History AdaptationalModesty / WesternAnimation

** In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', Starfire's outfit shows her midriff as well as some ZettaiRyouiki, but it's positively tame compared to the beyond-Emma-Frost-level {{Stripperific}} outfits of her comic book counterpart.

* ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' marks the introduction of the Goblin Queen, whose {{Stripperific}} comic outfit is retooled to fit the TV-14 age rating. The costume itself becomes more of a bustier, and while her cleavage is visible, the {{Underboob}}s are removed.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'':

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Jinx's outfit; while it's still revealing, it isn't as revealing as the bikini top, shorts, and single stocking she wears in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''. It's also [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as the length of the TimeSkip between Acts 1 and 2 is ambiguous, meaning that she may be 18 at this point in the story. Her redesign also helps her fit the aesthetic of the setting better, given that her default attire in the game fits a more modern day aesthetic than the {{Steampunk}} aesthetic of Piltover and Zaun.

** Carmilla, when she isn’t depicted as disembodied head, in the games is at the very least always rocking a NavelDeepNeckline plus other {{Stripperiffic}} attire as a sexy vampire lady or is even completely naked, depending on the game. In the Netflix show however Carmilla is covered up in a modest dress and shoulder pads. In Season 4 Carmilla has a more sexualized outfit that bares her legs and [[NavelDeepNeckline cleavage]], although it’s still tamer than a lot of Carmilla’s outfits ([[FullFrontalAssault or lack of outfits]]) from the games.
** Trevor in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse'' has a [[BarbarianHero Cohan the Barbarian-esque outfit]] same as his great grandson Simon. In the show Trevor is fully clothed, though later games such as ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'' would also depict a more covered up Trevor, so the animated series likely just borrowed design choices from those titles instead.
** [[HotterAndSexier Averted]] in Season 3, which makes a lot of the risqué stuff from the games look as tame as ''VideoGame/KidDracula '' in comparison. [[spoiler: It's made clear Trevor and Sypha are making love, Hector and Lenore have explicit sex and Alucard has an explicit threesome with Sumi and Taka, though unlike former example, the two latter scenes get nastily subverted with Lenore [[TheVamp enslaving Hector to her will]] and Sumi and Taka are just tricking poor Alucard and try to kill him]].
** Also [[AdaptationalSkimpiness inverted]] with Alucard’s Season 4 outfit, in the games namely ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' he wears an 18th-century jacket with a cravat around his neck along with a cape. In fourth season Alucard keeps the cape but also wears a open shirt, very similar to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] to show off his pecs and stomach.

** Livewire, in both the comics and [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries the previous Superman cartoon]] that [[CanonImmigrant she originates from]], dresses in a leotard with a lightning bolt shaped NavelDeepNeckline and thigh high boots. Here, she dresses in more conservative clothing such as tactical gear and technologically advanced armor for combat. This is rather justified by the AdaptationPersonalityChange she's received for the series: unlike her traditional counterpart, this Livewire isn't an AttentionWhore and is trying to keep a low profile, so it makes more sense for her to wear clothing that isn't designed to catch people's attention.

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'': The character posters reveal that Amy’s dress is modified, dumping the open back and lowering the flair on her skirt, and Rouge has a brand-new outfit that shows no skin, and a smaller bust.

* ''WesternAnimation/ATaleDarkAndGrimm:'' In the books, Hansel is at least shirtless as a werewolf and explicitly NakedOnRevival. In the cartoon, he's fully-clothed as a wolf and has inexplicable underwear when he's cut out of the wolf skin.

** Taking a cue from other modern adaptations that base it on Tim Drake's original costume, ComicBook/{{Robin}}'s outfit includes pants rather than his traditional green shorts. He does revert back to the original Dick Grayson shorts in the aforementioned 1980s sequences, but isn't bothered by it like Starfire.

* Whenever Gamora appears in animation, such as ''WesternAnimation/SilverSurferTheAnimatedSeries'' and the WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverse shows (''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'', ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' and ''WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH''), she's more covered up, the ''Silver Surfer'' having her in a full body suit and the latter series having her skimpy bikini-like outfit replaced with a leotard. The ''WesternAnimation/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015'' TV show just reuses Gamora's outfit from the movie, which carries into subsequent appearances in the other ''Marvel Universe'' shows.

** In a prior ''New Teen Titan'' short for WesternAnimation/DCNation, Mad Mod transformed the Titans back into their 1980s incarnations. Starfire's outfit was once again more modest than what she actually wore in the comics, but was still skimpy enough that she covered herself up in embarrassment.
