Basic Trope: An adaptation tones down a character's Fanservice.
- Straight: Amazing Alice had a Stripperiffic outfit in the comics. In The Movie, she has a full-bodysuit.
- Exaggerated:
- In the comics, Amazing Alice was only wearing some Barely-There Swimwear. In The Movie, she has bulky metal armor from head to toe that makes it difficult to tell that she's a girl just by looking at her.
- Amazing Alice was a permanently fully naked Shameless Fanservice Girl in the comics who went into all fights as a Full-Frontal Assault. She is a Lady in a Power Suit in The Movie.
- Downplayed:
- Amazing Alice was an actual stripper in the comics. The Movie makes her into a Family-Friendly Stripper.
- Alice's new outfit covers up her chest but shows even more leg.
- Justified:
- Amazing Alice's characterization in the comics was that of a Shameless Fanservice Girl. The Movie altered this and made a costume to reflect this characterization.
- Amazing Alice's costume works well in a drawn comic book or animation, but The Movie is a live-action adaptation. The costume wouldn't stay on if made to be comic-accurate, so a more reasonable costume was made instead.
- Amazing Alice is given an animated adaptation, and her outfit is simplified to ease the animator's workloads.
- The adaptation took place when Amazing Alice was still a teenager.
- Inverted: Adaptational Skimpiness.
- Subverted:
- It looks like Amazing Alice has gotten a more modest costume when she enters battle, but she strips it off and reveals a more comic-accurate costume.
- The reason her outfit was less revealing was that Alice was fourteen when she started her heroic career and her mother encouraged her to get a modest costume. After a Time Skip to when she turned eighteen, she put her foot down and got a more revealing costume like she originally wanted.
- Double Subverted:
- ...then she realized it was too cold for the costume, so she went to get a costume with more coverage.
- However, after the switch, she didn't like the extra attention she got from the costume, so she went back to a more modest outfit.
- Parodied: Amazing Alice was a stripper in the comics. The Movie turns her into a nun. And not a Naughty Nun.
- Zig Zagged: Amazing Alice outfit is less revealing, but she wears revealing clothes as her civilian identity more often.
- Averted: Regardless of how accurate to the source it is, Amazing Alice's costume still shows off just as much skin as it does in the comics.
- Enforced:
- This adaptation of Amazing Alice is supposed to be Tamer and Chaster, so her outfit was modified accordingly.
- Amazing Alice was originally an anime where Alice was fourteen when she was wearing a Stripperiffic outfit. The Movie is a Western adaptation and didn't want to have a fourteen-year-old going around in such an outfit, thus the outfit was changed.
- Alice's actress refused to play the role unless she got a more modest outfit. Since the producers thought she'd get more money at the box office if she was in it, they didn't have much choice and gave Alice more coverage.
- Amazing Alice started off as an indie webcomic on the author's blog where nudity was common since there were no real rules against explicit content. Then the author started experiencing with an Animated Adaptation, which had to cut out all the nudity in accord to the rules of various video-sharing websites.
- The Hays Code went into effect just after the book's release.
- Lampshaded: Alice has full Medium Awareness and notices that she's wearing a lot more than she did in the comics."Oh, thank God! I didn't get a bunch of perverts designing my outfit."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Amazing Alice has full Medium Awareness, but she actually liked the skimpy outfit. So, at the first opportunity, she starts making a more comic-accurate costume. Or, she gets a lot of Clothing Damage every time she goes into battle.
- Discussed: During a comic book storyline about an In-Universe movie:Alice: I don't know why they had to put me in more clothes in my movie. I like my outfit just the way it is.
Alice's actress: Well, unlike you, I don't like running around half-naked. Maybe you could take a few tips from my costume designers.
Alice: Who are you? My mom? - Conversed: ???
- Implied: A modestly dressed extra is implied to be Amazing Alice.
