Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones and Harry Potter in front of a TV
Summary It is impossible for any movie or TV adaptation to adapt every single detail from the original source to the new one. It is unrealistic, for example, to expect 100% of the complexity of the Dune books to be included in the Denis Villeneuve movies. However, sometimes, entire characters are omitted in the adaptation, which is a change on an entirely different level.
9 Krillin - Dragonball Evolution Krillin Plays a Crucial Role In The Franchise Dragonball Evolution was an incredibly disappointing live-action adaptation of the Dragon Ball franchise, both critically and commercially. Of the criticisms leveled at the movie, one that stood out the most was its disloyalty to the source material: the Dragon Ball manga and two anime series.
7 Thom Merrilin - The Wheel Of Time Season 2 The Character Only Appeared In The Wheel Of Time Season 1 Thomdril "Thom" Merrilin was a pretty important character in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time book series. He also appeared in season 1 of Prime Video's TV adaptation, portrayed by Alexandre Willaume. Thom is a gleeman who, in the books, is depicted as mostly kind and considerate, if a little short-tempered.
While Arwen does feature in the books and is a very important character in the movie adaptations, excluding Glorfindel from The Lord of the Rings has deprived audiences of one of the coolest characters Tolkien ever wrote. Omitting Glorfindel, with his extensive wisdom and experience of Middle-earth, was not a worthy sacrifice for changing the introduction of Arwen. There is whiplash from meeting Arwen as Frodo's savior to discovering that she had been a love interest of Aragorn's.
While it was a nice touch in The Hunger Games to provide the pin with its roots in District 12, Madge's omission from the adaptation makes Katniss' acquisition of the Mockingjay symbol a rather impersonal gesture. Besides her family and Gale, Madge is one of the few people in the books that Katniss has waiting for her in District 12, making the pin a metaphorical way of the two friends staying attached to one another.
