* '''Justified''':
** The adapters have to simplify, expand on, or change the story to make it into a movie, and Bob's motives and AntiHero tendencies are too complex to be filmed.
** Bob is combined with the more sympathetic Carl. The resulting CompositeCharacter has Bob's name, appearance, and mannerisms, but Carl's heroic personality.
** The book had a good idea but was poorly written, making Bob look ineffectual, boring and unrealistic. The movie polishes up the book's rough edges, including Bob's role as the hero.
