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.
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.
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!
@@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!
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?
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.
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.”
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
Off the top of my head, Alf ended with the title character getting captured by the military and I think it was implied they killed him. The writers were hoping that it could lead into an exciting start for the next season and that the network would give them one more season, but they declined
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.
"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.
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.
@@thedrewdog yea I didn't understand why the bipolar guy got killed off so early. They had him for one season when in reality they could of used him in season 4 to create more intensity. I agree Ozark was nowhere near Breaking bads level I still think breaking bad was the greatest shows of all time like the moment when Hank died I cried which is a big deal season 5 made me cry multiple times and that's insane cause nothing on TV makes a grown man like me cry but, breaking bad just hit me deep ajd its rare to see me cry. Ozark on the other hand the part where Ruth died i didn't feel sad at all instead I just laughed how funny the slow motion effect was Ruth was shot. I just didn't care for her. Everything Ozarks final season looked and felt like everything rushed in too fast and the family car wreck scene gave zero purpose like why show the car crash scene backflash scene moment so many times yet the whole family survived the crash anyway so why shows it created no purpose when showing it off in the trailer? I still think one Ozark family member should of died and they didn't do it the only thing Ozark did better than breaking bad was that Ozark was slightly more realistic in a lot of ways thats about it. Some of the things breaking bad did were kind of silly but, still a fantastic show.
A big reason I never started watching game of thrones in the last few years has been how poorly I heard the ending was handled. It was hard to justify getting invested in and watching that much content only to be disappointed and upset at the result.
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.
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...
Now that I think about it, How I Met Your Mother narration done by "present day Ted" sounds somewhat like how a person reminisces stories about or with a person who's passed. Not quite like a eulogy, but like talking to a person casually about a deceased person where they go off on tangents and tell funny stories.
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.
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 irony that they ruined their career rushing to get another gig, losing thr gig in the process, whereas if they had just taken the necessary time to finish the show, not only would they have kept their new jobs but they would have also made a better show. How ironic.
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?
Totally agree. The show was always about the characters. Although I think a lot of people are starting to come around to it recently and have actually began to appreciate it more.
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 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾‼
was listening in the background and didnt realize the thunder was from the vid the first time, took my headphones off and tried to figure out if it was storming
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.
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.
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
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.
HIMYM is a classic example of a show that went one season too long, of which there are many. My gripe with the last season is it deviated hard from the 'real time' nature of the show in favor of entirely happening over the course of a wedding weekend. It's still a great quotable show throughout and I'd highly recommend it. *Spoilers below* The ending wasn't actually that bad, and there were some nuggets building up to the end that gave you a reason to assume that the kids' mother (Tracy) had passed. Perhaps the strongest one intended to be more in your face was an episode near the end of season 8 where Ted is recalling a night when everyone else was busy and he was 'all alone', and he narrated to his kids that if he could relive that night he'd instead go right to where Tracy lived. He'd tell her 'we'll meet in 45 days, but I'm here today because I really want those 45 days' as he's tearing/choking up. In the moment it's easily dismissed as Ted having gone through so many relationships that if he knew any better he'd just get what time he could with his future wife, but that scene hits a lot harder than that as though the 45 days are especially precious to him. Fans have dug up a lot of obscure references the last couple seasons that I'm sure aren't deliberate, but that scene generated the speculation that the mother had passed on HIMYM forums at the time.
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?
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
In the anime world, Soul Eater's "friendship punch" ending is literally a meme for how stupid it is and really brought down what was otherwise a really good and potentially even great anime had they stuck the landing. The majority of the show is good but gets shit on a lot because of the ending. I really want some studio to give Soul Eater the FMAB treatment and make a proper adaptation of the manga which has now been completed for years.
Not unusual when the anime catches up to the manga. It takes 2-3 weeks worth of manga to make 1 week worth of anime. And Soul Eater was a monthly manga, so it takes even more manga weeks.
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.
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
Usagi Drop, specifically the manga. Just watch the anime and tell yourself it's the real ending. If you read the manga stop when you hit the time skip and just be happy with what you have so far. I genuinely would prefer an unfinished manga over what we got. I have always resisted the urge of believing a bad ending ruins the entire property. In this case, it legitimately 100% does. I actually wish I could forget the ending.
Also to mention, in the promised neverland in the start of the second season they go to a base where they find a room that’s empty and they keep going. But in the manga in that “empty” room there is a character who makes them go on a whole side quest which takes up like 2 books where they find a way to kill the demons.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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'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
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

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.
My theory is that grr Martin wanted to keep specific plot points saved for his books because he can’t have his book endings spoiled or people won’t read it. So he made sure the tv show did not do specific things w the endings which are probably the best endings, and the tv writers were left with a bunch of things they can’t do and had to somehow wrap everything up. I think they will get a lot of the cast to make a short series or movie once the last book comes out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 🙂
@@lmriana 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
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.
'How I Met Your Mother' could only end the way it did, it could have been carried out better. Should have ended with the woman who was the mother being the mom of one child and Robin being the other. That would explain why it started where it did and why it ended when it did.
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

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.
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.
So many early 2000s Cantonese drama series had terrible/unsatisfying endings. The most egregious one I can recall watching with my family during my childhood was Square Pegs. Three of the main characters were in a love triangle and in the end none of them ended up together. What the shit.
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.
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.

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.”
redditor moment:
OMG REDDIT OMG!!!!!

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.

Everything Ozarks final season looked and felt like everything rushed in too fast and the family car wreck scene gave zero purpose like why show the car crash scene backflash scene moment so many times yet the whole family survived the crash anyway so why shows it created no purpose when showing it off in the trailer? I still think one Ozark family member should of died and they didn't do it the only thing Ozark did better than breaking bad was that Ozark was slightly more realistic in a lot of ways thats about it. Some of the things breaking bad did were kind of silly but, still a fantastic show.
A big reason I never started watching game of thrones in the last few years has been how poorly I heard the ending was handled. It was hard to justify getting invested in and watching that much content only to be disappointed and upset at the result.
u should bro
It's still worth it. It changed the way I viewed TV. The first 5 seasons showed what TV could be.
It’s still a 100% must watch. After first few episodes you won’t even care about the ending because of how good it is
Watch it up until the end of Season 6
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.
"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.
a terribly sad attempt at a failed redemption arc. glad d&d lost their careers more than deserved after that shit
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.
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...
Charlie: “I am a human with a lot of emotions.”

Now that I think about it, How I Met Your Mother narration done by "present day Ted" sounds somewhat like how a person reminisces stories about or with a person who's passed. Not quite like a eulogy, but like talking to a person casually about a deceased person where they go off on tangents and tell funny stories.
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.
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 irony that they ruined their career rushing to get another gig, losing thr gig in the process, whereas if they had just taken the necessary time to finish the show, not only would they have kept their new jobs but they would have also made a better show. How ironic.

I didn't mind Season 2. It's was a bad dream but I'm glad it just stayed at that, a bad dream that I barely remember.
Season 1 is a masterpiece.
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?
Can't wait for the sequel to this video when Attack On Titan's ending gets adapted
Well... the anime adaptation of AoT's ending ended up being pretty damn good, Charlie loved it too.
LOST has got to be the most underrated, misunderstood finale ever. Such a brilliant show that deserves MUCH more respect imo.
Totally agree. The show was always about the characters. Although I think a lot of people are starting to come around to it recently and have actually began to appreciate it more.
@@jr3624naw lost ending was definitely bad
Agreed! Most of the people that say it ended bad don’t even understand the ending. “Oh they were all dead, right?”
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.

I’ve never been as angry at a shows ending as I was at Dexter. I was literally screaming at my television.
Then they came back and had an even worse ending 😂😂
was listening in the background and didnt realize the thunder was from the vid the first time, took my headphones off and tried to figure out if it was storming
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
I watched all the old Charlie videos about s8 then came back to this haha. The rage is still there 3 years on
The decline of the walking dead was also a massive waste of a blockbuster IP
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 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"
I can garuntee you I’m the future of TH-cam come and see for yourself🤠
Like the US tv show Dallas
Los Serrano died with Lucia
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.
That’s sounds, “So… familiar somehow”
Actually good show, good thing I ignored the movie
HIMYM is a classic example of a show that went one season too long, of which there are many. My gripe with the last season is it deviated hard from the 'real time' nature of the show in favor of entirely happening over the course of a wedding weekend. It's still a great quotable show throughout and I'd highly recommend it.
*Spoilers below*
The ending wasn't actually that bad, and there were some nuggets building up to the end that gave you a reason to assume that the kids' mother (Tracy) had passed. Perhaps the strongest one intended to be more in your face was an episode near the end of season 8 where Ted is recalling a night when everyone else was busy and he was 'all alone', and he narrated to his kids that if he could relive that night he'd instead go right to where Tracy lived. He'd tell her 'we'll meet in 45 days, but I'm here today because I really want those 45 days' as he's tearing/choking up.
In the moment it's easily dismissed as Ted having gone through so many relationships that if he knew any better he'd just get what time he could with his future wife, but that scene hits a lot harder than that as though the 45 days are especially precious to him.
Fans have dug up a lot of obscure references the last couple seasons that I'm sure aren't deliberate, but that scene generated the speculation that the mother had passed on HIMYM forums at the time.
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.
100% But not only a show I completely forgot about, but when reminded of it, embarrassed for ever having watched it.
I went years without a single spoil only to spend weeks of my life totally wasted
The ending doesn't ruin the show as a whole
@@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?
I’m surprised he didn’t mention dexter, a show that didn’t have just one terrible ending, but 2 terrible endings
I still can’t believe they managed to have two awful endings
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
@@GasLightAlwaysOn that doesn't sound like something Dexter would do. He never wanted that for his son
@@anthonyfernandez82 he never wanted it but he believed he saw himself in him. its all up for interpretation
In the anime world, Soul Eater's "friendship punch" ending is literally a meme for how stupid it is and really brought down what was otherwise a really good and potentially even great anime had they stuck the landing. The majority of the show is good but gets shit on a lot because of the ending. I really want some studio to give Soul Eater the FMAB treatment and make a proper adaptation of the manga which has now been completed for years.
Not unusual when the anime catches up to the manga.
It takes 2-3 weeks worth of manga to make 1 week worth of anime. And Soul Eater was a monthly manga, so it takes even more manga weeks.
I'm apperently the only person in the world that never had a problem with the ending
When I remember a bad ending, I just feel disappointed and makes me wonder how much it would been better if they ended it in a different way.
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.
U described Euphoria lol
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
Usagi Drop, specifically the manga. Just watch the anime and tell yourself it's the real ending. If you read the manga stop when you hit the time skip and just be happy with what you have so far. I genuinely would prefer an unfinished manga over what we got.
I have always resisted the urge of believing a bad ending ruins the entire property. In this case, it legitimately 100% does. I actually wish I could forget the ending.
Also to mention, in the promised neverland in the start of the second season they go to a base where they find a room that’s empty and they keep going. But in the manga in that “empty” room there is a character who makes them go on a whole side quest which takes up like 2 books where they find a way to kill the demons.
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.
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.
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
That’s what I hope someday is that the do a soft reboot and pretend season 8 never existed and continue where it was before
@@Monke_073 they better do it really quick because all of the actors are aging
I don't think ever in the history of television has a show went back to re-do the show.
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.
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.
LOST’s ending has to stop being hated on bruh it’s genuinely perfect
It doesn't deserve the hate, there are way worse endings
says anger makes the most normal conversation ever
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.

@@cinema_yo probably, wouldn't know though because I haven't watched it, read most of the books though and those were good reads
The Flash went from steady decline in writing to falling right off a cliff.
Scorpion. The show ends on a cliffhanger where they all hate each other.
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.
100% agreed. I'm still mad to this day at how they threw the whole thing out and did this for the shock value of "you'll never guess"
Agreed, I don't even know how that justifies as an ending lol it was so random imo
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???
Then they end up getting married, lol. Tf even
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
Thats what happens when you try and rush something so precious.

They didn’t get the deal ripped away from them lol. They walked away from it for a 200 million dollar deal w Netflix
BRUH, star wars is shit right now either way. All the new stuff is fucking garbage except a few games and the mandalorian lmao.
But it would’ve been amazing
I'm positive if GRRM wrote his next book, the majority of actors would come back and film the adaptation
The ending to dexter is truly a crime
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!
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
My theory is that grr Martin wanted to keep specific plot points saved for his books because he can’t have his book endings spoiled or people won’t read it. So he made sure the tv show did not do specific things w the endings which are probably the best endings, and the tv writers were left with a bunch of things they can’t do and had to somehow wrap everything up. I think they will get a lot of the cast to make a short series or movie once the last book comes out.
Idk I was ready for it to finally end and idk the only argument I had was there was basically no character development for the ice king
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.
Charlie has awakened our suppressed inner demons
Not reading allat 🤣
Imagine watching How I met your mother. Imagine having any expectations for How I met your mother.
They thought they could get away with destroying the show for us.
ITS SAD THAT GOT ENDED LIKE THAT
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.
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
penthouse the kdrama had the ABSOLUTELY MOST TRAGIC FINAL SEASON
One of my favourite endings to an anime is Assassination Classroom. Cried my eyes out and haven't rewatched it since, lol
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.
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”
Does anyone else think that tca is some kind of a bot?
@@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.
When Charlie sees the end of the sopranos he’s gonna be livid
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
the fact it was cancelled is a crying shame.
@@kamo7293 The fact it was cancelled and have Teen Titans Go make a mockery of it should be considered a crime.
Not to mention the other subplot to that episode that literally went nowhere.
@@SpinoRexy733 that too
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
@@lmriana 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
“I’m a human being with a lot of emotions.”😐
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Dexter. He just quits everything and becomes a lumberjack
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.
And throw barney and Robins marriage under the bus in the last 30 mins
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
@@sm0ky12 yes. The while season was dedicated to their wedding just for it to end so abruptly
Facts mad annoying nbs
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.
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.
fnaf 🚶🚶
Himyms last season also completely revolved around robins wedding with Barney just for them to break up the next episode
'How I Met Your Mother' could only end the way it did, it could have been carried out better. Should have ended with the woman who was the mother being the mom of one child and Robin being the other. That would explain why it started where it did and why it ended when it did.
that would be weird and still suck imo
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.
Yes. The fanfiction season.
Exactly. The season 8 finale is the true series finale.
Nope. No it didn't, it ended where it did. There is no extra season of Scrubs in Ba Sing Se.
i finished watching scrubs this week and season 8 was weak. phoned in. the finale was good enough that it wipes the stink off of season 8.
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
It's still sad how season 8 really damaged the reputation that GOT build over the years, and we didn't see the ending we deserve.

Promised neverland season 2 isnt even available anymore on most streaming apps
The final season of Game of Thrones still hurts to this day
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…
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.
You failed to mention the best part: Chuck Lorre ALSO gets crushed by an identical piano.
So many early 2000s Cantonese drama series had terrible/unsatisfying endings. The most egregious one I can recall watching with my family during my childhood was Square Pegs. Three of the main characters were in a love triangle and in the end none of them ended up together. What the shit.
Original Fullmetal Alchemist.
When you die, you go to 1940's London apparently.
0:30 Hah! That thunderstorm going in the background was definitely perfect timing! 😁
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.
its actually kinda depressing watching the season 1 ending because it looks so promising (pun not intended) and then i remember season 2 exists
Yeh, was just about to write
The manga's ending is fairly decisive, but I think most of us manga readers can agree that it was certainly better than what S2 did
