Oh, I got a real fictional answer. Dominic Toretto. His crew started as simple thieves who stole DVD players. Dom had no problem with Brian getting iced by the Koreans to throw off the feds. He played all sides against themselves and showed real potential as the villain who got away. Stone cold sociopath who drives 2 nice cars.
Fast forward 20 years and he's a super spy who has reluctantly saved the world three times while driving variations of those same 2 nice cars.
He's become the anti-villain. Not a hero but someone who stops other villains. There's also no real person anymore. Dom is just a guy who drives and has a one word catchphrase that's so boring it's a joke now. There is no more depth or nuance to him. And since he contractually can't lose fights in his films there is no chance the other villains succeed.
Yup, after the first three films it's basically like watching a kid play with action figures.
I still enjoy them, because I'm freaky for fast cars, but that's about it. Fast X has been sitting on my HDD for years unwatched, lol.
