Character Exaggeration	comment	The vague but noticeable change in a character's personality or habits in newer adaptations. Interestingly, it is more common for traits to be overemphasized (or even changed completely) rather than deemphasized. Unlike Flanderization, this version of the character appears like this initially rather than gradually evolving to it; most of the time it just happens that the 'new' version is based on the end-product of the 'old' version's long and changing development. Similarly, production time often limits the amount a character can appear, in which case the most 'important' traits are emphasized to make the character distinctive. More negatively, subtlety can be lost if Executive Meddling changes the character to establish more broad appeal to some proven demographic. If something a character has said or done only once (or very rarely) becomes exaggerated in the minds of the audience to the point that it almost defines that character, that's Never Live It Down. Parodies are especially prone to this. That said, Tropes Are Not Bad and some examples are actually more popular and better-developed than their originals (though others...aren't). Compare with Ascended Extra, which is done to obscure characters to make them ostensibly prominent. Contrast Out-of-Character Moment. See also Character Check, when the writers try to reverse this, if only momentarily. May cause an Adaptational Skill (e.g. a character with an interest in other cultures becomes an Omniglot in an adaptation).

Character Exaggeration / int_10b03dcf	comment	Batman: Arkham Asylum and especially Batman: Arkham City fare better in showing Bane to be intelligent and a potential ally to Batman. However, according to the in-game character profile Venom nearly triples his body mass and without it he's an average-sized Joe. Batman: Arkham Origins, done by a different company but still set in the same world, reverts Bane to probably the closest version of his original characterization. The plot of the game sets him up as The Dragon to The Joker, but in such a way it is clear he is the most intelligent and powerful enemy Batman faces that night, arguably even including the Joker. It also offers a justification for later portrayals in the series: for the final battle he uses an experimental modification of Venom which causes him to beef up to the ludicrous proportions seen in Asylum, but has brain-damaging side effects — including wiping his memory of Batman's Secret Identity.

Character Exaggeration / int_18a679c9	comment	A number of LEGO Island characters were exaggerated when they appeared in Dino Attack RPG: A minor note in the LEGO Island Comic Adventures stated that the Brickster wished to be as evil as Evil Ogel. In Dino Attack RPG, the Brickster has been exaggerated to the point of being Ogel's self-proclaimed #1 fanboy. Especially in Atton Rand and imperial officer's posts, Enter and Return have been exaggerated to the point that the only jokes they are capable of are variations of their "stretcher, megaphone, shark, tree, umbrella, and mailbox" sketch. In some other peoples' posts, their humor extends a little farther (for example, in one of PeabodySam's posts, they were arguing about the color of their shirts), but for the most part, we only hear jokes about bringing a shark. In the non-canon scene where Papa Brickolini was arrested by the Nick Brick, the Brickolinis were exaggerated heavily. In the original games, the Brickolinis spoke with a light Italian accent and accidentally freed the Brickster twice (and the second time, they were smart enough to try to prevent it from happening again). In this scene, the Brickolinis' Italian accents were exaggerated, and the two chefs were depicted as completely oblivious as they incompetently freed the Brickster again and again over the years by constantly sending super-spicy pizzas to the jail, even after what happened the first two times.

Character Exaggeration / int_1af341a1	comment	In the Disgaea games, you can recruit the protagonists of the past games as bonus characters. However, their personality is reduced to one or two of their traits tuned up. It's most noticeable with Laharl and Etna, the two main characters of the first game. Laharl was a the son of the previous Overlord, who started as a arrogant brat who hated love but matured into a responsible Overlord. Etna was his vassal, who was jealous of him for getting all the attention of his father, who she admired and saw as a paternal figure to herself, but as Laharl matured, she started to see that he was more than a spoiled brat and learned to respect him. In every subseqÃ¼ent appearance, Laharl is a arrogant brat Overlord who wants to be the main character again to get more screentime and is an ass to his peers, while Etna is on a quest to gain more power to defeat Laharl, who she deeply dislikes. Etna also had two minor traits increased by a lot: she is complexed by her flat chest (a point raised in one line in the first game) and that she's a sweet tooth (also mentioned once in the first game, and became her difining trait in spinoffs, where she is always looking for some legendary candy).

Character Exaggeration / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach filler tends to take the distilled essence of each character and blow it up until the character is as one-dimensional as they come. For example, despite being Ax-Crazy, Kenpachi is actually an insightful warrior as shown numerous times throughout the series (such as when he notes that Gin and Tousen are the only captains afraid to die and when he fights enemies whom brute force can't win against). In filler and movies, though, Kenpachi is offscreen until the fighting starts, at which point he just runs in laughing and slashing without any form of thought or development whatsoever.

The anime has her abuse her own allies by tricking Ascot into giving his own creature a Deadly Upgrade and freezing him solid when he protests, then having her contemplate Murder the Hypotenuse over Emeraude. Oddly, she also becomes more sympathetic than the original because she survives into the second season as a broken woman. Innouva serves as Zagato's Number Two in the anime, and he's rather contemptuous of the other minions. In the Sega Saturn game his diary entries are about him being Surrounded by Idiots and he executes them when they fail.

Character Exaggeration / int_27c708b3	comment	Rosario + Vampire: The anime plays up the seductive aspect of Kurumu's personality while downplaying her more kindhearted side. In the original manga, Kokoa was a Tsundere, and while she preferred Inner Moka over Outer Moka, she was far more tolerant of Outer and didn't actually hate her. Capu2 exaggerated said Tsundere tendencies to make her a borderline Jerkass, and turned her preference for Inner Moka into full-blown hatred for Outer Moka to the extent that Kokoa flat-out refuses to acknowledge Outer Moka as her sister. Kurumu and Mizore's respective parents, Ageha and Tsurara, had a bit of a Friendly Enemy relationship. Capu2 turns them into lifelong rivals since at least their days at Yokai Academy, and has them use their daughters' respective crushes on Tsukune to wage a proxy war against one another.

Character Exaggeration / int_28c6afce	comment	When Thomas & Friends diverted into original stories, many of the original characters from The Railway Series underwent exaggeration, most of which only elevated as the show went on and Flanderization kicked in: Gordon and James in particular became exaggeratedly vain and hammy, originally just the arrogant big engines of the main line. Edward and Toby actually did have odd insecure moments in the original novels, albeit very subtle and rare (eg. Edward being downtrodden by the bullying of the other engines, or Toby being meek towards travelling without Henrietta) with them usually playing the Only Sane Man. Later writers of the TV series seemed to latch onto these for token flaws they could utilize for limelight episodes, and by the time of the CGI transition, Edward is an Extreme Doormat and Toby is a Lovable Coward.

Character Exaggeration / int_2e974345	comment	A3 has a complicated case with Homare Arisugawa. In the original and the CN/TW version of the game, Homare's speech is formal and direct although he plays with words and metaphors sometimes. Very rarely, Homare uses Gratuitous French in these versions. However, the EN localization takes these wordplays, metaphors, and Gratuitous French up to eleven, resulting in him being very verbose, often unnecessarily. He also tends to use "dear" before addressing others, causing him to sound more poetic, affectionate, and flamboyant in EN localization. On the other hand there is the inversion. Homare becomes Lighter and Softer in EN localization because of not only the added flamboyance and poetic flair drown the darker aspects of his character, but also how the wording of EN localization tones down his Heroic Self-Deprecation. The original alongside the CN/TW version has Homare describe himself as a defective product since birth and say that he is hated, whereas EN localization simply has him describe himself to be broken since birth and say that no one likes him.

Character Exaggeration / int_30940081	comment	Grand Theft Auto V: The Project Homecoming servers for the game's FiveM mod does this to some cars that, in vanilla GTAV, have handling quirks or whatnot. The versions of these cars, which are placed in the "Meme Vehicles" category, takes these quirks and take them up. Vamos: In the vanilla game, this muscle car has excessive amounts of toe-out on the front wheels, which causes the steering to randomly wander, to the point that when one takes a constant radius corner in one direction, the steering might have a chance to randomly flip to the other direction for a split second. While Project Homecoming fixes this issue by adjusting the front toe values, the vanilla car's quirk spawned a meme version, The Sentient Vamos, which takes that trait up to eleven by, well, making the steering sentient and literally have a mind of its own. Habanero: For crossover with relatively low ground clearance, it just likes to roll over quite a lot. The Habaneroll will practically roll on cue if you so much as take corners just a tiny bit too fast. Tyrus: This GT1 racer has a quirk where weight shifts in the opposite direction of where it's supposed to go (ie. Inverted suspension forces). For example, when accelerating, weight shifts to the front rather to the back, and the car basically leans into turns. The Tyrus Effect takes the "Leaning into turns" aspect up to eleven, where the car, when taking a turn, will have the side opposite to where it's turning literally lift off the ground (eg. When turning left, the right side of the car leaves the ground). Comet Safari: Both the near chase and far chase camera viewpoints are set further back than usual. The Comet Toofari edits the viewpoints for all the cameras except for the interior cam and puts them waaaaaaaay behind the car, Art of Rally style, and to enforce the use of this viewpoint, the car's windows and windshield have been made opaque so that it cannot be effectively driven from the interior cam.

Likewise, Sakura goes from only occasionally hitting Naruto when he does something perverted, to beating him at every opportunity. Tsunade's temper is even shorter in the anime fillers, as she tends to yell at Naruto more often and twice threatens to send him back to the academy and started beating the shit out of Sora because she thought he called her old. Hinata tends to faint quite a bit more often around Naruto, while she only fainted twice in the manga (once when going to visit him in the hospital after the Sasuke Retrieval arc- which was not shown- and when she sees him for the first time after the Time Skip).

In several other interpretations such as A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and What's New, Scooby-Doo? he is also more ditzy and oblivious; in the original series he was bumbling but only as much as the others in Mystery Inc. (if somewhat ineffective as a leader).

Character Exaggeration / int_36c89d24	comment	Hannibal greatly plays up Hannibal Lecter's Lack of Empathy and his Manipulative Bastard tendencies while somewhat downplaying his famous Affably Evil personality. In the books, Lecter utterly baffled psychologists by being sincerely kind, polite and charming towards people he respected, yet utterly ruthless towards people he considered beneath him—to the point of viewing them as livestock. Mads Mikkelsen's interpretation doesn't lack charm, but he's generally more the latter than the former. Case in point: it's hard to imagine Anthony Hopkins saying something like "It's only cannibalism if we're equals".

Character Exaggeration / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball Z has an example with Frieza's Bad Boss tendencies. He was a Bad Boss in the manga to be sure, but he wasn't prone to killing subordinates. In the anime, he kills his minions at the drop of a hat, reasons varying from "failing him", to "being no longer useful", to "speaking out of turn", to "just needing a target". Goku also qualifies in a different way, as he's hit with a lot of Adaptational Heroism in the anime (both the original and dub). Akira Toriyama himself has commented that he's always been dissatisfied with Goku's "righteous hero" portrayal in the anime and that he was originally meant to be a rather selfish character who fights for himself rather than others, and just happens to end up in world-saving situations a lot. Dragon Ball Super brings him back in line with Toriyama's original concept, with Goku openly admitting at one point that he's a pretty selfish guy who only really cares about fighting (though he adds that he can't ignore people in danger, showing that he does have some heroic traits). On the other hand, this actually caused a backlash against the character, with some viewers declaring that Super turned him into a Jerkass. Vegeta used to be an incredibly pragmatic fighter in early Z, doing things like throwing sand on Zarbon's eyes, sneaking up on Guldo while he was distracted to behead him, and ganging up on Recoome with Krillin and Gohan. Only once did he display any sort of Bond Villain Stupidity, and that was when he gave Goku three hours to arrive from the afterlife, specifically with the purpose of punishing him as a "traitor". It was this moment that stuck the most to his characterization post Frieza-saga, with him making increasingly stupid decisions just to get a better fight and satisfy his Blood Knight tendencies. The anime makes Chi-Chi more of a bossy, short-tempered Education Mama compared to the manga, to the point where she literally considers Gohan's schooling more important than saving the world. In the case of Android 16, the anime plays up his Friend to All Living Things trait, which was more an Informed Attribute in the manga. An example of character exaggeration done right.

Character Exaggeration / int_4037825e	comment	Similar to the Japanese examples above, the classic Chinese pseudo-historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms flanderizes many, many of its characters into over-the-top superheroes, while others are portrayed as moustache-twirling villains. The "three brothers" of the Shu kingdom (Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei) are the closest thing the story has to protagonists, and thus can do no wrong (with a couple of notable, even fatal, exceptions), while the Wei kingdom are flanderized into the Bad Guys and the Wu kingdom are mostly ineffectual in the long term, despite possessing many excellent generals. Perhaps the most notable flanderizing going on other than the Brothers' is as follows; Lu Bu's combat prowess is exaggerated to the point of near invincibility, and entire armies flee from the sight of him. Seems to fade as the story goes on though, and his death is as anticlimactic as it comes; both Cao Cao and Liu Bei agree that the captured Lu Bu is too treacherous to be allowed to live, and he's simply hanged after begging for his life. The wuss. Zhuge Liang's tactical genius, to the point that he comes off as somewhere between a wizard and a saint, performs several acts that are only plausible if one considers him to have magical powers (besides his practical omniscience), and even manages to humiliate and terrify his Wei rival posthumously.

Ulysses is a deceitful blowhard who talks too much and is obsessed with his own cleverness; Ajax (the one who didn't offend the gods) is a musclebound dolt; Achilles is even more of a jerk than his Homer-penned counterpart; and Cressida's uncle Pandarus is so flamboyant that modern performances often portray him as a drag queen. A lot of these exaggerations make the play far more entertaining, as it is essentially a cynical deconstruction of the tired ground of the Trojan War.

Where Karkat is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Caliborn is a Comedic Sociopath. Where Karkat has a soft spot for romcoms and romance, Caliborn gets a perverse sexual pleasure out of ordinary non-sexual shows of romantic affection such as hugging. Where Karkat is a pretty terrible artist, Caliborn is so impossibly bad that a pile of coloured scribbles◊ is what passes for a drawing in his eyes. Even Caliborn's one-sided relationship with Dirk could be seen to hark back to Karkat's unrequited blackrom interest in John. The theory makes even more sense considering Caliborn and Karkat have similar text colors and the exact same blood color. The Dancestors, full stop, Damara and Meenah are the only ones that don't seem to be exaggerated versions of their post-scratch counterparts, being pretty much polar opposites of Aradia and Feferi's personalities. Rufioh is Tavros's lack-of self confidence and general Chick Magnet properties. Mituna is Sollux's cryptic speeches and game references. Kankri is Karkat's inability to shut up and self-consciousness about his blood color. Meulin is Nepeta's shipping tendencies and cat puns. Porrim is Kanaya's fashion obsession and status as Team Mom. Latula is Terezi's fascination with "cool kids." Aranea is Vriska's tendency to learn everything about a game and act in a morally divisive way. Horuss is Equius's fascination with horses and mechanics. Kurloz is Gamzee's religious fanaticism and clown obsession. Cronus is Eridan's fascination with wizards and his tendency to focus on relationships.

Character Exaggeration / int_50e2e357	comment	Star Trek (2009): James Kirk bears much more resemblance to the pop-culture idea of Captain Kirk than the actual original series character. The original Kirk was a brave, levelheaded starship captain who was occasionally forced to hasty decisions on the job, and had a tendency to attract the attentions of beautiful women — which he very rarely reciprocated. The new Kirk is a hotheaded, womanizing maverick who openly rebels against authority at every opportunity, and gets into bar brawls when he's not wearing a Starfleet uniform. Several other characters are exaggerated as well, and in ways which are harder to explain away as immaturity. For example, Chekov went from simply being the youngest person on the bridge crew to a genius child prodigy who is assigned to the bridge while still a minor, and his accent is more ridiculous than ever. Instead of just having fencing as a hobby, Sulu now has a fancy collapsible space katana which he apparently regularly takes along with him on dangerous away missions. Instead of just being the token girl on the bridge crew, Uhura is Kirk's old crush from the Academy, and she ends up sleeping with Spock. Instead of just a hyper-competent engineer with a cheery, laid-back personality, Scotty is a kooky genius inventor who develops a revolutionary warp system and does experiments on beagles. Spock's half-human half-Vulcan dual nature manifests in a nearly bipolar tendency to flit between detached intellectual coldness and intense emotional outbursts. All of this is in theory justified. Due to time travel shenanigans that resulted in the destruction of the Kelvin, these characters all lived very different lives and became different people. A lot of this Kirk's acting out is the result of his being raised without a father. Nonetheless, by the time of Star Trek Beyond, we appear to have reached the Close-Enough Timeline, as everyone's characters have more or less developed to be more in line with their familiar portrayal.

The most infamous example being the regular screams of "Onii-sama" by Miyuki, who in the original novel is noticeably more quiet. It even turned her into a Scrappy in the west, despite being liked in Japan. Much of this is due to the adaptation cutting out many explanations and internal monologues, leaving Tatsuya and his sister showing only their external side, which is what attracted hatred. As a result, the adaptation only strengthened the reputation of this title among western audiences as epitomising all the worst traits and clichÃ©s of light novels.

Character Exaggeration / int_5ae17aed	comment	The Roots (2016) remake noticeably exaggerates the level of African cultural knowledge of later generations of the Kinte family relative to their book counterparts: In the book, Kizzy learns only a handful of Mandinka words from her father Kunta, never really speaks the language, and can later remember only a few words to pass on to her own son George. In the 2016 series, Kizzy is brought up as fluently bilingual in both English and Mandinka, regularly speaks to her father in the latter, and is shown still able to speak it fluently well into her later life (long after she last had anyone else to speak it with). While in both book and series Kunta remains a devout Muslim and strongly anti-Christian (as he sees Christianity as the masters' religion), in the book Kizzy is raised as a Christian from birth and remains one her entire life. In the series, by contrast, she is shown to inherit her father's anti-Christian sentiment and holds it throughout her life. In the book, while Kunta does perform a traditional Mandinka baby naming ceremony for Kizzy after her birth, this is never repeated by later generations. In the series, while each generation remembers less and less of the ceremony, they do nevertheless remember it. In the series, Kunta makes an African-style necklace of beads shortly after his arrival in America, which is passed down the generations. A similar process takes place with a song taught to Kunta by his mother back in Gambia (which is eventually adapted into a popular local folk tune by whites). Neither exists in the book. With the exception of Tom Lea (who was already a harsh and crudely racist master in the books), all the Kinte family's owners are portrayed as more openly racist and antagonistic than their book counterparts. Patricia Lea, however, goes in the opposite direction. Her few book appearances show her as more or less indifferent to the slaves' fates, but in the series her role is enhanced and she shows noticeable more care and kindness for Kizzy (who teaches her to read) and George than her husband.

Your character is a Technical Pacifist who sees one injustice too many? Nothing in your sight can be unjust without spectacularly aggressive intervention!

In the four books she has appeared in she only kills people in A Feast for Crows, and all four were monstrous war criminals who were trying to kill her. In the series Brienne is a much more violent character, remorselessly cutting down people even murdering the wounded Stannis Baratheon while deliberately speaking to him spitefully. The series also makes Brienne more bad-tempered, cynical and rude, rather then the rather naive but ultimately kind-hearted character in the books.

Character Exaggeration / int_64dd58b2	comment	The Harry Potter movies: In the movies, Snape is suavely and delicately malicious. The Snape of the books can be snarky at times, but he's just as likely to be loud-mouthed and unsubtle. You couldn't picture Alan Rickman's Snape throwing the fit the character throws at the end of the book version of Prisoner of Azkaban. While they probably did this because a lot of shouting doesn't translate well to the screen, the change has certainly helped to increase the character's popularity. In the sixth movie, Jessie Cave took the Sickening Sweetheart part of Lavender's character and played it to the hilt. Miranda Richardson on playing Rita Skeeter: "Rita reads rather differently than how I played her. She reads more, to me, like Dame Edna. And there's no way I'm going to do Dame Edna. So it's a different twist on the character." Happens rather dramatically to the Crouches in the fourth movie. Barty Crouch Sr., the one on the "good" side, went from being a kind of wizarding Senator McCarthy in the book to being a completely sympathetic character in the movie. Barty Crouch Jr., on the other hand, became a little psycho, never bothering with his Innocent Bystander act and basically screaming "Hi, I'm evil!" in every scene he appeared in as himself. And the change in his father's characterization eliminated his potential Freudian Excuse. The change is most clearly seen by the fact that in the book, Crouch Sr. sends his son to Azkaban out of pure spite, but in the film it's stated, "He had no choice." Crouch Jr. is crying and begging him not to do it in the book. In the movie, he's twitching his eyes, licking his lips, and cackling. Yeeeah... Helena Bonham Carter takes Bellatrix's insanity and plays it up to make her childishly thrilled by such things as getting to torture and murder people. In the books, Ginny is a Fiery Redhead, but in the movies she comes off more as a Girl Next Door. This may not really sound like an exaggeration per se, but it does play up an aspect of her book self's personality. Ron is a lot more cowardly and much more of a Sidekick than he was in the books. His Deadpan Snarker tendencies get quite a downgrade in the films, too, though that might be more Rupert Grint's take on the character than an adaptation change.

Notable examples: Super Robot Wars V plays up Athrun Zala's status as a Chick Magnet by having nearly every girl he meets start crushing on him, including and in fact especially the lesbians from Cross Ange. Super Robot Wars X takes Exev making a single comment telling one of his subordinates to remove a drill from a robot they were designing, something meant to showcase that Exev was a serious villain without the comedy of Might Gaine's other antagonists and followed by an Ironic Echo when that same drill is later used to kill him, and exaggerates it into a pathological hatred of all things drill-related. Since Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is in the game, Exev has plenty to complain about.

Character Exaggeration / int_6dbe6646	comment	The DiC cartoons were guilty of this, particularly SatAM: Sonic's Mascot with Attitude trait and arrogance were exaggerated to the point of parody, to the point other characters would complain about him acting too full of himself during serious moments. Similarly, his impulsiveness was taken up to eleven, making him into a Book Dumb Idiot Hero — particularly in the second season, where he had a penchant to screw up based on said trait on a regular basis. His Sonic Underground characterization was guilty of similar exaggerations, albeit to a considerably lesser extent. Tails' role as Sonic's more inexperienced, younger sidekick was exaggerated to the point of getting demoted to a Non-Action Guy and occasional Tag Along Kid. Toward the tail end of the series he joins the Freedom Fighters and becomes more useful, but never reaches his game counterpart's level of competency and fighting capabilities. He fared a bit better in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, where he would always accompany Sonic and aid him in any way he could, but would almost as often fall into the role of Distressed Dude. When Sonic 1 was localized, Dr. Eggman/Robotnik got turned into a more serious and threatening-looking villain in an example of American Kirby Is Hardcore. Then SatAM took it up to eleven, giving him an even more intimidating design, an edgier personality devoid of any affableness and whimsicality, and having him take over the world before the series began.

Character Exaggeration / int_78929a89	comment	Arthur's nephew Gawain in the earliest literature is seen as the best Knight. In Robert Wace's Brut, very closely adapted from Historia Regum Britanniae, Gawain mentions that peace can be useful because among other things it enables the love of ladies. In ChrÃ©tien de Troyes' work Gawain is portrayed as overly interested in the ladies, having a few affairs, but still a fairly decent Knight. Gawain sleeping around is maintained in most adaptations. However in the Post-Vulgate Cycle Gawain is turned into a rapist and treacherous scumbag. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight this is possibly played with, as the plot largely involves a Lady trying to seduce Gawain assuming that he'll sleep with her due to the stories she's heard about him and Gawain courteously refusing her advances. The mobile game Fate/Grand Order makes him a noble but open Chivalrous Pervert who not only answers honestly about how he believes in Buxom Beauty Standard but also has some Incest Subtext with his aunt Altrianote who, along with Lancelot, tricked her into dressing like a Playboy Bunny during a Summer Event and his sister Garethnote when he mentions how he wishes she grows up to be buxom like his Faerie knight counterpart.

When a new Anarky showed up who was a Bomb-Throwing Anarchist popped up, the original was disgusted by him and dismissed him as having "a comic book villain's take on anarchy".

Character Exaggeration / int_88383ee7	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist (2003): Armstrong's character was exaggerated for the sake of humor, leading to him losing his shirt and showing off his muscles in almost every episode he appeared. Edward's tendency to brood became far more prominent. The writers also took a rather Out-of-Character Moment for Alphonse in the manga, wherein he has a Freak Out after his encounter with Barry The Chopper, and made naivete and bouts of irrationality a consistent part of the anime version of Alphonse's characterization. In the manga and Brotherhood, Solf J. Kimblee weaves a happy line between monster and Manipulative Bastard, managing to pull his fair share of both awesome and horrible moments that leaves the reader/watcher unsure what to really think of him. In the 2003 anime version, much of this background had yet to be revealed so he was reduced to a stereotypical Mad Bomber obviously meant to be hated. Basque Grand was originally an unknown due to dying before his introduction. The 2003 anime cast him as a Colonel Kilgore character who everyone was happy to see die. The manga later depicted Basque as being one of the more reasonable officers during the Ishvalan Massacre, willing to kill a superior officer in order to avert unnecessary bloodshed. Much of Roy Mustang's character was expanded just after the point where the anime Overtook the Manga. The anime team decided to use what they had but in doing so overplayed his Chivalrous Pervert personality into being him being more of a Handsome Lech. In the original manga, Roy's Chivalrous Pervert is actually a cover for his spying skills and he is more straightlaced about the subject than the 2003 anime would let you believe.

He also becomes an overly clumsy Destructive Savior and an immature Leeroy Jenkins with a major ego problem.

Character Exaggeration / int_9a396de	comment	Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1: Invoked In-Universe to hilarious effect with the fake CPUs that appear late in the game, which are exaggerated... to the point of incompetence. The fake Purple Heart searches for her objective in completely the wrong place, the fake Green Heart is so focused on video games it's completely harmless, and the fake White Heart is so much like her mild-mannered human form it blows its cover when the original start swearing. Only the fake Black Heart completes its stated object, by accident, in a failed attempt to outdo the original's ego. This is actually inverted within the game itself. After Victory exaggerated the main characters defining traits (such as Neptune's laziness, Noire's haughtiness, Blanc's aggresivness, Vert's sister obsession, and Nepgear's lack of respect) to a contentious degree, many of their more extreme quirks were toned down for the remake, making them more likable while maintaining their iconic personalities.

Character Exaggeration / int_9a7088bc	comment	James Kirk bears much more resemblance to the pop-culture idea of Captain Kirk than the actual original series character. The original Kirk was a brave, levelheaded starship captain who was occasionally forced to hasty decisions on the job, and had a tendency to attract the attentions of beautiful women — which he very rarely reciprocated. The new Kirk is a hotheaded, womanizing maverick who openly rebels against authority at every opportunity, and gets into bar brawls when he's not wearing a Starfleet uniform.

In the original novel, he's a much more serious character, although he does have some humorous moments — such as dismissing the argument comparing reviving dinosaurs to using cloning to save the California Condor by pointing out the obvious fact that dinosaurs weren't driven extinct by man-made deforestation, and oh, by the way, condors don't eat people. Although, perhaps as a nod to this change, while delirious from drugs and severe injury in the sequel novel, The Lost World (1995), he temporarily takes on a talkative, wisecracking persona similar to his movie one, although much more over-the-top.

Character Exaggeration / int_9ab064e6	comment	Les MisÃ©rables as compared to the original Les MisÃ©rables It exaggerates the degree to which Inspector Javert is single-mindedly obsessed with capturing Jean Valjean (as opposed to single-mindedly obsessed with enforcing the law generally). This is in part due to a case of Pragmatic Adaptation. In the novel, after Valjean has to reveal himself to prevent the wrongful conviction of an Identical Stranger, he asks to be allowed to bring Cosette to Fantine before she dies, which is refused, at which time he allows himself to be arrested. He then escapes, only to be quickly recaptured and confined to a ship, wherein he is believed to have drowned following his rescue of a sailor. It is only after this, that he goes to rescue Cosette. The musical simplifies this by having it that when Valjean's request to fetch Cosette is refused, he simply knocks Javert out and flees, which means that unlike in the novel, in the intervening years, Javert knows Valjean is alive, and is thus obsessed with capturing him. The musical also amps up Eponine's unrequited love for Marius and tends not to highlight everything else about her character, although the numbers "Castle on a Cloud" (where she has no lines, but is shown as a well dressed little girl) and "The Robbery" (where her older self is introduced as a rag-clad street urchin helping her parents steal to survive) do provide a contrast between her pampered childhood life and her poor teenage life.

However, Selyse's few comments about her are usually negative in tone (namely her despair at her only child being a deformed daughter) whereas Stannis' are more protective (though he appears more concerned with her noble rights and dignity than her as a person). The show exaggerates this, making Selyse an openly disdainful mother and Stannis, below his tough guy exterior, a clearly loving father.

In the games, Dante is playfully smug and very showy, but rarely does he cause collateral damage. In the anime, he seems to have a pathological "Need For Cool" that has to be satisfied regardless of what it costs him. For example, in the second episode, while chasing a demon, he demolishes a bridge along the way with his guns. The resulting repair costs cut severely from the fees he receives.

In the book his eyes, actions, and the content of his dialogue is what makes the character disconcerting, at times terrifying, as it directly contrasts with his boyish charm, manner and appearance. In the adaptation, however, Marc Warren emphasizes the character's way of speaking, in order to make his evil-ness just that bit more obvious, as well as losing the trademark "ever-present grin", which gave the original character a misplaced sense of childlike innocence. In a matter of fact, many people just think that the over-hamming of the character has meant the subtle, deep-seated sense of "there's something not quite right" seen in the book has been lost.

Character Exaggeration / int_a609791a	comment	Scooby-Doo: All three of the other members of Mystery Inc. tend to undergo this in revival medias, since the original series revolved the formula more around Scooby and Shaggy's comedy, the others were left with little to behold outside trying to solve the mystery normally, thus they had what few quirks they had originally amped up so as to allow stories to give them more key focus: Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Fred was always the one to build the traps for the Monster of the Week; this incarnation of Fred is literally obsessed with traps. He reads Traps Illustrated magazine, has said, "For trap's sake!" at least once, named his teddy bear Mr. Trapples, and can't think of anything beyond making new traps. In several other interpretations such as A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and What's New, Scooby-Doo? he is also more ditzy and oblivious; in the original series he was bumbling but only as much as the others in Mystery Inc. (if somewhat ineffective as a leader). In Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Velma is quiet compared to the others, but she still has a fair amount of dialogue, most often explaining things. In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, she's so quiet that on some occasions, when she does speak, one of her friends says, "Velma spoke!". Daphne is sometimes shown primping or shopping for clothes, and it's implied she's the richest of the gang. In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, she's nearly obsessed with clothes, and is so rich she lives in a mansion with a butler.

To parallel the change, his voice drastically went from suave and somewhat charming to high-pitched and prone to squealing sometime around the fourth season. Strangely, even that level of idiocy apparently wasn't enough, and the later Flanderization, which started in Season 6, made him even dumber.

This is downplayed a bit in the TV show, where he's more of an oaf than an outright idiot. Shadow also gets hit with this in the same video game - in the original, although he is The Stoic and somewhat of a gruff loner, he still maintains friendships with Rouge and Omega and is not adverse to working with Sonic and co. when it suits his own ends. In Sonic Boom, he is a petty thug who openly derides friendship to the point of believing Sonic to be a weakling because of his friends and outright attacking him over it.

He is also more ready to burn his brother's bastard son as a sacrifice to the Lord of Light in the series while being very conflicted in the books.

However, Selyse's few comments about her are usually negative in tone (namely her despair at her only child being a deformed daughter) whereas Stannis' are more protective (though he appears more concerned with her noble rights and dignity than her as a person). The show exaggerates this, making Selyse an openly disdainful mother and Stannis, below his tough guy exterior, a clearly loving father. Actually this becomes a major part of the show, often playing more straight Character Tropes that the book versions were deconstructions off. The vain, greedy and amoral Renly who was basically a Villain with Good Publicity is portrayed as a straight example of The Good King. This is ironic considering Stannis and Renly are respectively based on Richard III and George, duke of Clarence (see below). Similarly the Tyrells who convey a good image but are really Sleazy Politicians who were quite happy to starve hundreds of thousands of people into submission to help Renly usurp the Iron Throne are presented as much nicer characters who show more care towards people. For example, in the novels they immediately ostracize Sansa once she's engaged to Tyrion rather than consoling her. Other aspects of House Tyrell's collective character is also exaggerated from the source material as part of their Adaptation Expansion. The family's Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife aspects are played up on account of the two most competent Tyrell sons (Willas and Garlan) being Adapted Out, Loras' character arc stalling in Season 3 and 4, and Mace's fecklessness being exaggerated from a blustering but tenacious man into an ineffectual and sycophantic Momma's Boy. Margaery's sex appeal and cunning are also exaggerated. In the books, her power comes from her persona as a Princess Classic, not The Vamp, but on the show her Stripperific outfits and open ambitions make her more sympathetic to viewers as more liberal than the conservative Lannisters she contends with. Book Loras Tyrell shows no sign of attraction to anyone, male or female, other than Renly Baratheon. After Renly's death, he joins the celibate Kingsguard, and openly implies to Jaime that he has no interest in ever having another relationship. His show counterpart, by contrast, is stereotypically gay, and routinely flirts and sleeps with other men after Renly. Brienne of Tarth is a warrior woman in the books but is unsettled by killing. In the four books she has appeared in she only kills people in A Feast for Crows, and all four were monstrous war criminals who were trying to kill her. In the series Brienne is a much more violent character, remorselessly cutting down people even murdering the wounded Stannis Baratheon while deliberately speaking to him spitefully. The series also makes Brienne more bad-tempered, cynical and rude, rather then the rather naive but ultimately kind-hearted character in the books. In A Clash of Kings, the handful of warriors who capture Winterfell under Theon's command openly show their disagreement with what they see as Theon's bad ideas, and don't hide that they don't like him much. However, they always loyally follow him, even choosing to stay and fight to the death with him after he offers them the opportunity to flee. Their counterparts in Season 2 of the show, however, mock and ridicule Theon, blatantly ignore his orders, and betray him the first chance they get. In the same book, the initial mission given to Theon by his father (which Theon deviates from in order to capture Winterfell) as part of the Ironborn invasion of the North is still a pretty significant one - Theon merely feels marginalised from the operation because it is a less important mission than that given to his sister Asha. In the show, Theon really is given a pointless and irrelevant mission largely to get him out of the way. In the books, Oberyn Martell's bisexuality is an unconfirmed rumour, albeit a very likely one - there is no hard evidence of him showing romantic or sexual interest in men. In the show, Oberyn is completely open about being bisexual, and his interest in men is widely acknowledged. Tyrion Lannister gets a Sympathetic P.O.V. and has quite a few Pet the Dog moments but is still a rather sleazy hedonist who performs very morally questionable acts (such as having a singer murdered to cover up his affair). The series gives him a lot of Adaptational Heroism, playing up his nicer aspects such as care towards those who are looked down on in society, and make his actions less morally ambiguous, along with removing other unpleasant qualities such as his sexism and classism, Tyrion's use of whores being played more sympathetically and often in a more amusing sense. As a direct result it becomes much more frequent and casual, and is presented as something he does for fun instead of self-loathing necessity. An example is when in a Volantis brothel in the TV show a whore offers Tyrion free sex after he is nice to her, but he turns it down because he feels it isn't right. In the books Tyrion in the Volantis brothel has sex with a miserable, down-beaten whore, even though he knows she doesn't have any choice in the matter, and even thinks how horrible what he's doing is. Ramsay Bolton in the books is a sadistic thug who has a rightly earned reputation as a terrifying monster, but is rather inexperienced and incompetent in political and military matters. In the show, Ramsay is the main Northern antagonist, and so he becomes reasonably adept at political maneuvering and military command, which becomes rather implausible as the series continues with Ramsay despite being openly psychotic still commanding immense loyalty. In the books, Ramsay's father says that Ramsay doesn't really know how to wield a sword, but just randomly and viciously hacks about in combat. In the show, Ramsay can defeat a gang of armed Ironborn warriors while not even wearing a shirt. Edmure Tully's General Failure and Glory Hound tendencies are played up compared to the books, and few of his positive traits are even touched upon. Most notably, his victory at Stone Mill is turned into a Pyrrhic skirmish instead of part of defeating Tywin Lannister and Gregor Clegane in open battle. Littlefinger is a prime example regarding his love for Sansa. In the books, Sansa is more of a tool for his goal of acquiring power, and any love he might have for her is more of Loving a Shadow (Littlefinger loved Catelyn, so with her not an option, her daughter is the best choice to roll with). The show turns it into one of his primary motivations instead, turning him into a power seeker who is motivated by some element of love instead of a Wild Card like the books. Theon in the books is a character who is good at a long of things but his ego leads him to believe that he's great at them. His greatest delusions are not so much his abilities but actually be the justifications for his various evil acts, his culpability for them, and downplays how people around him would perceive his actions. In the show, he's got obvious delusions of grandeur even though the script treats him as a Butt-Monkey.

Character Exaggeration / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: The DiC cartoons were guilty of this, particularly SatAM: Sonic's Mascot with Attitude trait and arrogance were exaggerated to the point of parody, to the point other characters would complain about him acting too full of himself during serious moments. Similarly, his impulsiveness was taken up to eleven, making him into a Book Dumb Idiot Hero — particularly in the second season, where he had a penchant to screw up based on said trait on a regular basis. His Sonic Underground characterization was guilty of similar exaggerations, albeit to a considerably lesser extent. Tails' role as Sonic's more inexperienced, younger sidekick was exaggerated to the point of getting demoted to a Non-Action Guy and occasional Tag Along Kid. Toward the tail end of the series he joins the Freedom Fighters and becomes more useful, but never reaches his game counterpart's level of competency and fighting capabilities. He fared a bit better in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, where he would always accompany Sonic and aid him in any way he could, but would almost as often fall into the role of Distressed Dude. When Sonic 1 was localized, Dr. Eggman/Robotnik got turned into a more serious and threatening-looking villain in an example of American Kirby Is Hardcore. Then SatAM took it up to eleven, giving him an even more intimidating design, an edgier personality devoid of any affableness and whimsicality, and having him take over the world before the series began. On the other end of the spectrum, the second season and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog gave him plenty of Butt-Monkey moments and reimagined him with an even more comical personality that his game counterpart, some episodes making him outright incompetent. Sonic Boom: Dr. Eggman in most continuities is both Affably Evil and Laughably Evil, but still smart and vile enough to be a threat to the heroes. In this show, Eggman's friendly and silly aspects are played up such that he is an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain whose lack of common sense and his extra standards are often his own undoing, and his goal is changed from world-domination with a personal amusement park as the capital to the amusement park being his endgoal, something the cast points out wouldn't be all that bad (even if he insists that it is diabolical).

Character Exaggeration / int_b4996199	comment	Spider-Man: This trait is deliberately exploited by Spider-Man in the storyline Identity Crisis, when circumstances prompt him to take on multiple new costumed identities so that he can continue operating as a hero after being framed for murder and assault by Norman Osborn. Each new identity is based on aspects of his actual personality and skills, making it less likely for anyone to work out who these "new" costumed characters really are. Broadly speaking, the four identities are broken down as follows; the Hornet is based on Peter's intellectual genius and ability to make his own tech; Ricochet is based on Spider-Man's agility and speed as well as his Motor Mouth tendencies; Dusk is based on Peter's more menacing side and stealth skills; and Prodigy is based on his genuine heroism and desire to do good along with his super strength.

This single line is referenced in just about every novel or short story featuring him. By the time the Department of Temporal Investigations have their own series, the Department in general and Lucsly in particular are portrayed as having an obsessive bordering on irrational hatred of Kirk, regarding him as the worst temporal criminal ever and comparing him to Adolf Hitler. Several novels set between Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact featured Data still working out his emotion chip issues by having a sobbing breakdown, angry outburst or swearing a lot. This is based on his immediate reaction to having emotions as shown in Generations. First Contact showed that he actually got those emotions under control pretty quickly. In a few of the novels, Picard is known to break into French profanity when irritated, in particular saying "merde". In the TV series, his French pride was a feature of his character for part of the first season, but even then he never broke into French profanity. Except in "Elementary, Dear Data".

Character Exaggeration / int_cb6abea3	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! Seto Kaiba The 4Kids dub of the anime cranks up Kaiba's rivalry with Yugi and contempt for Jonouchi, making him closer to the manga version, where he was hateful of Jonouchi and obsessed with beating Yugi, among other things. They also made him deny the existence of magic and refuse to believe in it, while in the Japanese anime he didn't care about it. Manga!Kaiba went back and forth from outright denial to not caring. It also tended to make him even more of a Jerkass than he already was in the Japanese version. The dub also cranks up his disbelief in magic and other supernatural elements to the point of being a complete Agent Scully through the entire dub, as he dismisses any supernatural elements as hallucinations or holograms and thinks that the people who show him he's the modern reincarnation of Priest Seto are trying to brainwash him. He grows out of this in The Darkside of Dimensions dub, and is implied to have started believing several supernatural elements at the end of the anime dub since he refers to Atem as "Pharaoh" and thinks he's the true King of Games while he views Yugi as a fraud who took the credit for Atem's duel victories. His dragon obsession is largely an anime thing. In the manga, the only dragons he really uses are Blue-Eyes and its fusions, and the majority of his other cards are Warriors, Fiends, and Beast-Warriors, focusing on a beatdown deck. The anime filler arcs add more Dragons to his deck to the point that his other cards seem out of place. The Dark Side of Dimensions has his deck be almost completely Blue-Eyes based to the point that Saggi the Dark Clown is an outlier.

Even while living among the apes he displayed an interest in dressing well and a well-developed (though somewhat morbid) sense of humour, which blossomed fully when he came in contact with civilization. It is also established very early on that the only reason he speaks in Hulk Speak is that he has never actually spoken any of the languages he reads and writes. All consequent adaptations completely ignore these facets of the character, preferring to make him a stupid but good-hearted child of nature, to contrast with the evils of the civilized world.

In Aladdin: The Series he is reduced to a playful, silly, and just plain weird well-meaning buffoon who often does as much harm as he does good. This may have been sneakiness/laziness on the part of the writers — if the Genie is magical, smart and free to use his magic to solve problems and fight bad guys, then who needs Aladdin? Also, Genie is a living Deus ex Machina. If he were smart enough to use his powers to just defeat conflict by himself, what would the writers do with the other twenty-nine minutes of the episode?

In the first game, Lufia & The Fortress of Doom, the prologue of the game features you playing as your heroic ancestor, Maxim, and his comrades 100 years in the past. These heroes speak much more formally than the main characters. Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals was actually a prequel featuring the entirety of Maxim's adventures, eventually ending in the same manner as the first game's prologue. However, in this game the characters who all spoke formally in the flashback sequence speak in much more contemporary language (except Artea, who speaks formally regardless.) This leads to a somewhat bizarre occurrence in the final dungeon where the party enacts a conversation that was fairly ominous in the first game, but actually sounds somewhat silly in the breezier language of the prequel. Given that the events of the prequel are written as a heroic tale in the first game, it's possible that they were written much more seriously by the tale's author.

During the transition from the game to anime, many of the characters' traits were exaggerated heavily. In the game, Alicia would sometimes get frustrated at Welkin's personality quirks, but ultimately understood them. She is converted into the generic Tsundere love interest in the anime. Welkin is something of a Military Maverick with a few personality quirks, but was turned into a socially inept Genius Ditz. Faldio was turned from a Colonel Makepeace to a suave ladies man. Susie is characterized as a Reluctant Warrior who was conscripted despite being a pacifist, but she is still willing to fight to save lives (with a gameplay quirk that stops her from attacking sometimes). She passes out a few times during DLC missions, but not during battles themselves. In the anime, she is so afraid of violence and the prospect of fighting that she would literally just spontaneously pass out and regards Alica as a monster when her Valkyria power awakens.

Character Exaggeration / int_eb59224d	comment	LazyTown: Although Stephanie has always been a happy-go-lucky Cheerful Child, the earlier seasons tried to remedy this by giving her NaÃ¯ve Everygirl and Deadpan Snarker moments and showing that she could be just as flawed as everyone else. After the show was revived for its third season, Stephanie's perkiness was taken to the point where there's seldom a moment where she's not incredibly bubbly, and most of her flaws disappeared.

Character Exaggeration / int_ec28245c	comment	Dragon Ball Z has an example with Frieza's Bad Boss tendencies. He was a Bad Boss in the manga to be sure, but he wasn't prone to killing subordinates. In the anime, he kills his minions at the drop of a hat, reasons varying from "failing him", to "being no longer useful", to "speaking out of turn", to "just needing a target".

Character Exaggeration / int_ecd87b9c	comment	Turtles Forever: The 1987 turtles were undeniably goofy, due to the tone of the show (and cartoons in that era in general), but here they're all wisecracking goofballs with no sense of urgency who regularly break the fourth wall, are totally obsessed with pizza, and give inappropriate noogies. The Prime turtles also heavily exaggerate the grim and gritty tone of the Mirage comics. Both downplay the individual characterizations of each turtle, as well. Of course, three identical sets of turtles just wouldn't be the same, would it?

Character Exaggeration / int_eef5470a	comment	The different adaptations of Rurouni Kenshin go different ways on this compared to the original manga when it comes to the title character. Kenshin in the first anime series is more of a genuine doofus and prone to slapstick than in the manga, where this was largely an act that he was quick to drop when things got serious and showed more of Deadpan Snarker attitude. The Shin Kyoto-Hen OVA and live action series go the opposite direction and show him as significantly more ruthless and less emotional, ironically making him more like his previous self during the Revolution.

Character Exaggeration / int_eef69f10	comment	Sherlock Holmes: In addition to being Promoted to Love Interest in nearly every adaptation, Irene Adler is often portrayed as a Diabolical Mastermind and famous criminal as well. Her only appearance in the Arthur Conan Doyle canon may be awesome, but her only crime was owning a photograph that an ex-lover (who happened to be foreign royalty) felt could be used to blackmail him... which she ultimately never does. The 2009 movie is particularly guilty of this, in Scandal in Bohemia she was more of a Guile Antivillain, an adventress and an opera singer. In the movie she is more like Catwoman of the 1890's. Many adaptations of the source material have taken Dr. John Watson from simply being Holmes' chronicler who is not nearly as brilliant as his mentor but still an intelligent man and a respected physician, to a blithering idiot played up as the Plucky Comic Relief. The movies with Nigel Bruce are the poster example, although this seems to have ceased in the most recent adaptations. In "Elemetary" she is even takes training from Sherlock enabling her to solve some of the cases herself.

His somewhat split personality and division between the two equally troublesome sides of it (characterised as Slinker and Stinker by Samwise in the book) is exaggerated into the sweet but obsequious 'SmÃ©agol' and the abusive, addicted 'Gollum'. Denethor's deteriorating mental state and frosty relationship with his suriving son becomes full blown Large Ham frothing-at-the-mouth madness.

Character Exaggeration / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: Zoisite is an especially interesting example going through adaptations: Originally, in the manga he was just an attractive if somewhat effeminate-looking man. In the first anime, he is given more effeminate and catty traits and a romantic relationship with Kunzite. His DiC English dub counterpart exaggerates this further, along with making him into an actual woman. The same thing occurred to Fish Eye in the fourth season. Originally, he was not much different than his strangely dressed and short-lived counterparts. His run in the show was much longer, and was made a clingy, shallow (though ultimately good-hearted) gay crossdresser, and a woman in various dubs in other countries outside of Japan. In fact, it's one of the other members of the Amazon Trio, Hawk's Eye, who crossdresses in the manga. Fish Eye actually tries to seduce Ami! Usagi herself is rather exaggerated though adaptations. In the manga, she is basically a normal teenager and a surprisingly competent leader of normal intelligence. The anime version dialed up her laziness, her reluctance to fight AND her naivete slightly (for example, see her reluctance to kill anything that isn't a Monster of the Day versus her manga form who basically killed first and asked questions later). The 90's English dub takes this even further by making her a total ditz and a Butt-Monkey when it came to the other senshi. (They didn't tease her NEARLY as much in the Japanese anime.) As well as Usagi/Serena, Rei/Raye was exaggerated quite a bit from the manga to the anime to the dub. In the manga, she's the Ojou with a bit of a rivalry with Usagi. In the anime, they ramped up her issues with Usagi and made her seem downright mean at times, thought it was still obvious that she cared for Usagi. Dub Raye, on the other hand, loses much of Rei's softer corners and is pretty all-out nasty with very few exceptions. Haruka crossdressing. In the manga, she actually poses as a male high school student at the start of the Infinity arc, but doesn't seem particularly averse to wearing women's clothing when out of the disguise. In the anime, while she presumably still poses as a male while in the Infinity Academy, her gender is revealed in the same episode where she receives a proper introduction — but she keeps crossdressing throughout the series, even though her being female isn't treated as a secret. Apparently, in that version she likes it a lot. Furthermore, in the manga she even uses different pronouns depending on whether or not she is in disguise — ore and (of all things) atashi. In the anime, it's always the semi-masculine boku, even as Sailor Uranus.

Character Exaggeration / int_fcf34eec	comment	Sagara Sousuke has this happen to him in the manga Full Metal Panic! Overload. In the original light novels, he's shown being stern, a bit emotionless, rather socially inept, and taking certain extreme measures to protect Kaname. In this manga, he's made out to be a complete robotic sociopath that sees nothing wrong in mass-murdering people by misinterpreting Kaname's wishes. Many times, he's even shown blowing things up and causing damage to Kaname herself without so much as a blink of the eye - something his original self would never do. In fact, Kaname and Sousuke's roles are, in a way, reversed in this, where people will feel extremely sorry for her and wonder why she puts up with the insane physical abuse Sousuke deals out to her. Sure, it's all played out for laughs, but the Character Exaggeration is incredible. His psychopathy is extreme to the point where he's shown getting withdrawal symptoms when he doesn't use his gun for a day. Seriously, in that adaptation, he could give Gauron a run for his money in being Ax-Crazy.

Character Exaggeration / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Data meets Samuel Clemens in "Time's Arrow". His portrayal is about as stereotypical as it gets, including making up actor Jerry Hardin in a fright wig and having him mention his famous characters like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn almost every other phrase. For that matter, "Descent" has Data playing cards with Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking (the latter played by the man himself), and both Newton and Einstein are portrayed as stereotypes, with Einstein having the trademark wild hair and thick accent, and Newton referring to the apple being dropped on his head (which didn't actually happen in real life). Still, they were holodeck recreations, so maybe they were The Theme Park Version (given that Hawking was acting As Himself, we can assume some accuracy in his portrayal).
