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

Only to rivals, though. His plots against Rusty stayed pretty slapstick and harmless. They even worked together in a late season.

beyond that, going from threatening bodily harm to financial ruin was definitely a glow-up in my opinion.
