People have said the pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. I want to specifically call out the first movie. It was a pure love letter to old pirate movies, and you get to see Jack sparrow actually be clever and serious, before he was flanderized into funny dirt jar man.
It’s basically the same thing that happened to Homer Simpson. The original did dumb things but never intended for things to fail or to be evil. Of course it is easier to write cheap gags if you throw all of that out of the window.

“Flanderize” refers directly to a Simpsons character (Ned Flander).
