Lawful Stupid | |
| The Dresden Files / int_1e12b5b7 | comment |
Morgan in the books, while a good guy, was a Lawful Stupid Inspector Javert who watched Harry like a hawk waiting for the slightest excuse to chop off his head. This version doesn't trust Harry but wants to help the innocent too, which leaves them begrudgingly on the same side more often than not, while having a problem with how visible he makes himself, and the amount of kablooey his larger battles cause. Also, the not trusting him bit isn't purely because he killed Justin in self defense like in the books, but also because he was taught by Justin in the first place. This Morgan is far from Harry's biggest fan, but we go from "he broke a law, forget why he did it, Off with His Head!!" to "yeah, he mostly does what's right, but he's got no regard for The Masquerade, he was the student and relative of a Big Bad, and ye gods, the property damage! Keep an eye on this one." | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| The Dresden Files / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: A couple of cases. In the books Bianca is a high-ranking villainous vampire. In the show, she's much more sympathetic and she and Harry end up on the same side more often than not. Morgan in the books, while a good guy, was a Lawful Stupid Inspector Javert who watched Harry like a hawk waiting for the slightest excuse to chop off his head. This version doesn't trust Harry but wants to help the innocent too, which leaves them begrudgingly on the same side more often than not, while having a problem with how visible he makes himself, and the amount of kablooey his larger battles cause.

Eldritch Abomination | |
| The Dresden Files / int_8774fb47 | comment |
The skinwalker in the first episode is still a credible threat, but it's toned down considerably from the Eldritch Abomination whose mere existence is a Brown Note to Harry's magical senses that we see in the books. Notably, the episode aired two years before the book featuring them was released. | |
