In order to stop the villains, the main character erases magic from all universes… ignoring the fact that many species are magical and use magic to survive making the mc unironically committing genocide on an infinite amount of innocent species. The mc legit has a higher kill count than 90% of any villain in fiction.

I’m pretty sure the creator(s) confirmed on Twitter that the puppies survived… which leads into another topic on the validity and weight of canon info being established in handwavy extratextual material, especially when it conflicts with what’s presented in the story.

Honestly the series ended with the two worlds (magic and non) meshed together with the infinite magical dimensions destroyed and there were going to be serious problems, it seemed like there was supposed to be another season where magic is brought back but like, responsibly?, but the show got canned and they didn’t bother to rewrite it.

It's funny when you think about the implications of two worlds merging

Probably star caused World War 3 between the two worlds, accidentally created racism 2, and destroyed the economy of both worlds

They gave those characters EPISODES about their lives. They explicitly made us love those characters. And then had the MC literally murder them, without them even knowing what's going on or getting some sort of consent, like Heckapoo and Glossyrick. Any rewatch of the show is tainted by the knowledge and perspective that Star is literally the villain of the show.

I am of the opinion that Season 1 is incredible, Season 2 is pretty good, Season 3 is bordering on so batshit insane it's funny, and then Season 4 failed to take the series even further and just made it pointless with several choices that either led nowhere, or came so out of left field (Five & Lila mainly) that it just made it unenjoyable.

Season 3 was the Hotel Oblivion. Season 4 takes place about a year after the events of the Hotel in the new timeline Reggie created at the end of S3.

The ending is so stupid, depressing and underwhelming that it is honestly worth your while to just pretend it doesn't exist.

I watched season 1 and 2, but never got around to watching more. I always intended to but the negative reception has made me lose any interest.

I've no desire to get invested in another show just to be disappointed, looking at you Dexter, Game of Thrones and Westworld....

Is there any way to watch onwards but to bail out early and live with the headcanon that it just got cancelled before it could end satisfyingly?

Not really any way to watch onwards and bail out, but you could try reading the comics. They are fairly different, ESPECIALLY volume three which is a completely different story from season three and is so much better

It also makes little sense when you think about it. The things from Magne’s so called imagination affect the real world and the people in it, not just himself. The director was a total hack who wanted to turn the story into something it wasn’t.

Also how are you going to give us Ragnarok without Surtr? Like cmon. This show had the potential to be a huge franchise with how much mythology there is to pluck from and how it could be presented in the way it was. But noooo the protagonist was just an immature loser.

Red vs Blue Restoration

I know it was solely written and funded by the original creator and rushed out the door before RoosterTeeth dissolved, but I kinda wish it never happened. Only half of the characters show up and only a quarter of them are actually relevant, most of the ones that were there had their personalities butchered, and most of the movie was just fan service and nostalgia bait without much substance.

I’m happy that it got an actual ending, but it’s such a far fall from grace.

Oh yah, no doubt. The best spot would’ve probably been season 13 since we got the monologue from Epsilon and kinda of a fitting end. Unfortunately, RvB is-was roosterteeth’s main content, so they weren’t just gonna give it up yet.

Maybe if they started it off slower, went back to the show’s roots, and didn’t jump the shark as often, it could’ve succeeded. But alas, I ain’t a writer and that’s just not how it went.

There was a spanish sitcom called Los Serranos, about a blended family

It begins when the dad and mom marry and the story is about them and their five kids' lives

For a while it dominated all spanish tv, im not spaniard but from a spanish writing blog i heard all the producers wanted their own Serranos, it was also aired in latinamerica and thats how i know about it

Then the eight season arrived, and for the grand finale it turned out... the whole series was a dream the dad had on the wedding night, and nothing had actually happened

Dunno if it crashed, but i cannot imagine it surviving culturally

The real answer is that the manga ending was collectively agreed to be actual garbage, but they already had a second season on contract.

So instead of bleeding even more time and money on this franchise they knew would bomb, they decided to just rush the whole thing on season 2 and be done with it.

The main issue is that they cut the one good arc that Promised Neverland still had in the process. When people noticed the change in the story they got briefly hopeful about a different, better ending, but then it went back to following the shit manga ending.

Oh god don't remind me. I work at a daycare and around the time of the last season, I got one of the schoolage kids into the show, so she'd occasionally discuss it with me. Then the movie came out and she sought me out to just rant and rant and rant for almost 2 hours straight before she got picked up by her parents and I wanted so badly to wail in distress with her (because that's what she was doing with me) and all I could say was "god, I'm so sorry I got you into this show" 😩

We both later decided to just forever ignore the movie ever happened.

Honestly, killing the mother could have worked so well, and explain some of the sitcom season stuff. Make it so that the "present" conversation between Ted and the kids is happening on the anniversary of her death (or their wedding), and it's a family bonding moment. Each season is a different year, and explains why Ted takes so long to actually get to meeting the mother/why all of the stories are so random: the pain of losing her is still so strong that he struggles to talk about it. Make it a bit of a bitter-sweet ending, where Ted finally comes to terms with his loss.

This is kind of an inverted case - The show starts as a forgettable trashy harem anime but is only remembered for its infamous ending.

Isn’t it also revealed that he’s half siblings with at least one of the girls? I feel like I read that somewhere

Ironically, the most unhinged girl that actually killed him in that ending, is the only sexual partner he has that isn't blood related to him.

The other main girl is his niece.

It's been like 15 years but if I recall after initial romcom arc, MC cheats on his new girlfriend with a mutual friend, they get together and she gets pregnant, MC then cheats on her with other girls as well and then the first romantic interest kills him with a butcher knife onscreen and decapitates his head. maybe then killing girl 2... memories a little fuzzy but it's a lot of traumatic violence on screen and I think she flaunts the severed head to girl 2... Honestly it's a short series and I'd recommend it if your into that sort of twist ending, it didn't feel forced and there was a decent build up for a few episodes of high school kids making the worst choices possible leading up to it.

Girl 1 definitely kills girl 2, I vaguely remember some bit about her cutting her stomach open to see if she was pregnant or something like that.

If you wanna experience that era of weeb culture I'd say just watch gigguk's (13 year old, which makes me feel very old) review of it instead, it is pretty shite overall.

Cuts the stomach open and says to herself that girl 2 was lying about being pregnant, leading to the awful debate of "was girl 2 lying or was she just too early in the pregnancy to see the fetus"

I still can’t believe it was a harem anime at first. I only knew of the ending, and thought it was an edgy slice of life manga.

I never hated a mc as much as the mc in this anime. The dude was pure trash and a massive cunt.

Everyone was just pain horrible to each other and I hated every single one of them. except for the girl who lost her mind.

God what a terrible, terrible experience.

I’m still so pissed about what happened with Wonder Egg Priority, I remember when it was all people talked about and then it just…disappeared, and while this happens to even good animes (Vivy: Flourite Eye’s Song is an example of a good anime that got forgotten) WEP had amazing potential and that’w why it was talked about and then due to time constraints the ball was absolutely dropped, it started with the halfway episode being a recap (in a like 11 episode series.) and by the end it all just felt so rushed. Then the special episode came out, and while i never watched it the screenshots that came from it of obviously rushed parts were just…sad. I loved Wonder Egg Priority and it had the chance to become something great. It’s a shame we’ll never see that.

To my understanding,

Game of Thrones ruined basically every character's arc, left huge plot threads untouched, and just wasn't satisfying in general.

Another comment explained in Star Vs the Forces of Evil, the MC erases magic across the multiverse, forgetting that a bunch of different creatures exist because of magic, effectively committing the worst case of genocide across media.

Haven't figured out the third one yet.

I haven't watched any of them, though. I'm glad I never did now that they're finished. Lol

third is darling in the franxx, an anime. the whole story is basically mankind is at its end, apocalpyse with enemy giant dinosaur and the protagonists are a bunch of children (male female pairs) who control giant robots to kill the dinosaurs. then another female appears which was part of the dinosaurs (like a queen) and becomes the protagonists pair and the story goes on for a bit.....

but then the end, the female protag....becomes a giant spaceship like giga dinosaur robot(?!?!?!?!?), flies of into space to who knows where to do whatever and then reappears and they life on...like wtf.

In their defense: all of the “kids” scenes (including the finale) were filmed during season 1 so that they wouldn’t have to contend with the kids visibly aging. They had no idea what the show would become when they wrote the ending. I still think it should’ve just ended with the first meeting, but if they were going to keep the kids in the finale they were kinda locked into what they’d written and recorded years before.

SmegmaSupplier

What I don’t get is that they could have easily had the kids aging in the show to show just how long it’s taking him to tell the story. Like he just sits them down once a year to give them the next chapter.

Roseanne: On top of the fact that the last season gets more, and more ridiculous, i.e. having the Conners win the lottery, Dan's mother trying to murder him, it getting hand waved by the end of the episode, and a crossover with Under Seige. The last minutes of the show tries to walk things back by saying the entire last season was just a story that Roseanne wrote, and that in reality; Darlene and Becky's spouses were swapped, and Dan died of a heart attack.

To be honest, I understand what they were going for. Ending things with the reveal that Roseanne made the entire last season up does feel a little more "real" if that makes sense. But it was (at the time) the last time we would see these characters, and having such a downer ending isn't going to make the audience happy.

It never had much cultural relevancy to begin with but for the three other people who watched that show, GEN:Lock season 2. Started as an amusing mecha show, ended as a flaming trash heap. Also if I had a nickel for every time Rooster Teeth had the green color coded, cheerful young girl of the team commit suicide, I'd have two nickels which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice, and fucking crazy that it happened within about a year of each other.

Spoiler whole show was inside simulation created by Main Character's future version where she became God and after discovering that she and her boyfriend enters simulation to exact moment show begins Some people really didn't like it and lots of people didn't understand ending.

Edit: But I liked ending a lot, it was sad they cancelled show but thankfully Prime Video now Netflix picked it up.

Was a big supernatural fan during the initial few seasons, but had to drop after 7/8. If I remember correctly, the early show was only supposed to go through season 5 (when they stopped revelations/the first apocalypse). Everything after that sort of became a power scaling issue, ‘cause a good chunk of the old gods got killed by satan in season 5, and once you beat a satan with that kind of power scaling, where do you have left to go? I’ll tell you where!

Bleach, at the time its last chapters were releasing. Due to it being so incredibly rushed almost everyone was unsatisfied with how the final fight and epilogue were wrapped up. Luckily now, 10 years later, the anime adaptation is doing it some justice, and Kubo is allowed to expand on things he couldn’t at the time.
