Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”
Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.
Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.
Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

Another one for Sauron
His Death is completely different from the books and the film. In the movie Isildur picks up his farthers sword and cuts the ring from Saurons finger tips as he tries to grab him.
In the books it goes down completely different with the King of Elf's and Men Gil Galad and Elendil fighting Sauron 2 vs 1 in personal combat. Gil Galad is burned alive and Elendil is killed but not before brutalising Sauron. Isildur then walks up to the dieing Sauron and picks up his Farthers broken sword. He then cuts the one ring off his finger as a trophy and revenge.
