Line #25 AdaptationAmalgamation/ComicBookFilms


1	Many comic book movies [[AdaptationAmalgamation blend story elements]] from a few different storylines involving the characters, with varying results. Straight/100% faithful adaptations of storylines are fairly uncommon, especially with {{superhero}} comic books.

10	* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'':
11	** The ''Ninja Turtles'' movies of TheNineties (especially [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 the first one]]) were primarily adapted from [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the original 1984 Mirage comics]] (the first movie mostly adapted the ''Raphael'' one-shot special and the first issue) but also included elements of [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the 1980s animated show]] (logo, LighterAndSofter approach, [[ColorCodedCharacters color-coding]] of the turtles and April O'Neil being a reporter and rescued by the Turtles from street punks).
12	** In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'', April is a reporter like in [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the 1987 cartoon]]. She also [[spoiler:knew the turtles and Splinter before they mutated,]] like in [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIDW the IDW comics]]. The Shredder is also far more imposing, like his Super Shredder form in ''[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze Turtles II]]'', and wears an armored suit like in [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the 2003 cartoon]].
13	* ''Film/JudgeDredd'': Elements from a bunch of different arcs are mashed together, including ''The Return of Rico'' (Dredd's corrupt twin brother Rico returns from a prison colony to get revenge), ''The Day the Law Died'' (an insane and tyrannical senior Judge seizes power), ''The Cursed Earth'' (Dredd traverses the bombed out territory outside the city), ''The Judge Child Quest'' (Dredd encounters the Angel family), and ''Oz'' (Dredd thwarts a plot to conquer the city with an army of clones), greatly condensing their stories.

16	* ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'':
17	** ''Prisoners of the Sun'' (1969 animated film) combines ''Recap/TintinTheSevenCrystalBalls'' and ''Recap/TintinPrisonersOfTheSun'' under the latter's title, although it should be noted both albums belong to the same story arc.
18	** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Adventures of Tintin\|2011}}'' (CGI animated film) combines the plots of ''[[Recap/TintinTheCrabWithTheGoldenClaws The Crab with the Golden Claws]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinTheSecretOfTheUnicorn The Secret of the Unicorn]]'', and a bit of ''[[Recap/TintinRedRackhamsTreasure Red Rackham's Treasure]]'' into one unique plot.
19	* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'':
20	** ''WesternAnimation/AsterixVersusCaesar'' combines the plots of ''Recap/AsterixTheLegionary'' (Asterix and Obelix signing up for the Roman army to rescue Tragicomix, with the addition of Panacea having to be rescued as well) and ''Recap/AsterixTheGladiator'' (Asterix and Obelix traveling to Rome and becoming gladiators, again to rescue someone, in this case Tragicomix and Panacea).
21	** ''WesternAnimation/AsterixAndTheBigFight'' is mostly an adaptation of ''Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer'', but it mixes in Getafix's amnesia from [[Recap/AsterixAndTheBigFight the album]] the movie's English language title was named after.
22	** ''Film/AsterixAndObelixTakeOnCaesar'' (live action) combines plots from several comics, including Obelix getting a crush on [[SheIsAllGrownUp Panacea]] as he did in ''Recap/AsterixTheLegionary'', the phony soothsayer from ''Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer'', the {{Druid}} conference from ''Recap/AsterixAndTheGoths'', Getafix's [[KidnappedScientist abduction]] by the Romans to make the [[SuperSerum magic potion]] for them from ''Recap/AsterixTheGaul'' and the characters fighting in GladiatorGames like in ''Recap/AsterixTheGladiator''. There is also a number of smaller references from other comics, including a conversation between Brutus and [[UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar Caesar]] that is taken from ''Recap/AsterixAndCleopatra'' and the BigBad, Lucius Detritus is partially based on Tullius Detritus, the main antagonist of ''Recap/AsterixAndTheRomanAgent'' (Tortuous Convolvulus in the English translation of the comic).
23	** ''WesternAnimation/AsterixAndTheVikings'' adapts ''Recap/AsterixAndTheNormans'', but adds an extra arc in which Asterix and Obelix visit the viking village, which comes from ''Recap/AsterixAndTheGreatCrossing''.
24	** ''Film/AsterixAndObelixGodSaveBritannia'' adapts ''Recap/AsterixInBritain'', with elements of ''Recap/AsterixAndTheNormans'' thrown in.
25	* ''Film/ValerianAndTheCityOfAThousandPlanets'' combines story elements from two ''ComicBook/{{Valerian}}'' albums, ''Empire of a Thousand Planets'' and ''Ambassador of the Shadows''.
