History PlayingWith / AdaptedOut

* '''Defied''': Bob retains a memory of Alice from the book, and creates her using magic.

** Bob's neighbor Charlie [[CanonForeigner doesn't exist in the original book]].

** A DeletedScene from the original work is fully integrated into the adaptation.

** [[TheGhost Alice is mentioned]] exactly once, but never appears.

** The movie can't adapt more than Chapter 1 of the {{Doorstopper}} that is ''Bob's Adventure'', Alice didn't enter the story until Chapter 3

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice played an important role, and without her Bob is not able to defeat Emperor Evulz.

'''Basic Trope''': A character is at least somewhat significant in the source material, but is entirely omitted from an adaptation.

** Alice is a member of a minority, but the source material was created several decades ago and [[Valuesdissonance portrays her in a way which would be considered offensive today]]. Removing the problematic elements means cutting large chunks of her storyline and making her ''not'' a member of a minority could lead to accusations of "____washing". As a result, the decision is taken to remove her from the adaptation altogether.

** Alice is a something other than a regular human, or is a human with very unique features. As such, adapting her into a film would be very difficult, expensive, and prone to SpecialEffectFailure. Altering her appearance to make her easier to film might anger some of the book's fans, potentially leading to TheyChangedItNowItSucks. For these reasons, the director feels it is best to simply leave her out.

* '''Justified''': The movie is set in an AlternateUniverse, in which AliceAndBob never met. It is possible that Alice was never born in said universe.

The descrition and examples of the trope were cut from the [[AdaptedOut main version.]]

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice was originally in the timeline of the film, but was erased from existence.

%%* '''Reconstructed''': ???

%%* '''Played For Drama''': ???

** ''[[ScreenToStageAdaptation Bob's Adventure: The Musical]]'', based on tbe movie where Alice was absent, adds her back in.

Back to AdaptedOut

** Alice is a something other than a regular human or is a human with very unique features and adapting her into a film is very difficult and prone to SpecialEffectFailure, so the director feels it simply best to leave her out without a much bigger budget.

* '''Enforced''': "We want [[AdaptationDistillation a considerably shorter adaptation]], without all those [[MindScrew confusing plot points]]. After all, [[RealLifeWritesThePlot we don't have time to film them]], and they'd make the film [[PragmaticAdaptation longer than two hours]] anyway. Let's omit Alice and make Bob single."

* '''Parodied''': Alice appears in TheStinger, [[NoFourthWall ranting to the viewers about not being part of the movie's story]].

* '''Parodied''': Alice appears in TheStinger, ranting to the audience about not being part of the movie's story.

* '''Parodied''':

* '''Parodied''': In the original adaptation, Alice was such TheScrappy in-universe that whenever her name is uttered in the movie, characters shudder and/or react uncomfortably for "unknown" reasons.

* '''Parodied''': ???
