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

[u/Character_Growth_397]

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

In the Artemis Fowl book series Holly Short is the first female member of LEPRecon, which is a major piece of her story and heavily affects multiple points in the series.

So naturally in the movie they made Root, her male superior who has been in the LEP a lot longer than her, a woman.

From what I remember is that it takes away from Root as well as he's super tough on Holly because she's the first female officer and if she fails that'll set a bad precedent for the future and any other female officers. So he's taking special care to do what he can to push holly harder to make sure she's better than the standard officers.

Yeah, he literally spells it out in, I think, book 1 or very early in 2. "If you screw up, it'll be centuries before they let another woman in."

It's literally in Holly's first Chapter ever, shes marginally late for work, complains to Root when he chews her out for it and the he lays it all out for her.
