The pal remarks that while he likes the movie too, the book is much better. Wait -- there was a book!? Adaptation Displacement is the phenomenon where a Derivative Works becomes successful enough to totally displace the original in the minds of the public. Can apply to the adaptation of any one medium to another, but tends to happen more to little-known books adapted into successful movies or television shows. However, even sources that were popular at the time can disappear in the shadow of a successful adaptation. In ongoing media, surrender to Adaptation Displacement can result in Ret Canon and Lost in Imitation. Compare Older Than They Think, Popcultural Osmosis, More Popular Spinoff. Covered Up and Breakout Pop Hit are the musical equivalents. Contrast with Ink Stain Adaptation and First Installment Wins. The Weird Al Effect is when a parody of the original displaces it. Sequel Displacement is when sequel is much more known than original and often thought to be the first installment. Something of a subjective trope, since it all depends what your personal and cultural fields of reference are. Age and date of birth tends to shed light on fields of reference. Just because there must be some people who are more familiar with the adaptation than with the original doesn't make it an example. Examples of Adaptation Displacement include:
