Fan Casting Took a Level in Jerkass in Sort by Tropes

When a character grows into a Jerkass over time (sometimes not much of one at all). Can be due to Flanderization, a Face–Heel Turn, a traumatic incident, or just another regular albeit unfortunate case of Character Development, which depends on who's writing said character(s). While a Jerkass growing into a Jerk with a Heart of Gold is a common phenomenon, especially in dramas, a reversal, resulting in this trope, is also common, especially in comedies.
