Flanderization
- ... that oversimplifying a fictional character over the course of a show's run is called Flanderization, after Ned Flanders of The Simpsons? Source: Flanderization: How Ned Flanders Became Synonymous With Bad Writing
- Reviewed: Fires on the Plain (2014 film)
- Comment: Not 100% about this wording, but can't quite seem to punch it up. Open to suggestions.

I was delighted to see that this subject is up for DYK: I'm currently re-watching the show (I'm at season 6 right now), so this couldn't have come at a better time. The article checks out for newness, length, and is within policy (no copyvio, neutral, inline citations). QPQ is confirmed. The hook is in order with regards to characters, neutrality and 'being interesting'. It is also backed up with a source in the article. As far as the wording goes, I personally would make the minor change from 'oversimplifying' to 'the oversimplification of'. That's up to you, of course, and I'm happy to approve the hook in it's current form. Modussiccandi (talk) 20:39, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
