Which cartoon character change made YOU rage quit? Let us know in the comments! For more cartoons, check out our playlist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNqTg9KWr9HNc3k.html

Patrick Star’s change was absolutely disappointing and upsetting. He went from a kind-hearted doofus to a mean doofus. That made me sad and angry.

I like seeing NON-THOMAS RELATED channels talk about the show in-depth! It makes the show feel more represented!

I really appreciate Edward being on this list , his changes in the later model series are so bad , also seeing skarloey and Rheneas on this video

Brian does that over and over. As soon as he gets any money or fame he abandons any semblance of morals, then only apologises and goes back when he’s lost it

Flanders always was an extremely religious man. Flanderization refers to how a complex character became oversimplified and reduced to an exaggeration of his main traits. Flanders always was extremely religious in every version of the character.

I’m not surprised that some Thomas characters like: Edward, Skarloey and Rheneas were thrown on the list. Even though Thomas wasn’t a cartoon back then, they’re really good examples of bad character change.

This list: *_exists_* The writers of each respective shows: Am I out of touch? No, it's the "children" who are wrong.

Yeah they really threw out all of Timmy Turner’s character development and turned him into a selfish brat with a loud obnoxious squeaky girly voice, he had excepted that one day he would grow up and lose his fairy godparents but this was ruined in the later seasons by twice making it so he never loses them.

Bens transformation didn’t surprise me too much. He went five years without being a hero, then became a hero again and slowly grew cocky over time. He did the same as a kid. All the family guy characters just took a nose dive for me.

The problem comes from not retaining writing staff. Writers are MORE important than actors.. they tell the story as it unfolds. Replace anyone and the story changes. A generation raised on group projects should understand that concept.

I was shouting "What!?" in excitement when I saw Edward. Was not expecting to see my childhood here

Ben's personality becoming more like his 10-year old self WAS NOT because of the writers, it was because of the Network(CN) wanting better ratings. Unfortunely for them, the ratings did not increase and Ben kind of stayed the same .

So in a nutshell, creators change a character into a complete jerk as an excuse for more writing material.

It’s really sad when writers get so lazy they take the easy and safe way out

Out of all the Total Drama characters Courtney had the worst character derailment out of the whole cast.

Bloo’s character change in Foster’s was the one that really triggered me.

Edward, Skarloey and Rheneas’ portrayals in the Hit Era are the ones I definitely hate the most.

Yeah i'm very sick of how they changed Brian's character. I bought every season up to 7 or 8 and barely even watch it at all anymore. Plus the sudden hate relationship between lois and peter

Personally, I love all these shows. But one big complaint I have with Foster home for imaginary friends is Bloo. He is so selfish and mean to everyone, even to friend Mac. He was ok in the first season but as show would progress he gets so bad that I wish Mac would’ve left him. And even with that I doubt he’ll be upset. Now I get what the creator wanted to do with him by making the conflict in most episodes, but not to the point of making him so hateable that even Rigby from regular show looks like a saint compared to him. What makes characters like Rick from Rick and morty or Bojack Horseman great examples of lovable jerks is that yeah they’re jerks but we learn so much about them and given so much layers that it’s pretty hard for me to hate them but instead makes me love and care for them as characters. Bloo is just a jerk for no reason, even when people help him he can be ungrateful. But other than that it’s a good show, could’ve been a masterpiece if it wasn’t for Bloo.

With the Fairly Oddparents, you'd have a hard time finding a major character that wasn't extremely Flanderized. In early episodes, Wanda was a little smarter than Cosmo but was still "half of a whole idiot", Timmy's parents were dense but they still cared about his well-being, and Vicky was evil, but she still feared getting caught/ blamed. In later seasons, Cosmo (somehow) got dumber and more childish, Wanda became the "nag", Timmy's parents wouldn't care if Timmy died right in front of them, and Vicky controlled her parents with an iron fist.

As for Ben's derailment in "Alien Force", blame the writers on that. I read somewhere that they decided to make him act more like his 10 year old version from the OG series, as to appeal to the original audience. And clearly that worked like they hoped it would.

The list is the very definition of what isn't broke, DON'T CHANGE IT!!!!

Man I hate how they treated the PPG reboot. Seriously I was so done!

I’m not surprised to see Edward on this list.

Felt good hearing George Carlin as the narrator again.

When I saw Thomas the tank engine original seasons 1-7 one of the characters I loved was Edward since he was the meaning of experience, but when I saw him in the hit era they've turned into a fragile senile who is treated like he's is always weak and not wise

"When I grow up I want to be a principal or a caterpillar. I love you Principal Skinner" - Ralph

Brings up Courtney Me: We don’t talk about Ezekiel

Damn, never knew Thomas and Friends got hit twice

Well, The Powerpuff Girls will have another departure when the CW shits out their "Dark and Gritty" continuation.

To be fair, in Fairly Odd Parents, his reasons was that he didn't want to lose them for emotional reasons.

Although I was small when I watched Thomas, can totally agree with all the characters chosen for this list

Ok be honest. Who else was surprised to find out that Timmy’s real name is Timothy and his middle name is Tiberius?

Did not expect to see any Thomas & Friends characters but I’m glad I did!

Spongebob really should've just ended after the movie.

Timmy Turner: Yeah I used to feel for this kid earlier on. With the worst parents ever who neglect and do stuff without him, leaving him alone with a psychotic teenage babysitter. But I get after awhile he behaves more selfishly, and his wishes started becoming more dangerous. Courtney: Personally I never liked her even before she suffered character derailment whenever she didn't get her way. Bloo: I thought he was good in the pilot movie, but when they decided he was better off as a selfish douche to everyone at Fosters, even to Mac himself he lost my respect. Makes me wonder why Mac would continue to keep coming to Fosters and not let Bloo be someone else's problem. Patrick Star: I liked him better when he was just a dumb goof, but as Spongebob continued on he became more violent and brain dead stupid. How did this guy get his own show again? Brian Griffin: Yeah he used to give a damn about people and the Griffins as well, but then they decided to start giving him all these bad traits to make him loathed by the fandom. Granted just about every other character suffered character derailment, but yeah Brian ended up becoming a terrible pet. The Titans: It doesn't matter that the Titans in this series know they're hated. In fact they act proud to be hated. They make me wish DC cartoons went back to the way they were in the 2000's. Not total comedic relief and only ten minutes long an episode

Either get cancelled as a good show with good characters or live long enough to see yourself become a bad show while ruining your good characters

3:22-4:28 This is what Thomas fans came for.

I'm honestly surprised that only Edward, Skarloey and Rheneas were on this list. In my opinion, its seems like all of the characters have taken a step or two back from what they were back in seasons 1-5

I think Mr. Krabs was the one that angered me so much. In the first three seasons while he still cared about money, he still had a heart. He acted like a second father to Spongebob like when he lost his confidence because he messed up on Bubble Bass' order, he was also like a second father to Patrick, often teaching life lessons and while he argued with Squidward at times, he still cared about him. He was also a cheap but well intentioned father to his daughter Pearl. His rivalry with Plankton was made for comedic effect and not seriously as say that certain episode. Now, he a just jerk who only cares about money and himself and won't hesitate to go to any lengths to get a single cent and keep it for himself even using his most loyal employee to do so.

The entire Thomas & Friends cast was basically forgotten after the ousting of Britt Allcroft and the sale of the show to hit entertainment. This lovable show about life on the railway that was loved by young and old was reduced to a show that ONLY kids could enjoy. To be fair, the newer episodes brought back some great writers, but honestly once Britt was gone the reverends vison was gone too.

SURPRISED TO SEE THOMAS & FRIENDS UP ON HERE! Also Edward was Wise once again in the CGI Series and Edward Strikes Out is one of the Worst Episodes. As for Skarloey and Rheneas, they also turned back to Being Wise in the CGI Series.

After everyone discovered the secret wish Timmy made, I’m surprised they didn’t take away his fairies for a month or year. Considering he’s still 10 and yet an adult, taking them away for a month or year would at least teach him a lesson.

I hated what they did to Gwen more then Ben, she was a snarky sharp tongue short hair tomboy. In the sequel she was more girly, didnt look anything like when she was 10, and was suddenly in love with Kevin. I can tell i wasnt the only one since they clearly changed her appearance to look more like the original in later series

Brian in my opinion has had the biggest character derailment in the entire show

Dang. They really hit the nail on the head with this list.

As much as I think that the HiT-Era is overhated and underrated, I will admit that Edward, Skarloey and Rheneas were sometimes handled badly.

I'd change Rhombulus for Marco. He grew up as a character in season 2 and finally got Jackie, but in season 3 he became stupid because of a cape and she left him

Fairly odd parents is honestly the one Nickelodeon show that has derailed more then anything else. Even more so then spongebob which is saying a lot. Talk about beating a dead horse…

That’s character derailment

I'm so glad im not the only one that's "bitter" about how some of my favorite characters totally went down the drain😭😭😭

I’d say Bloo’s flanderization was pretty gradual, since he was still likable for the first 2 seasons though he did occasionally have moments where he felt like his old self i.e at the end of Affair weather Friends and Read it and Weap

I had a thought about the Seymour Skinner one. I think in hindsight, the whole reason that episode existed WAS to parody horribly ret-conned characters in shows where they’ve previously been established as characters. Think about it, this was after they essentially created the term of “Flanderization” before it was even called that by derailing Flanders character. They were probably already getting feedback for that even then before the internet age, and even though they’ve got the phrase coined in the late 2000’s, flanderization was a thing before the Simpsons(one famous example being the Fonz from Happy Days, another being Steve Urkel in Family matters, although that one worked out better for the show in its case). As exaggerated as they go with thoroughly removing the character we’ve seen play out on screen for several years up to that point, to the point of almost total erasure of identity (I mean he was a dutiful son to an abusive mother, kind of ridiculous she wouldn’t notice or that he would continue the charade with her for very long instead of just breaking the relationship and not having to do any of that) then basically looking the viewer in the eye and saying “Well nothing changes and everything goes back to how it was and the rest-con was a stupid pointless misadventure for the sake of more episode” it shows in my mind that this information was intentionally disregarded in order to make a joke on how shows will thrash established characters and then keep going on without ever really addressing these changes, acting as if they never happened or things were always like that. In that context, I think it’s hilarious, and was so ahead of its time(because mind you, Flanderization wasn’t a term back then so there wasn’t necessarily a name put to this trend other than “jumping the shark”, making it difficult to put to name what they were even spoofing). I think the translation between audience and show-runner was lost here, and people took it in the more negative way while the creators didn’t take into account it could end up mattering so much to people. After all, Skinner, although not necessarily a background character, probably seemed inconsequential enough to make him the subject for this joke. It’s not exactly like they were selling as much Skinner merch as they were The Simpson family, Crusty the clown, or even Apu, who was kind of a cultural icon(making the decision to remove him 30 years later even more brain dead and tone-deaf). This joke would probably play out a lot better now a days where we are more attuned to meta jokes and commentary. It would almost be cliche at this point, but at least even if people didn’t like the joke or how they decided to make it, they would know that there was an intent behind it besides “let’s just needlessly ret-con fake-out people for the sake of adding dumb lore to Skinner’s character.

I wish Henry from Thomas was in this he went from being a angry character to Easley scared in 1 season good to see Edward on here

I did not expect Edward, Skarloey and Rheneas to make an appearance on this.

Edward is my favourite character ever! I hate how they treated him

Finally,Someone Recognizes The Terrible Thomas Changes & Doesn't Tease Us About It

Remember when Lola Bunny became an actual funny character with a memorable personality when she was moved from Space Jam to the 2011's Looney Tunes show? Sure, it was once again ruined in the Space Jam sequel, but it was still a unique example of a poorly written character becoming a new fan favourite. Why can Scrappy Doo get this kind of treatment in a new adaptation? And I'm still hoping Flash Sentry will get a personality and character arch in Pony Life, but that's just a dream.

Name me anyone that rage quit when Pam on Archer got addicted? The show is one big chaos, thats why the fans love it.

It’s nice to see Thomas characters get mentioned. It’s weird to think about now, but the original books and series weren’t aimed at toddlers, and had some of the best continuity and subtle messages for early kid’s media. It’s incredibly frustrating and sad to see the franchise being aimed at an increasingly younger audience, all to sell toys and entertain babies, and see beloved characters suffer.

I kinda feel that the changes on Edward being a feeble old-timer with confidence issues was to relate to Thomas fans with ASD who’ve been yelled at by their parents

The Titans were definitely the worst. The old one was a classic with real emotion and action. But the kids seem to like Go so 🤷🏾‍♂️🙄 money talks

3:22 and 12:07 The Rev. Awdry would be so disappointed.

What about the cosmo and Wanda, his voice had changed very higher and she’s keep being always right about everything for Timmy!

I honestly would have said all of them in Thomas and Friends because when the later seasons came most of the characters complain when they don’t get a job they wanted, thinking they know best when in reality they are just showing off and bragging to the other engines, or just causing the accidents by doing something that they know they shouldn’t be doing. At least the CGI series is trying to take a little return to form.

One that bothered me was character change of Ash Ketchum in Pokémon BW. For two previous series and three regions, Ash was portrayed as experienced, albeit with still some childish tendencies, but his experiences and certain kind of maturity came especially out in comparison with his new travel companions, May and Dawn, who did all those rookie mistakes Ash did in the Original Series and often, it was Ash who corrected them. However, in BW, they reverted him back to his rookie, childish personality he had in OG, taking out all the character development he gained previously. And it didn't work. Even the creators realised that and in XY they tried to change his characterisation back to what it was in AG and DP, but the damage was already done ;-( Another bothersome character change for me was the change of Takeru/T.K. in Digimon Tri. How could they change this loving, caring boy into an epithome of teen hormones, who will flirt with any girl he meets is still beyond me.

Patrick used to be my favourite on Spongebob........ now he’s unbearable.

Wait, wasn't Roger smith always like that? Have hayley and francine fight each other, exposing himself as in alien for an article, constantly have the family and stan worried about Roger's antics?

What about some Cartoon Character Changes that made fans love the show even more?

It was weird to see you guys mention Thomas and friends, but I Edward did need to be on the list.

Did I read that right where it says Thomas the Tank Engine dates 1984 - 2021?!?! I swear I thought their last episode aired 25 years ago....

Hard to argue with that list though I think he should’ve also briefly mentioned how Spongebob’s character derailed to becoming even more annoying and happily insane and Mr. Krabs to becoming more self centered and cheap. I’m seriously not kidding. Just watch the first few seasons and then a couple of episodes in the later seasons and you’ll see big flanderization with them.

Duncan from total drama, his changes were more outraging than courts. he literally went soft. he was one of the baddest guys out there in the first 3 seasons and then where did that go in season 5???

Haven't seen much of those shows, but I agree about...Edward, Patrick Star, Brian Griffin, Skarloey, Rheneas, the Powerpuff Girls, and the "Toddler Titans". Edit: They didn't really make me quit...and I didn't watch Teen Titans, The Powerpuff Girls, Family Guy and SpongeBob SquarePants at the time, but I agree about how awful they have become. And at least Edward is back to his original self, as well as Skarloey and Rheneas.

I never expected Skarloey and Edward in this list!

OMG! I hated the tv Bloo. He was such an uncaring ass, most of the time.

Completely agree! Courtney's character was great in Total Drama Island. But after season 1, her character got VERY annoying!

This video is depressing as hell.

Edward went back to Being Wise in the CGI Series! Same with Skarloey and Rheneas!

Poor Courtney, I feel so bad for her. She didn’t deserve to get derailed like that in Sundae Muddy Sundae. I understand that a lot of people hated her but I feel so bad for her.

i didn’t expect to see anything thomas the tank engine on here, but here we are

What about Toby from Thomas the Tank Engine? His flandarization got worse. In the early seasons, Toby the Tram Engine was cautious, but he was also humble, wise, and is not a coward. In the later seasons, Toby got flandarized into a not so confident coward who is afraid of many things and thinks he couldn't do a simple task because he's an old steam tram.

For Skarloey and Rheneas they were both fixed in the CGI series as well. Now that should have been included.

When the gif of the Power Puff Girls twerking was first being circulated, I felt my rib cage concave from cringe

For me it was Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Miraculous Ladybug. She got so obsessive with Adrian and became so selfish (like party crashing a boys only party for him) that after season 3 finale I just had enough.

Roger is a fan favourite on American Dad though?? I don't know one person who rage quit because of him becoming more of a sociopath over the seasons, since his character started showing signs of that early on anyway. And honestly his unstableness is one of the biggest comedic highlights because of how absurd he can be

In case of Bloo as a "person" he was horrible, as a character I liked him and he usually got what he deserved.

"Family Guy" really got hit hard with flanderization as the years passed. Putting Brian aside, Peter became a psychotic narcissist, Lois a cheating, shrill bully, Cleveland and Joe the butt of race/cripple-related jokes, Meg pretty much Quahog's whipping girl, and Stewie a flamboyant metrosexual with an obvious crush on Brian. There's more than that, but those are probably the most prominant examples in addition to Brian.

The thing about Family Guy is: Seth wants the show to end, he’s grown tired of it, and he doesn’t like working for Fox TV anymore (that’s why he moved The Orville to Hulu).

I came here for Edward, Skarloey, and Rheneas. Quite surprised to see them. Oh and I guess Courtney from TD, but that never rage quite me.

I remember feeling personally disrespected when Teen Titans Go premiered. Although this iteration is more successful, I wish they would’ve just left the characters alone instead of making them parodies of themself.

FINALLY! Somebody who understands how godawful Bloo was after the pilot.

Absolutely agree about bloo. I remember liking bloo in the intro movie. Then as early as the first episode, I was wondering "what happened to the lovable miscreant that was loyal to Mac? Now he's a selfish bratty Karen." The final straw for me was Bloo going out of his way to plan multiple birthday parties at once to humiliate Mac, and the fact that he was doing it to Mac for years. He is not a friend

Love the Thomas representation. Henry, Rusty, and Toby are other examples of beloved character flanderization.

Glad to see Watchmojo talk about this show and show the frustrations fans felt about it with how it handled some characters, I never expected to see that.

Me: what’s number 1? When i see number 1: I should have known

After Cloe arrived in the last season of the Fairly Odd Parents, Timmy became the biggest brat ever. My opinion.

I'm disappointed with Goku, he went from being the one you couldn't wait to see in a fight, the one everyone depended on and the strongest, to being literally dumb as a board

How about Mr Freeze's character being changed in "The new batman adventures". It's likes all the development he got in BTAS/Subzero was forgotten about in favour of him continuing to just be evil for a ridiculous reason
