** The 90s-and-later incarnations of the franchise are generally more self-aware and willing to play with the series tropes, where the originals played it all straight.
* When Betty Boop first appeared in the early 30's, she was portrayed as a teenage (sometimes young-adult) flapper-girl with an outgoing personality and loads of [[Fetish Fuel|sexuality]]. After the [[Hays Code]] of the mid-30's however, Betty was aged up to her mid-twenties, wore long, conservative dresses and became more passive and less wild. However, as she experienced a re-birth in popularity after the 50s, she reverted back to her sexy, Jazz Baby persona in most portrayals and is remembered by these images and behaviours mostly today.
* Parodied in the episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' "The Crimson Chin meets Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad"- The Crimson Chin has wildly different Era-specific personalities, from [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|30s pulp-fiction Chin]], to [[Darker and Edgier|edgy]] [[The Dark Age of Comic Books|1985]] [[Darker and Edgier|Chin, who got cancelled for swearing.]]
* The ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise tends to do this with reoccurring ponies. Most of the characters in the current series ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', that were carried over from the earlier G3-series have personalities that are completely different from the ones they had in G3. This is because, while those ''Friendship is Magic''-characters do have the names and color-schemes of characters from G3, their personalities are actually based on characters from G1, the original ''My Little Pony'' version from the 1980's. A curious special case is the character of Applejack, a ''Friendship is Magic''- character who has the name and color scheme of a G1 pony, but whose personality is completely different from that Pony.
