In the show, he goes to Braavos to beg for money, then apparently leads a huge army against Mance, interrupting peace talks, and Mance ends up surrendering to save the lives of more people. The changes essentially turn Mance into the hero rather than Stannis.
Perhaps vilified is too strong of a word, but Stannis is definitely given the opposite treatment that Cersei and Tyrion get.

Thank you. And then he rapes Illyrio's whore and thinks about raping and killing Cersei as well. Also Tyrion and Jaime leave off on horrible terms when he tell him about Tysha and he tells Jaime about Cersei and her having sex with everyone. Lest we forget.
