and then you have the venture bros, where the monarch starts off as goofy and ineffectual but becomes more menacing as the series goes on and the stakes get higher

They did fucking stellar work with the character growth. I normally hate the "you need to give it a couple seasons" kind of thing, but Venture Bros did so well to have a moment where you feel the tone start to change, and somehow, the goofier start ends up working in the shows favor.

I will never look at a Homies the same way again.
