Fan Casting Adaptational Ugliness

Role added by matiasramonsanchez on January 12, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Adaptational Ugliness:

The opposite of Adaptational Attractiveness, this trope is when a character who is conventionally attractive (or described as such) in the source material is made less conventionally attractive in the adaptation. This may be done in the case of villainous characters to make them more Obviously Evil, or in general it may be a case of Ability over Appearance if it's decided that an actor uglier than the character in question can play the part well. Another reasoning for this is that they didn't get it right in previous adaptations, especially for live-action ones.
