Fan Casting Adaptational Comic Relief

Role added by jeremyelcuervo on September 7, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Adaptational Comic Relief:

This trope is often found in Derivative Works that are Lighter and Softer or Denser and Wackier than their source. This may also come from an Adaptational Angst Downgrade (if the character's more broodier traits are downplayed or outright extracted for comedy's sake), Adaptational Heroism and Adaptational Nice Guy, in which a character's more light-hearted personality removes any seriousness they originally had, though the opposite can apply for more darkly humorous works in which the character is portrayed as a Heroic Comedic Sociopath, made Laughably Evil, or both, often with a bad sense of humor.
