The changes to Chapman in this are something I've never really liked, actually. I mean, this doesn't just make him into a jerk - it makes him into someone willing to sell out the entire planet. That's like A-grade villainy right there.

And for me, what I always really liked about Chapman was how everything with Melissa really humanised him. The sacrifice he made for her made him into a tragic hero. And so making him into such a massive tool...it really takes away from that, I feel. I could buy him being a bit of a tool as a kid, who matured and grew up later. But from signing away everyone on Earth? That's a bit much, really. I would have vastly preferred that Chapman just remain a normal, ordinary guy who is willing to sacrifice his own freedom for his daughter.

Chapman's behavior here seems to be evil for the sake of being evil.

(I tried to post and it didn't work... or did it?)
