His role in the movies is clearly associated to the more contemplative moments, while in the manga he is instead used as Comic Relief most the time.

Batou is also turned into a quiet, bitter man with his own philosophical doubts, instead of the goofy, happy dumbass he was in the manga.

Ironically enough, the first movie briefly reverses this evolution, as she behaves a bit more similar to her initial manga version when she is given a child body after the encounter with the Puppet Master (although Innocence shows she has otherwise retained her stoic new personaliy). This resembles the Character Development she receives later in the manga after her encounter with the Puppet Master, only that here it is shown to be her natural state, possibly caused by the experience of her cybernetization. In the manga, she is an immature, juvenile hustler with a wild personal life and a great rapport with her underlings, while the movie makes her a depressive, introverted philosopher of few words who only seems to trust Batou (and not to a large degree). The biggest change is Major Kusanagi herself.Adaptation Personality Change: Played to a extreme degree, and with several characters.Adaptational Angst Upgrade: The Major is is a lot more downbeat and existential about her situation than she is in the manga.Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: A lot, as this is an Oshii staple.They don't fit together very well, especially when occasionally even the characters are turned into CG. Far more jarring, since it constantly flips between early 90's style animation and 21st century CGI.

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 likewise contains somewhat jarring bits of CGI.According to Oshii, the CG sequences were supposed to tap into the Uncanny Valley. In Innocence, while the CGI and animated elements meld together, the transition between a fully CG landscape and one containing a mix of animation and CG is very apparent.
