Reverse Cerebus Syndrome	comment	So you're following this story. So far, it's a very dark and edgy, tight and gripping thriller. Three main characters have died, the fourth is having an abortion in order to prevent the evil conspiracy from using her child to bring forth the apocalypse in a Crapsack World. Nobody smiles, ever. Then you tune in next week, and find out that... the three dead guys have been resurrected thanks to the powers of a Magical Girl Bunny-Ears Lawyer who takes the form of a polka dot unicorn. The evil government conspiracy is actually a sham by The Man Behind the Curtain, a demonic dog from hell who speaks entirely in Pig Latin and just wants to impress chicks. The heroine's pregnancy was just a hallucination brought on by overcooked chocolate-chip cookies (and she's fine now). There's No Fourth Wall any more, and the characters have a degree of Medium Awareness. Everyone always smiles. This Tone Shift away from seriousness and more towards humor can happen for any number of reasons. Maybe audiences weren't jiving with the more serious take. Maybe there was some Executive Meddling involved. Maybe the writers were just bored. In some cases, the story started funny, became serious, but then returned to its roots. And if it runs long enough, it may go serious again. If done badly (or at all) it can piss audiences off- after all, True Art Is Angsty. If this way happened to the actors in Real Life, that's Leslie Nielsen Syndrome. Inverse of Cerebus Syndrome, can be combined to get Cerebus Rollercoaster. Compare Lighter and Softer. See also Denser and Wackier when a series gets less realistic and zanier as it goes on. An instance of Mood Whiplash.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_14eb91c0	comment	The first Shadow Hearts was a dark, almost entirely serious game inspired in large part by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. It has occasional comic interludes, but they're very rare, and overall the story is pretty Grimdark. The sequel, Covenant, dials up the comic relief considerably, and is generally a lot more over the top, but for the most part the explicitly comedic elements stay in the side quests. The main storyline focuses primarily on the protagonist's lost loved ones and impending death, and if anything is even gloomier than the first game's. In the third game of the series, From the New World, the story becomes mostly about comedy in the form of anthropomorphic cat mafiosi, Brazilian ninjas, vampiric obesity, and an intrepid boy reporter protagonist who inexplicably possesses a cell phone in 1929. There are still some serious moments, especially near the end, but they're barely more common than comedy was in the first game.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_18cf0718	comment	Blue SWAT is a particularly notable example. It starts out as a very grounded Alien Invasion story, with the heroes having to fight a Secret War against a league of alien bodyjackers covertly infiltrating human society. When its dark premise alienated children, it underwent a retool into a more traditional Henshin Hero show, with the episode plots becoming goofier and more fantastic and the villains, once a shadowy and threatening force, becoming a Standard Evil Organization Squad that gets increasingly incompetent as the series goes on.

Once Zackâ€™s schemes start kicking off, the tone and environment become considerably lighter. The Big Bad is essentially a bond villain with prosthetic fingers.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_1aa9d9f4	comment	The very first episode of the 1960s Batman (1966) TV series, "Hey Diddle Riddle", while comedic in tone, did make reference to the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents by "dastardly criminals" (an origin story almost exactly like the one from the comics, and one the producers of the show hesitated to so much as allude to), and it's clear from the dialogue that (again, just as in the comics), Wayne has become Batman in order to fulfill a promise he made to his parents for that very reason. Following this two-episode story arc, the show never brought up the murder again.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_1c1fb5a5	comment	The Child's Play series as well. While the concept of a serial killer in the body of a hybrid My Buddy/Teddy Ruxpin/Cabbage Patch Kid was never entirely serious, the earlier films were played much straighter than the later ones. In particular the fourth and fifth are definitely better classified as horror-comedies. With the sixth movie, Curse of Chucky, being made to bring back the more straight horror and the seventh film bringing back some of the comedy, it seems like the series is headed into Cerebus Rollercoaster territory.

The modern ones tend to keep the bloodiness but have become much sillier. How many horror stories have you heard of that start off with a Media Watchdog getting murdered by a media classification?

This was not new to season 5; the series radically shifted in focus several times, starting all the way back in season 1. The ending of season 5, however... not so much.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_252237eb	comment	Symphogear goes through this over the course of its first season. The anime begins with Miku grieving the death of her best friend and main character of the show. In a flashback, Hibiki goes to a concert, where a Noise attack occurs, which results in many gruesome deaths. Kanade sacrifices herself to save Hibiki, who then gains power by getting hit in the chest with a fragment of her Symphogear. In the present, Tsubasa hates Hibiki and blames her for her friend's death. Later we learn about Swan Songs â€“- ultimate techniques which end with attacker's death. In episode 4, Tsubasa uses it, starts bleeding heavily and collapses seemingly dead. After this point the show starts to go away from its initial darkness and becomes more standard and idealistic Superhero story. Tsubasa quickly reconciles with Hibiki. More magical girls join the squad, even those who were introduced as enemies. Characters go through multiple power-ups and Swan Songs no longer kill their users. Some characters still die, but the main cast doesn't bear this risk and villains often get redeemed before death. Needless to say, Hibiki wasn't actually dead.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: The Show Within a Show Police Cops is an In-Universe example for being changed from an action series to a comedy and, to Homer's dismay, changing his namesake character Homer Simpson from The Hero to the useless Plucky Comic Relief. Season 1 was somewhat dark and gloomy, at times it even barely kept its elements of comedy, and elements that eventually meant nothing in the show were taken very seriously then. Episodes ranged from Homer attempting to commit suicide at the thought of being a hopeless loser, Bart and Lisa barely escaping death at the hands of a criminal babysitter, and Moaning Lisa was just plain heartbreaking. Seasons 2 and 3 did step up the comedy, but only a bit. In fact, in the premiere for the second seasonnote "Bart Gets an 'F'" we even see the American bad boy Bart Simpson cry; and in the first episode of the thirdnote "Stark Raving Dad" we see mental health issues and loneliness being taken quite seriously. Homer was also incredibly grouchy, Marge was an extremely scornful wife and mother, Bart's deeds actually had consequences, and Lisa was always depressed. Beginning with season 4, the Simpsons rarely had any dark, depressing moments for around a decade, and anything shown to be a downer was usually either played for laughs or treated like no serious problem (except for some episodes such as "A Milhouse Divided" and "Alone Again, Natura-Diddly"). During Al Jean's (current) tenure, the seriousness was gradually amped up (although not to the extent of the first three seasons), the darkest episode of the later seasons probably being The Boys Of Bummer, which disappointed many by ending a very dark episode with an unintentional snorefest. Since then, serious themes have been used sparingly and often as sources of Black Comedy. The early Treehouse of Horror episodes were dark, murderous and were morbid at best and downright terrifying at worst (the one in which teachers are gradually eating through students is a perfect example). The modern ones tend to keep the bloodiness but have become much sillier. How many horror stories have you heard of that start off with a Media Watchdog getting murdered by a media classification?

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_2f3aa7ef	comment	The My Little Pony franchise as a whole. The original special - called Rescue at Midnight Castle - has little humor and is mostly comprised of as much action and Nightmare Fuel that they could insert into such a short story. Its villain, Tirac, is the undisputed king of Vile Villain, Saccharine Show. The next special, while still dark, is considerably more cute and lighthearted. My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) is mostly on-par with the second special but with still more humor. My Little Pony 'n Friends would have its dark moments, but continued to go even fluffier. By "Generation 3", the franchise would become purely lighthearted slice-of-life, before G4's Friendship is Magic returned to having more adventure-oriented plotlines mixed in with such episodes.

The third season is massively Lighter and Softer with less life-threatening danger, goofier villains, and even more humor. Justified as the Big Bad, the being behind most of the previous seasons darkness, is gone. Fittingly when the Big Bad is revived in the grand finale, this trope becomes subverted.

Even the breakout sequel still maintained multiple serious storylines and was closer to a dark comedy in terms of tone. Then the third game took the franchise into full-on Denser and Wackier territory with very little in terms of serious drama. The fourth game added superpowers and aliens.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_52dd4a4c	comment	Ultimate Marvel was an imprint that took a serious, dark, more grounded and down-to-earth approach to the Marvel mythos. The Ultimates (the local version of The Avengers) fought against Hulk during a destructive rampage very similar to the 9/11, and then against an alien invasion of the Chitauri, aliens that used to work with the Nazis. Peter Parker died fighting against the Green Goblin, and Miles Morales became the new Spider-Man. Reed Richards, who started as a hero with the Fantastic Four, becomes a villain who would establish his technocratic society by any means necessary, including the destruction of Berlin, the genocide of all the Asgardians, and the infinity gauntlets. Galactus comes from the prime reality, and almost destroyed the whole planet. But the imprint started to decrease in sales after almost a decade, and was closed during the Secret Wars (2015) crossover, where Doctor Doom saved the multiverse from destruction and remade it in his image. In Ultimate FF #5, one of the last issues of the Ultimate Marvel before the closure, all the serious tone is thrown out the window, and we have a visit from Miles Morhames, the Ultimate Spider-Ham (an antropomorphic pig with Morales' Spider suit), who comes from an alternate universe "similar" to the ultimate one. The thing is so bizarre, that it goes beyond description. Let's hear Morhames' own description of his home reality:

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_58808436	comment	Higurashi: When They Cry had most of its 4-to-8-episode-long arcs slowly turning from amusing Slice of Life to gory horror. An arc starting with a cute and hilarious card game will end with a boy killing two of his best friends. Then came the last arc of Kai was somewhat of the opposite, starting with a flashback showing a girl's parents dying before being sent to an Orphanage of Fear where she was abused and possibly raped, yet ending in what was practically a shonen-style action-adventure story with Non-Lethal Warfare and Everybody Lives ending. Even the main antagonist survives. Rei upped this with the funny variant, the first and the last episodes are sillier than any arc-beginning episode ever, and they don't even end in tragedy. The arc episodes though are quite dark, being about Rika dying and entering a "good" world where Keiichi never shot up a girl, Satoshi's parents never died, etc. It climaxes with Rika killing her mother in order to get back to hers and an ambiguity on whether it was All Just a Dream or not. Kira is just straight-up ecchi comedy. Averted in the Kaku movie. It's Higurashi meets a Zombie Apocalypse.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_5999b1ec	comment	The Xanth series by Piers Anthony began as relatively straightforward adult fantasy novels set in a virtual Death World, with many common fantasy elements like centaurs and dragons, characters undertaking serious quests with significant, sometimes world-altering consequences, and a few pun-derived creatures and objects thrown in occasionally to lighten the mood. As the series progressed a Hurricane of Puns took over the narrative, the characters' quests became progressively lighter and sillier, and most of the obstacles they faced devolved from genuine threats to amusingly inconvenient nuisances. Anthony eventually gave up even the pretense that a major character's life would ever be seriously threatened, to the point of lampshading it with Okra Ogress, whose entire quest is literally to become a main character because she knows that main characters are guaranteed to live happily ever after.

The tone shift was especially problematic in light of the dark note Season 3 ended on, producing an uncomfortable dynamic where Emily trades playful banter with the woman who smothered her fiance to death just episodes ago.

This game is dark and deadly serious, as is fitting for a Survival Horror RPG, and makes Shadow Hearts look like a laugh riot high adventure in comparison.

Many of the NPCs in this game are refugees who escaped the destruction of their worlds, like Gepetto from Pinocchio hiding out in Monstro or Beast from Beauty and the Beast traveling across the remaining worlds to look for Belle. In spite of it all, however, Sora is able to restore the multiverse to before this destruction took place, and all subsequent games in the series involving Sora are more about him stopping the bad guys from carrying out their plans than the first game's protection of what little is left.

The first two issues were - in all honesty - straight-up fantasy adventures that happened to star a Funny Animal and had some comic relief thrown in here and there. Issue 3 was where the series started to overtly parody the Heroic Fantasy genre rather than imitate it. Later on, after years of progressively-darker and more-serious plot developments, Dave Sim gave readers Guys, Rick's Story and Going Home: three very comedic and light-hearted (although definitely not kid-friendly) story arcs.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_81f5d35d	comment	The Kamen Rider franchise, from 2000 on. First, we start with it Darker and Edgier than its pre-revival self; Anyone Can Die, the manner of deaths can be Nightmare Fuel, sometimes monsters are people too and some must die anyway, sometimes Humans Are Bastards, and "good guys" can sometimes do things that are downright unheroic - though rare, it can even extend to the main Rider (see Kabuto.) As of the so-called "Neo Heisei Era" (2010 onwards), it's easing off - not to the point of no longer being dramatic, but on the Batman continuum, maybe it's gone from The Dark Knight to Batman: The Animated Series. Fewer heroes with an F in good, better chance of being able to save the guy who didn't want to turn into the Monster of the Week, better chance of being able to save the first poor shmuck the bad monster takes a shot at, and the Dangerous Forbidden Technique isn't actually guaranteed to kill you, and more Large Ham characters. It mostly starts with the new decade, but even then, compare Kamen Rider 555 to Kamen Rider Kiva. Similar in construction, same showrunner, monsters kill civilians left and right, monsters are all transformed humans... but 555 ends with one general still plotting and the Big Bad not completely defeated, half the cast dead, and main hero Takumi hasn't long to live. Kiva ends with a new peace between humans and Fangires, the resurrected original Big Bad defeated, the new one redeemed, a wedding, and a new adventure with the main hero's Kid from the Future about to begin.Also, each series in the Neo Heisei era has a common trend with a member of the main cast dying in the penultimate or final episode; of the four, two come Back from the Dead (Double's Philip and Fourze's Kengo), while the other two stay dead but it's still treated positively (OOO's Ankh dies happy knowing that he had real friends, his spirit continues to watch over Eiji, and The Movie suggests that he will eventually be revived, while Wizard's Koyomi was Dead to Begin With and the show ends with her spirit being put to rest).\\ And then along comes Kamen Rider Gaim, which could be seen as a Neo-Heisei era hero starring in an early Heisei era series replete with character death and moral ambiguity; this should come as no surprise, seeing as the showrunner and head writer was Gen Urobuchi. However, even with all that, the series still manages a fairly happy ending: the hero and his love interest Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence and leave the planet (taking the Alien Kudzu with them), the rival dies but finally finds peace, and the sidekick who had undergone a massive Faceâ€“Heel Turn finds acceptance and redemption.

Things start getting a little more farcical once the killer makes a Deal with the Devil to be turned into electricity so that he can Body Surf around the town. He then starts popping out of inanimate objects; like an armchair. Once the hero and the villain both get Trapped in TV Land and interrupt a bunch of live TV shows with their fighting, one has completely forgotten that it's a 'HORROR' movie. The hero even gets the bad guy to do some amusing tricks using a remote control just to emphasize how silly the film has become.

However, both films received mixed to negative reactions from critics and audiences, with some even drawing unfavorable comparisons to The Dark Age of Comic Books. Warner Bros. responded to the feedback by course-correcting to make subsequently movies lighter and whimsical. Wonder Woman (2017) has a more optimistic outlook, with director Patty Jenkins drawing inspiration from Superman: The Movie. James Wan's Aquaman (2018) and David F. Sandberg's SHAZAM! (2019) embrace the whimsical and fantastical mythos of the source material by having the characters keep their classic costumes and their goofy powers. Subsequently, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and SHAZAM! were more positively received by critics and audiences compared to Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman.

He had already toned him down from the raunchier, more manic version depicted in the manga while working on Lupin III: Part 1 series with Takahata, and made him even Lighter and Softer here. As a result, it flopped in Japan when it was first releasedâ€”the people who liked Lupin III for what it was were turned off, and the people who didn't like Lupin III didn't have any reason to watch the movie. It was only in later years, when Miyazaki gained recognition for his original works and more people watched the movie without any prior Lupin III experience, that it belatedly gained a reputation as a classic.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_9fa7d06a	comment	While always humorous, earlier episodes of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei really presented the whole cast as deeply depressed and unhinged people, whereas later episodes rely on more self-referential and pop culture humor and the cast is generally better adjusted. For example, although it was always implied he never really wanted to kill himself, Nozomu's suicide attempts largely stop later on in the series. On the other hand, Chiri becomes increasingly murderous as the series progresses.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_9ff4a8d9	comment	The Godzilla franchise started off depicting the horrors of a nuclear holocaust. The first movie was very dark and, even by today's standards, frightening. The series gradually shifted from allegorical horror to a children's movie series best known for goofy rubber suits and ridiculous plots. The titular monster, originally a metaphor for the atomic bomb, turned into a proud national icon and the source for cartoons, toys, video games, etc. It wasn't until 1984's The Return of Godzilla (and, to a lesser degree, the previous two movies, which preceded it by ten years) that the series took a partial turn back to its serious roots, and it's been wavering back and forth between both extremes ever since. However, the first film remains the darkest, most haunting film in the franchise's history.

Instead of continuing Zero's attempted hostile takeover of Japan after a genocide, the Reset Button is pressed via Time Skip and the show once again goes back to the wacky hijinks of the Absurdly Powerful Student Council. The English dub even hangs a lampshade on it. Then the clown shooing begins. Fans can only guess at what season 2 would've been like if the first several episodes hadn't essentially rehashed season 1, but it's been implied that C.C.'s real name (which was implied to be significant somehow, if only because they went out of their way to hide in in season 1) and the source of Suzaku's Charles Atlas Super Power would've been among the things revealed.

Then the third and fourth films upped the gore, nixed character development and became Bloody Hilarious.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_a609791a	comment	The series of direct-to-video Scooby-Doo movies that started in the late 1990s follow this trend. The first two, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and The Witch's Ghost, gained recognition for being Darker and Edgier than the previous television shows, and feature genuinely threatening antagonists with real supernatural qualities who are trying to kill Mystery Inc. The next two, The Alien Invaders and Cyber Chase, still feature the gang in more danger than usual, but are a bit lighter in tone. Legend of the Vampire would then deliberately invoke the tone of the original 1969 series, and most of the movies that followed since have leaned heavily on goofy comedy and sometimes outlandish situations (especially the various crossovers), with the films becoming increasingly tongue-in-cheek and self-aware with each new installment as well.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy Final Fantasy V has a much more lighthearted tone compared to its predecessor, Final Fantasy IV. Even though considerably more characters die for real in V than in IV. Final Fantasy IX. After the more downbeat tones of VI, VII and VIII, IX brought back some much-needed humor. It's still has its dark moments (its main theme is mortality, after all), but it's significantly cuter and sillier than the previous installments. Final Fantasy X-2 has a goofy, deliberately cheesy veneer masking a reasonably serious plot, whereas Final Fantasy X was darker and grimmer most of the time. It's justified in that most of the things that made X so dark were dealt with in that game. Similarly, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is significantly lighter and happier-feeling than its preceding game, Final Fantasy XII, but in a weird way. Final Fantasy XII has a somewhat grounded tone, having a far-reaching plot involving politics, the issues of general masses, and freedom and subservience that sometimes you kind of get the feeling of being small and weak among the myriad of problems presented there. Meanwhile, Revenant Wings is a straight-up fantasy that explores the main characters' personal issues, akin to some other games in the series, so the issue is confined within them. Plus, Revenant Wings only focuses on the safety of the aegyls (though they're decidedly a subset of humans), yet the original game focuses on of every races, especially humans. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance did a complete shift in tone in comparison to Final Fantasy Tactics. While the first game was extremely dark, the next game was much more light hearted and had a much more vibrant color scheme, though it still retained a few dark themes. People hated how childish the game looked and how the story was directed, so Final Fantasy Tactics A2 attempted to mix light and dark themes together and it was met with warm praise.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_bfb483af	comment	While Splatoon in general leans more towards the goofy side of things in general, the final battles of the story modes are generally more serious and high-stakes... However, with the original game and Splatoon 2's Hero Mode final battles, the latter of which involves one of the most heartbreaking moments of the entire series involving Marie trying to reach out to her Brainwashed and Crazy cousin Callie, you can replay them. Rather than a repeat of the original scenes and dialogue, the whole thing turns into a comedy instead, as in the first game Callie and Marie express exasperation that their grandpa got kidnapped and they have to do this whole thing all over again, and in the second game Callie puts the hypnoshades that brainwashed her back on because they look good on her, much to Marie's exasperation. And in both affairs, only DJ Octavio himself actually takes the fight seriously at all. This is averted for the final battles in the Octo Expansion and Splatoon 3 Hero Mode, however, as replaying them is explicitly framed as the player character recalling what happened.

When the game was launched, the art style stuck to a strict "Eagleland during The '60s" theme, and each character was boiled down to a series of instantly-recognizable traits, in terms of both design and game balance. Compare that to today, with over 300 increasingly-wacky unlockable hats and weapons inching further into Rummage Sale Reject territory. A Scout armed with a fish fighting a Heavy wearing a Dodgy Toupee was unthinkable in 2007, but is rather commonplace today.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Third Doctor era began with a season where stories featured moral ambiguity, bittersweet and downer endings and real tension between the cast about the military way of UNIT and the Doctor's pacifist nature. Starting from the next season these elements were gradually removed. The Fourth Doctor's tenure underwent this shift as well. After a debut season that included such unsettling serials as "Genesis of the Daleks", seasons 13-14 had many violent horror-inspired storylines ("Pyramids of Mars", "The Seeds of Doom", "The Brain of Morbius"), to say nothing of the truly dark "The Deadly Assassin". Complaints from Moral Guardians poured in. When new producer Graham Williams took over for Season 15, the show quickly started to lighten up with the addition of Robot Buddy K-9 and the Doctor's humorous side had more airtime; in general, stories in this period were less gruesome and violent if not verging on comic ("City of Death" being the epitome of this). This was even lampshaded on a sort of symbolic level in "Horror of Fang Rock" (the first Graham Williams story) - the setting and plot superficially resembles that of the moody Gothic Horror, but the monster is identified as something deliberately weaker and more harmless than the Eldritch Abomination or Leaking Can of Evil monsters preferred by the previous regime, and everyone involved in the gothic world dies, leaving the Doctor and Leela to make some jokes and head back to the TARDIS. When John Nathan-Turner came on board as the producer for Season 18, he dialed back the humor and had K-9 written out of the show; the season ended with the Fourth Doctor's regeneration in the very serious "Logopolis". The contrast between the Sixth Doctor and the Seventh's Doctor's tenure is also thought of as this. The Fifth and Sixth Doctors had increasingly dark and convoluted stories involving parallel universes, and the Sixth Doctor in particular was batshit insane and more violent than most preceding doctors (perhaps except for some of the early stories with the First Doctor). Executive Meddling caused him to be abruptly replaced with the Seventh Doctor, who had much fluffier stories such as "The Happiness Patrol", which, while being a satire on Margaret Thatcher's Britain, is mostly remembered for having an evil version of Bertie Basset killing people with fondant. Despite this, the Seventh Doctor was also a Magnificent Bastard that would use complex plans to achieve victory, sometimes having his victory plotted out from the start, even causing serious emotional suffering to his companion Ace, a girl with a love for explosives. These traits would carry over to the various revival incarnations particularly when they were definitely on the line between hero and villain that happens to like humanity. Ace herself was also abnormally dark for a companion, being more than willing to get into combat, even attacking Daleks.

The first few episodes depict the earth almost being fully conquered by the Machine Empire Baranoia, with humanity struggling to even maintain a fighting chance. However, because of several real life events, including a terrorist attack by the Aum Shinrikyo cult, this series had to be severely toned down. As of the eighth episode, the series adopted a much more comedic tone, with the villains using silly Monster of the Week schemes, rather than employing the merciless all-out attack they maintained in the first seven episodes. A prime example of this is a monster turning clothes worn by people into battle armor, allowing it to mind-control said people. Avoiding this monster's power required one of the female rangers to fight the monster wearing only a bikini.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_f10a65b	comment	Legends of Tomorrow was a dramatic show with some comedic beats in season 1, taking its two main arcs featuring captain Rip Hunter, Big Bad Vandal Savage, and heroes Hawkman and Hawkgirl serious as a heart attack. However, the drama was falling flat with both audiences and crew, so for Season 2, the show was retooled into putting the emphasis on zany time-travel hijinks (the element that most considered worked the best), jettisoning the Hawks and Savage and reducing Hunter to a supporting character (and eventually removing the character as well), and sanding down the darker edges of White Canary and Heat Wave into lighter, unquestioned heroes. The show became a cult favorite with each subsequent season, landing on several critics' top-10-television lists praising its humor, creativity, and appealing cast. What was once a dramatic show with hints of comedy had successfully turned into a Guardians of the Galaxy-style adventure comedy with the occasional dramatic beat.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_f11c7ff2	comment	This happened to the classic Universal Horror: Dracula, Frankenstein and The Wolf Man started out in genuinely frightening movies, and their monsters wound up being outwitted by Abbott and Costello.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed zig-zags from dramatic to whimsical and back seemingly on a whim. Season 1 has many horror elements to it, with demons such as werewolves, mirror ghosts and hell fiends. Cue the start of season 2, and we have cupids, girls turning animals into men for dates, and a bland love triangle as the main arc. This was fixed in season 3, but then season 6 went down this route again, adding a surplus of fairies, leprechauns, wood nymphs, and a magical "Mr. Right." Season 7 went back in the other direction again.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_f599a110	comment	The trilogy started with Basket Case, much like the Evil Dead one, became increasingly comedic. The first film was a low-budget but still sleazy and disturbing horror film, the second one was more of a horror with many black comedy elements, and the final one became outright wacky and zany, with almost nothing that could be construed as scary.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome / int_fb8549c	comment	Deadpool; started as a typical Rob Liefeld 'creation inspired by' Deathstroke, but had a tendency to snark (something added by Fabien Nicieza, Liefeld never intended such). Joe Kelly then made him insane, but also did many other things making this arguably more a case of character development or focusing.
