I never really understood why it's called 'flanderisation' when Flanders has very little character to begin with and there are still episodes here and there that show that he is more than just christian spouting diddly
But then I never really watched simspons past 10 seasons

Then you wouldn't know. Flanders at first was a normal well to do nice neighbour; he even drank! Then they turned it into him being a far right fundie Creationist.

Joey from Friends

>lady killer who is almost as sarcastic as chandler
>becomes a moron and he LOVES food
>>
>>80627298
He was a foil for Homer: nice neighbor, loving kids, well maintained house, etc. Hell the origin of his fundie depictions have to do with the fact that he and his family diligently go to Church which was a reacurring gag with the early Simpsons with Bart wanting to listen to music and screw around and Homer getting bored at service. They kept the religious elements but removed the context of bart and Homer causing embarressment on Sundays so they made him a zealot.
>>
>>80627588
But then early simpsons had fucking ton of shit like that, which was dropped for other kind of character development
And all this stuff
> nice neighbor, loving kids, well maintained house
Still rings true after the character was made to be hardcore christian

Many of the characters on Archer actually became more fleshed out through like season 4. Then they started becoming flanderized. But even Archer himself became more developed into season 6. Only ones who really haven't been fleshed out really well are Lana and Pam. Pam was flanderized really quick, and Lana was always bland.

rewatching the earlier seasons, it's striking how much this has happened.
just having the tone be a lot more 'normal', jokes dont have to be so over the top to be funny or even shocking. if the premise is that the gang is mostly normal, you dont have to rely on crazy shit like the ponderosa wedding to still be funny.

Thats right... Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia actually takes place in Hell

That's not true. He could be pretty threatening in later episodes too. His aloofness in front of Jack is partly what makes him threatening. He's so powerful he can just toy with him

jack kicked his ass everytime they fought and aku had to flee

It's always been implied that Aku was a sort-of "self-serving" evil that was heavily impulsive.

The fact that he flung Jack a thousand or so years into the future is often overlooked.

In the time that's passed, Aku's been alone, aware, ruling with absolute power and most of all, bored and just doing shit for the fucking fun of it while maintaining his rule.

>By the time Jack re-emerged in Aku's future world, Aku's been through roughly 10-15 human lifetimes worth of character developments.

Aside from Peter in Family Guy, easily the most jarring and easy to observe is Modern Family. Every single character can now be boiled down to two or three different traits, and every episode is just different ways those traits are mixed together and stressed.

this
after throwing jack into the future as a last ditch gambit, and squashing the last remnants of human resistance outside japan over a couple hundred years probably, he's unopposed, unchallenged, and extremely bored. so he ends up fuckin around for a couple thousand years and stays in that malevolent hijinks personality once jack returns
he's lapsing back into the bored now, and he seems desperate for a challenge or even a whiff of jack doing SOMETHING interesting. jack finally gave him an evil purpose after thousands of years, then he just fucks off and aku has to cope with returning to his boring overlord lifestyle again

Did Parks and Rec actually reverse flanderize? Season 1 was fairly painful in how obviously that show wished it was le silly and outlandish like The Office. I felt 2 on really pulled them in and made them actual characters over bootleg Office cast.

They aired the first episode again directly before the last one where I am, 'to remind you of the journey'. Funny how the characters were like real people at the beginning, but not at the end.

It's not early when the argument is that Flanders was Flanderised by season 10, you drooling retard.
>>

does gargoyles hold up still?

Like were her (its?) legs inside the body at the start of the shot? Because it looks like they they sprung out like pistons.

Eric and Cory from Boy Meet's World.

it's alright

then again it's one of those "TMNT but with X" type of show

children can't appreciate subtleties though so whats the point, they just want the funny characters and colors
>>
>>80636001
Family Guy and Simpsons are exactly the same in how the main characters got flanderized, except instead of the daughter becoming the liberal mouthpiece it was the dog in Family Guy's case.

Chang obviously but that was just pants on head retarded.

>Least
Shirley because the stopped using her character

Britta and Peirce were hit really hard too. Abed is a totally different character in the end

Justified..consistent with its characters and their arcs throughout all 6 seasons..also notable for not having an 'escalation of danger' each new season like many similar shows had (until the 6th and final season atleast, but it made sense to wrap it up that way)

King of the Hill did a pretty good job of not flanderizing characters.
>>
>>80655820
Luanne became borderline retarded, Peggy became the worst mother in sitcom history, and Bobby became Gary Glitter: The Younger Years
>>
>>80641384
but that's wrong. his original character is borderline retarded
he was an uneducated, naive dumbass in DB
only when the plot shifted to be more serious and action-oriented in DBZ did they have him act smarter and more mature
you can accuse DB Super of being inconsistent, but the original Goku is dumb as fuck
>>
>>80655931
But almost all of those those thing we're true at the beginning of the series too.
>>
>>80656137
Too a much lesser degree. Luanne was simple but good-hearted, if White trash. Peggy was eccentric and obnoxious, but not completely devoid of empathy. Bobby was just a goofball and nice boy, he didn't literally act like a girl.
>>
>>80641384
that's toei's fault

in the manga he is pretty normal
>>
>>80656135
the difference is he was a fucking kid in DB up until the end, in Super he is at a point where is one of the strongest warriors around with a shitload of battle experience and training

yet, when confronted about his involvement in universal genocide, all he can say is "LOL UR MAKIN A FUNNY FACE LORD BEERUS XDDD"

Reminder that this is one of the best examples in recent memory of Flanderization being subverted.

They started letting girls who wrote fan fiction write the show.

A few characters on Agents of Shield.
Ward started as the generic snarky hero character, and then became one of the main villains, and kept morphing while he was the villain.
Skye started as le quirky hacker chicker and then turned into their main field agent.
Fitz was pretty much just "scientist guy" and has been overall the most badass character on the show due to his willingness to get the shit beaten out of him to protect his friends.

Arnold in Hey Arnold went from a fun loving kid in the first couple of seasons to the city Of Hillwood's chief problem solver later on.
Maybe it's just a phase.
Still my favorite cartoon.

I will choose Pam over Cheryl screentime anytime, though. Cheryl was a tryhard obnoxious cunt, but at least Pam had some heart for the people around her

There was this episode where the band goes on vacation to some indian shithole and they are so pampered they beath or eat for weeks. Horrible characterization and lousy writting.

Bubbles was basically the same from S3 onward
Ricky on the other hand went from a dimwitted drug dealer to a borderline retarded maniac
>>
>>80633186
>>80634396
I think he's referring to Dragon Ball Super, which threw out all the characterization out the door, barring Vegeta and a couple others.

Goku is a literal retard who is willing to destroy the universe for a chance at fighting a stronger person.

The last few seasons of Psych were fucking awful. It's really a shame.

Is it worth watching?
I would always see advertisements for it, but never felt compelled to watch.
>>
>>80626183
dunno if anyone said workaholics but workaholics
>>
>>80661266
Yeah, it's a pretty good show. It's nothing too special, but it's got its moments and the humor can be really good at times. I'd recommend watching a few episodes of it just to see if you like it at least. The last few seasons aren't worth your time though.
>>
>>80641259
That wasn't one of Flanders' earliest appearances though, not even close
>>
>>80636001
I disagree. If you don't like it, don't watch it you autistic fuck

In farscape crichton and stark both got crazier over time. With crichton this was a good thing but with stark it was awful. At the start he wasn't even crazy just pretending to be. But then the writers forgot the pretending part.

>>80666533
Stark was just bad in general desu
