When a character suffers a catastrophic glow-down — not just a visual downgrade, but a full-on aesthetic and narrative collapse. Once majestic, cool, or powerful, they’re redesigned into a weird, goofy, or straight-up embarrassing version of themselves.
“They Neptuned him. Dude used to look like a legend.”
“This reboot is suffering from major King Neptune Effect.”
“Her redesign has big Neptune Energy… in the bad way.”
“From silver fox to gas station cryptid — that’s the King Neptune pipeline.”
Variations:
Neptuned (verb) – “They Neptuned my boy!”
Neptune Energy (noun) – “His current look is giving Neptune Energy, and not in a good way.”
King Neptune Syndrome (rare alt form) – “It’s a classic case of King Neptune Syndrome: dev god to gym teacher.”

Person 2: Bro! Stop being a King Gates! You're creeping me out!
Ex. Person 1(After invading the personal space of person 2 for many minutes without saying a word), then all the sudden blurts out sometimes that has no relevance to anything e.g. "I used to bang that chick on coke! We did butt chomping and it was wild!!!!!!"
Person 2:Huh? What does that have to do with anything? Go take out the garbage or something. You're being a King Gates!!!
