Fanderize 

Fanderization (or Fan-derization) is an act of fans flanderizing (exaggerating and suppressing certain traits) a character. Usually through memes and other fan-generated content.

Unlike actual flanderization, the official and canon form of the character remains unchanged, but the way fans perceive and understand the character is altered externally.

Also see "fanon vs. canon."

X character has been memed to death. They don't even act like that in the show. The fans just fanderized them into a spineless jokester.

Flanderization 

The process by which a single trait from a character is overstated and brandished to the point that it becomes the character's only trait. Flanderization is almost always for the worst and tends to draw viewers away from the the medium that the character represents.

Nick: I don't get it. Why is it that Brian Griffin was the voice of reason in earlier seasons of Family Guy, but now he is just a liberal douche?
Mark: Ever since the flanderization of the main characters back in season 4, the show really has taken a turn for the worst.

flanderization 

.just like Ned Flanders on the simpsons
every thing is
its gone wet
The act of taking a single (often minor) action or trait of a character within a work and exaggerating it more and more over time until it completely consumes the character. Most always, the trait/action becomes completely outlandish and it becomes their defining characteristic. Sitcoms and Sitcom characters are particularly susceptible to this, as are peripheral characters in shows with long runs.

The trope is named for one of the examples in The Simpsons, Ned Flanders, who was originally just a considerate neighbor and attentive father, with his devout nature simply being that he willingly attended and paid attention in church, all to make him a contrast to Homer, before becoming obsessively religious to the point of stupidity.

Note that the key to this trope is in how the process is a gradual thing, the character starts relatively normal then gains a few quirks, the quirks become more prominent and then gradually become the character. If it is simply about how the character is different early on before the writers know what to do with them, that is Characterization Marches On. Flanderization doesn't have to be a bad thing - sometimes it can be used to expand on a background character's personality when they are brought to the foreground, or make an otherwise bland character stand out more.

Big bang was a good series before its flanderization mid S3

Fodderize 

To take care of with great ease. A verb derived from the term fodder.

In the context of combat, it means to defeat enemies so easily that it makes them seem as if they were just fodder.

Player 1: Watch me fodderize these bosses with my maxed out character using this beefed up weapon!
