History Main / DependingOnTheWriter

* The animated version of Lydia Deetz from the ''{{Beetlejuice}}'' series was [[PerkyGoth a lot cheerier]] than her live-action film counterpart.

* Some FF writers, most notably Tom DeFalco, have tried to upgrade Johnny to at least being savvy about his powers and status. Later ones felt the need to make him dumb and dumber both. Also, a character who can end up spending months away from Earth aiding his team and family is frequently taken to task for not going to college. Some courses are crazy, and require you to show up for class.

** The problem is not the continuity, but the mood of the setting. For Lovecraft, it was heavily about how the universe just doesn't care about mankind. Later writers making humans more important and worth the notice of CosmicHorrors is what is often complained about.
* ConanTheBarbarian is pretty much always an AntiHero [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes but what kind of anti hero]] very much depends on the Author. Howard himself wrote him mostly as a TypeIV, subsequent authors as anywhere from Type II to Type V, the Marvel Comics mostly as a Type II and the Movies as a Type III while the cartoon ''Conan The Adventurer'' had him as a straight hero.

** Shego may have never killed anyone (it's a Disney show after all), but she would no doubt have an impressive body count if not for Team Possible.

** This got so bad that Rebecca Romijn - the Actor who plays Alexis - decided to quit the show. Romijn has said that

*** Note it didn't quite happen this way. Alexis was on a PutOnABus, but did not return in a recurring capacity and, in fact, was never seen again.

** Rose Tyler seems to swing from perfectly competent and intelligent (and sometimes a complete {{Bad Ass}}) to someone who can't seem to let go of the {{Idiot Ball}} and {{Distress Ball}}, depending on how the writers want the episode to go.

* On ''TheFairlyOddparents'', at least recently, the plot seems to dictate whether some characters will use their {{Flanderized}} personalities or their original personalities. Depending on the story, Crocker can be a competent fairy hunter (Formula For Disaster) or a delusional fool (Bad Heir Day), Tootie can be a sweet girl with a crush (Birthday Wish) or a StalkerWithACrush (Dread & Breakfast), Trixie Tang can be a pleasant and sweet girl (For Emergencies Only!) or an [[RichBitch arrogant]] SpoiledBrat (Movie Magic) and Timmy's parents can simply be overworked (Momnipresent, Add-A-Dad) or the most [[AbusiveParents neglectful parents]] in the world (Fly Boy, Birthday Bashed).

* SlenderMan. The traits that every Slendy incarnation has had are a black business suit with black tie and white shirt, [[TheBlank no features on his head]], and "arms" that are actually tentacles. Everything else so far has basically been up to the imaginations of the writers and usually relies on RuleOfScary. Some new traits that have been codified and popularized by the more well-known Slender Man works (which include MarbleHornets, JustAnotherFool, and SeekingTruth) are: his ability to cause electronic interference (typically with cameras); the ability to teleport himself and others; the famous circle with an X through it known as the "Operator symbol" being associated with him; only going after people who had been scared by him as children; making people sick with some mysterious disease; giving people mild amnesia; driving people crazy and presumably making them his acolytes (i.e. totheark, Albert Conaghan); and [[SpeakOfTheDevil only appearing before people who have been thinking about him constantly on account of having looked at the various works]]. The number of these attributes present in the various blogs typically depends on their tone and how familiar the authors are familiar with the mythos.

* The comics made of the various {{Disney}} icons. Such as Donald Duck.

** Roger's JerkAss attitude can shift anywhere between a JerkWithAHeartOfGold that ultimately cares about his adoptive family or an EvillyAffable PsychoticManchild that crosses MoralEventHorizon repeatedly [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]].

** He sometimes seems to just really really detest Eddy. At one point Double Dee full-on approached him (in an attempt to prank him) and had a discussion, ableit with Double Dee extremely nervous. One episode however seems to hint to Kevin's resentment being more a case of HeWhoFightsMonsters, with him become outright paranoid and deluded upon their dissappearance.

* The characterizations of ''TaleSpin'' are somewhat erratic, particularly the extent of Baloo and Rebecca's NotSoDifferent aspects. Baloo can switch anywhere between a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGoldslovenly but well intentioned]] AcePilot or a [[TooDumbToLive brainless]] [[TedBaxter egotistical]] JerkAss. Rebecca can be a plausible StraightMan with subtle NotSoAboveItAll tendacies or [[CloudCuckooLander even ditzier than Baloo]], she can also switch anywhere between a BenevolentBoss and a MeanBoss.

** His attitude towards his family is dependent on who he's interacting with at the time: Hailey is either daddy's wayward grownup daughter who he tries to keep on the right (his) path, or the displaced trouble child he simply gives up on because they have nothing in common. Steve is both his school-stud son who has hidden geek qualities (in his mind's eye), and simply a shake of the head as too where he went wrong raising that boy. Francine is possibly his air-headed house wife who is slightly clueless as to what goes on in front of her, or his air-headed house wife who's rager past is contained by the suburban shell around her.

** He sometimes seems to just really really detest Eddy. At one point Double Dee full-on approached him (in an attempt to prank him) and had a discussion, ableit with Double Dee extremely nervous.

***Also, the second episode written by Teyy [=McGurrin=], ''"The Am-AH-Zon Race"'' is considered dull and uninteresting, basically, the fans don't like his writing that much.

*** "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan" (written by Doug Hadders) gave everyone lines, was [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilarious and everyone in it acted perfectly in-character. While ''"Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better"'' (written by Terry McGurrin) only focused on a few characters, wasn't very funny and everyone in it acted ridiculously out of character.

** Please elaborate

* In the case of [[TotalDramaIsland Total Drama World Tour]], compare and contrast (but mostly contrast) between [[CrowningMomentofFunny Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan]] and the next episode [[DethroningMomentofSuck Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better.
