RWBY didn't ever go up a hill to begin with. It was sitting at the base of a hill and it kept saying it was definitely 100% for sure going to go up that hill at some point we promise for real. Don't worry guys we are definitely going up that hill any second now, it's comin', and it's gonna be really great when it does. We're gonna go up it, and it's gonna be great. The greatest hill climb you've ever seen, it's on the way. It's seriously gonna happen real soon.

And then they forgot that 'having a plot' and 'characterization' and 'cohesive worldbuilding' are really integral parts of going up a hill, so it just kinda kept sitting at the bottom of it and pretending like it was about to start climbing for like 5 seasons.

I beat that metaphor to death, but my point is RWBY has always had the pieces of an amazing show just sitting around, but never bothered actually putting any of them together.

The entirety of Netlfix right now, they have such cool ideas for shows but a lot of them nowadays are dragged to fit a 10-15 hours season that could just be a movie.

THIS!!! I watched it as episodes came out ( season one) and it might be just nostalgia but i think season one was way better that newer seasons

Saw it yesterday, the moment they show the owl my heart shrunk 3 sizes and imploded into a black hole of nerd rage.

who could forget the legendary underworld series ,it could have been so cool and epic and we got ... something

They killed of Michael and made no good use of Eve. Selene... came back 5 minutes after being presumed dead. That's just... naaaaaah.

The live-action avatar the last airbender movie... I was so excited to see this! It didn't took long to get borring and stiff as hell...

Well I dunno if it was a good idea or not but out of curiosity I once stumbled upon Dragon Ball evolution... :joy:

Summary

I'll put this in spoilers for people who want to get into dragon ball but the thing that ticked me off the most was how the film made Goku's Oozaru form the henchman of Piccolo lmao

if you watch the first two underworld movies, and pretend the rest don't exist its a great series. =)

This was ever present issue with american tv. Great first season, then it keeps getting renewed and spirals down into a sad abrupt ending.

Going way back, heroes was so awesome, and then so so bad...

recently I was super into Archive 81 on netflix. But the big dramatic ending sucked. If you make a show focusing on a DEMON, That demon damn well better be important in the end! Or scary, or something... not just sad and lonely. gah.

House on haunted hill also had a terrible ending. (i didnt read the book)

true. prolly cause it was kind of a stand alone.

Every once in a while, my love of Americana, episodic horror, and messy interpersonal relationships makes me think I should watch Supernatural.

Unfortunately, then I am faced with everything else about Supernatural.

Kamen Rider Saber had a lot of potential, but it became a meandering mess that I only watched to meme about it, because holy shit, that show is mememeable. I mean, there is one character who had different reaction faces (Yes plural) on each episode. And this absolute treat to the eyes.

Top tier.

Well, I have two series that started incredible with their ideas but eventually they... they took a train, it set on fire, they fell down a cliff... and it exploded and then an alien shoot a laser at them.

Supernatural, first 5 seasons, amazing premise, eventually each season had incredible and interesting ideas in concept but the execution was poor.

Same thing with Wonder Egg Priority, it was so well done at the beginning, the art as well was -cheff's kiss- but the latest episodes and it's finale... ugh.

Well, Riverdale started ok-eish and went sideways, did a flip mid air and God knows what would have happened if it didn't got cancelled.

Yuri on Ice, as other people have mentioned, I also considered it a poorly executed idea... it was just grabbing your most boring and vanilla takes from both sport and BL anime and done, nothing thrilling or that could be called so amazingly executed.

There were also people who mentioned Vampire Knight and I'll be honest, I totally agree with that take and this is my favorite video for anyone that hasn't seen that show and doesn't want to risk their lives and braincells in the process1

And I'm going to be honest here, anything from CW right now is pure good ideas and horrible execution, Gotham Knights feels like Descendants from Disney but with a Batman mask made with a 3D printer... and Winchesters... Feels like Riverdale and Vampire Diaries. I don't know how they are going to execute those two but again, it's CW and after Supergirl, The Flash, Riverdale, Charmed, Supernatural and several more, I have no hopes

As somebody who watched all the seasons.

I envy your wisdom.
