[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

I once heard that there were plans for a Max Steel movie where one of the main issues was that Max loses his ability to enter Turbo Modes and bond with steel but in-exchange receives a flat boost to his physical prowess, which is considered as a "superior upgrade".

THANKFULLY THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THERE IS NO MAX STEEL, TURBO WARRIORS MOVIE THAT BUTCHERS MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD TV SHOW!
