Man in the Yellow Hat
Do you think this counts as Early Installment weirdness? In the pilot episode of Helluva Boss, Moxxie is shown to be capable of harming children if they were brats and called his wife a slut. But in the first official episode, he's shown questioning the practices of I.M.P, and shows mercy to a family of psychopaths who tried to kill him and his wife, and after they are killed by the police, he is shown to be horrified and grief stricken.
Should there be a video example? If so, then from what show/movie/etc?
Not certain where this one would fit, if it could. Almost but not quite Literature. It's something I've noticed in some recent YA trilogies/series, pertaining to the books' cover art of all things. The cover art for the first book in one of these series will not quite match the cover art of the second book. A paperback reissue of the first book will often have new cover graphics done up to match the cover art of the next volumes in the series, but that initial first hardcover looks a little odd when shelved alongside volumes two and three. Rick Yancey's Monstrumologist series is the best example I can think of. The first book's cover art was a photo of a hand holding a jar with something bloody inside it. The following volumes in the series have covers featuring dark, silhouetted landscapes, ravens, and a an ominous night sky (stars, full moon, and... things hidden in them, like skulls, faces, hands, etc.) Considering this might not just be limited to YA fiction, and of course there are a lot of exceptions to this where the cover art for all the books matches up nicely...
I'm not sure if Halo counts anymore. Reach and ODST both added the health bar back in. Do we have a trope for that?

What like maybe a trope called "Feature Zig-Zag"? Maybe, but if not there is always YKTTW
As for Fanfiction instances in general, aren't there also cases where the author is just getting a feel for the characters, and as they further the plot, try to avert common flanderizations that were previously applied to some characters?
Is not actually from Lyniezia
In the Real Life section, humanity example: how do we know for definite there was no law of some description? Obviously formal law codes could not exist before the advent of writing, but surely every tribe has its traditions and maybe means of settling disputes? How can we prove this for certain?
You really notice this trope when a syndicated show has a block goes "Episode 155, 156, 1, 2" in one go. You go from finale to premiere over one commercial break.
Do a barrel roll!
It's super effective.
I think the Power Rangers entry needs rewording. Even fans must admit that it's still a pretty weird concept.
Does this go under Trivia? I just found out that it doesn't go under YMMV, and I usually see it put under the main work page or Trivia, so I wondered which was correct.
