in the AnimatedAdaptation, she's a b

* '''Zig Zagged''': The film opens with Alice kicking ass, but it's AllJustADream - and stays that way. But in the AnimatedAdaptation, she's a bonafide BadAss.

* '''Reconstructed''': In-Universe: Alice in real life approved how her fictional self was portrayed a lot better than in the original iteration. The movie was much better than before.

%%* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???

* '''Deconstructed''':
** Fans of ''The Legends of Troperia'' react badly to the director's decision to turn Alice into an ActionGirl. As a result, the movie bombs at the box office.
** The filmmakers' decision to turn Alice into an ActionGirl shows that they [[TheyJustDidntCare didn't read the source material or just skimmed it]]. This lack of attention shows up in other aspects of the film such as SpecialEffectsFailure. As a result, the movie is a flop.
** People had a mixed feeling on this, while Alice is objectively Badass ''and'' better than before, she's not well-known as one in the original events. Because of this, the movie had a moderate rating.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Fans eventually warm up to Alice's new characterization, which helps the movie adaptation become more well-received with time, allowing it to become a CultClassic. It's even possible that the source material is inferior to the movie adaptation.
** Many more people open up to Alice's superior characterization, and not only the movie was better because of it, people now questioned how ''source material" got it wrong.

** No matter the adaptation, Alice is a frail ShrinkingViolet.

* '''Averted''': The director of this movie is well known for giving characters a level in badass when he makes adaptations, but for this movie he decided to keep more closely to the source material.

* '''Discussed''': "So, we should capture Bob and ignore Alice?" "No! The ShrinkingViolet always [[TookALevelInBadass Takes A Level In Badass]] for the movie! Capture her too!"

* '''Parodied''': In the book, Alice is a [[FragileFlower painfully shy]] 8-year old IllGirl who wears a [[PinkMeansFeminine pretty pink dress]], carries around a [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals stuffed toy]], [[SweetTooth loves eating sweets]] and [[BabyTalk talks like a baby]], while in the film, Alice is an adult {{Nineties Anti Hero}}ine who wears [[HellbentForLeather black leather]], carries around a {{BFG}}, [[SmokingIsCool loves smoking]] and [[SirSwearsALot swears like a sailor]]. The [[SugarBowl setting]] remains the same though.

* '''Exploited''': The author wanted to include more "dark" aspects to Alice in the book, but couldn't due to time constraints. He sees the movie adaptation as the perfect chance to include those abandoned aspects.

* '''Exploited''': The author himself wasn't very satisfied with the way he characterized Alice in his own book. He uses the movie adaptation as an opportunity to include aspects of Alice's character that he always wanted to put in his own work, but couldn't.
