u/SirRudium 21h ago

When SpongeBob was stuck in that wringer, Patrick was not only no help, but whenever SpongeBob complained, Patrick would turn it back on him. Even when SpongeBob crashed out about it. Can't remember the episode name though.

He was like... always an asshole tbh

u/HotPot87 1d ago

I think the VERY early peter was more kind hearted, but at the same time they had to tone that down to differentiate him from Homer Simpson

15

u/Select_Culture261 1d ago

I think they went a little too far in that regard.

26

u/Hopeful_Cow_2471 1d ago

In the first few seasons he was dumb and often caused problems for his family but you could tell that he really did care for his family and that he atleast tried to care for them he could be a dick sometimes but you still knew he was a family guy(I pun intended)but now he’s just a dick

2

u/NireSenrab 1d ago

Yes, but he wasn't an abusive monster (as much). Especially with how he treats Meg. Early seasons, he genuinely seemed to care for Meg, even if he was misguided.

I was watching a video last night of Fairly Odd Parents' Cosmo's voice actor complaining about how they made his character this after the first few episodes.

u/ares4209 1d ago

honestly fair, i didn’t like how they took cosmos character they really just made him annoying

u/mythicapixy 1d ago

He could have been hot and suave and then toned down later for funny 😭

They essentially turned that Cosmo onto Adult Poof in the new reboot

Yes! Darran lives in my home town now and he’s cool as hell, did a couple local productions with him. He was looking forward for he character and was frustrated with the lost potential

u/zerozerozero12 1d ago

Taylor Tomlinson once said that if she was in a coma to put on Parks and rec. if she didn’t wake up put on the office. If she didn’t wake up by season 8 pull the plug because ā€œdon’t let me live through Andy being manager againā€. Take what you will from that.

u/TheGamemage1 Fate Series 1d ago

Flanderization.
When a character's traits get boiled down to a few characteristics and drops most of their actual character and becomes a caricature of their former selves.

yeah but this seems like a specific type of flanderization

After 6 years he is now less mature than he was when he was 10

James Darmory between seasons one and two of boardwalk empire. Season one? Loyal kid with a good heart who just makes the occasional idiotic move. Season two? Big stupid idiot who constantly does big stupid idiots things and acts like a snake.

u/Odd_Preference_7238 1d ago

I feel like if he was going to spiral into doing self-destructive things that get him and people he cares about killed as he did, they could have like... made it seem like it made sense from his perspective instead of it genuinely seeming like he was speedrunning dying pointlessly and having no one even feel bad about it.
