Game of Thrones having such a terrible ending was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me. My actual name is Winter, and I was in college in a very nerdy field when GoT was popular, so every time I entered a room, everyone would always say "brace yourselves, Winter is coming!" which got real old real fast. A guy even tried to use that as a pick up line on me once. Then season 8 happened and I haven't heard a single reference to it ever since. My quality of life has increased significantly.
I salute your fortitude, my name is Alejandro and I can’t tell you the times people has sang me fucking Lady gaga thinking they are funny and original 😅
The fact that D&D also lost their Star Wars project is just hilarious. They really tarnished their reputation for something that never ended up happening lmao
It was because of their Star Wars deal that Dumb & Dumber chose to end Game of Thrones with season #8 and rushed the last season so they could get to work on Star Wars ASAP and it totally came back to haunt them big-time because season #8 was so awful that Disney soon after ripped apart the contract with Dumb & Dumber and those two idiots deserved it.
My wife died of cancer in August 2019. Game of thrones was the last series we were watching that we finished before she was too sick to be at home anymore. We really enjoyed watching shows together, and that used to be one of our fsvorites. It still infuriates me that they ruined that for us.
People always say “well it subverted your expectations” like that’s automatically a good thing. If I ordered spaghetti and got served shit on a plate I wouldn’t congratulate the chef for subverting my expectations
Well you'd be surprised how many people I've come into contact with that would love shit on a plate, thus praising the chef for subverting expectations.
i think i saw this analogy from alex on the angry joe show, but i totally agree. idc about subverting expectations if you make what we’re expecting not worth it.
Imma be honest the ending was cool since we knew it couldn't be Robin but then finding out that he told all the story to justify wanting to be with Robin for all the time they spent together
@@ARASH_SAMIEI all I got from the stories that Robin and Ted were horribly incompatible. Also, Ted wants the dream family with a wife and kids while Robin can’t, and doesn’t want kids, so Ted gets what he wants and then when the kids are grown up just runs back to Robin to live her dream life. So if his wife survived would’ve he have just divorced her to get back with Robin?
Game of Thrones no doubt. It destroyed the momentum of a pop culture juggernaut. I poured years of my life into the show and the books, and the final episodes was a spit in the face to me and thousands of others equally as invested.
GoT is an incredible phenomenon to examine. For six, seven years it held pop culture in a chokehold. Dudebros talked about GoT. Soccer moms talked about GoT. Literally everyone was watching that show. It was the most viewed, the most pirated, the most everything. And after that ending, it completely vanished. Nobody even talks about it. It's insane.
Granted people don't talk about it as much, but it's still top of the list in regards to what shows are still streamed. Lots of people do still watch it.
@@RyuKenChaos a prequel and a sequel 😂😂guess what though? Me and my wife are watching both the first night they come out🤷♂️even though they’ll probably be bad but I love dexter
You forgot the best part about the ending of How I Met Your Mother. Before the final episode came out, someone on Reddit posted a comment with their theory on how the show would end, coming uncannily close to what the actual ending was. At the time, though, the comment was massively downvoted, with most people replying that would be a terrible ending or that the writers would never be so stupid as to give such an unsatysfying ending 💀
I remember someone on 4chan leaking the plot of the last few episodes of GoT. I caught on maybe with 3 episodes left or something. I remember seeing that they got the 3rd and 2nd episodes exactly right but I thought certain aspects of the last episode were so absurd I still could not believe it was going to pan out that way. Literally I thought the anon did have the correct knowledge but they were using that knowledge as a means to troll people about the ending and appear credible. Once the camera started panning to the new King of Westeros I finally was thinking “oh no… anon was telling the truth.”
@@zegobot9674 idk. Game of thrones still managed to shit out some absolute bangers for characters. Everything great about it was just as warranted as everything shitty about it. Nothing is as black and white as you like to put it.
I actually disagree with this. While season 8 is not good compared to the rest of the show, on rewatch it actually makes it more palatable. Week to week is was rough, but on a binge it's actually much better.
The Game of Thrones ending is uniquely terrible in that it retcons the quality of the whole show. Everyone running around saying "winter is coming" and the tension of the big looming threat of the whitewalkers totally falls flat when you know it just ends up being a single episode scuffle that kills like one secondary character.
Yeah now the new show is talking about the threat coming, they need to be on the throne when it comes is kinda laughable too thinking how they will beat them in one episode and move on from white walkers
@@JJ-dh5vq I usually go back and re-watch my favorite shows from the start. But I have no interest with GOT. Some complained about the end of The Sopranos, but I re-watched that during lockdown. Great show. I just assume that Tony got murdered at the end.
@@tapa5602 Just think that it never happened. Like the Star Wars sequels. George RR Martin will finish it properly, or he’ll die and it will never be finished. That’s how it is in my mind, or I can’t handle it.
although a lot of people blame Weiss and Benioff for the ending, people forget that is also George RR Martin's fault too. The guy never finished the last book, since 2011 he said he was about to finish it and now 2022 he still hasn't finished it. Everyone in the show, Benioff, Weiss, George Martin decided to make the show without knowing how to end it in first place...
Darling in the Franxx stands out as the anime that shit the bed the hardest in recent memory. It's like they were actively trying to make people hate their show
to anyone who enjoyed even a fraction of darling in the franxx but thought it was handled poorly just watch neon genesis evangelion. it's the original show that inspired darling and it's 10000000x better.
How I met your Mother's ending's problem is not the mom or the fact that she's dead. The mom was perfectly cast and introduced and they had gut punching foreshadowings that she's actually dead in the future. The problem is everything else. They gave these two deeply flawed characters a good romance story only for them to break up and go back to their bad habits in the second to the last episode just because the original script for the ending didn't include that. They built 9 seasons of hype for the mother to appear and when she shows up it was perfect but on the last episode it's revealed that the main character is only telling the story about their mother to the kids because he wants permission to bang another woman. Truly a horrible horrible ending.
Agreed. I think the ending would have been fine if the mother had still died but no they had to push this love story between Ted and Robin. That was a dead romance long ago and I have no idea what idiot decided to bring it back. And the disappointment of building up this relationship between Robin and Barney and them becoming better people for and with each other is ridiculous that it ended and so quickly for the audience. They literally spend a whole season on them and building up how they got married only to rip that away minutes into the final episode. And the entire reason he's telling his kids the story of how he meet there mom was just to ask to bang Robin again. Epically disappointing. Ruins the whole show.
@@Ktakahashi18 They probably had the idea that Robin and Ted ended up together when they first started the show, and the series was supposed to be about their ups and downs and whatnot. Unfortunately, they ended up writing things going in a different direction as the seasons continued, but didn't want to scrap their original concept of Robin = Mother, so they just tacked it on in the end. Kind of like how JK Rowling claims she wrote that horrendous epilogue chapter before writing most of the other books. Not to start any ship wars here, but Harry x Ginny never had any chemistry in the books or movies.
I think a lot of it was that the story was never about the mother, it was about the characters in the show growing and changing and just having funny random side missions. The whole point of the show was comedy and I think that ending was pretty comedic but also I was simultaneously very disappointed.
how is that a horrible thing to do? he’s allowed to still want to seek love even if he has kids, you guys are looking at this through how happy was this show instead of how realistic and the whole journey of it. part of journey is the ending but it’s only part of it. the journey is the main thing.
"At least since the ending of Game of Thrones sucked, we can go back to saying that Breaking Bad was the best show on television." - some tweet I saw about 4 years ago that has stuck with me.
game of thrones would be infinitely better if the night king won. like, if any show had the capacity to pull off a full-blown downer ending it's game of thrones. the last season turning into a full on horror movie as the last of the heroes are picked off one by one. daenerys being the last survivor and being slowly and painfully eaten alive by wight-viserion, her own dragon child turned undead monster. the final shot being the night king sitting upon the iron throne, staring chillingly into the camera as the scene cuts to black, showing how all their struggles for power, their petty arguments over a chair, was meaningless in the face of an overwhelming force of nature that was beyond them all and who they refused to unite against.
GoT was pretty important to me before they ruined it. The first season on the show was the last time I was genuinely happy, I was in a small hotel room in Stockholm with a dear friend snuggling watching the show on a shitty laptop. I even thought "I wish this moment could last forever." as I had been (and still was) depressed. After that I have yet to experience happiness again and I will probably end my days without feeling it. Since then I've isolated myself, lost all friends, developed and diagnosed schizophrenia, majority depressed, addiction. That show meant so much to me, after they slaughtered the last seasons I haven't watch anything. I've just lost interest in TV, and everything else too really. So yeah, not a fan.
About "How I Met Your Mother", they made it blatantly clear in the very first episode that Robin was not the mother even though Ted spent the whole episode talking about how he met Robin. The story writers and producer had already decided the ending that was for Robin to end up with Ted, so they filmed the ending with Ted's kids saying "You gotta go after aunt Robin" but after Robin and Barney got together they hit it off and the producers changed their minds but rushed the last 2 episodes (if not, 2 whole seasons) in order to get to the end quicker. In last 2 episodes the relationships that they built on over the span of past 2 seasons suddenly come to an end, series of events occur out of nowhere, characters act like they haven't learned their lessons inspite of going through the character development only to end up where they previously were in the beginning of the show thus, overthrowing the show as a whole
If they didnt buildup B&R so much during that season it might have been fine but both Robin and Ted's arcs in the last season went off the fucking rails at the very end like what??? I would have 100% understood Ted ENDING up with Robin but not like this
I’ve been rewatching bits of HIMYM and was thinking about how terrible the ending is, so this video and coming out and being able to talk about it is great. It’s nuts that ted spent years looking for “the one” and found her then tells his kids the heartwarming story of how he met his true love and all his kids get from it is that he wanted to be with robin the entire time and they were also ok with it and he literally finished telling the story and goes to meet robin. It fails on every level
what’s hilarious to me is right before season 8 aired, there were interviews of a lot of the cast making awkward faces or quietly ignoring the interviewer when asked if they liked the ending. it’s a goldmine watching back cuz….they knew
Yo fam I’m a upcoming content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range Of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoyy 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾‼
It's still baffling to me how they built up the Ice King to be this unstoppable behemoth with a massive army that has the ability to take down the Nights Watch Wall on top of controlling dragons, only to be killed by a little girl with a tiny knife in a single episode.
Not just that, she leapt a horizontal 50ft over a group of super ice warriors with super hearing.. in order to get there, against a dude who can see everything that was, is and will be. Straight kicked me in the balls with that bs.
None of that really bothered me, because I learned from playing chess that you can absolutely kill the king with a pawn if you play well. What bothered me was she made the massive jump and YELLED while she did so. Its a surprise attack, emphasis on the surprise, why tf would you yell???
I had absolutely no problem with that part. I felt like Arya had been built up to be badass enough to pull that off, everything, literally everything that happened after that point was such hot garbage though
I vividly remember watching 8x03. I was in college, had just come back from a night out drinking, and was ready to watch one of the most hyped episodes of one of my favorite shows in a great mood. I had to watch on my phone cause I had no tv at the time and left my laptop at a friends. The episode was cool but I kept feeling this creeping anxiety ramp up each time something nonsensical happened, which by the end of the episode may as well have been countless times. I remember that by the end of the episode when they have the scene of the Night King approaching Bran, I had such a bad headache from having to squint my eyes to see wtf was happening that I didn’t even notice the quality of the direction during that scene (minus the nonsensical moments) or the brilliant musical score. This was with my phone at max brightness in a pitch dark room. Then Arya pulled her little shiv hand switcheroo and brain kinda just short circuited at what I had just witnessed.
The sad thing about HIMYM is that the fans were cool with the new character for the mom, and most of us were cool with her being dead and Ted being a single dad, but it was when he goes back to Robin that it just feels like a slap in the face.
For me, it was Barny. They developed him so much throughout the show with the burning of the playbook and the whole season dedicated him to getting married, and then they throw all of that juicy character development out the window and revert him back to the same sleezy asshole that he was on day 1. I felt that was a bigger slap in the face than Robin or Tracy's death since he was my favorite character on the show.
Ahhh after seeing it ten times it honestly makes me smile now. especially after the credits role and they show pictures of the cast in season one and you see how much they've all changed and how young they all were in the first season. It might not be the ending we wanted but at least it's a somewhat happy one.
It also annoyed me so much that they spent the entire funking last season building up to the wedding and finding "the mom" and then in the last episode Barney and Robin split up and several years pass... COULD YOU NOT HAVE SHOWNED THOSE YEARS IN THE LAST SEASON?
Jaime * and yeah I’ll forever hate the ending of GoT for them having him go back to his vile sister. When he is pretty much in love with Brienne in the books 😭
Honestly, if they weren't going to do anything with him, they should've let Dany kill him on the battlefield. It would set the stage for her turning evil, as we see a beloved character die by her hand, but the situation itself would be completely understandable from her perspective. And then we don't have weird scenes like her showing mercy to the man who killed her father to conflict with her turn.
@@1hourgamereviews an even simpler ending would have him die protecting Bran. At least that provides some kind of arc. Goes from trying to kill him to protecting him.
"By what right does the Wolf judge the Lion!?" Apparently by the right that Ned Stark did, in fact, care about the people of King's Landing. God Jaime got done so fucking dirty in S8.
I was hoping I’d see someone mention it. Both started out so strong, then the final season (actually multiple seasons imo) and the ending for that last season, utter garbage
the 2nd arc ending isnt awful, people overlook that youre supposed to finally see dexter as the monster he is and they do this by cinematography. its the first time they show dexter on screen doing his butcher work and encourages his son to watch
I got into Game of Thrones a year after it ended and I went into it knowing all the spoilers and I enjoyed most of the show all but the last two seasons. I finally understand what the fans feel, and literally after every season I kept reminding myself “it’s gonna go downhill after this.”
I also watched it all a year after it ended. The only thing I knew about the entire show was Dany going crazy and Jon killing her. I still very very much enjoyed the show. When I got to the end I was in denial about how bad it was for about a week, I’d tell my friends (who’d convinced me to watch it in the first place) that certain ends for characters and plotlines made sense bla bla. Then I came to the realisation that it was shit. I was just so in shock of what had unfolded that I refused to think it was bad after I had been binging it for 2 months straight and enjoying every bit of it. Yikes
@@dumpIings kind of, if anything to help me pinpoint the exact moment when everything went to shit, everything was downhill after the battle of the bastards. Tyrian is like a shadow of his former self. They wasted one dragon to bring in one undead soldier to Cersei, I already knew that it was a terrible idea because Circe hated the shit out of Tyrian and try to kill him. yet he’s still try to reason with her knowing full well says she would rather watch the world burn. They wasted half a season for that plot point to go nowhere.
For the promised neverland, it’s important to say how much they botched it. They cut full arcs, one of them being seen as the best arc; they cut some of the best characters; and they added random plot convenience/asspulls to reach a strange conclusion
Show was very interesting 1st season and second season kinda slowed down and ending just sealed it as a lazy excuse. Sad to see how it ended but animation and stuff started to slow down for me also the "smart tactics" from season 1 where not seen anywhere in season 2. Very sad to see.
You're underselling it, The manga had its own decline after goldy pond (the best arc) where there are too many characters for any of them to have any weight and so many anticlimaxes that you can't get invested in story beats anymore, but that was gradual. The anime was about to get to the best arc, and it decided to skip it, rush and butcher the rest of the series and then add in a BvS "Martha" scene in for good measure.
ALF, it was a 4 season sitcom in the 80s and literally the last episode was ALF was captured by the government and the show just ends on a cliffhanger because they cancelled the 5th season.
@user-ue3xb8tz1u I never cared for Ozark. It felt like asking ChatGPT to write a Breaking Bad esque show featuring Michael Bluth, and most of the characters were downright obnoxious. The best character was a caricature of bipolar people.
my name is earl had the same thing happen where there was a massive cliff hanger in season 4 witch was that the father of the main characters ex wifes child who was believed to be the ex wives new boyfriend kid is actually some one elses and the ex wives other kid is actually the main characters even though she was pregnant with that one before they met great show though minus the ending and its funny but has a great message and was one of the first sitcoms and only on tv to have a full coherent narrative where each episode ties into the last in season 3 and the other ones but season 3 to bigger extent
Show runners need to stop trying to “get your audience.“ letting your audience feel smart and guess things but still delivering a meaningful story is way better than the alternative
The perfect example of this (in my opinion) is The Owl House. So many hints, so many fan theories, and just enough information for most of those theories to be true. No spoilers about the episode, but season 2's Hollow Mind episode managed to be an absolutely incredible episode (maybe the best in the season) while barely presenting any information fans couldn't have reasonably guessed beforehand.
Would be enough to create a story that makes sense and doesn't rely 100% on plotarmor or idiot-plot to work. That's writing basics. Adding twists that aren't on the nose but CAN be figured out before the reveal is then skill. Tying absolutely everything together that has happened in a logical, emotional way is the masterclass then. Oda can do that quite well. 'Getting your audience' is a retard game, done by shitty writers that somehow got in their minds that audience is the enemy. Tell a great story, shitheads, that's your whole job. Not being "clever", or pulling the rug. Just make a good story. Well shit, at this point i'd be happy if the formulaic storytelling we get with every Marvel Show and Movie and all their spawns would stop. And the remakes. Just some.. original stories would be nice. Even just a story told hundreds of times but told extremely well, like most stories that move us are anyway.
Exactly. It's also something that applies to running a D&D game, as you place hints and ideas and players come up with theories and things, it's okay for those theories to pan out to be correct, you don't have to change things in order to surprise people. The Henson groundwork, are there for a reason you lay them there so that way people can pick up on them and eventually lead a conclusion that will be satisfying, but within that you can have a little bit of surprise that will not break the overall journey and ending.
I'd like to submit Pretty Little Liars for the list. The whole show was said to be built up for 7 seasons around the mystery of "who's the mastermind behind A" and on the last episode they say oh it's Spencer's long lost twin British sister. Like what??
Yep. My girlfriend made me watch the whole thing with her and when that episode started, I felt like I had just wasted so much time. That was the most brain dead, easy out of an ending.
It was meant to end in season 3, and you can tell. Everything after that is pretty batshit... The whole Aria and Ezra plot, for example, was wildly toxic from the beginning. But when I found out this bro knew she was a minor and specifically sought her out so he could have a relationship with her because she was "interesting" and he wanted to write a book about her, but then ALSO he was preying on her OTHER MINOR FRIEND--like, what the actual fuck??? Then they end up getting married, lol. Tf even
I was so surprised Dexter wasn’t mentioned for how much I WISHED the second last episode was the final. But holy smokes that finale still fills me with disappointment.
I never liked Dexter, I was too busy watching Burn Notice. (which also had a bad ending but for different reasons imo) I watched the last 3 seasons when Tom Hanks son comes into play and yeah it's pretty bad.
I'm still watching Dexter, I'm on season 3, but I heard the creators and Dexter's actor didn't want to make another season, but they both were being basically forced to
I never thought a bad ending could completely ruin a franchise until Game of Thrones. It went from being one of my favorite shows to a show I completely forget about.
@@kennythefatnord Exactly. One awful final season does not erase the 7 great ones that came before it. Despite the s@$tfest that was season #8, Game of Thrones remains my favorite show.
I never finished GoT as a first-time watcher. I stopped at season 6 just so I wouldnt have to confront the awful ending that everyone preached about. Should I finish it? or prevent myself from a world of hurt?
Speaking of sitcoms, Two and a Half Men had a notoriously bad ending. Season spent the last few episodes teasing that Charlie might not be dead. It then ends with a strange 4th wall break with a Charlie body double getting crushed with a piano and the creator Chuck Lorre saying "Winning"
Nah that ending is great. The show was floundering and hadn't been good for a while. Then they had all this bullshit and random meta wall breaks and Arnold Schwarzenegger and a bunch of in joke call backs to previous characters and then finally a piano dropping on Charlie and the creator. It's so absurd but it was funny and memorable and a lot better than anything from the seasons preceding it. Also tbh they had other plans but Charlie Sheen demanded a bunch of bullshit and wanted a new sitcom called "The Harpers'" to spawn off of it.
Trollhunters (not season 3, the movie that caps off the entire franchise) Spoilers: They literally just reset the timeline and erase every single bit of character development and world building in an instant because Jim didn’t wanna accept that his friend died.
The Spanish show "Los Serrano" was a comedy with dramatic elements that devolved into a mess so big that they didn't know how to end it, so they made it all a dream of one of the characters
@@manzanito3652 I've seen ONE "it was a dream" episode that worked really well. Just one. "The sting" in futurama is by far one of the best episodes of the series, and it's a dream episode. The only time I've ever seen it work well
"Subvert expectations". That's what happened to Game of Thrones. Turns out the series was so well written that it established a good enough lore that the audience could accurately predict what would happen and how characters would react. So they rewrote things to not make any sense specifically just to write something that audiences would never predict, redgardless of how baf it was. So instead of a satisfying ending people wanted, it got a bullspit ending literally written just to make something no one could predict. Every writer should be strung by their toes on strings.
The idiocy to think subverting expectations is more important than having a narrative that the audience can actually follow logically and understand... what kind of buffoonery went into that decision making I'll never understand.
Like so many hours watching analysis videos because it was like a fun puzzle and the discussion was fucking great and then what foreshadowing no we're SUBVERTING
The bigger your audience the more likely it is for someone out of millions to potentially predict what's going to happen But obviously that shouldn't discourage you from going forward with that idea Although, sometimes a change of plans is for the best too Usually you leave creatives to do their thing, but studio interference can save projects too There are no clear rules, nothing's set in stone, there is no perfect formula for everything
A spoiler free explanation of Promised Neverland Season 2's trainwreck- -They skipped an arc -The ending basically spits on season 1 -after the "end", it's a slideshow of spoilers of the manga, including the ultimate character interactions that the entire manga lead up to -an implication that something that lent huge weight to the ending in the manga just wasn't the case in the anime. Didn't just spit on the manga, outright shat it into a dumpster and left it to rot.
I didn't read the manga, but even I knew something massive must have been cut out of season 2. When I looked it up after that insanely pathetic slideshow....thing, it was revealed that season 2 was done so horribly bad and so many people were angry at one of the most important arcs being cut out, the show got cancelled, which led to the slideshow nonsense.
thank you for this, i was always planning to watch the Promised Neverland but at the time it was when season 2 was being dunked on, so i didnt know if it was worth watching anymore but i also didn't want to accidentally spoil myself to find out. Ig i'll only watch the first season since it doesn't look like season 2 is necessary.
To remind people HBO WANTED a complete season 8 and a season 9 finale but the showrunners said, "we just need 6 episodes." This is like unlocking a rare achievement in stupidity.
Yep George R Martin wanted at least 10 full seasons. HBO was completely onboard for the 10 season plan after the first seasons major success. But dumb & dumber only wanted 6 from the very start. They signed on to do *at least* an 8 season contract but chopped it down to 6 and two half seasons after getting their Star Wars deal.
The impact of GOT’s ending has been completely unforeseen. Even watching House of the Dragon now feels weird because you know that whatever happens it isn’t gonna lead to anything worthwhile. For a long time in my family, I was joking that Bran was my favourite character and that I hoped he became king and everyone would groan at it. Cut to “Who has a better story than Bran the broken?” And I literally started laughing as everyone just glared at me. But also “How I Met your mother: Or the story of how I met the woman who would birth you two after 9 years of fruitlessly chasing Aunt Robin until your mother died, is it ok if I date her again now?”
That’s the worst part knowing this targaryen dynasty we are watching and the talks of winter coming and the prince who was promised it all sucks knowing it leads to nothing but just a bad ending
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob its seriously so fucking insane that literally the first scene is about the white walkers and the night king. So right off, you know the show is building up for the white walkers. But then they kill him off like hes nothing in the first big battle with him.
Every clip I've seen of house of dragons is just a static indoor environment with one person talking slowly to another character. I'm glad Ambien is really getting representation in major production these days. If those clips put me to sleep I can't even imagine what a whole episode might do.
"When this great winter comes Rhaenyra, a Targaryen must be seaten on the Iron Throne. A king or queen, strong enough to unite the realm against the cold, and the dark." Cut to GOT season 8: Arya stabs Night King, Aegon doesn't wunnnit and Dany kinda forgot about Euron's fleet
It’s funny why How I Met Your Mother’s ending was so bad. The creators wanted to use the same kids from the beginning of the show so they shot the ending during season 2 filming. They could have easily said, “that ending doesn’t really fit in to where the show is almost a decade later” and shot something else. It was such an easy problem to fix and I’m still not sure why they didn’t do it.
Left my autistic son in a rough area. Didn't want him anymore too much to take care of. Gave him a backpack and a sign to hold saying the n word and left.
This is why animation is superior to live action, you don't have to worry about the characters growing too old. Also if back to the future replaced the professor, they could have replaced the kids. It's not like I remembered how the kids looked like by season 8
@@khaledm.1476 But like, you do? There are so many cases where an animated actor had to be replaced in a sequel because they were too old. Finding Dori doesn't have the same actor for Nimo because he was far too old for the role. Lilo in Lilo and Stitch only had her original voice actor for her original movie, but everything else after had a different one for the same reason. Animation isn't immune to people being too old for roles
@@Miriam_J_ The voice actors don't have to look a certain way. You can get someone who sounds close enough to work. You can't really do that for appearance.
I've never watched Game of Thrones and I kept hearing it was good, but then the colossal upset of the final season that pissed everyone off to the point where nobody talked about it other than to scold it made me think "why should I watch this if the finale is absolute dogshit?" Those producers had something good going and killed it just to move on, and Disney rightfully saw that shit and did not want them to do that to Star Wars. (So Disney did that shit themselves lol)
They didn't kill it just to move on, they just didn't know how the proceed. The show was great when they were adapting the books, but it stopped once they had to create their own story.
It's about the journey not the destination, seasons 1-5 are worth it if you haven't been spoiled on everything. I stopped watching after S6 so the ending hasn't ruined the good seasons for me. Watch it.
Watch the first 6 seasons and stop, it's still fun TV. Although I don't understand if you don't want to because of the ending, I skipped on some shows because of their endings
If you don't mind the story not having an ending, I really recommend watching through season 4. Fair warning, it is hard to end it there, but the first four seasons are really good.
I’m of the opinion that “it’s not always the destination but the journey to get there” and Game of Thrones was still some of the most incredibly produced television/media I had ever seen up until it shit the bed, at least.
Alf ended with Alf being captured and a "to be continued" because they expected more seasons. They did do a TV movie later but at that time they ended a lighthearted show with a strange cliffhanger.
Bro, Alf was wild. It always surprises me how many people have never heard of it. I'm only 28 lmao I feel like everyone my age or older should know... Apparently not 😂
Even though I was no longer in the fandom when it ended, I'd like to give an honourable mention to Supernatural. Back in the day I remember theorising with a bunch of other fans on how the show might have a beautiful and poetic ending. What we actually got was, as I'm sure a lot of people were aware because the news was everywhere, horribly laughable. There were so many memes about how bad the ending was it was honestly kind of sad. Cas gets sent to Super Hell immediately after his love confession to Dean, years of fighting monsters and Dean dies to a tiny fucking metal spike, and Sam is forced to wear the worst old-person wig in history. Glad I got out of there when I did.
First 5 seasons were amazing. After that it fell off but there was at least some pretty decent stuff, some decent seasons mixed in with the mediocre ones. But that final season was utterly insulting lol. Good that someone mentioned it
For those of you still scratching those brain filled heads about the promised never land, imagine this; The first 5 Harry Potter movies come out. Great films received well loved by all- then they release a Nintendo DSI memory camera slideshow of the events of the next 4 films, all narrated by Harry talking to himself. Like it sounds like a joke or made up- no that’s literally what happened.
@@sterlingtolman Eh…if the finished show is a disaster then I’d rather it be left open. Season 2 of No Game No life is never coming out at this point but if the second season is shit I would be fine with it never coming out.
@@sterlingtolman Dude, a finished show can't be undone without, restarting, generally. A cliffhanger means it can continue properly. Why would you force endings onto things. Endings are usually the worst part of a show ANYWAY.
Knowing D&D basically killed their careers after they gave us season 8 is the only solace I can find. Knowing they lost a Star Wars trilogy is the only thing that brings me a small amount of joy.
yes, but is also George RR Martin's fault too, he never finished the last book, so the showrunners ended it they way they did because no one knew how to end it before starting making the series. George Martin said he was going to finish the last book back in 2011, we are in 2022 and still no book finished
@@acfan8253 the book's finished. George keeps insisting it's not done yet, when the sample chapters have been out for years. There is only one reason I can see for this. This book is so unbelievably anti-woke and anti-progressive george is going to die and not have to deal with the backlash.
@@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334 i don’t know if that’s true but it wasn’t available for the show runners and the show to use as a blue print like they did with the previous seasons with the previous books. To me George RR Martin is trying to save his reputation while he produces the spin-off that they are releasing now. Either way it wasn’t entirely the fault of Weiss and Benioff, everyone in the show should have had an idea on how to finish the show before they started it
From what I can gather from interviews, d&d stopped going to grrm. The book series could have made the show last for more seasons but d&d wanted out early. I wish hbo could have forced them to hand over reigns to different showrunners.
I would say one of the worst endings is Merlin: The whole point of the show was for the wizard Merlin to help King Arthur to become the greatest king however in the final King Arthur spends the whole episode slowly dying which ends with him dying without fulfilling his purpose in the show, the main villain who is a super powerful wizard dies crouched in a bush by Merlin with a sword, there was no ending for the side characters, and the main character Merlin ends up as a postman in the future (Merlin has a very long lifespan) still depressed that he couldn't save Arthur then the show ends.
man, im a huge fan of the show and i couldn't agree more. i've seen some people make the argument that it was being faithful, but it could've been faithful AND still had a better ending. imagine if in the last episode for Season 4, Arthur found out Merlin had magic, and Season 5 was about Arthur coming to terms with it? he starts to understand Merlin a little better and more and more as each episode goes by. He builds the kingdom that was prophesized to come, before one final war against Morgana that, despite winning, leads to his death. His legacy leaves the new testaments for Camelot for Gwen to rule over, and Merlin still fulfills his destiny. Sorry for the essay, but i just can't help but think how much better the ending could've been handled.
It was still good after the books ended. Season 6 with battle of the bastards was really well done. What killed it was exactly what Charlie said, when they decided to speed run the conclusion so they could go do star wars.
@@johncarlson5636 It was decent but nowhere near the first 4 seasons. Everyone watching knew the good guys are going to win. That moral ambiguity, the constant doubt was completely gone.
I agree. That's the reason why I still have hopes for the book ending. Sure it'll be the same but with more details, twists etc it can be way better. That being said, I will still be mad about Bran being the king of Westeros.
Not really. The main issue was they rushed the last two seasons because D&D wanted to work on other projects and didn't want to give anyone else the reigns to the show.
dexter needs a mention too. it had a pretty bad ending , then after years it came back with another final season. the quality of the season was awesome with every episode being better than the last one. the acting was really good and mr crabs' acting was AMAZING. last episode's first half was also high quality, all that buildup only to stab the viewer with an even worse ending than the original.
I thought I could never forget how they ruined Dexter. But when I remember how supernatural destroyed me with their bad ending I actually do forget about Dexter 🙂
@@lmr10-c4z I heard Supernatural was meant to end after season 4 when Eric Kripke left. It would have been and awesome bittersweet ending. But they CWd the shit out of it
In my opinion, nothing can be terrible than Dexter. People would've been more satisfied and happier with an "it was all just a dream" episode rather than the finale, which brings up my next point. The original ending for that show was supposed to be a dream with the very last episode being Dexter strapped to a gurney in prison as he's about to be executed. That honestly would've been a better ending.
I haven't watched the new season, but the end of the original series was REAL bad. Like, he just stopped killing people and went to be a lumberjack. When the whole series was that he couldn't stop killing people, he had to kill people, so he directed the need to kill at people who deserved it. Until the crappy ending, for no reason.
Dexter was my first show that I absolutely hated how they ended the series. To this day I only accept the first 4 seasons as canon and stop rewatching after that.
S5 was one of the best and I don't know why anyone thinks differently. Replace hannah with lumen and everything makes sense. Just delete hannah from ur brain and the show is good again
I loved the cameo of D&D in Westworld where they where chopping a dragon for parts and talking about selling them in the black market or something. Felt really symbolic for what they did with game of thrones.
The worst part of HIMYM's ending wasn't even that he went back to Robin, it was that it ends with his kids basically giving him permission to date her again
I disagree, the thing that ruined the finale for me was how they straight up butchered Barneys character development and wasted the final season in a wedding that ultimately led to nothing
I have to admit that the ending was always going to be the one we got, the creators decide it that since season 1, its hurtfull to not see the mom be happy with ted and her kids, but at least it wasn't rushed or betrayed the original idea.
I think it leaves a pretty darn dark message, like "I catfished my kids with the story of how I met their mother to instead slowly explain to them how much I wanna date their fucking Aunt", because, let's face it, they're almost family by that point.
They ran out of money. That's a lot more understandable than something like Game of Thrones or Two and a Half Men where the writers actively did not give a sh*t.
Hearing what happened to d&d in the aftermath of season 8 brings me nothing but joy. Glad to hear their Star Wars deal got ripped away from them. Star Wars fans have no idea how good they have it rn

If HBO just said “fuck it, season 8 sucked ass, we’re picking up from where we left off in 6 or 7,” and they brought everyone back to make a few more legit seasons, I think it would be very successful
Let's be honest that's never gonna happen. Because of the ending the show was deemed as a failure and it's hard to change people's perspective. Have you seen any gigantic corporation take a risk like that and invest so much money in a project they wouldn't even know it'd pan out? The show is dead and buried and it'll stay that way.
@@peanutbutter369 Pretty sure they are waiting for GRRM to actually finish the fucking thing because the parts that were directly adapted were the best parts. Its a gamble, but I think its the one with the highest chance of success.
Teen Titans def deserves a spot, for our last episode we got to see Beastboy's heart get ripped into pieces over the loss of his friend and love-interest. Then he weirdly runs into a white abyss once it seems that he's accepted the fact that Terra isn't alive anymore....and that's it.
To be fair they were cancelled so I think they planned to make another season and left it on a cliffhanger so there would be interest for a renewal but that ended up not happening
So happy you mentioned Lost!! I spent the entire video leading up to that mention wondering how it wasn’t discussed, I was so disappointed in the ending and I will forever be confused how it ended up like that

@@soruvfrancis6210 the HUGE amount of people invested, I never watched the show, but my then gf and many of my friends were really invested. I know from them how shitty the end was and how dissatisfied they were
I actually was looking at an article that was recommended to me recently about bad show endings when I learned that Dexter has an absolutely egregious ending. What makes it even better is they brought back the show for a pseudo 9th season (it was a limited series "sequel") 8 years later and managed to fuck up the ending AGAIN! It's actually impressive they managed to fuck it up not once but twice.
its sad tho because the start was pretty good, and the middle was great. The cast was fun, it was an interesting premise and a way to justify the god awful ending. Plus Clancy Brown was a terrific villain. But fuck man, how did they mess it up, I was actively loving it week to week, then it all crumbled down into dogshit. Only reason i think the sequel has such a hurtful ending is because it was limited to 1 season, so the decline was so drastic and kind of came out of left field, not a slow decline into terrible like Game of Thrones, where most people knew it would have a terrible ending by the time the 6th season ended, but New Bloods garbage ending came out of nowhere

The thing about the ending to Scrubs is that it actually had a fantastic ending. It was heartfelt and left everything important satisfyingly resolved. So then it got renewed for one more season.
Same thing for supernatural, had a perfect ending with sam willing himself over lucifer and sacrifing himself to save the world Then we got more seasons and the powerlevel scale got out of control
The Killing Eve ending made me look back to GoT and think “wow that actually wasn’t that bad” On every level it was genuinely so awful: thematically, plot-wise, technically, reversing show-long character development, just how stupidly abrupt it was. It was actually so unbelievable I thought for sure it was a fake out. I feel like if it was as well known as GoT most people would agree it was worse lmao…
so glad I quit after 20 minutes into season 4. now I only need to erase 20 minutes of my memory and have the bridge scene in season 3 as the true ending.
Oh, someone agreed with me. Yeah, it's hard to actually watch the entire show and not come away with it being the worst ending there was. If you just stopped watching at the end of EP8 and decided that was the ending and the last 2 episodes didn't exist at all, you'd enjoy it more.

When Charlie said The Promised Neverland it hurt so bad. I forgot how bad season two was until he re-explained it. It was so disappointing my brain scrubbed it from my memory
I really liked Lost's ending. Did a re-watch last year, and that entire final season is a lot stronger than I remembered. Agree with you on Game of Thrones though. What a disappointment.
The how I met your mother ending is so bad because when you eventually meet the mother, she is perfect. Actually worth the 9 season build up. Just for her to die in 5 minutes and ted to end up with Robin who we have seen many times before that ted and Robin don't work together. It kind of frames the story in a strange way. Since ted is basically telling this long winded story as a roundabout way of asking his kids for permission to bang their aunt.
They also stole from Friends. When chandler and monica say their vows chandler denys the paper he wrote and speaks from the heart . And with barney they id the EXACT same thing. I didnt feel the connection bettween barney and robin at all either . I dono the show we down hill so fast
They did a whole episode about Ted finally letting go/getting over Robin just to pull a 180 few episodes later. If they knew Robin was the end goal, why make that episode in the first place?
Bad endings often happen when writers of shows what to "surprise" the audience. Don't do this. It rarely ends well unless you've planned it from day one. Just give the audience what they want its not bad to do this.
For a twist to work that really surprises the audience like the creators intend, it has to be foreshadowed. There must be some essence of it existing within the script, very early into it. Think of the Sixth Sense's twist ending(25+ year old movie spoilers ahead lol), where you see that Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time. The movie drops tons of hints, very subtle ones, but hints nonetheless. I for one thought it very odd and wondered how he even survived the opening scene, and that thought stuck with and ultimately caught up to me at the end. Shit was brilliant. Too bad about M. Night Shyamalan's later career...lol. But if you don't build a surprise up and instead just let it come out of thin air, its going to suck ass. Its going to ruin the plot, the setting, the characters, and the narrative will have a hard time making sense afterward. Always a bad idea.
@Eccentric Queen I don't believe in One Piece ever ending. It'll go on and on until Oda can't write anymore for whatever reason and remain this gigantic mystery, like stonehenge. Future generations will analyze and reanalyze the entire plot, manga page by page, show frame by frame looking for hidden clues. And then, hundreds of years from now, we will know: the one piece was the adventure and the friends along the way.
"Just give the audience what they want its not bad to do this." Right? I mean, if viewers/readers/players didn't like getting the ending they want, there wouldn't be tons of fanfiction where fans go and try to imagine how things would've gone, had the creators not decided to put surprise for the sake of surprise over a satisfying resolution for the plot.
I usually finish every show regardless if I like it or not. The one show I couldn't physically keep watching was The Promised Neverland S2, it's literally torture. I'm not even a manga reader but I could notice how they were butchering the original story... definitely one of the worst things I've ever watched. Sad, considering season 1 slaps.
The ending of Lost is good, people who think it's bad are usually misunderstanding what happens in the end, or just heard about it from someone else who didn't understand it and never watched it themselves
oh boy, I hear part 3 is coming this fall, it doesn't look any better, they are trying a wacky humor going on in the background just like in Saint's Row.
The actual worst show ending is the sitcom ALF where the government just actually captures Alf when he’s trying to get onto the alien spaceship home. What a way to end a kids show lol
Was ALF a kid show? I always grouped it into the category of a 80s sitcom at the level of Police Squad, before the 90s made all the adult sitcoms raunchy.
The Promised Neverland season 2’s ending goes even farther than you think in its shittyness. It didn’t just skip 10 chapters from the end of the story, it skipped over 60 CHAPTERS from the middle and arguably close to 100 considering how they compressed and changed a lot of the ending events. In the manga there is a significant amount of time that passes between getting to the bunker and it getting raided, a whole arc even (which is considered the best in the series yes even better than the first season). The slideshow stuff and the Norman stuff were originally the same thing and incredibly connected to each other while returning to grace ville happened after all that. Now the manga ending has its problems as well, with the writing and story having more problems as it went on. I don’t think it was bad just very subpar with lots of room to improve. But the absolute disgrace of Season 2 which could’ve adapted the best of the series has completely overshadowed anything bad about the manga’s ending. Also in terms of How I Met Your Mother the identity of the mother was never really a secret as we were made aware that it was someone we hadn’t met yet within the series. They kept giving us clues as to what the mother looked like and what their personality was, building it up for 8 seasons when the finally revealed the mother who is present in all of season 9. Now satisfying viewers with a character that has been built up for 8 seasons is hard but the mad lads actually pulled it off with the mother being one of the best, funniest most entertaining characters in the entire show who had perfect chemistry with Ted… the problem was then immediately killing the girl who they got us to like and having Ted end up back with Robin, awful stuff so glad they made an alternative ending.
Dexter is up there. a solid spectacular 4 seasons, a mid 5th, 6 was dog, 7 was decent then 8 dropped thw ball and had an ok ending in concept but it was executed poorly. then they brought it back for a ninth season which was a new stylistic take on the show with a slower pace which was great until episode 10 went a million miles an hour to against rush an ok concept making a shit ending. 2 bad endings make dexter one of the worst offenders. I personally don't mind the second ending but the buildup to the ending is awful, a season arc happens in 20 minutes and characters change allegiances in seconds, where the whole season was well thought out and pretty faithful to what I expected the last episode sucked. the first 8 seasons had 12 episodes and New Blood (9) had 10. it's my tinfoil hat game theory that the showrunner (who worked on it in seasons 1-4) expected 12 and wrote for 12 but was told to cut it down to 10. a shame
I believe Dexter: New Blood ending was worse than season 8. (Spoilers) Dexter breaks code for no reason. He was obviously getting out of that situation,.but they wanted to kill him off. There was a lot of set up for the rich man, but nothing used. A lot of set up of "Angel is coming to confront Dexter". Nothing happens. So slow. Too much set up. Nothing happened. Rushed ending. At least season 8 had an ending...Dexter: New Blood did not.
Everything after season 4 of Dexter Sucked. In fact Season 3 also sucked. Seasons 1, 2, and 4 were brilliant. The rest? 🤮. Also everytime he mentioned "The Dark Passenger" FFS
The Promised Neverland anime always hurts... Cutting out the best part of the manga, changing so many things, and rushing through every single arc that could've taken 3 or 4 more seasons And cramming it all into one. I'm glad there's at least still the manga for people who want actual closure for the story. It's much better, still has its problems, but nothing like the anime. It deserved a better adaptation.
The ending is the only part that can make or break a consumable media's ability to be revisited by consumers. You can mess up the beginning and parts of the middle but the ending is the catalyst.
I agree, I havent watched GOT and the people talking about how bad last 2 seasons are killed my will to even begin watching it. I would rather watch a bad start and a good ending that does justice to the characters, unlike The 100.
Honestly, I'm not sure I fully agree. Now, make no mistake, ending is absolutely important - it's the final payoff. The end of the journey. But when everything leading to the end is atrocious, when beginning and middle are incomprehensive, are you really that invested to see the end?

Yes HIMYM was a great journey, but the ending negates all the characters growths just so they could stick to an ending they filmed like a decade earlier.
The show also thrived on being some sort of counter sitcom but fell victim to the most annoying elements of sitcoms. The "will they/wont they" being so absurdly tired by the time it was aired, I'd say it was refreshing knowing that the production was self aware to always say "they won't." but then they did anyway. It was so cheap and basically annihilated the whole concept of the entire show, which was that Ted grew up and found love in an unexpected place.
It should have ended with Ted meeting their mother. That’s what it’s about. There were hints and moments leading to it and we got there and it could’ve just said “and that is how I met your mother” or hell, they could’ve had them meet, have first date and a montage, she could even be dead still, you know?
The thing I hate about HIMYM's ending is that they already had a perfect ending. But they decided to just keep going instead of cutting the show right when Ted meets Tracy. Literally all they had to do was stop.
My eye nearly twitched hearing that they were given a chance to do more with Game of Thrones and decided to speedrun the end. Been watching a lot of great animated shows that had to deal with ending too early or Korra's case of the inconsistent amount of time they had remaining... it just feels really disrespectful.

This man speaks facts. Like he's right about how Breaking bad ended so nicely that it's still talked about to this day, and we all wanted to forget the monstrosity that was the series finale of GOT. It wasn't that bad in my opinion until Daenerys decided to lose her shit
@@TheSl0thinator the fact I seen some reactors actually get hype to that bullshit makes me go boomer rant mode about where our culture is headed and I hate that it happens
I am willing to die on the hill that Game of Thrones would have been for sure the best TV show of all time if it had stayed constitantly peak after season 4 and didn't have a rushed ending.
I think what sucks the most about Game of Thrones season 8 was that everyone but D&D brought their A game for the final season. The crew and actors all gave it their all but it wasn't enough.
I think everything from the acting, special effect, production values, music being top tier makes season 8 even worse. Everything in the last season was top tier except for the writing.
@@gs19022 In retrospect, you could see some cracks in Season 4 (which reveal themselves in Season 5). But yeah Season 4 to Season 5 is a significant drop in quality where GoT is still a good TV show but it's not what it once was and then Season 7 onwards it's just coasting on reputation.
I’ll never get over how disappointing the HIMYM ending was. The entire show is leading up to Ted meeting Tracy. Throughout the show it’s beaten over ours and Ted’s heads that he and Robin don’t work. You know who does work? Barney and Robin, they work scarily well. They compliment each other’s personalities and managed to bring out the best in each other. They made *sense*. Then the entire last season is surrounding the like 3 day period of their wedding and it’s messy, but overall manageable. They then decide to absolutely gut the relationship they’ve been building up for seasons and the marriage they spent a whole season getting to happen. We finally get Tracy and she’s everything he was hyped up to be. She’s pretty, funny, incredibly smart, she clicks so well with each member of the group, she’s literally Ted’s other half. And instead of letting them be happy together, they kill her off and have Ted get with Robin? Despite everything saying they weren’t good together? It feels so cheap. It wastes amazing character development Barney, Robin, AND Ted, and makes the show feel redundant. Ted’s back with the woman he was obsessed with in season 1. I personally don’t think it kills the shows rewatchability, but it definitely sours it’s finale.
Literally it’s so infuriating everyone is back to square one. The only thing I liked about the finale is Barney becoming a father and maturing as a result
The GoT guys pretty much destroying their reputations and careers because they got too excited and greedy is honestly amazing. Waking up in the morning knowing you did that to yourself must be ROUGH
They also outed themselves in an interview insuring one of the last seasons that this was their first step to success, theyd been trying to get into Hollywood for years. In fact they wrote that horrible 2010s wolverine movie everyone hates. Stop gloating you guys told on yourselves!

As someone who watched How I Met Your Mother about 7 times, I don't think the mother being dead was that bad, but building up to Barney and Robin's wedding all season just to have them divorce in the last 2 episodes was the dumb part
The ending had been planned like that from the very beginning so they couldnt just not do it. Also they didnt take into account the longevity of the series and the growth of the characters so it was an inevitable failure.
I'm still rattled by how bad The Promised Neverland season 2 was. It almost makes season 1s greatness seem accidental, and they just couldn't figure out what they did.
Left my autistic son in a rough area. Didn't want him anymore too much to take care of. Gave him a backpack and a sign to hold saying the n word and left.
Season 1 followed the manga exactly, and season 2 skipped the entire rest of the manga and they made up an original ending because they didnt want to make multiple seasons so it turned out dogshit.
The reason why so many anime have bad endings is because the mangas they're based on tend to get suddenly axed. Mangas run on a weekly chapter popularity basis, so if a manga doesn't create the amount of readership the magazine distributor wants they tell the mangaka to wrap it up within a few chapters and then replace the manga with a more popular one in their magazine. Kind of hard to come up with a good ending if you're told you're basically fired and have only few chapters left to work with.
The anime/manga industry honestly sounds like a shithole to be in. I don’t really participate in the medium that much, but that’s a sucky thing to hear about.
@@korbenharrison434 it can be really cut throat, but there are some really great series to be found, and some publishing companies do monthly releases instead of weekly so it's less insane on the people making the series, tho obviously weekly stuff is pushed harder on readers.
@@ginogatash4030 That's good to know! Honestly, every industry has its upsides and downsides, and the negative aspects do tend to get far more attention than the positive ones. Because I don't really watch anime I only really know the more problematic treatments of some shows, but I have huge respect for the artists and creators, and I'm sure some companies treat their employees with at least some respect! Also, I guess you can attribute "bad endings" to any genre anyway, so we should try to focus on the well-thought-out endings instead.
@@korbenharrison434 yeah pretty much, I think the best part of anime and manga is that they don't arbitrarily limit the amount of generes to push in a particular medium for no real reason like US productions do, where every cartoon is either a kid friendly comedy/adventure or an ugly adult sitcom, and every comicbook is about superheroes, yeah 99% of anime are adaptations of mangas, but that neabs you don't have to worry about the story being shit if the manga has good writing, and you get some really interesting stuff you'd never see elsewhere for better or worse, I'm not some ultra weeb who keeps up with all the new hot releases, even mainstream ones, but there is variety, tho it can be annoying to track down stuff that isn't in any legal streaming site or whatever, especially with older shows, and even moreso older manga, at least for English speaking countries, in Europe there's a pretty decent selection even for stuff from the 60's and shit.
I cam agree but the promised neverland anime and manga was totally different. The first season followed the anime pretty closely. Then by season 2 episode 3 or 4 they decided to cut out 3-4 arcs worth of content just to rush Norman back. Tpn could've been a 4 or 5 season anime. The Manga was pretty much finished when they started animation. Wasn't a huge fan of the ending but it was better than whatever the hell they thought they were doing. We need a "the promised neverland: brotherhood" to remedy that 2nd season. I still get pissed to this day
Game of Thrones is like the MySpace of television. Everybody was into it at one point (MySpace being the second half of the 2000s, Game of Thrones being the 2010s), then something affected both which made them die out in popularity (MySpace being Facebook, Game of Thrones being its infamous final season) and they got reduced to being nothing more than fads of their retrospective decade (MySpace being a 2000s fad, Game of Thrones being a 2010s fad).

Game of Thrones having such a terrible ending was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me. My actual name is Winter, and I was in college in a very nerdy field when GoT was popular, so every time I entered a room, everyone would always say "brace yourselves, Winter is coming!" which got real old real fast. A guy even tried to use that as a pick up line on me once. Then season 8 happened and I haven't heard a single reference to it ever since. My quality of life has increased significantly.

The very definition of "The man who chases 2 rabbits get neither".
I feel this is the worst thing about the GoT experience. Even HBO wanted a longer last season.
It was because of their Star Wars deal that Dumb & Dumber chose to end Game of Thrones with season #8 and rushed the last season so they could get to work on Star Wars ASAP and it totally came back to haunt them big-time because season #8 was so awful that Disney soon after ripped apart the contract with Dumb & Dumber and those two idiots deserved it.

Well you'd be surprised how many people I've come into contact with that would love shit on a plate, thus praising the chef for subverting expectations.
i think i saw this analogy from alex on the angry joe show, but i totally agree. idc about subverting expectations if you make what we’re expecting not worth it.

Imma be honest the ending was cool since we knew it couldn't be Robin but then finding out that he told all the story to justify wanting to be with Robin for all the time they spent together
@@ARASH_SAMIEI all I got from the stories that Robin and Ted were horribly incompatible. Also, Ted wants the dream family with a wife and kids while Robin can’t, and doesn’t want kids, so Ted gets what he wants and then when the kids are grown up just runs back to Robin to live her dream life. So if his wife survived would’ve he have just divorced her to get back with Robin?
Game of Thrones no doubt. It destroyed the momentum of a pop culture juggernaut. I poured years of my life into the show and the books, and the final episodes was a spit in the face to me and thousands of others equally as invested.

Hey at least we got house of the dragon. It’s off the an amazing start. The first episode is already better than GOT ep 1
Yea but no one else did. And they are still making more to this day....
GoT is an incredible phenomenon to examine. For six, seven years it held pop culture in a chokehold. Dudebros talked about GoT. Soccer moms talked about GoT. Literally everyone was watching that show. It was the most viewed, the most pirated, the most everything. And after that ending, it completely vanished. Nobody even talks about it. It's insane.

You forgot the best part about the ending of How I Met Your Mother. Before the final episode came out, someone on Reddit posted a comment with their theory on how the show would end, coming uncannily close to what the actual ending was. At the time, though, the comment was massively downvoted, with most people replying that would be a terrible ending or that the writers would never be so stupid as to give such an unsatysfying ending 💀
I remember someone on 4chan leaking the plot of the last few episodes of GoT. I caught on maybe with 3 episodes left or something. I remember seeing that they got the 3rd and 2nd episodes exactly right but I thought certain aspects of the last episode were so absurd I still could not believe it was going to pan out that way. Literally I thought the anon did have the correct knowledge but they were using that knowledge as a means to troll people about the ending and appear credible. Once the camera started panning to the new King of Westeros I finally was thinking “oh no… anon was telling the truth.”

As a wise commentor said, Season 8 didn’t just ruin Game of Thrones.
*It killed it’s rewatchability*

I actually disagree with this. While season 8 is not good compared to the rest of the show, on rewatch it actually makes it more palatable. Week to week is was rough, but on a binge it's actually much better.
The Game of Thrones ending is uniquely terrible in that it retcons the quality of the whole show. Everyone running around saying "winter is coming" and the tension of the big looming threat of the whitewalkers totally falls flat when you know it just ends up being a single episode scuffle that kills like one secondary character.
Yeah now the new show is talking about the threat coming, they need to be on the throne when it comes is kinda laughable too thinking how they will beat them in one episode and move on from white walkers
Absolutely agree Lyle. It kills all rewatchability and all the amazing shocking moments from earlier no longer matter because of it.
@@JJ-dh5vq I usually go back and re-watch my favorite shows from the start. But I have no interest with GOT.

@@tapa5602 Just think that it never happened. Like the Star Wars sequels. George RR Martin will finish it properly, or he’ll die and it will never be finished. That’s how it is in my mind, or I can’t handle it.
although a lot of people blame Weiss and Benioff for the ending, people forget that is also George RR Martin's fault too. The guy never finished the last book, since 2011 he said he was about to finish it and now 2022 he still hasn't finished it. Everyone in the show, Benioff, Weiss, George Martin decided to make the show without knowing how to end it in first place...
Darling in the Franxx stands out as the anime that shit the bed the hardest in recent memory. It's like they were actively trying to make people hate their show

People that can't appreciate a good Gainax Ending make me sad. Y'all make me sad.
You're capping, the ending wasn't as good as the rest but it's nowhere near that bad
although it's a bit different cause you could argue that the ENTIRE show is bad not just the ending.
to anyone who enjoyed even a fraction of darling in the franxx but thought it was handled poorly just watch neon genesis evangelion. it's the original show that inspired darling and it's 10000000x better.
How I met your Mother's ending's problem is not the mom or the fact that she's dead. The mom was perfectly cast and introduced and they had gut punching foreshadowings that she's actually dead in the future. The problem is everything else. They gave these two deeply flawed characters a good romance story only for them to break up and go back to their bad habits in the second to the last episode just because the original script for the ending didn't include that. They built 9 seasons of hype for the mother to appear and when she shows up it was perfect but on the last episode it's revealed that the main character is only telling the story about their mother to the kids because he wants permission to bang another woman. Truly a horrible horrible ending.
Agreed. I think the ending would have been fine if the mother had still died but no they had to push this love story between Ted and Robin. That was a dead romance long ago and I have no idea what idiot decided to bring it back. And the disappointment of building up this relationship between Robin and Barney and them becoming better people for and with each other is ridiculous that it ended and so quickly for the audience. They literally spend a whole season on them and building up how they got married only to rip that away minutes into the final episode. And the entire reason he's telling his kids the story of how he meet there mom was just to ask to bang Robin again. Epically disappointing. Ruins the whole show.
@@Ktakahashi18 They probably had the idea that Robin and Ted ended up together when they first started the show, and the series was supposed to be about their ups and downs and whatnot. Unfortunately, they ended up writing things going in a different direction as the seasons continued, but didn't want to scrap their original concept of Robin = Mother, so they just tacked it on in the end. Kind of like how JK Rowling claims she wrote that horrendous epilogue chapter before writing most of the other books. Not to start any ship wars here, but Harry x Ginny never had any chemistry in the books or movies.
I think a lot of it was that the story was never about the mother, it was about the characters in the show growing and changing and just having funny random side missions. The whole point of the show was comedy and I think that ending was pretty comedic but also I was simultaneously very disappointed.
Damn thats fuckin shit
how is that a horrible thing to do? he’s allowed to still want to seek love even if he has kids, you guys are looking at this through how happy was this show instead of how realistic and the whole journey of it. part of journey is the ending but it’s only part of it. the journey is the main thing.
"At least since the ending of Game of Thrones sucked, we can go back to saying that Breaking Bad was the best show on television." - some tweet I saw about 4 years ago that has stuck with me.

The Sopranos is better than Breaking Bad
@@ceoofbased6850 no

The ending of Game of Thrones will probably be used as a case study for exactly how not to end a show, what a shame
it will, nay MUST be taught at film universities.
Yur I make entertaining videos as well
game of thrones would be infinitely better if the night king won. like, if any show had the capacity to pull off a full-blown downer ending it's game of thrones. the last season turning into a full on horror movie as the last of the heroes are picked off one by one. daenerys being the last survivor and being slowly and painfully eaten alive by wight-viserion, her own dragon child turned undead monster. the final shot being the night king sitting upon the iron throne, staring chillingly into the camera as the scene cuts to black, showing how all their struggles for power, their petty arguments over a chair, was meaningless in the face of an overwhelming force of nature that was beyond them all and who they refused to unite against.
Read my name
GoT was pretty important to me before they ruined it. The first season on the show was the last time I was genuinely happy, I was in a small hotel room in Stockholm with a dear friend snuggling watching the show on a shitty laptop. I even thought "I wish this moment could last forever." as I had been (and still was) depressed. After that I have yet to experience happiness again and I will probably end my days without feeling it. Since then I've isolated myself, lost all friends, developed and diagnosed schizophrenia, majority depressed, addiction.
That show meant so much to me, after they slaughtered the last seasons I haven't watch anything. I've just lost interest in TV, and everything else too really.
So yeah, not a fan.

THANK YOU
About "How I Met Your Mother", they made it blatantly clear in the very first episode that Robin was not the mother even though Ted spent the whole episode talking about how he met Robin. The story writers and producer had already decided the ending that was for Robin to end up with Ted, so they filmed the ending with Ted's kids saying "You gotta go after aunt Robin" but after Robin and Barney got together they hit it off and the producers changed their minds but rushed the last 2 episodes (if not, 2 whole seasons) in order to get to the end quicker.
In last 2 episodes the relationships that they built on over the span of past 2 seasons suddenly come to an end, series of events occur out of nowhere, characters act like they haven't learned their lessons inspite of going through the character development only to end up where they previously were in the beginning of the show thus, overthrowing the show as a whole
this. the ending still disappoints me to this day.
I refuse to accept that last episode as canon, it completely invalidates the entire run of the show
Eh, show was shit to begin with.
If they didnt buildup B&R so much during that season it might have been fine but both Robin and Ted's arcs in the last season went off the fucking rails at the very end like what???
I would have 100% understood Ted ENDING up with Robin but not like this
I’ve been rewatching bits of HIMYM and was thinking about how terrible the ending is, so this video and coming out and being able to talk about it is great. It’s nuts that ted spent years looking for “the one” and found her then tells his kids the heartwarming story of how he met his true love and all his kids get from it is that he wanted to be with robin the entire time and they were also ok with it and he literally finished telling the story and goes to meet robin. It fails on every level
what’s hilarious to me is right before season 8 aired, there were interviews of a lot of the cast making awkward faces or quietly ignoring the interviewer when asked if they liked the ending. it’s a goldmine watching back cuz….they knew
Of course they new. They are almost all talented actors who had been doing this for ten years at that point. They knew it was shit.
It was the same with The Rise of Skywalker.

It's still baffling to me how they built up the Ice King to be this unstoppable behemoth with a massive army that has the ability to take down the Nights Watch Wall on top of controlling dragons, only to be killed by a little girl with a tiny knife in a single episode.
Not just that, she leapt a horizontal 50ft over a group of super ice warriors with super hearing.. in order to get there, against a dude who can see everything that was, is and will be.
Straight kicked me in the balls with that bs.
None of that really bothered me, because I learned from playing chess that you can absolutely kill the king with a pawn if you play well. What bothered me was she made the massive jump and YELLED while she did so. Its a surprise attack, emphasis on the surprise, why tf would you yell???
Yur I make entertaining videos as well
I have been rewatching Adventure Time and now all I can think of is how that Ice King has a better arc than GoT
I had absolutely no problem with that part. I felt like Arya had been built up to be badass enough to pull that off, everything, literally everything that happened after that point was such hot garbage though
I vividly remember watching 8x03. I was in college, had just come back from a night out drinking, and was ready to watch one of the most hyped episodes of one of my favorite shows in a great mood. I had to watch on my phone cause I had no tv at the time and left my laptop at a friends. The episode was cool but I kept feeling this creeping anxiety ramp up each time something nonsensical happened, which by the end of the episode may as well have been countless times. I remember that by the end of the episode when they have the scene of the Night King approaching Bran, I had such a bad headache from having to squint my eyes to see wtf was happening that I didn’t even notice the quality of the direction during that scene (minus the nonsensical moments) or the brilliant musical score. This was with my phone at max brightness in a pitch dark room. Then Arya pulled her little shiv hand switcheroo and brain kinda just short circuited at what I had just witnessed.
The sad thing about HIMYM is that the fans were cool with the new character for the mom, and most of us were cool with her being dead and Ted being a single dad, but it was when he goes back to Robin that it just feels like a slap in the face.
For me, it was Barny. They developed him so much throughout the show with the burning of the playbook and the whole season dedicated him to getting married, and then they throw all of that juicy character development out the window and revert him back to the same sleezy asshole that he was on day 1. I felt that was a bigger slap in the face than Robin or Tracy's death since he was my favorite character on the show.
Ahhh after seeing it ten times it honestly makes me smile now. especially after the credits role and they show pictures of the cast in season one and you see how much they've all changed and how young they all were in the first season. It might not be the ending we wanted but at least it's a somewhat happy one.
Ah was looking for this comment
i lost faith when they revealed how 'everything' was just a ploy by barney to propose to robin
It also annoyed me so much that they spent the entire funking last season building up to the wedding and finding "the mom" and then in the last episode Barney and Robin split up and several years pass...
COULD YOU NOT HAVE SHOWNED THOSE YEARS IN THE LAST SEASON?
What they did to Jamie in thrones will never be forgiven. 6 seasons of character development all gone in 1 single scene for no apparent reason at all.
Jaime * and yeah I’ll forever hate the ending of GoT for them having him go back to his vile sister. When he is pretty much in love with Brienne in the books 😭
Honestly, if they weren't going to do anything with him, they should've let Dany kill him on the battlefield. It would set the stage for her turning evil, as we see a beloved character die by her hand, but the situation itself would be completely understandable from her perspective. And then we don't have weird scenes like her showing mercy to the man who killed her father to conflict with her turn.
@@1hourgamereviews an even simpler ending would have him die protecting Bran. At least that provides some kind of arc. Goes from trying to kill him to protecting him.

I got into Game of Thrones a year after it ended and I went into it knowing all the spoilers and I enjoyed most of the show all but the last two seasons. I finally understand what the fans feel, and literally after every season I kept reminding myself “it’s gonna go downhill after this.”
did it at least take the edge off?
I also watched it all a year after it ended. The only thing I knew about the entire show was Dany going crazy and Jon killing her.
I still very very much enjoyed the show. When I got to the end I was in denial about how bad it was for about a week, I’d tell my friends (who’d convinced me to watch it in the first place) that certain ends for characters and plotlines made sense bla bla.
Then I came to the realisation that it was shit. I was just so in shock of what had unfolded that I refused to think it was bad after I had been binging it for 2 months straight and enjoying every bit of it. Yikes
the end wasn't that bad and this is a cold take (as usual) from critical who only follows the popular opinion
@@KushAstronaut uh oh we got one of those people. Normies w/ Shit taste
@@dumpIings kind of, if anything to help me pinpoint the exact moment when everything went to shit, everything was downhill after the battle of the bastards. Tyrian is like a shadow of his former self. They wasted one dragon to bring in one undead soldier to Cersei, I already knew that it was a terrible idea because Circe hated the shit out of Tyrian and try to kill him. yet he’s still try to reason with her knowing full well says she would rather watch the world burn. They wasted half a season for that plot point to go nowhere.
For the promised neverland, it’s important to say how much they botched it. They cut full arcs, one of them being seen as the best arc; they cut some of the best characters; and they added random plot convenience/asspulls to reach a strange conclusion
They literally took full arcs and turned them into a literal slideshow for the ending, it sucked so much
Show was very interesting 1st season and second season kinda slowed down and ending just sealed it as a lazy excuse. Sad to see how it ended but animation and stuff started to slow down for me also the "smart tactics" from season 1 where not seen anywhere in season 2. Very sad to see.
i wouldn’t say worst but it’s so bad i tried to watch it after reading the manga and the whole pond arc was removed💀
You're underselling it, The manga had its own decline after goldy pond (the best arc) where there are too many characters for any of them to have any weight and so many anticlimaxes that you can't get invested in story beats anymore, but that was gradual. The anime was about to get to the best arc, and it decided to skip it, rush and butcher the rest of the series and then add in a BvS "Martha" scene in for good measure.
Ruined all the set up from season 1
ALF, it was a 4 season sitcom in the 80s and literally the last episode was ALF was captured by the government and the show just ends on a cliffhanger because they cancelled the 5th season.

i'm fucking pissed friends sitcom has bad ending even the writers could take a shit on a toilet to forgot the ending
@user-ue3xb8tz1u I never cared for Ozark. It felt like asking ChatGPT to write a Breaking Bad esque show featuring Michael Bluth, and most of the characters were downright obnoxious.

Show runners need to stop trying to “get your audience.“ letting your audience feel smart and guess things but still delivering a meaningful story is way better than the alternative
The perfect example of this (in my opinion) is The Owl House. So many hints, so many fan theories, and just enough information for most of those theories to be true. No spoilers about the episode, but season 2's Hollow Mind episode managed to be an absolutely incredible episode (maybe the best in the season) while barely presenting any information fans couldn't have reasonably guessed beforehand.
It’s the Lynch effect, I hate his guts for doing that type of stuff.
Would be enough to create a story that makes sense and doesn't rely 100% on plotarmor or idiot-plot to work. That's writing basics. Adding twists that aren't on the nose but CAN be figured out before the reveal is then skill. Tying absolutely everything together that has happened in a logical, emotional way is the masterclass then. Oda can do that quite well.
'Getting your audience' is a retard game, done by shitty writers that somehow got in their minds that audience is the enemy. Tell a great story, shitheads, that's your whole job. Not being "clever", or pulling the rug. Just make a good story.
Well shit, at this point i'd be happy if the formulaic storytelling we get with every Marvel Show and Movie and all their spawns would stop. And the remakes. Just some.. original stories would be nice. Even just a story told hundreds of times but told extremely well, like most stories that move us are anyway.
Exactly. It's also something that applies to running a D&D game, as you place hints and ideas and players come up with theories and things, it's okay for those theories to pan out to be correct, you don't have to change things in order to surprise people.
The Henson groundwork, are there for a reason you lay them there so that way people can pick up on them and eventually lead a conclusion that will be satisfying, but within that you can have a little bit of surprise that will not break the overall journey and ending.

Yep. My girlfriend made me watch the whole thing with her and when that episode started, I felt like I had just wasted so much time. That was the most brain dead, easy out of an ending.

True pretty little liars definitely had one of the worst endings
It was meant to end in season 3, and you can tell. Everything after that is pretty batshit...
The whole Aria and Ezra plot, for example, was wildly toxic from the beginning. But when I found out this bro knew she was a minor and specifically sought her out so he could have a relationship with her because she was "interesting" and he wanted to write a book about her, but then ALSO he was preying on her OTHER MINOR FRIEND--like, what the actual fuck???

Speaking of sitcoms, Two and a Half Men had a notoriously bad ending. Season spent the last few episodes teasing that Charlie might not be dead. It then ends with a strange 4th wall break with a Charlie body double getting crushed with a piano and the creator Chuck Lorre saying "Winning"
Wtf lmaoo
I love that ending
I forgot about that!!! It was such a disappointment! I was pissed at church lore
Nah that ending is great. The show was floundering and hadn't been good for a while. Then they had all this bullshit and random meta wall breaks and Arnold Schwarzenegger and a bunch of in joke call backs to previous characters and then finally a piano dropping on Charlie and the creator. It's so absurd but it was funny and memorable and a lot better than anything from the seasons preceding it. Also tbh they had other plans but Charlie Sheen demanded a bunch of bullshit and wanted a new sitcom called "The Harpers'" to spawn off of it.

Actually good show, good thing I ignored the movie
The Spanish show "Los Serrano" was a comedy with dramatic elements that devolved into a mess so big that they didn't know how to end it, so they made it all a dream of one of the characters
"It's was all a dream" is the storytelling equivalento to blue balls.
i agree "everything was a dream" is the same as "congratulations you just wasted you time watching this show"
Like the US tv show Dallas
Los Serrano died with Lucia
@@manzanito3652 I've seen ONE "it was a dream" episode that worked really well. Just one. "The sting" in futurama is by far one of the best episodes of the series, and it's a dream episode. The only time I've ever seen it work well
"Subvert expectations". That's what happened to Game of Thrones. Turns out the series was so well written that it established a good enough lore that the audience could accurately predict what would happen and how characters would react.
So they rewrote things to not make any sense specifically just to write something that audiences would never predict, redgardless of how baf it was. So instead of a satisfying ending people wanted, it got a bullspit ending literally written just to make something no one could predict. Every writer should be strung by their toes on strings.
The idiocy to think subverting expectations is more important than having a narrative that the audience can actually follow logically and understand... what kind of buffoonery went into that decision making I'll never understand.
Like so many hours watching analysis videos because it was like a fun puzzle and the discussion was fucking great and then what foreshadowing no we're SUBVERTING
Also didn’t help the fact that they tossed George to the side lol
The bigger your audience the more likely it is for someone out of millions to potentially predict what's going to happen
But obviously that shouldn't discourage you from going forward with that idea

A spoiler free explanation of Promised Neverland Season 2's trainwreck-
-They skipped an arc
-The ending basically spits on season 1
-after the "end", it's a slideshow of spoilers of the manga, including the ultimate character interactions that the entire manga lead up to
-an implication that something that lent huge weight to the ending in the manga just wasn't the case in the anime.
Didn't just spit on the manga, outright shat it into a dumpster and left it to rot.
Underrated comment
Thanks!
I didn't read the manga, but even I knew something massive must have been cut out of season 2. When I looked it up after that insanely pathetic slideshow....thing, it was revealed that season 2 was done so horribly bad and so many people were angry at one of the most important arcs being cut out, the show got cancelled, which led to the slideshow nonsense.
thank you for this, i was always planning to watch the Promised Neverland but at the time it was when season 2 was being dunked on, so i didnt know if it was worth watching anymore but i also didn't want to accidentally spoil myself to find out. Ig i'll only watch the first season since it doesn't look like season 2 is necessary.
Well this saved me from watching it
You can’t expect to squish Pedro Pascal’s head like that, on screen,and still be allowed to helm a Star Wars project.
To remind people HBO WANTED a complete season 8 and a season 9 finale but the showrunners said, "we just need 6 episodes."
This is like unlocking a rare achievement in stupidity.
Yep George R Martin wanted at least 10 full seasons. HBO was completely onboard for the 10 season plan after the first seasons major success. But dumb & dumber only wanted 6 from the very start. They signed on to do *at least* an 8 season contract but chopped it down to 6 and two half seasons after getting their Star Wars deal.
@@Hylian_Glitchmobber and people cancelled their starwars deal. Justice well served

@@Hylian_Glitchmobber That makes it worse for D&D 😂
The impact of GOT’s ending has been completely unforeseen. Even watching House of the Dragon now feels weird because you know that whatever happens it isn’t gonna lead to anything worthwhile. For a long time in my family, I was joking that Bran was my favourite character and that I hoped he became king and everyone would groan at it.
Cut to “Who has a better story than Bran the broken?” And I literally started laughing as everyone just glared at me.
But also “How I Met your mother: Or the story of how I met the woman who would birth you two after 9 years of fruitlessly chasing Aunt Robin until your mother died, is it ok if I date her again now?”
That’s the worst part knowing this targaryen dynasty we are watching and the talks of winter coming and the prince who was promised it all sucks knowing it leads to nothing but just a bad ending
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob its seriously so fucking insane that literally the first scene is about the white walkers and the night king. So right off, you know the show is building up for the white walkers. But then they kill him off like hes nothing in the first big battle with him.
Every clip I've seen of house of dragons is just a static indoor environment with one person talking slowly to another character. I'm glad Ambien is really getting representation in major production these days. If those clips put me to sleep I can't even imagine what a whole episode might do.
@@MrTongen in the first season when talks of the previous winter they said it lasts years even an entire generation but we got ONE NIGHT
"When this great winter comes Rhaenyra, a Targaryen must be seaten on the Iron Throne. A king or queen, strong enough to unite the realm against the cold, and the dark."
Cut to GOT season 8: Arya stabs Night King, Aegon doesn't wunnnit and Dany kinda forgot about Euron's fleet
It’s funny why How I Met Your Mother’s ending was so bad. The creators wanted to use the same kids from the beginning of the show so they shot the ending during season 2 filming. They could have easily said, “that ending doesn’t really fit in to where the show is almost a decade later” and shot something else. It was such an easy problem to fix and I’m still not sure why they didn’t do it.

This is why animation is superior to live action, you don't have to worry about the characters growing too old. Also if back to the future replaced the professor, they could have replaced the kids. It's not like I remembered how the kids looked like by season 8
@@khaledm.1476
But like, you do? There are so many cases where an animated actor had to be replaced in a sequel because they were too old. Finding Dori doesn't have the same actor for Nimo because he was far too old for the role. Lilo in Lilo and Stitch only had her original voice actor for her original movie, but everything else after had a different one for the same reason. Animation isn't immune to people being too old for roles
@@Miriam_J_ The voice actors don't have to look a certain way. You can get someone who sounds close enough to work. You can't really do that for appearance.
The Flash went from steady decline in writing to falling right off a cliff.
I've never watched Game of Thrones and I kept hearing it was good, but then the colossal upset of the final season that pissed everyone off to the point where nobody talked about it other than to scold it made me think "why should I watch this if the finale is absolute dogshit?" Those producers had something good going and killed it just to move on, and Disney rightfully saw that shit and did not want them to do that to Star Wars. (So Disney did that shit themselves lol)
They didn't kill it just to move on, they just didn't know how the proceed. The show was great when they were adapting the books, but it stopped once they had to create their own story.
It's about the journey not the destination, seasons 1-5 are worth it if you haven't been spoiled on everything. I stopped watching after S6 so the ending hasn't ruined the good seasons for me. Watch it.
Watch the first 6 seasons and stop, it's still fun TV. Although I don't understand if you don't want to because of the ending, I skipped on some shows because of their endings
If you don't mind the story not having an ending, I really recommend watching through season 4. Fair warning, it is hard to end it there, but the first four seasons are really good.
I’m of the opinion that “it’s not always the destination but the journey to get there” and Game of Thrones was still some of the most incredibly produced television/media I had ever seen up until it shit the bed, at least.
Alf ended with Alf being captured and a "to be continued" because they expected more seasons. They did do a TV movie later but at that time they ended a lighthearted show with a strange cliffhanger.
They also had an animated series taking place before the show, where Alf was still on his home planet.
Bro, Alf was wild. It always surprises me how many people have never heard of it. I'm only 28 lmao I feel like everyone my age or older should know... Apparently not 😂
@@pattmahiney your talking about the thing that looks like an animal right?
Even though I was no longer in the fandom when it ended, I'd like to give an honourable mention to Supernatural. Back in the day I remember theorising with a bunch of other fans on how the show might have a beautiful and poetic ending.
What we actually got was, as I'm sure a lot of people were aware because the news was everywhere, horribly laughable. There were so many memes about how bad the ending was it was honestly kind of sad. Cas gets sent to Super Hell immediately after his love confession to Dean, years of fighting monsters and Dean dies to a tiny fucking metal spike, and Sam is forced to wear the worst old-person wig in history.
Glad I got out of there when I did.
Glad at least SOMEone mentioned it. 👍
We have those first 5 seasons man, no one can take that from us.
First 5 seasons were amazing. After that it fell off but there was at least some pretty decent stuff, some decent seasons mixed in with the mediocre ones. But that final season was utterly insulting lol. Good that someone mentioned it
Supernatural went on too long. Most shows can’t work past season 5. Supernatural was on for three presidencies

Knowing D&D basically killed their careers after they gave us season 8 is the only solace I can find. Knowing they lost a Star Wars trilogy is the only thing that brings me a small amount of joy.
yes, but is also George RR Martin's fault too, he never finished the last book, so the showrunners ended it they way they did because no one knew how to end it before starting making the series. George Martin said he was going to finish the last book back in 2011, we are in 2022 and still no book finished
@@acfan8253 the book's finished. George keeps insisting it's not done yet, when the sample chapters have been out for years. There is only one reason I can see for this. This book is so unbelievably anti-woke and anti-progressive george is going to die and not have to deal with the backlash.
What happened to them after season 8
@@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334 i don’t know if that’s true but it wasn’t available for the show runners and the show to use as a blue print like they did with the previous seasons with the previous books. To me George RR Martin is trying to save his reputation while he produces the spin-off that they are releasing now. Either way it wasn’t entirely the fault of Weiss and Benioff, everyone in the show should have had an idea on how to finish the show before they started it
From what I can gather from interviews, d&d stopped going to grrm. The book series could have made the show last for more seasons but d&d wanted out early. I wish hbo could have forced them to hand over reigns to different showrunners.
I would say one of the worst endings is Merlin:
The whole point of the show was for the wizard Merlin to help King Arthur to become the greatest king however in the final King Arthur spends the whole episode slowly dying which ends with him dying without fulfilling his purpose in the show, the main villain who is a super powerful wizard dies crouched in a bush by Merlin with a sword, there was no ending for the side characters, and the main character Merlin ends up as a postman in the future (Merlin has a very long lifespan) still depressed that he couldn't save Arthur then the show ends.
Idk, I liked the ending
I get your frustration, but it was based on an already existing story
man, im a huge fan of the show and i couldn't agree more.
i've seen some people make the argument that it was being faithful, but it could've been faithful AND still had a better ending.
imagine if in the last episode for Season 4, Arthur found out Merlin had magic, and Season 5 was about Arthur coming to terms with it? he starts to understand Merlin a little better and more and more as each episode goes by. He builds the kingdom that was prophesized to come, before one final war against Morgana that, despite winning, leads to his death.
His legacy leaves the new testaments for Camelot for Gwen to rule over, and Merlin still fulfills his destiny.
Sorry for the essay, but i just can't help but think how much better the ending could've been handled.
Completely agree. I love Merlin but that ending was so disappointing...
SO TRUE FUCKK

dude that shit pissed me off so much. Just a full on cliff hanger. At least brotherhood has an actual ending
Honestly, GOT was destined to fail as soon as DnD ran out of books, no matter how amazing the cast was.
It was still good after the books ended. Season 6 with battle of the bastards was really well done. What killed it was exactly what Charlie said, when they decided to speed run the conclusion so they could go do star wars.
@@johncarlson5636 and what’s funny they never actually ended up doing Star Wars lol
@@johncarlson5636 It was decent but nowhere near the first 4 seasons. Everyone watching knew the good guys are going to win. That moral ambiguity, the constant doubt was completely gone.
I agree. That's the reason why I still have hopes for the book ending. Sure it'll be the same but with more details, twists etc it can be way better. That being said, I will still be mad about Bran being the king of Westeros.
Not really. The main issue was they rushed the last two seasons because D&D wanted to work on other projects and didn't want to give anyone else the reigns to the show.
dexter needs a mention too. it had a pretty bad ending , then after years it came back with another final season. the quality of the season was awesome with every episode being better than the last one. the acting was really good and mr crabs' acting was AMAZING. last episode's first half was also high quality, all that buildup only to stab the viewer with an even worse ending than the original.
The ending of that new final season hurt my soul.
I thought I could never forget how they ruined Dexter. But when I remember how supernatural destroyed me with their bad ending I actually do forget about Dexter 🙂
That new ending was the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my life.
man i will never forgive them for doing dexter like that
@@lmr10-c4z I heard Supernatural was meant to end after season 4 when Eric Kripke left. It would have been and awesome bittersweet ending. But they CWd the shit out of it
In my opinion, nothing can be terrible than Dexter. People would've been more satisfied and happier with an "it was all just a dream" episode rather than the finale, which brings up my next point. The original ending for that show was supposed to be a dream with the very last episode being Dexter strapped to a gurney in prison as he's about to be executed. That honestly would've been a better ending.
I was incredulous when I watched the New Blood ending. “I don’t want my son to be messed up so I’m going to have him kill his father”

@@Zincmentomint Not a bot, dude...
I mean the show sucked ass after season 4 anyway to be honest.
I haven't watched the new season, but the end of the original series was REAL bad. Like, he just stopped killing people and went to be a lumberjack. When the whole series was that he couldn't stop killing people, he had to kill people, so he directed the need to kill at people who deserved it. Until the crappy ending, for no reason.
Dexter was my first show that I absolutely hated how they ended the series. To this day I only accept the first 4 seasons as canon and stop rewatching after that.
S5 was one of the best and I don't know why anyone thinks differently. Replace hannah with lumen and everything makes sense. Just delete hannah from ur brain and the show is good again

The worst part of HIMYM's ending wasn't even that he went back to Robin, it was that it ends with his kids basically giving him permission to date her again
I disagree, the thing that ruined the finale for me was how they straight up butchered Barneys character development and wasted the final season in a wedding that ultimately led to nothing
I think it go's to show how complicated love can be and I think that's what they were trying to say but hey, At least it's not How I met your father
That was the entire purpose of him telling them that long ass story that started off with him meeting Robin.
I have to admit that the ending was always going to be the one we got, the creators decide it that since season 1, its hurtfull to not see the mom be happy with ted and her kids, but at least it wasn't rushed or betrayed the original idea.
I think it leaves a pretty darn dark message, like "I catfished my kids with the story of how I met their mother to instead slowly explain to them how much I wanna date their fucking Aunt", because, let's face it, they're almost family by that point.
The berserk anime is clearly unfinished and deeply unsatisfying with where it ends and nobody told me.
They ran out of money. That's a lot more understandable than something like Game of Thrones or Two and a Half Men where the writers actively did not give a sh*t.
@@ravedeath7690 Yeah I can understand that but it doesn’t make it a finished work all the same

I actually was looking at an article that was recommended to me recently about bad show endings when I learned that Dexter has an absolutely egregious ending. What makes it even better is they brought back the show for a pseudo 9th season (it was a limited series "sequel") 8 years later and managed to fuck up the ending AGAIN! It's actually impressive they managed to fuck it up not once but twice.
its sad tho because the start was pretty good, and the middle was great. The cast was fun, it was an interesting premise and a way to justify the god awful ending. Plus Clancy Brown was a terrific villain. But fuck man, how did they mess it up, I was actively loving it week to week, then it all crumbled down into dogshit. Only reason i think the sequel has such a hurtful ending is because it was limited to 1 season, so the decline was so drastic and kind of came out of left field, not a slow decline into terrible like Game of Thrones, where most people knew it would have a terrible ending by the time the 6th season ended, but New Bloods garbage ending came out of nowhere

Just for her to die in 5 minutes and ted to end up with Robin who we have seen many times before that ted and Robin don't work together. It kind of frames the story in a strange way. Since ted is basically telling this long winded story as a roundabout way of asking his kids for permission to bang their aunt.

Bad endings often happen when writers of shows what to "surprise" the audience. Don't do this. It rarely ends well unless you've planned it from day one. Just give the audience what they want its not bad to do this.
You’re exactly right. Shows want some big ending that’s surprising or unexpected and it makes it such a shit ending
For a twist to work that really surprises the audience like the creators intend, it has to be foreshadowed. There must be some essence of it existing within the script, very early into it. Think of the Sixth Sense's twist ending(25+ year old movie spoilers ahead lol), where you see that Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time. The movie drops tons of hints, very subtle ones, but hints nonetheless. I for one thought it very odd and wondered how he even survived the opening scene, and that thought stuck with and ultimately caught up to me at the end. Shit was brilliant. Too bad about M. Night Shyamalan's later career...lol.
But if you don't build a surprise up and instead just let it come out of thin air, its going to suck ass. Its going to ruin the plot, the setting, the characters, and the narrative will have a hard time making sense afterward. Always a bad idea.
@Eccentric Queen I don't believe in One Piece ever ending. It'll go on and on until Oda can't write anymore for whatever reason and remain this gigantic mystery, like stonehenge. Future generations will analyze and reanalyze the entire plot, manga page by page, show frame by frame looking for hidden clues. And then, hundreds of years from now, we will know: the one piece was the adventure and the friends along the way.
"Just give the audience what they want its not bad to do this."
Right? I mean, if viewers/readers/players didn't like getting the ending they want, there wouldn't be tons of fanfiction where fans go and try to imagine how things would've gone, had the creators not decided to put surprise for the sake of surprise over a satisfying resolution for the plot.

Or maybe it was actually a very good finale amid the worst season storyline arc possible. I would at least concede that

Good ending
The Ending to WW1 was so terrible they had to make a sequel to it and it was much worse than the first one.
I heard the trilogy is gonna be completed here pretty soon.
Fr the main antagonist they hyped up was mid asf
NAHHHHH- BAHAHAHA- I'M SORRY THAT IS HILAROUS!
oh boy, I hear part 3 is coming this fall, it doesn't look any better, they are trying a wacky humor going on in the background just like in Saint's Row.
the sequel to WW1 and WW2 has been in the works for so long, it better not be disappointing!
The actual worst show ending is the sitcom ALF where the government just actually captures Alf when he’s trying to get onto the alien spaceship home. What a way to end a kids show lol
That's actually pretty screwed up. Imagine if ET ended with ET being captured and killed in experiments.
Was ALF a kid show? I always grouped it into the category of a 80s sitcom at the level of Police Squad, before the 90s made all the adult sitcoms raunchy.
Are you serious? I never knew that. Alf had some asshole writers, lol.
WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME OF THIS? I TRIED SO HARD TO SCRUB IT FROM MY MEMORY
it has a movie that continues off it
The Promised Neverland season 2’s ending goes even farther than you think in its shittyness. It didn’t just skip 10 chapters from the end of the story, it skipped over 60 CHAPTERS from the middle and arguably close to 100 considering how they compressed and changed a lot of the ending events. In the manga there is a significant amount of time that passes between getting to the bunker and it getting raided, a whole arc even (which is considered the best in the series yes even better than the first season). The slideshow stuff and the Norman stuff were originally the same thing and incredibly connected to each other while returning to grace ville happened after all that. Now the manga ending has its problems as well, with the writing and story having more problems as it went on. I don’t think it was bad just very subpar with lots of room to improve. But the absolute disgrace of Season 2 which could’ve adapted the best of the series has completely overshadowed anything bad about the manga’s ending.
Also in terms of How I Met Your Mother the identity of the mother was never really a secret as we were made aware that it was someone we hadn’t met yet within the series. They kept giving us clues as to what the mother looked like and what their personality was, building it up for 8 seasons when the finally revealed the mother who is present in all of season 9. Now satisfying viewers with a character that has been built up for 8 seasons is hard but the mad lads actually pulled it off with the mother being one of the best, funniest most entertaining characters in the entire show who had perfect chemistry with Ted… the problem was then immediately killing the girl who they got us to like and having Ted end up back with Robin, awful stuff so glad they made an alternative ending.
I made a mistake pressing read more.
the promised Neverland was so good in s1. S2 is so fucking dogshit I never knew you could fuck up an anime so bad after such an amazing season.

Not reading allat 🤣
Imagine watching How I met your mother. Imagine having any expectations for How I met your mother.
Scorpion. The show ends on a cliffhanger where they all hate each other.
Dexter is up there. a solid spectacular 4 seasons, a mid 5th, 6 was dog, 7 was decent then 8 dropped thw ball and had an ok ending in concept but it was executed poorly. then they brought it back for a ninth season which was a new stylistic take on the show with a slower pace which was great until episode 10 went a million miles an hour to against rush an ok concept making a shit ending. 2 bad endings make dexter one of the worst offenders.
I personally don't mind the second ending but the buildup to the ending is awful, a season arc happens in 20 minutes and characters change allegiances in seconds, where the whole season was well thought out and pretty faithful to what I expected the last episode sucked. the first 8 seasons had 12 episodes and New Blood (9) had 10. it's my tinfoil hat game theory that the showrunner (who worked on it in seasons 1-4) expected 12 and wrote for 12 but was told to cut it down to 10. a shame
it is always the 8th season of tv shows that suck. The walking dead. Game of thrones, Dexter, Etc. 💀💀
I believe Dexter: New Blood ending was worse than season 8.
(Spoilers) Dexter breaks code for no reason. He was obviously getting out of that situation,.but they wanted to kill him off. There was a lot of set up for the rich man, but nothing used. A lot of set up of "Angel is coming to confront Dexter". Nothing happens.
So slow. Too much set up. Nothing happened. Rushed ending.
At least season 8 had an ending...Dexter: New Blood did not.
I hate New Blood. I preferred the Lumberjack ending.
@@KINGVALORE I totally agree. I was fine with the original ending. Now, I hate the ending.
Everything after season 4 of Dexter Sucked. In fact Season 3 also sucked. Seasons 1, 2, and 4 were brilliant. The rest? 🤮. Also everytime he mentioned "The Dark Passenger" FFS
The Promised Neverland anime always hurts...
Cutting out the best part of the manga, changing so many things, and rushing through every single arc that could've taken 3 or 4 more seasons
And cramming it all into one.
I'm glad there's at least still the manga for people who want actual closure for the story.
It's much better, still has its problems, but nothing like the anime.
It deserved a better adaptation.
Especially hurts with how great the first season was
What are you talking about? I don't recall a season 2 of TPN.
@@sakethvenkatesh2492 it came out in 2021, but it hasnt been added to netflix
The whole second half of the manga deserves to be rewritten aswell
The manga was pretty bad as well.
The ending is the only part that can make or break a consumable media's ability to be revisited by consumers. You can mess up the beginning and parts of the middle but the ending is the catalyst.
I agree, I havent watched GOT and the people talking about how bad last 2 seasons are killed my will to even begin watching it. I would rather watch a bad start and a good ending that does justice to the characters, unlike The 100.
Honestly, I'm not sure I fully agree. Now, make no mistake, ending is absolutely important - it's the final payoff. The end of the journey. But when everything leading to the end is atrocious, when beginning and middle are incomprehensive, are you really that invested to see the end?
Code Geass fans seething
@@Azuhilies Watch it, i heard about how bad the last seasons were but I watched it anyways and it’s definetly worth it, yes the last season seem really rushed but the first 6 are amazing

Both endings of dexter are the reason nobody talks about it anymore
Yes HIMYM was a great journey, but the ending negates all the characters growths just so they could stick to an ending they filmed like a decade earlier.
The show also thrived on being some sort of counter sitcom but fell victim to the most annoying elements of sitcoms. The "will they/wont they" being so absurdly tired by the time it was aired, I'd say it was refreshing knowing that the production was self aware to always say "they won't." but then they did anyway. It was so cheap and basically annihilated the whole concept of the entire show, which was that Ted grew up and found love in an unexpected place.
Yeah HIMYM ending was terrible
It should have ended with Ted meeting their mother. That’s what it’s about. There were hints and moments leading to it and we got there and it could’ve just said “and that is how I met your mother” or hell, they could’ve had them meet, have first date and a montage, she could even be dead still, you know?
The thing I hate about HIMYM's ending is that they already had a perfect ending. But they decided to just keep going instead of cutting the show right when Ted meets Tracy. Literally all they had to do was stop.
Marshall is still one of the greatest characters from anything ever, Jason Segel killed that role
My eye nearly twitched hearing that they were given a chance to do more with Game of Thrones and decided to speedrun the end. Been watching a lot of great animated shows that had to deal with ending too early or Korra's case of the inconsistent amount of time they had remaining... it just feels really disrespectful.

This man speaks facts. Like he's right about how Breaking bad ended so nicely that it's still talked about to this day, and we all wanted to forget the monstrosity that was the series finale of GOT. It wasn't that bad in my opinion until Daenerys decided to lose her shit
Idk man the Night King getting one shotted was pretty ass.
@@TheSl0thinator The only time in my life that an episode of TV truly made me feel anger
Dany going mad could be a pretty good plot point and it makes sense, but it needed to be fleshed out instead of happening out of nowhere
@@TheSl0thinator the fact I seen some reactors actually get hype to that bullshit makes me go boomer rant mode about where our culture is headed and I hate that it happens
I am willing to die on the hill that Game of Thrones would have been for sure the best TV show of all time if it had stayed constitantly peak after season 4 and didn't have a rushed ending.
I think what sucks the most about Game of Thrones season 8 was that everyone but D&D brought their A game for the final season. The crew and actors all gave it their all but it wasn't enough.
And HBO offered them more money and episode’s but nah, they didn’t realize that their careers were peaking with the show.
I think everything from the acting, special effect, production values, music being top tier makes season 8 even worse. Everything in the last season was top tier except for the writing.
Not really, the acting in season 8 is pretty bad, but the quality of the whole show was in a huge decline since season 5 so I don't blame the cast
@@gs19022 In retrospect, you could see some cracks in Season 4 (which reveal themselves in Season 5). But yeah Season 4 to Season 5 is a significant drop in quality where GoT is still a good TV show but it's not what it once was and then Season 7 onwards it's just coasting on reputation.
@@unc54 Season 4 is great to me. Season 5 and 6 have a little bit of a drop off. Seasons 7 and 8, don’t even get me started…
It's amazing how even god is pissed at the ending of game of thrones.

I’ll never get over how disappointing the HIMYM ending was. The entire show is leading up to Ted meeting Tracy. Throughout the show it’s beaten over ours and Ted’s heads that he and Robin don’t work. You know who does work? Barney and Robin, they work scarily well. They compliment each other’s personalities and managed to bring out the best in each other. They made *sense*.
Then the entire last season is surrounding the like 3 day period of their wedding and it’s messy, but overall manageable.
They then decide to absolutely gut the relationship they’ve been building up for seasons and the marriage they spent a whole season getting to happen.
We finally get Tracy and she’s everything he was hyped up to be. She’s pretty, funny, incredibly smart, she clicks so well with each member of the group, she’s literally Ted’s other half. And instead of letting them be happy together, they kill her off and have Ted get with Robin? Despite everything saying they weren’t good together?
It feels so cheap. It wastes amazing character development Barney, Robin, AND Ted, and makes the show feel redundant. Ted’s back with the woman he was obsessed with in season 1. I personally don’t think it kills the shows rewatchability, but it definitely sours it’s finale.
Literally it’s so infuriating everyone is back to square one. The only thing I liked about the finale is Barney becoming a father and maturing as a result
Saw the title of this video and came to the comment section to find this and you said it all my friend.
Oh my God, you couldn't be any more right. That finale infuriated me. I absolutely hate Robin and Ted together.
nah
can y’all speak English, idk wtf that stands for.
Game Of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Naruto Shippuden, Darling In The Franxx, How I Met Your Mother, The Star Wars Franchise..
Unless they change it Attack on Titan boutta have a severe hold my beer moment
Was gonna say the same thing haha
Aot endings gonna be controversial no doubt either gonna love it or hate it no inbetween
@@toasty6943 after 8 months of the ending it's safe to say 90% people liked it
The GoT guys pretty much destroying their reputations and careers because they got too excited and greedy is honestly amazing. Waking up in the morning knowing you did that to yourself must be ROUGH
I know! Waking up in their mansions must be challenging
They also outed themselves in an interview insuring one of the last seasons that this was their first step to success, theyd been trying to get into Hollywood for years. In fact they wrote that horrible 2010s wolverine movie everyone hates. Stop gloating you guys told on yourselves!
@@jackkenny4194 with a far less income to keep up with expenses for their luxury mansion lifestyles?
Nah, you’re right, I’m sure there’s absolutely no stress for them at all. People who create art/content for a living certainly don’t feel it when the public they spend their lives trying to impress with their work now thinks they’re laughing stocks. Money buys happiness after all, glad you got it all figured out!
So much for their potential Star Wars movie, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And they deserve every little bit of hate they get
As someone who watched How I Met Your Mother about 7 times, I don't think the mother being dead was that bad, but building up to Barney and Robin's wedding all season just to have them divorce in the last 2 episodes was the dumb part
This fcking this
Yur I make entertaining videos as well
Lol I’ve seen it about the same amount. Yeah the ending sucks but it’s still one of the best sitcoms and one of the most rewatchable shows
And then having Ted going back Robin was really dumb too
The ending had been planned like that from the very beginning so they couldnt just not do it. Also they didnt take into account the longevity of the series and the growth of the characters so it was an inevitable failure.
“I’m a human being with a lot of emotions.”😐
I'm still rattled by how bad The Promised Neverland season 2 was. It almost makes season 1s greatness seem accidental, and they just couldn't figure out what they did.
Left my autistic son in a rough area. Didn't want him anymore too much to take care of. Gave him a backpack and a sign to hold saying the n word and left.
To be fair the PowerPoint finish was a brave choice.
As someone who read the manga, I was crushed they cut the next big arc, cut the best character (only real adult) in the show, and rushed the ending.
Season 1 followed the manga exactly, and season 2 skipped the entire rest of the manga and they made up an original ending because they didnt want to make multiple seasons so it turned out dogshit.

The reason why so many anime have bad endings is because the mangas they're based on tend to get suddenly axed. Mangas run on a weekly chapter popularity basis, so if a manga doesn't create the amount of readership the magazine distributor wants they tell the mangaka to wrap it up within a few chapters and then replace the manga with a more popular one in their magazine. Kind of hard to come up with a good ending if you're told you're basically fired and have only few chapters left to work with.
The anime/manga industry honestly sounds like a shithole to be in. I don’t really participate in the medium that much, but that’s a sucky thing to hear about.
@@korbenharrison434 it can be really cut throat, but there are some really great series to be found, and some publishing companies do monthly releases instead of weekly so it's less insane on the people making the series, tho obviously weekly stuff is pushed harder on readers.
@@ginogatash4030 That's good to know! Honestly, every industry has its upsides and downsides, and the negative aspects do tend to get far more attention than the positive ones. Because I don't really watch anime I only really know the more problematic treatments of some shows, but I have huge respect for the artists and creators, and I'm sure some companies treat their employees with at least some respect! Also, I guess you can attribute "bad endings" to any genre anyway, so we should try to focus on the well-thought-out endings instead.
@@korbenharrison434 yeah pretty much, I think the best part of anime and manga is that they don't arbitrarily limit the amount of generes to push in a particular medium for no real reason like US productions do, where every cartoon is either a kid friendly comedy/adventure or an ugly adult sitcom, and every comicbook is about superheroes, yeah 99% of anime are adaptations of mangas, but that neabs you don't have to worry about the story being shit if the manga has good writing, and you get some really interesting stuff you'd never see elsewhere for better or worse, I'm not some ultra weeb who keeps up with all the new hot releases, even mainstream ones, but there is variety, tho it can be annoying to track down stuff that isn't in any legal streaming site or whatever, especially with older shows, and even moreso older manga, at least for English speaking countries, in Europe there's a pretty decent selection even for stuff from the 60's and shit.
I cam agree but the promised neverland anime and manga was totally different. The first season followed the anime pretty closely. Then by season 2 episode 3 or 4 they decided to cut out 3-4 arcs worth of content just to rush Norman back. Tpn could've been a 4 or 5 season anime. The Manga was pretty much finished when they started animation. Wasn't a huge fan of the ending but it was better than whatever the hell they thought they were doing. We need a "the promised neverland: brotherhood" to remedy that 2nd season. I still get pissed to this day
Game of Thrones is like the MySpace of television. Everybody was into it at one point (MySpace being the second half of the 2000s, Game of Thrones being the 2010s), then something affected both which made them die out in popularity (MySpace being Facebook, Game of Thrones being its infamous final season) and they got reduced to being nothing more than fads of their retrospective decade (MySpace being a 2000s fad, Game of Thrones being a 2010s fad).
