CharacterizationMarchesOnWick Check for CharacterizationMarchesOn

'''Why?:''' This trope is supposed to be about unexplained/unjustified changes to a character over the course of a work/series. Essentially EarlyInstallmentWeirdness for characterization. However, many examples seem to be perfectly justifed cases of standard CharacterDevelopment. Examples explicitly from the pilot of a series should likely go on NonIndicativeFirstEpisode or DroppedAfterThePilot instead.

'''Wicks Checked:''' 1/50

'''Wick Totals:'''

* Unexplained changes to characterization over the course of a work
* Standard CharacterDevelopment
* Other Use/Should be Another Trope 1
* Zero-Context/Unclear 2
* Unclassifiable

* [[Series/APBio Series.AP Bio]]: (Two examples, one here, one under ZCE) Stef and Mary are portrayed as much more overtly mean-spirited people in the pilot than they are anywhere else in the series, where they're consistently shown to be [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerks With Hearts of Gold]].
** '''-Should be NonIndicativeFirstEpisode or DroppedAfterThePilot instead'''

* [[Characters/OverwatchRoadhog Characters.OverwatchRoadhog]]: In the original ''Overwatch'', Roadhog's TerseTalker tendency meant that he doesn't that many voicelines, only having voicelines any other hero would have. ''Overwatch 2'' significantly increases the amount of lines he has while keeping them short and clear, making him come off as more quirky than he used to be. His interactions do vary with other heroes as well, he comes across as civil when talking to Brigitte rather than as aggressive as he is towards Pharah.
** '''-He's a TerseTalker who gets more lines yet remains a TerseTalker. Is possibly "more quirky"? Not sure that is enough to qualify based on what is written.'''
* [[Series/APBio Series.AP Bio]]: Grace is presented as being the most normal of Jack's students (to the point of verging into being TheGenericGuy) throughout the first season, but becomes ThePollyanna and a StepfordSmiler in the second.
** '''-No context is given for any of these character tropes or how the change plays out to know if it's unexplained.
