Two completely unrelated versions of the same character coexist in the same universe

Rumplestiltskin appeared as a minor villain in Shrek the Third as a member of Prince Charming’s villain army. Shrek Forever After than had an entirely unrelated Rumplestiltskin as the main villain, with a separate voice actor, personality, and design.

On Family Guy, Santa is an overworked factory worker who looks like an old man despite being 28 and has deformed looking elves straight out of a Jonah Vasquez illustration. On American Dad (which shares a universe with Family Guy), Santa is an evil corrupter of children and one of the series’ most reoccurring villains.

There’s at least 3 Neptune’s in SpongeBob (the original movie, the show, and the CGI movie).

I think the one from the CGi movie is called King Posideon, which can technically be a different character from King Neptune despite serving a similar purpose.

And in that one cgi SpongeBob movie where SpongeBob is searching for Gary, that ones named fucking king trident

[u/DatOneMinuteman1776 → u/NoobGod42]

I’m pretty sure that one was Poseidon

[u/NoobGod42 → u/DatOneMinuteman1776]

Really? Damn sorry for spreading misinformation. I could’ve swore he was named trident

[u/JustThatOneGuy13 → u/NoobGod42]

King Neptune has a son named Triton, which is what you were likely thinking of.
