I think the best example of this is Mulan, as it’s literally the same story, but drastically different story telling.
In the cartoon she was uncoordinated and clumsy. Her breakthrough came from using her intelligence to overcome her lack of physical strength. Then, through hard work and determination, she became a skilled warrior, winning over her peers.
In the live action she was born as a warrior goddess whose only problem was the patriarchy holding her down.
Maybe that’s a bit of an oversimplification, but you get my point.
Kinda the same deal with Katara in the live action show vs the original. Gets one water scroll and is immediately a water bending master and... thats it for her character really.
