The Power of the Eye of the Agamotto.
It's a bit like the case of Nick Fury. Ultimate Marvel makes a change to a classic character, this change is then incorporated in the films, the films make it so popular, that eventually the main character also takes the change.
As for in-universe... didn't Tony Stark got a mind-wipe during Dark Reign or something like that? We can easily say that this also altered his usual behavior.
He uploaded all the secret identities of the heroes in the registration act into his head and then deleted his memory so that Norman Osborn couldn't get to them. They then reset his memory from before Civil War as a lame way to excuse Tony's actions during it as "he doesn't remember doing that."
I loved Fraction's run on the book but that part was pretty dumb.

The Fraction mindwipe was probably cuz he liked the idea of Tony's mind slowly deyeeting and then having to catch up to all the stuff that went down. If it was really a ploy to absolve him of Civil War responibility or consequences he wouldn't have had the T-Man straight up tell Thor he'd do it again ejdnndmsmsmsjdns
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
I can't believe they made Alfred skinny. Such a blatant cash grab.
Seriously, changing things to match a more popular medium has been going on since the beginning of time.

Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
The most brutal changes were the introduction of Nick Fury Jr, the complete transformation of Shuri and the changes to Magneto’s kids. Carol Danvers origin is up there too because it seemed they changed the character based on the trailers.
Hickman said it best (and I paraphrase), comics should almost never adjust to the movies, it should be the other way round. Obviously with movies being more popular than comics some elements will filter in but wholesale changes to existing characters shouldn’t be a thing. The Shuri thing for anyone that’s read Black Panther will leave you confused and wondering what happened to the original Shuri. Especially when the most recent version of the character in Coates run had gone all spiritual in outlook and ability.
The GotG one is the one that irritates me. The tone of the comics, the stale roster. Thankfully Cates and Ewing seem to have righted the ship.
Wanda and Pietro

Synch's Aura
Northstar and Aurora's shiny hair
Spider-Woman’s cowl costume
"Infinity Wars" (in plural; not Starlin's one). An absolute nonsense of a comic that should never had existed... except because Marvel badly needed to have something titled "Infinity War" or similar in the shelves that year.
Wanda and Pietro not being mutants anymore, done badly and only to appease a notorious sociopathic suit...
Not that Fraction really did much with it post-Dark Reign but I think I recall him saying he would have done the same thing he did during Civil War despite not remembering it (of course he's also shown as being really regretful about what happened, so take from that what you will).
I think it just depends on the level of impact and the character in question. Sometimes it's harmless and mostly cosmetic, other times you're completely changing a character to match a depiction that just doesn't really work with their character history.
