History Main / Flanderization

* ''Franchise/{{Rambo}'': John Rambo in ''Film/FirstBlood'' is introduced as a very conpetent Vietnam vet, but has a lot of personal package and while showing skill and brain, it takes him some time to defeat the local police. Starting with ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII'', Rambo becomes a hyperskilled OneManArmy and the definition of a classic ActionHero without the layers from the first movie.

* Actually {{invoked}} by the [[VideoGame/Portal2 Aperture Scientists]] in ''Fanfic/BlueSky.'' In their BrainUploading of [[spoiler:Wheatley]], they deliberately messed with his personality so that the part of him that produced terrible ideas would be dominant and would override other aspects of his personality in a crisis.

* The Website/GoAnimate "[[YouAreGrounded Grounded]]" videos have evolved into complete and utter BlackComedy over time thanks to this trope. Originally, the grounding videos were more or less parents grounding their kids and not really liking it at all. However, as time passed on, the grounding reasonings got more and more ridiculous and, thanks to people like Issac Anderson, the creator of "Punishment Days", became more violent, with the characters changing to fit the mood.

* The Website/YouTube user WebAnimation/{{Benthelooney}} has suffered this in his videos. Originally, on his old [=PuffyZillaman4=] account, he was consistently calm and laidback, despite several rants. However, enter later half of 2010, and he becomes a lot more loud and aggressive in tone. This is possibly to add effect to his rants however. Another thing that has been flanderized about him, is his opinions. For example: In his "Nickelodeon" salute, he didn't exactly say he hated ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', but he didn't think that it aged well, but it was good for nostalgia purposes, but in a later video, he says he hates it, and that it's not even good for a "nostalgia trip" and was baffled that many people his age love it. The same could be said for his opinions on ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' and ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''. To add to this, he has received another Flanderization, when it comes to his opinion towards Pixar. In his older videos, he enjoyed their first couple of movies but wasn't too happy about their later ones and Pixar winning the Oscars. Now, it has gone to the extreme, of him actually hating Pixar, and thinking that they have ruined {{animation|AgeGhetto}}. He has expressed hate for them in several comments. He even flat-out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtOcX0wEbVE ranted]] on Pixar (He [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PFHL8cPqys apologized]] for it later). However, in occasional videos, he realizes this and tries to go back to his 2009-2011 persona in occasional videos. Ben Tannehill (the web-show's creator) himself is pretty much the opposite of the character himself in real-life, as he is actually very nice.

* Miranda of WebVideo/MirandaSings started out as a fairly believable StealthParody of amateur singers on Website/YouTube who are deluded about their talent before her singing, fashion sense, and [[SmallNameBigEgo overall attitude]] slowly started getting more and more over the top. Compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ElsCCsXJE& this]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLZROveHzFY this]]. Colleen Ballinger, the creator of the character, says she was deliberately exaggerating whatever traits were most derided in the comments section in order to make her more annoying. And due to PoesLaw, some still seem to not immediately get that she's a fictional character.
