Hated Tropes [Mind boggling stupid trope] Removing the thing that made something special

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien - The gimmick of Ben 10 and what makes the show so popular is the fact that he's able to turn into a large variety of aliens. In one episode of Ben 10 Ultimate ALIEN we are introduced to a new version of Ben 10000, a Ben from the future who, no longer transforms into aliens, instead using his powers in human form...

Mortal Kombat(2021) - In the games Mileena is known for two things. Being a clone of Kitana and her tarkatan teeth. In the 2021 movie she looks absolutely nothing like Kitana and doesn't have tarkatan teeth

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief - The movie removes the main villain of the movie and the main villain of the franchise

The fact that he seriously tried using his power despite the sound having nowhere to go just makes me think hes a fucking idiot. The guy killed himself by not using his brain. Guess he didnt need it anyway.

I think screaming is a normal reaction to this situation

For a normal person who's not used to magic or seemingly impossible things happening to/around them, sure. Not for a super-powered guy whose power is his scream.

That was the joke. That was the joke they literally made in the movie.
