Cerebus Rollercoaster	comment	There are many reasons why the tone of a story may change. Sometimes a happy, joke-based show goes into a much more serious and darker direction. Sometimes a once dark and deadly serious series turns into a comedy. Sometimes the work completely changes its genre. Sometimes writers run out of ideas and just try to put out anything they can, or find what they really want to do. Sometimes Executive Meddling, Creator Breakdown, or Creator Recovery takes the story in a new direction and turns it into something completely unrecognizable from its source material. And sometimes all of it happens at the same time. Cerebus Rollercoaster is what happens when Cerebus Syndrome gets zig-zagged — the series goes back and forth through different tones, jumps from genre to genre or dances on the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism. If this ends well, the series can end up Growing the Beard by absorbing the best elements of all the phases it went through. If not, it may end up Jumping the Shark. This may occur for different reasons. Sometimes creators just plain don't know exactly what tone they want to give their work. Maybe the story went too far into Cerebus Syndrome, and the writer is tired and horrified of the Crapsack World it has become, but while trying to reverse the process, he finds out that new, Darker and Edgier settings have a lot of fans, so he desperately tries to balance drama and comedy to keep both fanbases happy. Sometimes the new writer decides to take the series in a new direction, then into another direction, and so on, until fans who have grown to be writers themselves take the series back to its original roots. Some people may just Follow the Leader too much, and when the leader changes, so too does the direction of their story. And sometimes they just don't want to stick to one setting and are forced to discard all story ideas which are too dark or too light for basic settings. Tropes Are Tools — when played right, it may give a series a unique, recognizable style and keep it fresh. If done badly, however, this will pretty much turn the story into a train wreck. Compare Mood Whiplash, which is a smaller version of this taking place within a single story rather than spaced out among multiple installments. Dude, Not Funny! may occur if one character is lagging between transitions.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time just loves to do this. As it underwent Cerebus Syndrome, the episodes started getting more mature and character-oriented, but the show is still mostly a bizarre comedy. So, one episode we'll have nuclear warfare and a thinly-veiled Alzheimer's metaphor; the next, we'll have Finn and Jake treating a children's book like a Tome of Eldritch Lore and BMO talking to himself in a mirror.

While it is Lighter and Softer and Denser and Wackier than the usual Spidey fare, its main arc plot is much darker than the comedic episodes.

We can have our Large Ham protagonist kicking ass and then go to finding out the school board are creating this year's monsters before going to a Christmas-based episode and then it brings out one of the worst monsters in the show and then we have the High-School Dance. Then we get our hero dying at the hands of the Second Rider and that's when it takes corkscrews and loop-de-loops around this thing.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_17e6cb15	comment	Bojack Horseman regularly ventures between lighthearted comic-relief episodes and dark, depressing ones. Like Rick and Morty it tends to switch between both sides within one episode. Occasionally it depends where you're looking on the screen, since even the dark scenes have the odd Funny Background Event. The show also loves to use the comedy to either set up the drama or deconstruct the comedy itself. Frequently the show will set up a standard comedy plot, only for it to be deconstructed in such a way as to highlight just how screwed up the characters are. In most comedies, a wild drug and alcohol binge by the protagonist might get them into a crazy situation that ultimately will have no long-term impact. In this show however one of Bojack's only true friends, one of the only people just like him, Sarah Lynn dies of a drug overdose because of it. Bojack impulsively uproots his life to join The One That Got Away? She's married with kids, but still lets him live in a boat in their yard as a member of the family, parodying the "weird character in a sitcom that's not technically part of the family but is anyways and lives a weird bachelor life". Then he tries to bang her 17-year-old daughter after getting her friends drunk because he has no idea how to act like an adult.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_1869a077	comment	Samurai Jack uses this trope as darker and more serious episodes are interspersed with jarringly comedic ones. Because most episodes are in their own little bubble, there is no overall story to interrupt and in most cases, the darkest and grimmest episodes have the exact same impact on the show as the ones about absurd nonsense - that is, none.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance began as a Gag Per Day Fantasy Kitchen Sink comic, then gradually went through Cerebus Syndrome, at first with combination light comedy/dramatic arcs, and then with full-blown dramatic storylines such as "Fire and Rain" and "That Which Redeems," featuring Character Development, relationship angst, quests for identity, and tragic elements. Since then, the comic has alternated between such storylines and light, goofy ones such as a lengthy World of Warcraft parody. Sometimes, the tone will switch abruptly from comic to dramatic even within the same chapter.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_1c8a8fa1	comment	Transformers: Wings of Honor: Goes back and forth between the text stories and comics: The original comic was light-hearted and made fun of the Unreliable Narrator. The Coming Storm was more action-packed, but more violent, and funny up until the Sudden Downer Ending which kills most of the cast. The Flames of Yesterday takes place in the middle of The Coming Storm and, bar a few moments, is a lot funnier and ends for the best. A Team Effort focuses on another team and contains no character death, it's a space-adventure turned mystery. Battle Lines had a more dark tone, with the survivors going to fight the Decepticons, and losing several of their members. The Hero Dies and it shows that the story did not really matter in the long run as the war sets in. Generation 2 Redux: had the series go back into more light-hearted territory, with the cast considerably younger and more optimistic, the villains are either funny or naive and it ends with most people on the good guy's side. The Machine Wars continuation is foreshadowed as darker, but the comic itself could be anywhere on the rollercoaster when it comes out.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach Has a tendency to be unable to keep up a serious tone during its darker story arcs, with characters making jokes and exaggerated expressions at each other even at times when things are looking extremely bleak for the heroes. Notably the beginning of the Deicide arc, where Aizen's cocoon form is revealed is peppered with multiple instances of characters goofing around despite the fact that they're supposed to be facing down the Big Bad, multiple characters have died or been maimed, and Aizen is so powerful nobody can figure out how to even damage him, let alone kill him. While the overall storyline remains dark, it does undermine the seriousness of the situation when nobody can decide if they'd rather fight or crack wacky jokes in the face of peril. This is also not the same as making jokes in dire circumstances to improve morale, tending more towards the kind of gags you'd see in omakes right in the middle of tense confrontations.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_1ce379a6	comment	Joe Diffie started out primarily singing ballads on his first two albums, and his early up-tempo releases such as "New Way (To Light Up an Old Flame)" still had mostly serious content. Starting with his third and fourth albums Honky Tonk Attitude and Third Rock from the Sun, the novelty factor pushed to the forefront, giving him big hits in lighthearted, silly fare such as both albums' title tracks, "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die)", and "Pickup Man", with "So Help Me Girl" being the lone ballad success from either. Once the novelty wore off, he began releasing more serious material again, culminating in 1999's A Night to Remember, which was praised for its serious tone.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_1f40d0b4	comment	Ni no Kuni, for great justice. The game begins with Oliver's mother tragically dying, and then segues almost immediately into Drippy being brought to life, who actively berates Oliver and by extension the player for crying over his mother's death. Things are roughly lighthearted from there on out... until Hamelin, which, especially in the PS3 version, contains the most actively tragic scene in the game since the mother's death. And then it's back to cuteness and happiness until the next Drama Bomb comes along...

You unlock wacky costumes and joke items between missions involving war crimes and institutionalized mass genocide. Sometimes you'll gross out your underlings by not showering for weeks, only to discover that a virulent plague has begun killing off specific ethnicities.

It's a lot goofier than its 2003 predecessor, with the addition of a lot of Japanese visual humor. Despite that, the show can get very dark when it wants to, featuring, among other things, the Shredder beating the turtles to a pulp in a fight that almost completely lacks dialog, the horribly burned Rat King almost forcing Splinter to kill his sons, and a goofy heroic wannabe acquaintance of the turtles being painfully transformed into a feral blob monster.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_2fee008d	comment	Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in a way mirrors the rollercoaster ride taken by the entire mecha anime genre through its history. Episodes one to eight are very optimistic and often outright comedic, taking a lot from classic 70's Super Robot anime like Mazinger Z or Getter Robo. The next episodes contain their share of angst and dark themes, and villains, while still evil, gain some depth. It mirrors the effect Mobile Suit Gundam had on the genre. Later episodes are post-Neon Genesis Evangelion era, being much darker than before, with varying moral values. Yet in both parts, the anime remains pretty captivating and the last part is especially awesome and Hot-Blooded, mirroring the effects GaoGaiGar and other reconstructions had on the mecha genre. It seems that what Gurren Lagann is trying to say is that it doesn't matter what tone or message your mecha show has - if it doesn't have its share of epicness, you're doing it wrong.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_305d1c25	comment	Cucumber Quest oscillates wildly between cute and funny and dark and emotional, though this is an intentional part of the comic's tone. The Nightmare Knight, the main villain of the series, is shown baking shortbread cookies, lamenting the fact that since his powers come from fear he has to pretend to be evil in order to keep his children alive, breaking into a television studio where live-action children's shows are filmed, and visiting Mistmaster, who was reduced to a constantly weeping shell of a person. This does blend with Cerebus Syndrome, as most of the darker elements are introduced later in the comic, but the tone still can be very light and comedic even in later chapters.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_309df9ea	comment	Atop the Fourth Wall, while is always a deeply comedic series, has plot arcs toned to fit the main villain — funny villains are just for additional jokes, while serious ones tend to have other plans going on in the background. Comedic and incompetent Doctor Insano was replaced by the scary Mechakara. After Mechakara's defeat, his place was taken by Harmless Villain Doctor Linksano, to let fans catch a break. Linksano has been replaced by the far more menacing Lord Vyce. Each arc is full of episodes completely unrelated to its plot, which helps in keeping the main purpose of the show straight. It's gone from Silent Hill: Dead/Alive (one of the most depressing arcs in the series, giving a nightmarish origin to the "Magic Gun") to "Secret Origins Month", where even the reviews are light-hearted and playful. And again - from "The Entity" arc, that worked well to give the series more horrors for another "Secret Origins Month".

A few chapters later, we found out, that said robot boy is a Sociopathic Hero at its worst. Then more comedy and action scenes, which lead up to the protagonist's best friend being in love with him, and also being batshit insane. Then all the good guys are killed, and the world blows up. Which leads us right into part 2, with time restarted and everybody fine. They even threw in some more comedy just to reassure us that everybody is A-OK. Until the end of part two. Two of the original Good Doji masters are dead, and the others are out of commission. Part 3, managed to do this in single chapters alone. The only thing you can be sure of with the tone of this series is that by the end of each part, something bad is going to happen to somebody, if not everybody.

For example, at one moment Tiny Tina was singing an adorably creepy song or making a cute attempt at street slang. The next moment, she's torturing a psycho for ratting out her parents and getting them killed. Tina continues the trend in her DLC campaign, which is a wacky parody of RPG and fantasy tropes for the most part only to veer into the revelation that the whole campaign is her way of coping with the trauma of Roland's death in the main story.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball started as a pastiche of Journey to the West. Then a few years in Piccolo Daimao became its Knight of Cerebus and comedic elements started to decrease in number. Stronger and crueler villains started to pop out and each next saga through Dragon Ball Z was darker than the previous one. Then the Buu Arc came, bringing back a lot of the off-the-wall humour and combining it with the epic fights and darkness, resulting in situations like Goten's mom getting killed by being turned into an egg and then stepped on. The anime version has also Dragon Ball GT, which swapped from a goofy humour-based Adventure Planets first half, to dark ultimate evil after ultimate evil second half. The new series Dragon Ball Super also engages in this, thanks to its melding of classic DB humor with DBZ-style fighting amped-up to the next level. One episode had Vegeta staving off death by sucking on a pacifier, and then the last five minutes set up the next story arc by showing Future Trunks battling an Omnicidal Maniac who just so happens to look like an Evil DoppelgÃ¤nger of Goku.

The tonal shifts have gone from harrowing memory loss, a comedic episode where Spock becomes fully human, a horror-themed episode where Uhura suffers from hallucinations, a Crossover with the comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks, an Unexpectedly Dark Episode involving M'Benga suffering PTSD from the Klingon War, complete with a Downer Ending, but that's okay because the episode after that is a Musical Episode. And, finally, the Gorn return, and Enterprise goes into battle with hundreds of innocent lives and potentially the fate of The Federation at stake. To Be Continued...

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_3e5de40b	comment	Scrubs is best described as a collision between a medical drama and a slapstick comedy with great big dollops of tragedy, Gallows Humor, surrealism, and Lemony Narrator thrown in for good measure, and it's a complete toss-up as to what each episode will give the viewer. And it's not just across the show or across seasons, it can be across a single episode: one storyline might be a Zany Scheme filled with sex jokes, pratfalls, and wacky shenanigans, while another storyline might be a gut-wrenching, savagely dark tragedy about the death of patients and the psychological fallout from one or more of the doctors, while the camera merrily Whip Pans between the two.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_3f3abe9	comment	Rick and Morty is pretty much always dark. Whether the dark is utterly hilarious or depressingly serious is another matter. Race of man-made people taking a restaurant hostage, being held on trial for the death of a giant, or getting ready to bring Armageddon to start another Adam and Eve situation? Hilarious. Marital troubles, other versions of you from other dimensions causing trouble, and replacing yourself in another universe seconds after the you from that one died? Disturbing. And it's not uncommon to switch between the two sides several times in the same episode (e.g. what happens when you create a universe solely to provide you with power).

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers always has been, and always will be, a franchise nobody can take without a lot of Willing Suspension of Disbelief. It's campy and awesome in its own way, but the tone of each season varies. Back in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Lord Zedd was its Knight of Cerebus and set a much more epic arc than the original Rita arc. Both Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo were a step down from serious towards lighter tones, only for the series to turn into epic space opera during Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The tone of the series can vary from dark, like Power Rangers Time Force, to completely comedic, like Power Rangers Ninja Storm. Even checking out the Super Sentai source material isn't any indication of which route the next series will take, as proven by the darkest series of all, Power Rangers RPM, which was based on a self-parody of Super Sentai — but even then RPM is one of the funnier seasons, relying on humor from The Comically Serious and the Meta Guy in the cast instead of going through the requisite Hilarity Ensues.

Next is the Nightmarish Thud!, followed by Making Money and Unseen Academicals, both of which are a lot more fun. This is then followed by the pitch-black I Shall Wear Midnight. Snuff is somewhere in the middle being darkish but basically optimistic and heartwarming, and Raising Steam is another Lipwig romp. Note that all the "dark" books are still comedies, and all the "light" books have moments of darkness and serious villains.

Basically, most arcs start off as Slice of Life comedy revolving around a handful of schoolchildren living carefree lives, but they reside in a Town with a Dark Secret, and each arc gradually spirals out of control, usually culminating in the death of several main characters, or even the entire town. Then the Reset Button gets pressed by an unknown third party, and it's back to lighthearted comedy, and if any of the main cast are still aware that something's horribly wrong, they do a great job at hiding it.

The Metal Gear Solid sub-series in particular has gone from "Save the world" action with a twist to nonsensical mind screw to break the most badass cutie ever to utter depression with a bittersweet ending to an opening that is straight out of a horror movie, all of which bounce all over the place and can go straight from a horrifying scene of Meryl getting shot by a sniper to a Butt-Monkey guard trying not to crap his pants or Snake being tortured so badly he pisses himself to him chastising Mission Control for mentioning vampires because it will give him scary dreams. And that's not even going into spinoffs like Metal Gear Rising... Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain ups the ante with the rollercoaster madness of an open world. You unlock wacky costumes and joke items between missions involving war crimes and institutionalized mass genocide. Sometimes you'll gross out your underlings by not showering for weeks, only to discover that a virulent plague has begun killing off specific ethnicities. You might find and adopt a puppy just in time to land a contract on murdering child soldiers. Fanservice with Quiet will eventually grow gruesome and disturbing, ending with an attempted rape scene.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_5921531b	comment	Persona 4 plays out this way, compared to the rest of the games in the series being consistently dark throughout. The game begins with two murders, one of them being a teenager, and a generally unsettling atmosphere as a serial killer is on the loose and the police are useless at dealing with their supernatural methods. Your first venture into a dungeon results in the comic relief best friend's hidden fears and insecurities manifesting themselves as a Shadow and trying to kill you. From that point on though, you're able to rescue the killers' other targets in advance, the Shadow bosses gradually become more comedic, and by mid-game, the story has shifted to light-hearted high school Slice of Life. Until the last months of the year, where the murder/kidnapping plot comes back in full force, the latest victim being the protagonist's 7-year-old cousin, who comes very close to dying, and the protagonists (who are teenagers) come dangerously close to murdering the guy responsible, and if you get the Bad Ending they succeed and Nanako dies for real. This is followed by the reveal of the true killer. Turns out the goofy detective you've met all game was a sadistic, misogynistic attempted rapist who had no motives for doing what he did. After their capture, the story goes back to being lighthearted with Christmas and Valentine's Day, especially in the Updated Re-release, before lapsing back into darkness with the True Final Boss before ending on an unambiguously happy note.

Then, Timothy Dalton's Bond took an even Darker and Edgier turn, more akin to Ian Fleming's original novels. Then, Pierce Brosnan's Bond was lighter, taking a middle ground between Connery and Moore, before Daniel Craig's Bond took a darker tone again (with his later 2 films emulating his predecessors a little more).

Whereas it is mostly a soap opera (and therefore leaning moreso towards drama in spite of it being a Saturday Morning Cartoon), the Five-Episode Pilot were among the darkest of the series and involved mature situations such as multiple counts of kidnapping and attempted murder and a scene of male-on-female violence. However, there were several light-hearted episodes once it became a regular series, like "The Rock Fashion Book", "Hot Time in Hawaii" and "In Search of the Stolen Album". By the time of the third and final season, it came back to being this given the inclusion of The Stingers, who unlike the Holograms' other rival band The Misfits, qualified as No Nonsense Villains (particularly the bassist Rapture, who antics and attitude towards most of the characters veer dangerously close to sociopathy) and "Out of the Past" and "A Change of Heart" (which feature a vital Posthumous Character dying in a plane crash and another current character nearly being Driven to Suicide) once again showcasing how serious the show's subject matter can be.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_63ac9abe	comment	The first Sonic the Hedgehog game was lighthearted and cartoony with some shonen elements. Then the sequels increasingly upped the stakes and expanded on the shonen elements. This eventually led to the Sonic Adventure duology, with the first installment culminating in an ancient god of destruction flooding a city while a dramatic rock song plays, and the the sequel involving the murder of a terminally ill child whose grandfather was forced to make weapons for the military. Sonic Heroes briefly went back to a more cartoony tone (apart from the Last Story, the game was largely a lighthearted romp with heavy emphasis on The Power of Friendship), only for the series to reach the epitome of its Cerebus Syndrome with Shadow the Hedgehog (which expands on the aforementioned murder backstory) and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) (where Sonic is temporarily killed off, among other things). Due to complaints about this, Sega decided to go in a more lighthearted direction, starting with Sonic Unleashed (despite still taking itself somewhat seriously, there's still a decent amount of silliness to be had), and culminating in the comedic and trippy Sonic Colors. This eventually led to complaints about Sega going too far in the opposite direction. Possibly as a response, the series started to wander back in a more serious direction, with Sonic Lost World having some dark moments sandwiched by comical moments. Sonic Forces further toned down the comedy and upped the stakes, resulting in one of the darkest installments in the series. And then we have Sonic Frontiers, who is even darker than the previous game, especially thanks to its main villain: THE END, an Omnicidal Maniac Eldritch Abomination who is basically responsible for all the bad stuff that happened in the Sonic Universe.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_6cfd7864	comment	Its Just A Light Rain But The Storms Still Comin, a Persona 5 fanfiction centering on the Butterfly of Doom of Joker not entering the Metaverse with Ryuji on April 11, leans heavily on the Cerebus Syndrome side of the roller coaster. The story starts with a Downer Beginning and time skips to when Kurusu Akira is discovered to develop a Palace where things are also taking a turn for worse with how tough the Phantom Thieves handle their heist without Joker in the helm and their attempt to solve Akira's palace only made things worse due to their mistaken first impression that Akira is just as evil as his fake criminal record makes him out to be due to being last seen speaking to Shiho, causing the group to assume the worst that Akira is somehow responsible for Shiho's suicide. While the story establishes a few hopeful moments to show that the situation might be looking up for Akira and the thieves, the story just as quickly takes that hope away in the following scenes. Though the story does away the light-hearted and comedic moments of Persona 5 in favor of focusing on the Butterfly of Doom in effect, it still had its own hopeful and heartwarming moments that prevent the story from being considered a Dark Fic.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_6e1d5f36	comment	As with many tropes it played with, Farscape took this and ran with it for all it was worth. Not only would it alternate between highly dramatic and comedic episodes (for example, a drama-heavy two-parter that ended with the death of one of the main characters, being followed by an episode that was largely animated as an homage to Chuck Jones, and then was followed once again by an episode dealing with the aftermath of that character's death) but would have heavy Mood Whiplash within the individual episodes, especially as Crichton's mental state was variably played for laughs and drama. This even extends from season to season, as the series gets progressively darker over the course of seasons 1 and 2, before taking the plunge outright in season 3. Season 4 then backpedals into a somewhat lighter tone, before things get pitch black in The Peacekeeper Wars.

One moment you meet a serious character in anime style who tells you about your sacred quest to save the world, and the next you run into some eccentric caricature that looks like something out of a really zany cartoon rambling about random stuff. Sometimes the characters themselves are Cerebus Rollercoasters, as exemplified by Zant and Ghirahim.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_755fadab	comment	Haruhi Suzumiya, particularly the Anime, has this in spades, though it's all intentional. It starts out as a high-school harem comedy complete with fanservice shots, dips into some sci-fi, goes back to being silly, gets serious when we find out what Haruhi does to the world subconsciously and what it could mean if she ever got too upset... then someone pulls a KNIFE on the main character and comes within an inch of killing him before we're treated to some intense sci-fi fighting. And that's just the first five episodes! The rest of the series takes a light-hearted turn, but gets scary when someone or something stops Haruhi from having a good time or her imagination gets the best of her. We're treated to Fridge Horror with the Endless 8 arc, then the cast makes a funny (and terrible) movie... Then Haruhi Disappears, giving Kyon a mental breakdown, and just when everything looks like it's about to turn out fine... He gets stabbed TWICE and nearly bleeds to death all over the road. This series couldn't be any more bipolar if it were a magnet!

Then the seriousness picked up again Avengers: Endgame, which managed to be a single installment case of this trope: the first act, following up on the Downer Ending, was gloomy, but then the second act revolving around reversing things back to normal has much more humor (aside from Black Widow having to sacrifice herself), until a third act consisting of a huge battle for the fate of the universe.

Some of these lighter episodes still manage to take 90-degree turns into dramatic and heartwrenching scenes, however. One notable episode from the show's first season has two characters role act out a children's book before transitioning into a reveal that one of them was literally grown to be a soldier on the opposing side of the war that her current family fought and that she constantly agonizes about this fact, worrying that the others see her as a lesser being because of it.

Best exemplified by the Yakuza Arc, which went from a story of trying to get a hikkimori heir to a Yakuza clan out to one of the more Downer Ending for an arc with most of their employers dead and nothing meaningful resolved. And it took one scene to jump from Comedy to Oh, Crap!. The point, however, that the series became infamous for this is the first Yoshiwara arc, which not only had the fewest comedy bits but also advanced the story and lore, especially with Kagura's brother.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_8192fc03	comment	A notable feature of Eminem's album Encore! is that, instead of integrating the comedic songs and the serious songs, the album starts off wry and semi-serious, gets increasingly dark over the first five tracks, then breaks for eight incredibly goofy comedy songs incorporating Toilet Humor, stream-of-consciousness rapping and silly voices and accents. Then it snaps back to serious ballads, slowly lightening until it ends with Lightmare Fuel Horrorcore. The idea had been to think about it as a vinyl double album where each 'disc' would be split between Eminem (on one side) and Slim Shady (on the other), with both personas getting a Side A and a Side B to themselves each. (Annoyingly, when Encore was released on vinyl, the sides didn't end up split this way.)

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider as a franchise also alternates a lot between silly and serious. You have darker series like Amazon, 555, and Blade, and less serious ones like Black RX and Den-O. Within each series, most start as being comedic and episodic, and then eventually focusing around mid-season into something more serious, while still having several gags and enemies like Starfish Hitler and a muay-thai boxing chicken who constantly dances in the background. Fourze has to take the cake when it comes to the rollercoaster. We can have our Large Ham protagonist kicking ass and then go to finding out the school board are creating this year's monsters before going to a Christmas-based episode and then it brings out one of the worst monsters in the show and then we have the High-School Dance. Then we get our hero dying at the hands of the Second Rider and that's when it takes corkscrews and loop-de-loops around this thing. Kamen Rider Gaim is an even bigger rollercoaster than Fourze. While the main plot is overall very dark Alien Kudzu is threatening to devour the planet, and the MegaCorp that has the means to fight it is led by power-hungry backstabbers who don't give a damn about saving humanity, there's still plenty of humor to be found both in the premise (the Riders' armor is fruit-themed) or the cast (which includes Those Two Guys and a Badass Camp Gay pastry chef). This gets Lampshaded late in the series during a dark portion when the chef and one of the two guys the other having been killed much earlier lament that it feels like they have nothing to do anymore. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is a zany medical drama about a pediatrician battling a computer virus that brings video game characters to life, with one of the most over the top scene-chewing and crazy villains in the franchise. It also has some serious themes revolving around the importance and value of life, particularly once said villain shows how deadly and dangerous he is. Kamen Rider Build is half a gritty and dramatic story about the horrors of war and later, a Cosmic Horror Story about the heroes trying to stop an Omnicidal Maniac from destroying the worl, half a wacky sitcom about the eccentric personalities of its six protagonists bouncing off each other and the other characters around them. It isn't a bad thing though as it means you'll care a lot more when they start dying.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros. games are generally light and comedic but there will be times when the series will take an unexpectedly dark turn. In Super Mario 64, all the worlds are colorful and mystical but then you have Big Boo's Haunt which has a dark atmosphere, eerie music, coffins that smash you, and a killer piano with razor-sharp teeth. The DS remake adds a maze-like level where maniacal laughter by King Boo can be heard throughout the area. Another example is the Crumbleden in Super Mario Odyssey. Contrary to other kingdoms in the game, this one is dark and lifeless with destroyed buildings and no survivor in sight. The possible cause of this? The boss of this world, which is a gigantic purple dragon sporting a design one would expect from Dark Souls. The Mario RPGs are also often like this. The Paper Mario series goes from light-hearted and comedic to dark at almost a moment's notice (just compare the somewhat cheery Petal Meadows, Excess Express and Fort Francis sections of their respective games to the rather morbid Twilight Town, Palace of Shadow, and Sammer's Kingdom return ones). And the Mario & Luigi series? Same. Superstar Saga was mostly comedic, Partners in Time was arguably the darkest Mario game ever released, and Bowser's Inside Story went back to being somewhat comedic again. Although they all do have their dark moments (like the Hooniversity in the first game, Dark Bowser/Dark Star in Bowser's Inside Story, or Bowser's Dream in Dream Team).

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_8ac4e993	comment	The Gundam franchise as a whole goes through this, with series varying from Zeta Gundam to Gundam ZZ, to Victory Gundam to G Gundam, from Gundam Wing to Gundam SEED to Gundam 00. Zeta to ZZ is a miniature example in and of itself. Yoshiyuki Tomino himself said that Zeta was too dark and depressing, and thus made ZZ light-hearted because he felt that anime should make people happy. However, this seems to have resulted in over-correction, resulting in ZZ being very silly at the start before evening out later on, which has led some fans to apply Fanon Discontinuity to just the early episodes. Tomino himself has this as applied to his whole body of work; It's been a common observation of his fans that Tomino tends to alternate between lighter works and depressing character dramas. Be Invoked, for instance, was directly followed by Xabungle, which was then followed by Aura Battler Dunbine. The tonal shift between Zeta and ZZ is a continuation of Tomino's established pattern, as ZZ was made directly after Zeta.

Especially notable is the start of season five when we jump from a Beatles tribute to the Cory Monteith memorial - the writers wanted to start the season on a positive note.

The first book is a straightforward, dragon-centric adventure story, with a fairly dark plot, a villain who's actively insane, and serious Character Development moments. The second book is a much more lighthearted romp, with a less serious plot, a goofier antagonist (who is, at heart, an overprotective mother), fluffy relationship drama, and its hero is the fairly stubborn Tsunami (who doesn't change much). The third book swings back around to having Glory as its protagonist, who may have one of the darkest psyches ever explored in a children's book (a highly abused dragon girl with deeply ingrained Boomerang Bigotry), as well as the series' most unsettling plot yet. The fourth book brings back the relationship fluff and introduces a new Plucky Comic Relief in the form of Fatespeaker while keeping the dramatic plot. And the fifth book stars Sunny, the local cutie and eternal optimist—so naturally it has some of the heaviest character moments yet.

Two more miniseries were done connected to the humorous part of Season 9 - that was half throwback to the show's early military comedy, half dramatic flashbacks that were made with an Art Shift.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece should be called Cerebus Rollercoaster: The Series. To put it simply, a given arc will typically start with lighthearted moments between the Straw Hats on the ship, which continues once they get on their current island, although there will be hints of darker action. Then trouble starts, and the Straw Hats are once again fighting for their lives against a gang of villains, who will typically be led by a Jerkass at best. Subjects such as war, racism, slavery or the death of one's loved ones may become prominent. After the end of the struggle, things go back to being lighthearted, even with occasional jokes about the life-or-death experiences. Even fights can rapidly switch from serious to silly, such as when Zoro accidentally ends up handcuffed to Usopp, and the two of them and their opponents (who refuse to work together) argue over how to resolve the situation.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_9ef055f4	comment	The Ratchet & Clank series tends to run on this trope, though whether it plays it straight, downplays it, or outright goes into Cerebus Syndrome territory depends on the game in question. But mostly it tends to shift between being a light-hearted space opera with humor not unlike something you'd see in a Dreamworks movie, to clashing with villains that have a history of destroying planets, committing galactic genocide, or enslaving other galactic heroes into becoming gladiators... then moves back to the light-hearted stuff again.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: PokÃ©mon Adventures. The series' many arcs vary in intensity. The arcs of the first two generations are known to be pretty violent for kids' standards but future arcs tended to tone it down...but then the BW arc ends with arguably the biggest, most painful tearjerker in the entire series and the XY arc starts with the protagonist already broken and his hometown razed to the ground. Not to mention the bad guys are actively chasing and trying to kill him and his friends, further feeding into his massive trust and guilt issues. To a lesser extent, this occurs in PokÃ©mon: The Series as well. Overall, it's more lighthearted and less serious than the games, never really going into the deeper themes and focusing on the innocent adventures of Ash and co.; however, the show frequently has some darker episodes, especially if a villain other than the Rocket trio is involved. While every sub-series undergoes this to an extent, most notably the PokÃ©mon: The Original Series tended to shift in tone dramatically on an episode-by-episode basis depending on who was on writing duty (mainly, anything Takeshi Shudo wrote had a good chance of being dramatic), so there are episodes where a PokÃ©mon almost dies airing alongside ones filled to the brim with the early anime's rather wacky, bizarre brand of comedy, and PokÃ©mon the Series: Black & White (aka Best Wishes) had characters with rather exaggerated personality traits, and an Ash who had Took a Level in Dumbass, but at the same time made the Team Rocket trio way more competent, made Team Rocket in general a looming Arc Villain, and later introduced Team Plasma and included N's tragic backstory. This also happened with entire generations of the show, with PokÃ©mon the Series: XY and XYZ coming right off the heels of the Decolora Islands arc, and being noticeably more dramatic than previous series, especially a four-part series starring a teenage protagonist who becomes an Unwitting Pawn of the Big Bad, peaking towards the end of XYZ only to follow it up with the Slice of Life format, Denser and Wackier PokÃ©mon the Series: Sun & Moon, which also takes a turn for the dramatic when the mascot legendaries and Aether Foundation enters the picture. Another seasonal example can be seen within Generation 5 (Unova), with the aforementioned Decolora Islands season coming right after Best Wishes, even returning Jessie, James, and Meowth to their old incompetent selves and reducing the competence of their PokÃ©mon by several levels with no explanation. PokÃ©mon Journeys: The Series falls more in line with the original series, while far more lighthearted than every series prior? Still managed to those a few dramatic curveball episodes here and there.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_9ff4a8d9	comment	Godzilla, being the longest-running film series in history, is well acquainted with this trope. The darkest and most horrific film of the series was the original, a somber and intelligent allegorical parable about nuclear warfare. Over the next two decades, the series gradually shifted to more and more campy, child-friendly fare, then took a sudden serious turn just in time for the series to take a ten-year hiatus. 1984's The Return of Godzilla set up a new continuity that, while not dealing with the previous themes of nuclear war nearly as extensively or didactically, still maintained a consistently serious tone. The third sub-series, in which every movie (save Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., a direct sequel to the movie preceding it) established its own continuity, ranged everywhere from outrageously campy and over-the-top to the most serious and frightening film since the original. More recent reboots have returned to a more serious tone similar to the original.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_a33d799a	comment	Paradoxus: Downplayed. The prologue has Altalune waking from a Flashback Nightmare from when she found her mother and Stella's corpses and her sister's unconscious body at the brink of death. She then promises herself she shall Screw Destiny and save them and is comforted by a friend in a heart-warming moment. The next three chapters are more light-hearted and have their fair share of comedy — Sylvanas is saved from the Jailer by Galadwen and later we follow Bloom's antics when she is forcefully teleported to Azeroth and befriends Sylvanas and Galadwen. Some chapters later, the narration jumps back to Altalune and the present and the signs of Magix not being a Sugar Bowl world get more nuanced. However, the reader is still sheltered from the worst of it because the characters travel to a time when there was still peace. The ugly truth is only thrown in the reader's face in all of its Crapsack World glory when Altalune gets trapped into the past (she will eventually fade out) and the characters return to the present to fight a Hopeless War against the Burning Legion. From there onwards, the mood doesn't recover. The story hits its darkest point when after being tortured by the Trix, Trisha gets an overdose of angst, bites back, and starts her Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

The very first arc, Here There Be Gerblins, starts with three guys making dick jokes and fighting a Laughably Evil villain that poses little threat and ends with said three guys accidentally nuking an entire city and killing thousands of people. The arcs progress in this manner (Eleventh Hour starts with a goofy shopping montage and ends with a main character finding out he's a brainwashed villain that created an Artifact of Doom, Stolen Century starts with an easily-won bar fight in which two of the heroes con some drunk guys out of their shoes and ends with the entire cast being either killed off or brutally Mind Raped, et cetera). Even the finale is largely funny and lighthearted interspersed with a few truly disturbing moments.

You could get either a very sweet and fun outing of Loona & Octavia with some angst and the brief bits of horror, or it could be a Lovecraftian Horror chapter, filled with actions, scares, and nightmarish imagery, that will chill you to the bone. This last until Chapter 25, when the Uproar happens, throwing all of Hell into chaos and causes the rest of the story to have much more of an Eldritch Apocalypse Horror with political drama and devastating angst, with a few moments of levity on occasion.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_aca7b22d	comment	The Amazing World of Gumball, a normally upbeat and wild cartoon, unexpectedly took a turn for the dramatic with "The Treasure" which gave an explanation for the Watterson's financial troubles and featured a rather dramatic and perilous climax (With the Watterson kids going into an unfamiliar area and nearly getting badly injured in the process). The series then went back to normal light-hearted fare...then came The Finale where the series Negative Continuity is deconstructed and the Wattersons discover that their various whimsical misadventures have left long-term effects on Elmore, ultimately resulting in the family getting lynched by just about the entire town. The third season goes back and forth between sillier episodes and...some less sillier episodes that can go from Gumball and Darwin dealing with an obsessed fan and A Day in the Limelight for various background characters, to fighting an evil pet turtle, Mr. Robinson needing a life-saving operation (in way that isn't quite as played for laughs as usual), and the fact that the world Gumball lives in can just spirit you away to a nightmarish parallel universe if it deems you a "mistake". The season has both Denser and Wackier episodes, along with Serious-er and Wham-ier episodes.

When Planet Hulk's writer Greg Pak returned, he tried to restore the previous tone. The result was the Fall of the Hulks storyline, where Pak and Loeb tried to combine their styles, which didn't end well. Following that we had an increased number of more optimistic stories by Pak and then Mark Waid (and Jason Aaron's run in-between leaning into pulp action as Hulk clashed with an antagonistic Banner), only for it to end on Gerry Duggan's run, where Hulk's new personality, Doc Green, was a clear Villain Protagonist. And what followed that? Pak's Totally Awesome Hulk, where Amadeus Cho took the Hulk curse from Banner and tried to show the world a more optimistic, heroic Hulk in fun-loving stories...only for it to get dark when Banner was killed in Civil War II. The tone then went up for a few stories only to get progressively darker, until a Bittersweet Ending. And then Banner returned in Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk, which is straight out a horror story.

While most of the series is a surreal Black Comedy concerning the titular two characters (one of whom is a callous ditz and the other being a straight man), "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" opens with exactly that happening, followed by R2 chewing out Miku to such an extreme that the mood turns genuinely serious. This leads into a scene where a very hurt Miku has a heart-to-heart with her mother that's tinged with Black Comedy (because her mother is GLaDOS, and she's quite reticent to say she loves her daughter), followed by Miku tearfully attempting to make amends with R2 in a completely serious manner. After they reconcile, it switches back to comedy when Miku falls for a trap and ends up getting the two of them killed... before the episode concludes with a deadly serious PSA about suicide prevention.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_bee95fc	comment	Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya: The story repeatedly shifts between light-hearted comedy and serious drama, with when the shift will happen not always being obvious. The main system for it is having several light-hearted slice-of-life chapters, followed by a serious arc, followed by more slice-of-life chapters, so on and so forth. However, sometimes the seriousness will be intermingled with the comedy, such as the introduction and aftermath of the anti-demon mine in chapter 12. The chapters featured main character Lorem being seriously hurt after covering her baby son Gospel from the detonation of an anti-demon weapon she had hung on to for reasons even she can't explain. The following chapters are mostly comedic while interjecting scenes of Lorem being worried about her parenting abilities after the incident, with it only returning to full comedy after Chiharu and Merii help her work through her worries.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is this by design, combining high-stakes adventure episodes (which have surprisingly dark points for a TV-Y show) mostly in the season premieres and finales, with lighthearted comedy and everyday life lessons in between. It should be noted that it still doesn't skimp on the jokes and lightheartedness in the 2-part adventure episodes, however, so it's not THAT big of a shift. With the exception of the first season, each of the others' Book Ends with darker or story-changing episodes.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who does this all the time, both within the context of individual seasons and on a larger level. The classic series had a lot of wild shifts in tone, particularly whenever new people took over behind the scenes. The best example might be the tenure of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor since it lasted so long. It began with the comical "Robot", which established Four as much sillier and more alien than his predecessor. Soon it was doing far darker stories like "Pyramids of Mars" and "Genesis of the Daleks". Moral Guardians complained, so we got a Robot Buddy and much more comedy with serials like "City of Death" (written by comedic author Douglas Adams). Baker's final season, however, was comparatively grim, and death and decay was a recurring theme. Due to the production difficulties of the time (several producers, tortured budgets, and plots that had to be written around the lead actor's failing mental health), Season 3 (with the First Doctor) definitely qualifies. "Mission to the Unknown", a Bottle Episode without the Doctor in it where a bunch of people get miserably slaughtered by Daleks, is followed by "The Myth Makers", a lighthearted Bathos-based social comedy set in Troy which suddenly becomes very dark and bloody when the Greeks invade in the final episode. "The Daleks' Master Plan" is a Space Opera Arc combining an extreme body count (including the deaths of two companions) and brutal violence with the intentionally goofy villain the Monk and a ridiculous comedy episode halfway through where they get stuck on a 1920s film set and then go off to celebrate Christmas. "The Massacre" is another unusually dark episode with a Downer Ending where the Doctor is forced to ignore a genocide and has a Heroic BSoD, interrupted in the last five minutes by a giggly Cloud Cuckoo Lander Manic Pixie Dream Girl companion accidentally breaking into the TARDIS. Then we get the somewhat less relentlessly negative "The Ark", the absolutely ridiculous "The Celestial Toymaker", a comedy Musical Episode ("The Gunfighters") which again has a suddenly dark and bloody ending, and it's only by "The Savages" and "The War Machines" that the series settles back down into monster-based adventure serials. Series 2 of the revival era alternates between an invasion which the Doctor can't help stop and he may be dying and to a madcap body-snatcher romp to a tale about humans losing their humanity to cold steel shells, to a somewhat tongue-in-cheek 50's piece with a hammy villain, to demonic possession on board a lonely Sanctuary Base, to an offbeat episode commenting on ''Doctor Who'' fandom itself to all-out war between the Daleks and the Cybermen. Series 5 and 6: Matt Smith was originally a much more madcap and alien Doctor, who met a girl and took her away to see the universe. In the middle of the season, Rory gets erased from time. However, two episodes after this, [the Doctor is passing off as a human and playing football. The episode after that has the Doctor trapped in the Pandorica; Rory returning, albeit as an Auton and shooting Amy, while River is inside the TARDIS and it's exploding! And then the finale has this in spades in one episode. Chameleon Circuit summed it up quite nicely in this song. As for Series 6? It begins with The Doctor being Killed Off for Real and only gets worse from there. Other episodes in the season include a madcap pirate romp, a sinister clone saga, a horrifying "What Do They Fear?" Episode and a buddy comedy. "The Doctor's Wife" is as much of this as possible squeezed into one episode: it includes a sweet, whimsical, romantic main plot about the series' origin story, a gruesomely dark and depressing subplot about the dead Time Lords, quirky Cargo Ship-riddled bantering and shenanigans between the Doctor and the TARDIS, and a sadistic voice trapping and psychologically torturing Amy and Rory For the Evulz. Series 7 had "standalone adventure" style episodes, many of them with an at-face-value goofy, funny or gimmicky plot idea. And though there is a lot of comedy and charming moments throughout the series, it also deals with war-weariness (the Doctor and Kahler Jex), moral ambiguity (the Doctor's confrontations with certain antagonists and his inner demons rearing their ugly head), loss (the Doctor having to part with River and losing his companions in a traumatic manner), grief and depression (the Doctor retreating into himself and noting that "the universe doesn't care", though he eventually gets better), death (the deaths of Amy and Rory, the deaths of Clara's echoes, the Doctor's eventual revelation that he's out of regenerations and will probably die on Trenzalore, the death of Clara's mother hanging like a shadow over her future, Kahler Jex's bitter self-sacrifice), issues of trust (between the Doctor and Clara, due to the odd mystery surrounding her), and facing one's past (the Eleventh showing his darker side more often, and eventually revealing the existence of the War Doctor). Though the two different halves of the series prove a pretty big comedy-drama rollercoaster in virtually every episode, the 50th anniversary special that follows on from the finale is one of the most optimistic episodes in years: Even if the Doctor has to acknowledge and face some of the sadder moments of his past and legacy, there is always room for redemption, as long as one doesn't give up on hope, mercy, kindness, and the courage to set right what once went wrong. The Twelfth Doctor's tenure continues this trend. Series 8 is mostly standalone stories while Series 9 prefers multi-parters, but it's common for light adventures to suddenly swerve into tragic territory and dark ones to indulge in whimsy as the much-changed Doctor's relationship with Clara is tested again and again. "The Caretaker" has Clara trying to hide her two relationships with Danny and the Doctor from each other when the latter poses as a human at her school... but it also addresses Danny's concern that Clara will come to a bad end traveling with the alien. "Last Christmas" has brain-eating, Dream Within a Dream-weaving aliens...but Santa Claus himself helps our heroes escape them. It Makes Sense in Context. "The Girl Who Died" has the Doctor help a village of Viking farmers defeat hammy aliens... but when the cost of victory is too high to bear, he makes a rash decision that haunts him for the rest of the season. The intense "The Zygon Invasion"/"The Zygon Inversion" has cheeky comic relief and a Surprisingly Happy Ending. The tragic, massively-scaled three-part Series 9 finale starts with what could be a whimsical adventure, but certain villains are out to get the Doctor and Clara makes a well-meant choice... After that saga's Bittersweet Ending comes "The Husbands of River Song", a Christmas Episode that outstrips just about every other revival episode for wackiness then becomes a tender romance that has its own Bittersweet Ending — albeit one more sweet than bitter. Series 10 starts out episodic by way of introducing lighthearted companion Bill Potts to him, but it has a dark undercurrent in the background that moves to the forefront in episode five, "Oxygen", which ends with the Doctor blinded, leading into the Monks Trilogy mini-arc that fully reveals the season's Story Arc ( the attempted redemption of Missy). The happy ending of the trilogy leads into two lighter episodes, but the arc still holds sway and the two-part Season Finale sees sweet Bill converted into perhaps the first true Cyberman and ends with the Doctor nearly being Killed Off for Real with all his hopes for those he cared about in tatters. AND THEN a "Ray of Hope" Ending leads directly into his Grand Finale "Twice Upon a Time". Conceived only because a Christmas Episode for 2017 was needed and the incoming showrunner didn't want it to be Thirteen's debut, it's a much Lighter and Softer team-up with the First Doctor in which there's No Antagonist, Everybody Lives, and he gets positive resolution to lingering issues regarding Bill and Clara, ending Twelve's Myth Arc on a note of hope just before the traditional regeneration Cliffhanger. In the Chris Chibnall era of the show, the stories seem to alternate between rather lowkey stories in his first season, to an epic myth arc in his second. Yet even the epic myth arc has more lighthearted fare sandwiched in it, and though the lowkey stories had no world-ending stakes, the story's subject matter often spoke of racism, corporate greed, and misogyny in appropriate severity. Flux goes full serialized Myth Arc, and the two specials after that are more lighthearted than the Grand Finale seems to be. All of the Short Trips books do this due to their anthology structure. Short Trips and Sidesteps follows up the first part of a traumatically dark story where the Doctor has no powers and is just an old man abusing his granddaughter and Barbara is struggling with schizophrenia with a short story about the Fourth Doctor and Romana landing on a planet made of sweets and having a conversation with a talking cake.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_c5d0768d	comment	The Aunt Dimity series as a whole can be characterized this way. The novels have many elements of comedy and Farce, and some of the solutions to the mysteries are simple and largely non-threatening. In other portions, tragic and horrific elements appear, and the answers (e.g. terrorism, suicide, survivor's guilt, murder) are far more grim. Interestingly, the opposites tend to reinforce one another: Characters can take things so seriously that they jump to dire conclusions that are dispelled by relatively innocuous explanations, and everyone has a good laugh afterwards. Alternatively, they can go blithely forward in a misplaced confidence that nothing bad will happen until something does. There are additional benefits in avoiding saccharine extremes and keeping the audience guessing.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm starts off Lighter and Softer, then gets darker and much more serious with chapter 11. Then there are a few lighter chapters, interspersed with a lingering threat, until chapter 21, which is pure unbridled Nightmare Fuel. After that, the horror takes a step back, and it gets lighter again... then there are several chapters in which it becomes very apparent that Harry's something of a Stepford Smiler, then he deals with his issues. Then he and some new friends get kidnapped by some utterly horrific creatures. Then Harry manages to Indy Ploy his way out of trouble. Then it quietens down, with a little revelation or two about Harry's godmother of the Parents as People variety, looming threat mingled with Fudge having rings run around him and followed by the bad guys facing their first significant setback. Then we see London nearly overrun by an army of the undead, one of the secondary protagonists nearly eaten alive on screen, and Sif has her heart ripped out and Harry Dresden uses his Death Curse. Both get better courtesy of Doctor Strange. Things calm down, we get to meet a couple of new characters and it's all a bit lighter... then we find out in Chapter 50 that Lucius Malfoy has executed a coup d'etat and gained control of the Winter Soldier, making HYDRA more dangerous than ever, before chapters 53-58 deal with milder Harry related sub-plots, then chapters 59 and 60 have the kids fighting for their lives and the Winter Soldier struggling for his soul. Chapters 61 to 68 have some pretty heavy fallout, before chapter 69, a quite literal Hope Spot, before delving into the three darkest chapters in the story, then a light Christmas special, then a chapter quite literally entitled 'The Darkest Hour', before a Hope Spot in chapters 75 and 76, things getting darker in chapter 77, then darkness is finally banished at the end of chapter 78, and the good guys all have a massive party and a fairly relaxed epilogue. And then, in chapter 2 of the sequel, Ghosts of the Past, Voldemort turns up again and starts wreaking havoc. Then things quiet down as the fall-out is managed, until the end of chapter 7, when the long-anticipated Sinister/Red Room arc, Forever Red kicks off, which promptly turns out to be the darkest in the series so far, being largely composed of an absolutely brutal 8 chapter Trauma Conga Line. The details are too long to get into, but Harry is left with a monumental case of PTSD, leaving him - at the age of 14 - a semi-functional emotional wreck with a Hair-Trigger Temper. And that's not even starting on the Dark Phoenix, or Maddie's story, which is arguably even worse (short version: Jean's twin sister, stolen at birth, raised to believe she was artificial, never shown real kindness 'til she met Gambit, and believed she existed to be Sinister's Living Weapon.). However, interspersed with all the horror is Maddie steadily shaking off the conditioning of a lifetime and pulling a Heelâ€“Face Turn - underlining it by briefly wielding Mjolnir - and meeting her family, as well as learning how to make a life of her own, while Lorna (another Red Room prisoner) gets to know her father and has her mother's memories of her restored, Harry coming out of his dark funk and dealing with his issues, and other such heartwarming things, and as of chapter 22, the roller coaster seems to be on an upward swing... but with ominous hints of further darkness to come. In short, while it's rarely sudden, this is a series that specialises in Mood Whiplash.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_c74f2d3c	comment	The Diablo series seems to be riding on this. Despite its immense popularity, Diablo II was sometimes derided for not being as dark and edgy as the first game. In the books as well, the mood can range from as dark and edgy as the first game to surprisingly goofy. On the other hand, whatever funny moments the series has can prevent it from getting too dark. Diablo III regions start out at the mid-fantasy level, troubled but beautiful, and grow progressively grim-dark until you're slaughtering abominations in burning torture chambers or walking on the flayed skin of giants. Some fans derided the bleakness water-down, others liked the progression of Cerebus with grace periods for contrast. But ultimately, this is a game where you unlock a bonus level full of rainbows and unicorns after your Mission Control is brutally murdered.

It starts out with the fairly grim but still lighthearted Hunter Exam arc, which precedes the dramatic (unofficial) Zoldyck Arc. It's followed by the mostly cheery Heaven's Arena arc, only for the Yorknew Arc to show off its considerable amount of death and gore. The Greed Island arc is serious for the most part but still manages to reach a happy ending. Then of course we have the infamous Chimera Ant Arc — filled to the brim with Tear Jerkers and Nightmare Fuel, to the point that anyone who hasn't watched the show might confuse it as seinen... and now the Election Arc! which is by no means not dark, but much less miserable than the last arc with a fair amount of comedic and Heartwarming moments. This is followed by the Dark Continent and Succession War arcs that manage to be more horrifying, gorier, and more political than the preceding arcs that the Kid Heroes have to be Put on a Bus.

Then a few years in Piccolo Daimao became its Knight of Cerebus and comedic elements started to decrease in number. Stronger and crueler villains started to pop out and each next saga through Dragon Ball Z was darker than the previous one. Then the Buu Arc came, bringing back a lot of the off-the-wall humour and combining it with the epic fights and darkness, resulting in situations like Goten's mom getting killed by being turned into an egg and then stepped on. The anime version has also Dragon Ball GT, which swapped from a goofy humour-based Adventure Planets first half, to dark ultimate evil after ultimate evil second half.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_d022e3b3	comment	Total Drama Do Over started as an Alternate Universe Fic of Total Drama, with a few serious character moments, but generally very lighthearted like its source material. The fourth installment, All Stars Do Over, takes a shift for the dramatic about halfway through, largely due to the presence of Mal, who brutalizes and harasses contestants in a manner that is purely Played for Drama, capping off with a Freudian Excuse about his history of abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Revenge Do Over swings back around to a wackier tone, introducing cartoonish characters from both canon (Max, Sugar, etc.) and fanon (Krystal, Adam, etc.). However, the end of that season becomes a high-stakes drama with more tragic backstories and explorations of morality. Pahkitew Do Over starts off a bit more seriously than its predecessors, with an early arc tackling emotional abuse and slut-shaming, but gets quite heavy near the final five, introducing both another high-stakes premise and a storyline themed around family drama, grief, and sexual assault — though even these episodes are not without humor. Finally, Ridonculous Do Over returns to a tone closer to that of the canon series, with some slightly more serious arcs (such as Alejandro and Heather's breakup near the finale), but nothing as heavy as All-Stars Do Over or Pahkitew Do Over.

Then it escalates into Darker and Edgier Science Fantasy, Multiverse and mind-screw after Kaori's death and her subsequent corruption into a demon. Don't worry, the heroines get better and their status quo is maintained as Chapter 7 Episode 2 reveals that Omnis' ability is to create new realities/universes and merge the old universes where he previously screwed-up with universes he recently created (depending on his wishes and intentions), which means both alive and dead heroines (except ones who are corrupted into demons, who are replaced by copies from new universes instead of being merged) are merged with new ones from those new universes, resulting all of them alive. Despite the desperate situations in some battles against sexy demon Eldritch abominations, they managed to win their battles and end them in a much positive manner, after Tobio learns that his ability has a risk of creating more demons from his slain heroines. Tobio and the heroines also encounter their various alternate selves from alternate universes. Despite the dark aspects, some hilarities and mood whiplashes ensue. Some event scenarios tend to have Lighter and Softer than the main story.

Overall, it's more lighthearted and less serious than the games, never really going into the deeper themes and focusing on the innocent adventures of Ash and co.; however, the show frequently has some darker episodes, especially if a villain other than the Rocket trio is involved. While every sub-series undergoes this to an extent, most notably the PokÃ©mon: The Original Series tended to shift in tone dramatically on an episode-by-episode basis depending on who was on writing duty (mainly, anything Takeshi Shudo wrote had a good chance of being dramatic), so there are episodes where a PokÃ©mon almost dies airing alongside ones filled to the brim with the early anime's rather wacky, bizarre brand of comedy, and PokÃ©mon the Series: Black & White (aka Best Wishes) had characters with rather exaggerated personality traits, and an Ash who had Took a Level in Dumbass, but at the same time made the Team Rocket trio way more competent, made Team Rocket in general a looming Arc Villain, and later introduced Team Plasma and included N's tragic backstory. This also happened with entire generations of the show, with PokÃ©mon the Series: XY and XYZ coming right off the heels of the Decolora Islands arc, and being noticeably more dramatic than previous series, especially a four-part series starring a teenage protagonist who becomes an Unwitting Pawn of the Big Bad, peaking towards the end of XYZ only to follow it up with the Slice of Life format, Denser and Wackier PokÃ©mon the Series: Sun & Moon, which also takes a turn for the dramatic when the mascot legendaries and Aether Foundation enters the picture. Another seasonal example can be seen within Generation 5 (Unova), with the aforementioned Decolora Islands season coming right after Best Wishes, even returning Jessie, James, and Meowth to their old incompetent selves and reducing the competence of their PokÃ©mon by several levels with no explanation. PokÃ©mon Journeys: The Series falls more in line with the original series, while far more lighthearted than every series prior? Still managed to those a few dramatic curveball episodes here and there.

Yet, the show becomes much Darker and Edgier in the S season, then dives into more whimsical, childish, fairytale-like territory in Super S before getting darker yet in Stars.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park has plenty of episodes that deal with both lighthearted and serious themes, even at once. For instance, "Raisins" has a main plot of Stan being depressed after a breakup with Wendy, and a much more comedy-focused subplot of Butters thinking a Hooters-type waitress is actually his girlfriend. "Marjorine", a mostly silly episode about Butters going undercover as a girl to steal a fortune teller, has a very disturbing opening of him faking his death and his parents' subsequent grief.

In one scene, you'll help a flamboyantly gay French tailor find softcore porn so that he'll make dresses for one of your party member's animated doll. Then there'll be a quiet scene in which the protagonist reflects on his time with his now-dead girlfriend, and tries to come to terms with his own impending death. Then another of your party members will demonstrate his 'found art' approach to fighting by wielding an inexplicably miniaturized nuclear submarine as a bludgeon. Then you run into the Plucky Comic Relief from the last game, who has developed from a klutzy goofball sergeant into a grim and ominous Colonel Badass after the woman he loved was assassinated in front of him immediately after he finally worked up the courage to tell her how he felt.

Pak's Totally Awesome Hulk, where Amadeus Cho took the Hulk curse from Banner and tried to show the world a more optimistic, heroic Hulk in fun-loving stories...only for it to get dark when Banner was killed in Civil War II. The tone then went up for a few stories only to get progressively darker, until a Bittersweet Ending. And then Banner returned in Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk, which is straight out a horror story.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_e179ec3a	comment	Calvin & Hobbes: The Series downplays this quite a bit, though it's still kinda jarring. Season 1 is quite peppy in tone, and the Season Finale isn't too bad. Season 2 is a bit more adventure-focused but still ideal. The Season Finale, has a woman attempting to behead Calvin (though said woman is Stupid Evil, so it's all good). Season 3 is the same as the second (aside from "The Five Calvins", which came out of nowhere in the middle of the season and was rarely mentioned afterwards). Then "Thunderstorm" comes, introducing two serious villains who actually manage to Take Over the World, along with Hobbes finally getting over his Cowardly Lion nature. Not even Calvin's clever Mind Screw Batman Gambit helps! Season 4 mostly reverts back to comedy, albeit even more adventurous in tone, gets another whopper with "Our Solemn Hour", which cements Holographic Retro's status as a true villain and getting even more somber, ending on a fatal cliffhanger. Dang. Aside from revealing Retro didn't make it, Season 5 is still comedic in tone. In short: Most of the series is comedic, but the later Season Finales are insane, and the series itself gets a little darker in tone over time.

Many episodes were quirky and surreal and filled with 60s sci-fi elements, while others were darker, more realistic, and often psychologically unsettling. It became even more noticeable in the last few episodes: the most lighthearted episode of the whole series ("The Girl Who Was Death") came right before the strikingly dark "Once Upon a Time" and the infamously bizarre "Fall Out".

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_e2aa3bec	comment	The Dead Island series had seemingly had a miscommunication between programmers Techland and developers Deep Silver in that when it was first revealed in 2007 it was basically a zombie outbreak on a tropical island. Then when the game was revived in 2011 it went a much different route that seemed to want to outdarken The Walking Dead based on the trailers and some of the in-game content. Titles such as Riptide or Escape play up the horror or psychological themes, but at the same time, there is humor in the game if you look for it, goofy elements and the games can very much be an action-filled case of Play the Game, Skip the Story for those who aren't interested.

Then it ends with a major, if short war, and some life-changing events therein. Book two returns to the light and fluffy, focusing at first on Naruto and Hinata's relationship now that they are officially a couple, and their growth as ninjas. Then in the second half Naruto gets kidnapped, and his friends go AWOL to rescue him. Several major characters die, and other are irrevocably changed. Then the first novella of book three goes back to Naruto and Hinata's relationship, having them deal with some interference from her grandfather. The rest of the novellas in book three are much darker, killing more major characters and pushing others to their breaking point. Then book four is about the Fourth Ninja War. Again there are a few lighter moments early on, but in general, the tone is the most serious, even if it is not quite as dark as the last two parts of book three. And then it has a happy, fluffy ending.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_e3f5e738	comment	The A Twisted Tale series is often inconsistent with the violence levels among its installments. In general, most of the books are varying degrees of Darker and Edgier compared to the Disney Animated Canon movies they are based on. The violence reaches its peak in the books A Whole New World and Once Upon a Dream, featuring gruesome deaths, blood, and ruthless villains. Part of Your World is near the middle, with a more serious tone and darker themes than its base movie, but not outright gruesome. At the opposite end of the scale, Conceal, Don't Feel is Lighter and Softer, a stark outlier from the other dark Twisted Tales. It is the only Twisted Tale that does not show any blood whatsoever. what little violence in this installment never exceeds what is already in the movie it is based on.

Cerebus Rollercoaster / int_eab90aec	comment	This trope is what makes the Yakuza series so effective at what it does. On one hand, you have a main story with several layers of traditional crime drama tropes full of betrayals, conspiracies, death, and the like, but once you're let out in the world you can forget about all that and indulge in some of the silliest side-content in gaming. One example in 0: One minute you're beating your way through an entire building just to prove your innocence and your best friend is forced to kill you for your sake only to break down before he can do it. Immediately after, you could win a chicken in a bowling game, who somehow has a 3 star rating as a real estate manager. There's a reason why "Yakuza is a serious crime drama" is said both as a straight and ironic descriptor for the series.

Season 2 was Lighter and Softer, downplaying most of the magic and focusing more on a Love Triangle and Melodrama in the sisters' love lives.

It's a franchise that can shift from being a wacky family-friendly Gag Series to a dark, gritty Seinen drama with little to no humor. For instance, Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, an extremely dark, violent, Nightmare Fuel-filled series, got followed up by Lupin III: The Italian Adventure, a Shōnen series with plenty of humor and a relatively light-hearted, adventurous plot. Then that got followed up with Lupin III: Part 5, which, while not to the same extent as Fujiko Mine, had a much darker, grounded, and more ominous plot, and a lot more violence.
