Well, it's understandable considering that the comic was really not for kids at all. A more comic-faithful adaptation probably would've been more acceptable had the film been rated PG-13. It's nothing to do with that, rather, Disney Animations iteration of Baymax is just far better than Marvel's. He looks more unique and memorable. That's true. We never seen a robot like that before. Nobody's ever tried it, I don't think.

But, I will be honest and say there is one change from the comics I did NOT really like that much. It was Fred's. Though I will admit this is probably due to the fact, much like Fred, I am a big Kaiju fan myself (things such as Godzilla, Gamera etc). It just felt like a missed opprotunity.

Fred drastic change was intentional for two reasons...

1) None of the characters are magical. All their powers are from science. In order for Fred to have believeable science powers, a Kaiju suit was the best option for him.

2) Because Fredzilla is a homage to Godzilla, it wouldn't really fit Disney's Fred's character. He's a relaxed and bumbly guy. Godzilla is far from relaxed and bumbly. Well, in that regard, that sounds fairly sensible.
