Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })We have a member of the supporting cast. They're important to the plot. Sure, they fall Out of Focus at times, but they're still pretty relevant to the proceedings for the most part. But then comes the sequel, an adaptation or The Movie, and... hey, where'd they go? They weren't completely written out, but they just weren't good enough to keep what importance they had in the original. The character's fanbase will complain, while everyone else may just accept it as the new status quo. Opposite of the Ascended Extra; instead of a background or one-off character becoming a key member of the supporting cast, a key member of the supporting cast becomes a background or one-off character. Also contrast Spotlight-Stealing Squad, which can also cause this to happen; that said, there may not be anyone in particular that takes these characters' screentime, and the presence of a Spotlight Stealing Squad doesn't mean no one else is plot-important anymore. In works where Anyone Can Die, supporting characters fated to die may end up demoted to extra before their deaths. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This trope is for characters who become unimportant to the story, but are still seen or mentioned occasionally; for characters who disappear completely from the story as if they had never existed, see Chuck Cunningham Syndrome for when they disappear from the original work and Adapted Out for when they never appear in the adaptation. Super-Trope to Demoted to Comic Relief and Demoted to Satellite Love Interest. Compare Shoo Out the Clowns, Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer, Not as You Know Them, The Artifact, Out of Focus, What Happened to the Mouse?, Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, and Commuting on a Bus. Contrast Ascended Extra, Breakout Character, and Ensemble Dark Horse. |

Good luck finding a decent Shiori figure from Kanon. At least Kyoto Animation did her arc justice, and her falling out of the public eye might be because she doesn't have a "seven years ago" connection and is just a normal Ill Girl. In the 2002 anime, she, Makoto and Mai all fell victim to this, having their arcs squished into one episode each with key portions removed. | |

Finding Dory: Crush and Squirt have even less screentime than in the first movie, and the Tank Gang only appear in a scene after the credits. Any of Mr. Ray's students who had speaking roles in the first film are silent, aside from Kathy the Chicken Fishnote you know, the "OH MY GOSH! NEMO'S SWIMMING OUT TO SEA!!" fish from the first film. |

We Are Our Avatars: Dee. Shortly after 3Dee's introduction, she would usually only say anything whenever Cupid was involved or during introductions and would tend to sleep the rest of the time. And then Rachel Elizabeth Dare appeared, which pushed Dee's speaking appearances back down into "pretty much nil" territory. You just can't win, can you? Dee got better, leaving Osaka's Other to fall into this territory; she was a pretty major character in her first appearance very early on, but lost most of her screentime to Dee and 3Dee in her subsequent appearances, due to her writer's preference for the desdroids. Dee eventually left due to relations in and out of character spiraling out of control, causing Dee to leave. Protoman appears a lot less, but Etheru is trying to give him more appearances. Gandalf is usually this. Justified in that he's an old man(despite being undead) that uses powerful magic. Deviot. Ever since his first appearance, anyway. He has a few moments, but rarely interacts with The Group. Princess Zelda. She's still in the party, but she doesn't do much these days and usually only gets a couple lines here and there to remind the players that she still exists. |

In Toy Story: The Musical, R.C. Car, who played an important role, even later in the film, only makes an appearance in one scene, unlike the film. Of course, before Woody can use R.C., Buzz notices the remote control to R.C. that Woody has, and then, Woody accidentally makes the lamp fall, which causes Buzz to fall out of the window. After this scene, R.C. is not seen again, thus causing a plot change later on, where instead of Woody going back to get R.C. and Woody failing to use the match, but directs the sun's light to the fuse of the rocket that Buzz is attached to, Buzz tells Woody to grab onto him and prepare for liftoff, while one of the mutant toys uses the match to light the fuse, and both Woody and Buzz sing "To infinity and beyond!" and then fly off into the sky. | |

Kano and Minagi in AIR. Everything from merchandise to posters to, well, the backstory of the game makes it clear that this is Misuzu's story. Therefore, their routes are just there so the game can't be accused of having no variety — and when you think about it, if either of them wins, then the incarnations of Kanna will live and die in loneliness and pain for all eternity (especially with Kano's "good" ending). They were completely removed from the movie adaptation, and their arcs were shrunk to three episodes each in the Kyoto Animation version. They do each have one good figure, though. One. | |

Several characters have this happen to them in Transformers: The Movie. Bluestreak, Sunstreaker, Huffer, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Bombshell appear in cameos with no lines, Shockwave appears in two scenes and is implied to die, Shrapnel and Kickback are reduced to Butt Monkeys and then rebuilt, Mixmaster, Scavenger and Long Haul do not speak, Blitzwing gets one scene for himself, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet and Windcharger are killed off and Sludge, despite being a major character, has no lines. Spike and the three major Autobots who survive the movie (Bumblebee, Jazz, and Cliffjumper) have more minor roles. Perceptor and the four other Dinobots (Snarl mysteriously receiving this treatment) are the only pre-movie characters to do much of anything in the post-Autobot City scenes. Even Optimus Prime is only around for the first half of the movie. Plus, some characters don't appear in the movie at all, leaving their fates uncertain. | |

On the Fastrack used to star Bob Shirt, but compared to the other characters, he was boring. For many years now, he has appeared almost exclusively in ensembles — the only exception being him complaining about his reduced role at Fastrack.

Kickassia: LordKat, one of the more well known and prolific contributors to That Guy With the Glasses fell into this in the second anniversary special Kickassia, due to Reality Subtext: he sprained both ankles during filming. Handsome Tom also had this happen to him, relegated mostly to posing as Kickassia's flagpole. This was lampshaded in one of the "making of" videos, where Doug passes out the script and apologizes to Tom for having him be "an object". Tom takes it pretty well, pointing out that objects are useful. The other contributors have also said that Tom's okay being in the background because he doesn't think he's an especially good actor and is there mostly to have fun. |

In Les Misérables (the book), Combferre and Courfeyrac are the Enjolras's second and third in command of Les Amis de'l ABC. In Les Misérables (the show), they're shunted off to the side in favor of Marius and Grantaire, who receive much more attention. In the book, the Bishop of Digne is given at least a dozen chapters to explain his life in Digne and establish what kind of person he is, and presumably keeps in contact with Valjean, as the latter receives a letter when he dies. In the show, he is introduced in "Prologue/The Bishop", not even given a name beyond "The Bishop", and never seen again. Justified, in that spending that much time on a character whose effect on the work can be summed up in under ten minutes would completely wreck narrative flow (not that that ever stopped Victor Hugo). |

Dilbert 's transition from slice of life absurdism to office satire meant the more fantastical characters were marginalized (Ratbert, Bob the Dinosaur, Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light) if not eliminated altogether (Zimbu the Monkey, Dawn and Rex). There's also Mordac the Preventer of Information Services, who went from a regular recurring villain to appearing infrequently. | |

Sister from Red vs. Blue. She brought the ship to Blood Gulch, and her arrival leads to the Reds discovering the underground caves. After that, she gets shuffled around from the Red team to the Blue team and finally to just bumming around with Doc, by which time she's barely seen. She appeared once or twice in season 6 and disappeared until the last two episodes of Season 13, playing a minor role in Seasons 14 and 15 until she joined the main cast again in Season 16. Sister suffered from all her personality traits being stuff that could not be done though machinma by Roosterteeth at the time. Anytime she is doing something, she ends up being off screen while the other characters comment on it, and that only goes so far. Wyoming also suffered this. In the Blood Gulch episodes, he was one of the primary villains, alongside O'Malley; oftentimes accomplishing his objectives. But despite his role in those episodes, he is rather unimportant in the prequel portions of Seasons 9 and 10. Word of God is that this is due to his goofier personality clashing with the more serious tone the Freelancer bits have. |

Sesame Street: Susan (Loretta Long) was part of the series' original human cast and remained a major character for almost 30 years, until around the late 90s when she was gradually phased out. By the 2010s, she only appeared in one episode per season; she made no new appearances in season 43, and in the 44th and 45th seasons she was reduced to just a background extra. Many of the other human cast members have suffered similar fates in recent years including Bob, Luis, Maria, Gordon and Gina. Jim Henson and Richard Hunt's deaths also resulted in most of their minor characters being phased out from Sesame Street. In recent years, a handful such as Henson's Guy Smiley have been recast to new performers and make sporadic new appearances. This also often happens to human characters to gradually phase them out of the show so that viewers don't notice their absence too much when the actors eventually leave. Other times characters are demoted because the actors may only be available to film a few episodes in each season. For those of you who haven't noticed, the only puppet characters remaining from as early as the first season are Grover, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Oscar and Kermit. In fact, even Kermit's role have been reduced incredibly compared to the early days, almost to where they don't appear much at all. (This is at least partly now because Disney Owns This Frog; they can use old Kermit scenes but new ones are more complicated.) Interestingly, back in the second season, there were plans to phase Kermit out, as a commercial character, in favour of Sesame-exclusive characters like Herbert Birdsfoot. (Who? Exactly.) In recent years, a decision to downsize the number of principal characters has led to other Muppets, including Baby Bear, Bert and Ernie, Count von Count, Prairie Dawn, Snuffy, and Telly Monster, taking a noticeable backseat. |

Pocahontas: In the sequel, John Smith of all people suffers from this. He appears in the first scene of the movie, then doesn't get any more real screen time until very late. Justified in that he was presumed dead for most of the movie as a plot point, is revealed to be a cloaked figure in the middle of the film, and resumed an important role towards the end. A few other characters suffered this worse, namely Chief Powhattan, Nakoma, and Grandmother Willow, as they only appeared in the beginning before Pocahontas left for England. In fact, Grandmother Willow only appears in one scene in the entire movie for about a minute. |

In The Wiz, an all-African-American musical of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Toto doesn't accompany Dorothy to Oz, instead only appearing during scenes set in Kansas. This was likely due to difficulties with training a dog. This doesn't apply to the 1978 movie loosely adapted from the musical: Dorothy gets whisked to Oz after completing her search for a runaway Toto, resulting in both of them going to the place together. | |

While not big players in the opening arc of Superman/Batman Public Enemies, Lois Lane, Starfire, and Katana did have lines. In its animated adaptation, they do appear, but don't speak, with Lois Lane only appearing in the end. It's especially notable in Katana's case since in the comic, she was allied with Superman, Batman, and Power Girl. | |

Master Shifu in Kung Fu Panda 2. He gets a couple of brief scenes at the start, then sends Po and the Five on their way while he remains in the Valley of Peace until the very end when he does a Big Damn Heroes bit. Justified in that his character arc was mostly done with by the end of the first movie and someone had to watch the Jade Palace. Thankfully averted with the Furious Five, who appear much more this time around, and all of them actively help Po out throughout the film. | |

In Search of The Titanic: Both Maltravers and the Duke of Camden; the former only appears in three scenes, never interacts with the main characters, and has little purpose in the movie; while the latter only gets to appear in one scene and doesn't even get any dialogue. Elizabeth herself counts too. She mainly just appears in the background, has maybe 5 lines, and is only really featured in the beginning and at the end. And she was practically the main character in the first movie! |

Retail had a shake up in 2012 where Stuart, the store manager, was promoted to district manager, with his assistant Marla taking over his old spot. While Stuart still shows up, he doesn't appear as frequently these days. Since 2015, however, Stuart began making more frequent appearances, either by talking to Marla by phone, or through his store visits. | |

Luann was initially a comic largely about the titular character and her classmates and family. Once Brad, her brother, started becoming more and more important to the strip, gaining his own storylines, most of the teenage cast was downgraded significantly. Even Luann's best friends Bernice and Delta rarely appeared, to say nothing of poor Knute and Crystal, themselves Satellite Characters of others. Things moved to a pattern: Brad and Luann would alternate focus each week. Luann's storylines tended to alternate between using her parents and using her friends. Every other month we usually get a week focusing on Gunther and Knute. The transition to college has oddly seen Brad and Toni move to the background (often barely appearing at all), with Luann, Gunther, Bernice, Quill and Tiffany being the major characters. Crystal and Knute now almost never appear, and Delta has moved away and disappeared. Then after breaking up with Luann, Quill disappeared altogether as well. The storylines now alternate between Luann (with Bernice), Gunther, and Tiffany. |

The Muppets: Rizzo the Rat and Kermit's nephew Robin only appear in crowd shots. Their reduced roles were acknowledged in Muppets Most Wanted. Dave Goelz's characters (Gonzo, Bunsen Honeydew, Zoot, Beauregard) get very little to do here. At first this seems a bit bizarre, since Dave is one of the only puppeteers from The Muppet Show era still performing his characters consistently but when one realizes Goelz had shoulder surgery just before filming began, his characters' reduced roles makes sense. Pepe. He was featured pretty prominently in some of the trailers, but it turns out most of that footage came from the one scene he was in that remained in the final cut. |

The priest who plays a minor part in The Most Happy Fella played a considerably larger role in They Knew What They Wanted. Whereas in The Most Happy Fella he silently approves of Tony's resolution to have "plenty bambini" by his wife-to-be, in They Knew What They Wanted he objects strenuously to Tony taking a non-Catholic wife, in return to which Tony accuses the Church of coveting his inheritance. | |

Noob: Relic Hunter guild is quite essential to the franchise-wide Wham Episode, but their purpose of being the Noob guild's Griefer is the only reason they are ever seen after that. Arthéon gets a gradually diminishing role, first by being kidnapped in Season 2 of the webseries, then due to Real Life Writes the Plot. This has resulted in his character being treated as a secondary role in the upcoming movie material. |

SMG4's Mario Bloopers: After the text font changed (starting with "The Warrior and the Hobo"), X started only making a few appearances in later bloopers, with Starman 3 taking his original place. Mejiacantillogustavo had a fairly major role early on, but in later episodes he only appears as a background character. In-Universe example: Bowser was demoted to co-villain in "Two Evil Friends" because his evil plans constantly failed, and SMG3 was made the main villain. |

Fun fact for Frozen fans. The lead characters from The Snow Queen were named Gerda and Kai. So where are they in the movie? Why, they're servants to Anna and Elsa, of course! Though they don't really resemble the original characters in any way except for their names. Their actual roles in the story were given to Elsa and Anna (who also double as the Snow Queen and - to a lesser extent - the Princess respectively). | |

Spill: Carlyle has stopped appearing in reviews, the last one with him being Clash of the Titans, only showing up to do ACOCO until eventually leaving that as well. This is actually because he has two other jobs reviewing movies and was burning out, so it was his own choice. A good chunk of the LEOG went from regulars to Support League status on their own volition. |

Dee. Shortly after 3Dee's introduction, she would usually only say anything whenever Cupid was involved or during introductions and would tend to sleep the rest of the time. And then Rachel Elizabeth Dare appeared, which pushed Dee's speaking appearances back down into "pretty much nil" territory. You just can't win, can you? Dee got better, leaving Osaka's Other to fall into this territory; she was a pretty major character in her first appearance very early on, but lost most of her screentime to Dee and 3Dee in her subsequent appearances, due to her writer's preference for the desdroids. Dee eventually left due to relations in and out of character spiraling out of control, causing Dee to leave. |

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Ganke Lee, Miles's roommate and Secret Keeper in the comics is still his roommate, but spends most of the film ignoring Miles via Headphones = Isolation, and doesn't have a voice actor even when he does react to the plot. | |

Kimono My House-era Sparks bassist Martin Gordon was annoyed when he saw the final album pressing, as on the back the planned band photo had been replaced with a large colour photo of the Mael brothers, with him, guitarist Adrian Fisher and drummer Norman "Dinky" Diamond being relegated to smaller, black-and-white portraits. | |

Faline's role in Bambi was decreased compared to in the original book. Faline is Bambi's cousin in the book and has a twin brother named Gobo who was Adapted Out. In the books, Bambi and his cousins meet often as fawns and spend a lot of time together (especially after their mothers start distancing themselves from their children after being weaned). In the film, Faline and Bambi meet once and don't meet again until they're adults. Faline and Bambi's courtship is also given more depth in the books, as is the process of Bambi distancing himself from Faline which was left out of the film. | |

The Jungle Book: The wolves, despite their prominent role raising Mowgli in the original book, only appear at the beginning of the original film and do not appear at all in the sequel or spin offs. Akela in particular: easily one of the most important characters in the book, here he appears for only a single scene and winds up being incredibly forgettable (he also gets a key appearance in an episode of Jungle Cubs however). Bagheera in the sequel. Though he's one of the most important characters in both Kipling's book and in the original movie, in the sequel he's barely involved in the plot and only shows up to get beat up a lot. Hathi has one scene in the sequel. |

Slinky's role in Toy Story 3 is much smaller compared to his part in the first two films; he is a background character for most of the movie and his only real standout scenes are helping Woody defeat the Cymbal-Banging Monkey, as well as briefly jumping across the trash chute to the dumpster before being thwarted by Lotso. This is possibly due to him being The Other Darrin after his original voice actor Jim Varney's death. | |

After the 9/11 attacks, The Boondocks became less of a slice-of-life comedy strip and commented more on world news. It takes few to commentate, so the strip neglected everyone except Huey, Riley, Granddad, Caesar, and Tom. Eventually a few characters were brought back, though Jazmine was mad that Huey wasn't worried about her while she was gone. | |

From the original CLANNAD game we have Yukine, who, much like poor Sacchin, was originally planned to be one of the main heroines. And in After Story, anyone whose last name isn't Okazaki or Furukawa gets shafted in terms of the spotlight halfway. Also Kappei. He was a pretty important character in the original visual novel, but never appears in the anime, EVER. |

Due to the large cast of Video Game Championship Wrestling, there are some characters that basically only show up in Royal Rumbles or Tag Team matches. A good example is Bowser, who went from being the one who finally overthrew Ganondorf's "1000 Years of Darkness" reign as champion to being an afterthought for a while. Other aren't even that lucky and get Put on a Bus. | |

SuperMarioLogan: Tony the Tiger was originally a major character, but his appearances got fewer and fewer as time went on. Princess Peach was Mario's original girlfriend, but broke up with him because she found out he was bald. Things went From Bad to Worse for Mario as time went on, as Peach saw him as an annoying Stalker with a Crush and sent him a five-mile restraining order. Since Mario started dating Princess Rosalina, Peach's appearances became fewer and fewer, one of them being "Mario's Valentine's Day Problem!", wherein Mario has to choose between dating her or Rosalina. Before Brooklyn T. Guy got back from the bus and became a recurring character, Officer Goodman was the guy who would often be seen working different jobs. Since Brooklyn started making more appearances as of "Bowser Junior's Summer School Part 5", Goodman doesn't appear as often nowadays, demoted to only being a news anchor. Shrek and Black Yoshi were also originally main characters, but their appearances became fewer and further between since Jeffy, a handicapped child, was dropped off at Mario's apartment. Even Mario himself isn't immune to being this, as he was originally the main star of the show before Bowser Junior became an Ascended Extra. As of "Mario the Babysitter!", most episodes involving him are about Jeffy. |

This is sort of explained in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (and elaborated upon in Pooh's Grand Adventure): He's started school. While the Disney version doesn't seem to be attending boarding school the way his book counterpart is implied to be, it's still reasonable to presume that he isn't around as much because he's busy with schoolwork. | |

This happened to a number of Peanuts characters: Shermy, Patty, Violet, Freida, Pig-Pen. For example, in the 1980's and 1990's, Patty (not to be confused with the more prominent Peppermint Patty) appeared in a total of three comic strips. Word of God said Patty and Violet got the shaft because Lucy worked better as a female bully character, so it would be too redundant to have all three of them featured prominently. In the latter half of the 1990s this had happened to nearly the entire cast. By the end of the strip's run, the focus had boiled down to four major storylines: the misadventures of Rerun (with Snoopy or Lucy acting as the Straight Man depending on the plot), the day-to-day life of Snoopy's desert-dwelling brother Spike, the travels of Snoopy's other brothers Andy and Olaf, and Charlie Brown and Franklin (who had essentially replaced Linus) talking about life while leaning on a brick wall. Charlie Brown's sister Sally would occasionally get her own Sunday strip, but the other characters (particularly Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and the already-mentioned Linus) rarely appeared. |

Satsuki from Tsukihime is the center of the meme "Isn't it Sad, Sacchin". What makes Satsuki's lucklessness worth a section here, is that it even extends here, on TV Tropes. This trope was originally named "Isn't It Sad", after the meme in question. With the wiki's shift to less esoteric titles, Sacchin was—you guessed it—demoted in importance once again. She has since been demoted again; for a while, she was still the page's image, but she's since been replaced. Really, the only reason this page isn't a Self-Demonstrating Article is because putting it on the appropriate index would be a Promotion FROM Extra. | |

To Boldly Flee: Handsome Tom had three lines, one spoken three times, in six episodes. In the commentary, other cast members said he was to have gotten a slightly bigger role, but he begged off, saying "I'm just here to have fun" and doesn't think he's an especially good actor. Benzaie and Suede are also reduced to off-site cameos, probably because they live outside the US and couldn't make the shoot that year. Spoony, compared to his roles in Kickassia and Suburban Knights, had this happen to him, serving a much more passive role as a semi-comatose Distressed Dude instead. Justified in this instance as his actor, Noah Antwiler, put most of his acting chops into The Dragon Terl. Similarly, Linkara is MIA for most of the story, but the actor is prominent as Linkara's villainous robot double. |

Ithilrandir fell prey to this for a while in The Massive Multi-Fandom RPG —only appearing once in a blue moon, apparently eternally lagging kilometers behind the group and only popping up to remind that he exists, then going Out of Focus again (his player was having problems finding time to RP). He since recovered. | |

Dino Attack RPG: Atton Rand introduced a number of NPCs during the Adventurers' Island story arc, resulting in his own primary character being taken out of focus in favor of stories focusing on the various medics and Kate's efforts to fit in with the team. While technically they do have a significant part in the story, the four official members of the Dino Attack Team have barely appeared in the RPG. Libo, who once appeared frequently in the Dino Attack RPG, has barely been seen or mentioned, especially following the idealist-realist debate. He was finally revealed to have had a Bridge Dropped on Him (literally). |

Christopher Robin was originally the star of the Winnie-the-Pooh books; in the poetry books he appears often and has several poems dedicated to him (as opposed to Pooh, who only appears in one poem in When We Were Very Young and only appears occasionally in Now We Are Six), and while he was moved Out of Focus for the Pooh stories he remained a central character. In the first Disney featurettes he was also a major character, but in later productions he got smaller and smaller roles, quite often being left out entirely. This is sort of explained in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (and elaborated upon in Pooh's Grand Adventure): He's started school. While the Disney version doesn't seem to be attending boarding school the way his book counterpart is implied to be, it's still reasonable to presume that he isn't around as much because he's busy with schoolwork. The out of universe reason is that Christopher Robin was a real person, and he had never been fond of the way he was portrayed in his father's books, even when he was a child. Up until his death, the real Christopher Robin was very picky about his portrayal in Disney's animated works. |

Surprise, Haruki, in Setsuna's True End of White Album 2. He does this on purpose, as he realizes (rightly for a change!) that intervening directly would just make the situation more difficult than it already is. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Of the six Signer Dragons, Red Dragon Archfiend and "Life Stream Dragon" are the only ones not to be featured as a Cover Card nor a Ghost Rare. Instead, this card's "Assault Mode", "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" is featured on the cover of Crimson Crisis and is the Ghost Rare of the set, while "Majestic Red Dragon" is the Cover Card of Absolute Powerforce and is the Ghost Rare of that set and "Life Stream Dragon's" Machine counterpart, "Power Tool Dragon" is the Ghost Rare and cover card of Raging Battle. Brohunder hasn't been released in the OCG, yet. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: The original Twilight Sparkle — her native human world version (who was alluded to in the original movie and made a cameo in The Stinger of the first sequel) gets a major role in the film, and causes the portal between both worlds to be sealed. After the entire plot plays out and things go back to normal, the original Twilight only crosses over to the human world in the film's last moments. Flash Sentry has been pushed further into the background as the movies have progressed, most likely due to the backlash he garnered as a Satellite Love Interest. Snips and Snails, who had a major role in the first film and a comedy role in the second, and Trixie, who had a notable cameo in the first film and a major role in the second, have no lines in Friendship Games and only briefly appear in the background. |

Assassin, Shinji and Zouken in Fate/hollow ataraxia get much smaller roles than they did in Fate/stay night. Well, Assassin had a small role anyway. The latter two probably get smaller roles because the game as a whole is lighter in tone and they were two of the darkest characters. | |

In My Little Pony: The Movie (2017), The Cutie Mark Crusaders who had speaking roles in the TV Series were silent. Although, Apple Bloom was credited as she could briefly be heard in the pony choir during the song "We Got This Together". Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were not credited at all. They all three had minor roles in this movie. | |

The Little Mermaid: Prince Eric has a recurring role in the TV series, is a supporting character in the second film, and makes no appearance in the prequel. King Triton in the sequel. Max the Sheepdog has minor roles in the sequel and TV series. He makes no appearance in the prequel. The little mermaid's sisters in original The Little Mermaid story appear several times and even help her. In the Disney film, they only briefly appear (though they're given more screentime in the prequel film, cartoon series, books, and comics). |

In the Transformers Generations "Combiner Wars" line, Groove, who previously formed one of Defensor's limbs is now an accessory to him as a Legends-class figure. About a year later, Hasbro released a Deluxe Class Groove figure for people who wanted to have their Defensor figure be more G1 accurate. | |

Several characters in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. Unikitty, Benny and Metalbeard are now tertiary characters at best, President Business appears just at the beginning and end (though it's kind of justified by him being based on Finn's father, who doesn't appear at all this time), but Vitruvius and Bad Cop have it even worse: both have been reduced to silent cameos that last a couple of seconds. | |
