the entire second season of darker than black. they take away his powers at the end of the second episode.
why just...why.

Several times they start building up to an awesome monster fight, and then cut away to the aftermath of the fight.
Legend of Korra - Book 2 Spirits - The pure amount of stupid the characters have been reduced to is insulting on every level.
Everything happened the same regardless of how many characters made it into the third game.Sutter Cane said:
You couldn't make peace if Tali was dead
Everything else happened the same, sure the dialog was different but the events were unchanged.
If Wrex and Mordin are dead you still have to do the whole Tuchanka mission the same as if they both lived
Even if you made the choices that let you save Mordin you never see him again so it doesn't matter
The council setup has less than no effect
and the Rachnai thing just changes the number you get at the end of the mission not the actual mission and you never even see the repressions of it.
Ah, good ol' Mass Effect 3 I forgot how bad it was.
I'd have to go with the Game Overthinker series by MovieBob.
The series was going well enough, then he decided to add an "Antithinker" character, as his representation of the dudebrodude jocks that picked on him as a kid. And, when people criticized the inclusion of the character, he responded by adding Mr. Strawman (literally a floating bale of hay) to voice said criticism, to which he shot and set afire with his NES light gun. After that, I was done with the series. Fortunately, MovieBob's series on the Escapist have yet to jump the shark in such a manner.

Wait... It WAS?!Diddy_Mao said:
I wasn't able to finish that series because for some reason CN decided to not showcase the rest of the episodes... Are you telling me that I shouldn't wait until Toonami showcases the rest of the series because, in the long run, it would have seemed like as big of a "fuck you" to the fans as Teen Titans GO! is to the original animated Teen Titans series[footnote]Just to set up a compatible example, I guess...[/footnote]?
OT: I know someone mentioned This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, but I can't stress this enough... It's one of those series that you know how it's going to end WAY ahead of time and all you're doing is waiting until it does happen... This goes for both the anime and the manga... and I still own the manga because it reminds me that TokyoPop used to exist, basically... (A really low point in the Gainax anthology, in my opinion...)
I agree that killing a desperatly needed interesting "good guy" character was not the smartest of all things for GoT right now. I hear its because The Viper is not nearly as likable in the books or has less "screentime" there or somesuch.IllumInaTIma said:
The whole fight was ridicioulus bullshit from a realistic perspective, but then again nearly every fight in TV&Movies is so that didn't bother me. You are right about the particular situation though, the stupid grab wouldn't even bring a trained fighter to the ground, much less stun him long enough for a bulky, slow, heavily armored and wounded opponent to get up from lying flat on the ground and grab him.
OT: The ending of Mass Effect 3 was, for me, the equivalent of Bioware shouting "fuck you" to my face. It had so many plot holes that it was basically a net, went against everything established so far and was the conclusion to a main conflict that didn't actually exist.
Every patch wildly rebalanced the expansion limiting mechanics caused the paradox forums to erupt in rage. It's still a good game, but I'd wait and enjoy EU3 another year before picking it up.Austin Manning said:
To be fair, most of Stephen King's villains are like that. The Stand, It, Tommyknockers, they all feature threats that seem really imposing from far away. Then when the protagonists actually confront them, they fold faster than Superman on laundry day.Dalisclock said:
I'm unsure how intentional this in on the part of the writer. Possible King is just is not that great at writing that final climactic battle scene.
Personally I think the Crimson King is just a disjointed mess of a villain. "oh he is this evil undead wizard. Or wait, now he is this black orb of pure evil. No better yet, he might be some kind of spider-creature that spawned from the deadlights. No, back to the evil wizard thing, also he will just be throwing bombs off the tower"
The ENTIRE 7th season of Doctor Who. Never have I been so appalled by a tv show then when I watched that pathetic excuse of a season. I still think Russel T. Davies and Matt Smith should go and die a slow horrible death.
Here's one I remember from when I was a kid: The debut of Alien X in Ben Ten Alien Force. Up until that point, X was the only alien that had yet to be used, and he was hyped to hell in the week before the episode, if I remember correctly. What does he do for his big debut, you ask? He stops a dam from bursting, and then stands ramrod stiff for the rest of the episode. The excuse they gave is that because he's nigh omnipotent, his body is governed by three personalities (Ben being one of them), and he can't do anything until a majority vote is reached.
Although I like that in concept, it seems like a lazy solution to a lack of ideas for the tenth alien of the new series. I'd much rather have an alien that is demonstrably badass, yet limited, than someone who we are only told is omnipotent, but don't actually get to see much of. Maybe if Ben facing the temptation of using X again was a big plot point in future episodes it would have worked, but they really didn't do anything more with it (for the record, I only watched through Alien Force. I'm pretty sure there were more series after that, but I'd outgrown the show by then, and didn't watch them. Maybe they did more with X then, but I don't know).

Eh, it wasn't terrible, you can find the rest of it online if you know where to look. CN will be finishing it later, but internationally it's done. I went into it expecting crap, and was therefore pleasantly surprised. I mean, I can't put my finger on what there was to like, but I don't regret watching it. It says a lot that I consider the intro to easily be the best thing about the show. On the flip side, I can recall quite a lot that was off. They didn't use any of the big name bat villains (unless you count Killer Croc), Katana is his first partner because reasons, Alfred is much more active than in other portrayals, the animation felt a bit weak at times, but mostly, they could have just given us more Brave and the Bold. (Mere words cannot express how much I wish that was still running.) Of course, I managed to make it all the way through "The Zeta Project", so I probably have an inhuman tolerance for DC's mediocrity. If you've already watched the first 20, might as well finish the last 6.FPLOON said:
OT: Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated went off the deep end near the end there.
Why did they need to be outright fighting ancient eldritch horrors and Nazi robots? that is NOT what the series is about...
Jeez man, there's so many shit moments in so much of geek culture, whether tv, games, anime, books, or whatnot. Let's not even mention how certain productions end so atrociously, their very existence is one giant middle finger to the fans. Man, I'd be here all day with my list, and plenty of people have stated my thoughts already.
Most recently, there was a moment that MIGHT have made me pissed off in the new Dresden Files book, "Skin Games." However, I am too familiar with Jim Butcher's writing style at this point, and called the troll-worthy scene the moment it was set up.

What makes that movie worse is that it changes parts of the book that made the book live up to its nameWitty Name Here said:
Not only that, but the second season of Darker Than Black was just fuckin awful in the creepiest way possible.Nathan Josephs said:
He's not exactly lighthearted in season 1, but the fuck happens to the main character in season 2? He turns into a drunken slob that beats on his charge multiple times an episode. Abusive boyfriend bullshit beats on too, both emotionally and physically. Then there's that creepy as fuck line from the girl "You hit me constantly and yet I still love you!" Just...the fuck did I just watch? As a showcase of how to spot if you're in an abusive relationship it works. Tryin to sit through it though was painful. Also Mao's obsession with ankles was really really freaky.
On top of that, literally nothin makes sense in the story and the ending is just so wtf happened. So her brother resurrected her after she died, then made a completely new world for her, then sent her and that one kid off to live there. What. The. Fuck.

Well, for me, I've already seen the first 6(?) or so episodes of Beware The Batman... (Twice, I guess...) and I'm so curious that I'm willing to sit through the next 20 episodes... where I already know that the creators of the show were REALLY trying not to use any of the "popular" A and/or B-list villains in the first place anyway... Sure, I miss Brave and the Bold as well[footnote]Just the team-ups, alone, I miss greatly...[/footnote], but I also miss the animated Justice League series...[footnote]I don't know where I was going with that statement...[/footnote]ccggenius12 said:
Also, in terms of Mystery Incorproated, wasn't the whole point of the series just to prove that
everything took place on an alternate timeline, anyway?
The anime Gantz, the manga might have been better, but I wouldn't know. Slow paced, characters drop off like flies, the main character makes Shinji look like a hero for all of time, and motivations are "'cuz I'm a jerk!" and/or "I have no idea".
Also the movie Prometheus. If no one has taken that one scene and added Wile E. Coyote sound f/x and music to it, they should.

I heard one theory that Anno's first ending was how a person overcomes himself and becomes a better person while the EOE ending is a criticism of the otaku community and it's treatment of women and lack of ability to improve.Casual Shinji said:
End of Evangelion and the Audience/Author Membrane [http://blip.tv/foldablehuman/s3e2-end-of-evangelion-and-the-audience-author-membrane-6540094]
I am somewhat inclined to believe it given the hospital scene and the fact that Shinji is supposed to be a deconstruction of mecha pilots at the time. That and combined with the knowledge of Anno's mental issues at the time and we got something that could only come from a unqiue (not good, not bad) mind.
