As with the Roger Ebert quote above, what works on the printed page doesn't necessarily work on the screen, which is another major reason that things in the story get changed.

* ''ComicBook/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' is entirely hand drawn as fully replicating the show's trademark MediumBlending would be almost impossibly difficult for a single comic book artist. The ''3D'' characters are drawn with more details and shading.

* AgathaChristie's ''TheMousetrap'' was based on her short story "Three Blind Mice''. In the latter, the victim suffers DeathByRecognition, exchanging dialogue with the murderer before being killed. The stage adaptation omits the murderer's lines, as they could not be delivered even from off-stage without revealing the murderer's identity.

* ''Fanfic/BreathOfTheWild'', an [[SimilarlyNamedWorks identically titled]] fanmade novelization to the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild game of the same name]], mostly [[AdaptationDistillation distills]] the game's extraneous elements, but does use a little bit of this to allow the story to move smoothly. The three biggest examples are as follows.

** The scenes of Mrs. Bradley explaining what she went through at the radio station are cut from the story, due to the author finding the PR less important than the conflict with the homunculi.

* ''Fanfic/AnotherJourney'': The author of the fanfiction makes several changes from the overall plot of Brotherhood to make it fit better with the story. Several examples include:
** Instead of waiting until late in the plot to explain the Ishval Civil War, the conflict is explained to Ed (and the reader) one chapter after Scar's first fight against the Elric brothers. A similar occurrence would come later when Hohenheim would give his backstory to Rosé, Izumi, and Sig one chapter after it's revealed he and Dante knew each other, in order to give a more grounded reason to reveal it rather than choose a random time.
** Rather than having Lust attack Hughes in the middle of the archive room and risk exposing herself (thus ruining the point of a conspiracy), Hughes is found out by Misery (This story's take on the 2003 anime version of Sloth and still going by Juliet Douglas at the time), who pretends to be on Hughes' side and lures him into a trap by telling him to use a phone booth outside while secretly sending Envy to deal with Hughes.
** The author notes that there were a lot of scenes with coincidences in the original source material, so he tries to cut these down by adding some justifications to the scenes in question. For example, while Bradley finds Greed by sheer luck in the manga/''Brotherhood'', he instead actually manages to track down Greed in Dublith and was send by Father to capture him as well as make sure no harm comes to the Elric brothers.
** The Reverse Transmutation Circle that would use Alkahestry to counter Father's ability to cut off access to Amestrian alchemy is revealed not long after the heroes are able to decipher the notes written by Scar's brother, whereas the source material would not reveal this countermeasure until after it's put into effect. This is used to give the heroes a solid plan earlier on in the story and build up tension to the final battle. Hohenheim's countermeasure is still foreshadowed and only revealed after Father activates his nationwide transmutation circle.
** Rather than have the Briggs army fight against Central Soldiers for several episodes to capture Central Command, which led them to come off as traitors as many of the soldiers are unaware of their superior's treachery, General Armstrong instead exposes the Senior Staff's true nature to all of Central Command with an EngineeredPublicConfession, with Hakuro confirming everything they heard, and encourages them to fight for what's right, allowing them to capture Central Command far more quickly than in canon while reducing unnecessary casualties. The Mannequin Soldiers are also AdaptedOut, so the only real obstacle the heroes have to get through are the remaining homunculi.
** Rather than have Buccaneer hide behind the dying Fu's body in order to stab Bradley, the author instead has Buccaneer sneak up behind Bradley while the latter is focused on Fu about to pull his TakingYouWithMe attempt and stab him from behind, because the author finds it implausible that Bradley would fail to see Buccaneer behind Fu, especially with his Ultimate Eye.
** Dante serves as a CompositeCharacter for the Gold-Toothed Doctor as the homunculi's main human ally, partially because the Author finds the nameless doctor a living plot device rather than a true character since the source material never explains who he is and why he serves the homunculi willingly, whereas Dante has an established backstory and motivation to explain her allegiance to the homunculi.
