legolas effect

To give a character in an adaptation achievements that other characters were responsible for in the source material or that outright didn’t happen in an effort to boost the character

e.g. Legolas in lord of the rings, hermione in Harry Potter

hermiones wolf howl in the third film was so stupid, she doesn’t do it in the book, total Legolas effect

Anything that does not work, or things that can not be solved, will be solved by Vlad. Vlad is the Master of taking apart things, and fixing things that is broken. We could never survive without it.

Doom Effect

The "Doom Effect" occurs when a new electronic device, usually targeting consumers, is released and someone ports the id Software classic game DOOM to it. The only stated goal of doing so is to claim that DOOM can run on it. It is not done with the full intent that people will actually play the game on said device, just that it is technically possible.

The Doom Effect usually acts a marker for then next level of experimentation with said device.

is the practice of porting id Software's genre defining DOOM game to any new electronic device with a screen just to prove it it technically feasible.

"The Doom Effect was in full force with this port of DOOM to all Digita OS cameras."

or

"The Doom Effect struck again, porting the game to yet another unplayable device!
