TV show plot point you STILL dislike?

[princedeeblebleble 3,553]

I really dislike how they ended off things in What we do in the shadows, up until the last season it was so unhinged and brilliant and then they did.. that. 

They also really ruined the Nanny by gettint the two married, basically eliminating the main fun plot point of the show 

And don't get ne started with Game of thrones, idiots, all of them.

Death Note

Can't add spoilers on the phone but yeah, THAT thing never should have happened because it was the strong point of the show and everything was boring and clunky after that.

I was so surprised it happened like barely 2/3 through??? and the new things got needlessly complicated. And yet it's still one of the best animes made sue me

In Breaking Bad, Walt was a total moron for calling the nazis when he was about to get caught in the desert.

He seriously thought Jesse came to him alone?? Obviously hes gonna bring the cops, especially after Hank found out about him, theyd totally cooperate

Yeah snoke was totally wasted potential. And the only fresh thing they were offering.

2 of the 3 were great (one of them being in the top 3 of the whole franchise). 

Honestly, 7 is an okay film. But its okay because its copying good films, its entirely reductive though and it doesn't do enough to explain how we end up in that position after episode 6. The fact that most of the leg work for explaining the fall of the new Republic is done via secondary media is a major failing imo.

As for 8. I have a complicated relationship with it. Good ideas, poor execution in my personal opinion. And some plot points were just totally wasted or felt so rushed and under developed like Finn on Canto Bight/Finn taking on Captain Phasma.

To be fair it was because the show surpasses Martin’s novels and everything they did after The Battle of The Bastards was basically down to the show runners except for the key plot points he gave them being; Stannis burning his daughter for the Lord of Light, Bran becoming King, Jon being a Targaryen, Hodor’s fate being because of Bran’s time loop through Warging and Dany becoming the Mad Queen.

They had to do everything else themselves, I can’t wait for him to finally finish the last 2 books to find out his intended plot points.

Although we do know that Melisandre’s misinterpretation of the prophecy was going to be a big plot point. So was Cersei’s downfall since the prophecy was that one of her Brothers would choke her to death. Many assume it was Tyrion but I still think it will be Jaime in the books.

I truly think they had access to the books via GRRM for the final season. Because I'm fully committed to the "GRRM has the finished books ready to go but is blocking them being published before his death as he hates the fans and doesnt want to talk to them" conspiracy lol

While I agree he feels the pressure from people to bring everything together, I think this conspiracy falls apart when you consider things like his characterisation of some people is entirely different so their end points won’t be the same. In the books for example Cersei isn’t tactful in fact she’s clumsy, paranoid and not actually that good at politics so it’s unlikely she’d do things like blow up the Sept of Baelor or even become Queen. Also the fate of people like Sansa is more open because a lot of the things that happen to her in the last 4 seasons is a creation do the show and not the books, like it seems unlikely she’ll end up as Queen in The North. 
 

Plus there’s entire characters missing from the show that are in the book, for example Aegon in the book isn’t Jon it’s a totally different character who claims to be a Targaryen and presents a challenge for Daenerys when she inevitably arrives. And a big one; The Night King is entirely a creation of the show and not in the books plus Martin has said he will NOT be in the books either. Then there’s people like Lady Stoneheart (a resurrected Catelyn Stark) who arent in the show at all and are a big part of the story. Plus him only having those final destinations I mentioned in the other post planned and nothing else shows he hasn’t finished, plus he’s notoriously a gardener when it comes to his work and lets his writing inform the plot points not the other way around. Hence the rewrites. 

That added to the fact he says he’s rewrote everything multiple times over, has written other material and his publisher apparently requires access to his notes and drafts every year, I think it’s a mostly debunked theory. 

I think we’ll get The Winds of Winter but he’s confirmed he hasn’t even so much as started on the last book whatsoever  so I think we’ll never get it, because he has stated he doesn’t want anyone to finish it when he dies for him, because he said that’s the downfall of the LOTR books — that Tolkien died and his worked had to be finished for him.

Up until they start working together, it's perfect and my favorite show of all time, after that the quality decreases and the last 1/3 is just...

Better be careful with spoilers, everyone, especially with really recent shows. I've really been happy with how every show I've liked has gone although there's 2 that I wish could be better:

8 Simple Rules - When Kerry lost her virginity. It was just so out of left field and always made me feel icky. Admittedly, that partly came from jealousy as I wished it was something that would feature in my own life but it feels even weirder as an adult because she was 17 and it's generally considered on US shows for that not to happen until the characters are 18. I know the idea was to show that teens have sex, even the geeky "good" ones and to be a contrast to Bridget, who is assumed to be easy because of how she looks. But it still ultimately seems like the creators just wanted something shocking to happen and considering we don't even see the guy or any lead up to it, it just seemed like a last minute idea that wasn't planned.

The Golden Girls - The finale was good but was one of the most rushed finales in TV history. Without giving too much away, it just seems like the creators wanted a certain ending and didn't care how many new elements they had to add or much they had to shoehorn it into a double episode. And that not every character got the same treatment. Btw, shoutout to spin-off The Golden Palace - don't know know why so many fans act like it doesn't exist, these episodes are brilliant! 

It wasn't actually rushed though, Bea Arthur wanted to leave the show for a few years but was convinced to keep going. At the end of season 6, she made the decision season 7 would be her last one, so going into season 7, they all knew it was their final season. It's also why they kind of relished in certain things during season 7 and it's why the live audience was so sentimental and gave bigger cheers and laughs at certain jokes, gags and other things. 

[RAMROD 116,964]

Okay this will be heavy spoiler, but the show already 7 years since it ended, so if you still didn't watch it yet, you'll likely never watch it anyway:

 

That time when Daenerys suddenly flip into mad woman and burn the whole city without the journey to get to that point.

Or when Arya, instead of Jon Snow, out of nowhere, like literally no build up at all, is the one that ended The Night King, when she have no history or connection at all with him. 
 

Also how Bran becomes King just feels unearned cos again, no build up.

that last season really was 💩
 

-10/10 plot point. 

[EART HL I NG 1,188]

In The Walking Dead where once the prison arc is wrapped up they’re separated and spend all of season 4 walking to Terminus with the pay off being two episodes of absolutely nothing but forced tension that felt like a waste of time.

Although I agree about Arya killing The Night King. Dany’s turn was earned and you could see it from a mile away because she had her enemies starved, suffocated, burned and spent her entire journey telling people she was destined to rule with fire and blood, and she even says early on that anybody who is against her suffers and dies.

Even just in the show context it was obvious early on. And her psyche deteriorated all throughout season 7 and 8 too because she became paranoid and desperate and saw all her closest companions die one by one who’d supported her to get to Westeros.

Bran I also agree in show terms makes no sense but also it reflects Martin’s work and how he likes to subvert expectation (plus he told the show runners about Dany’s turn and Bran becoming king we’re always his final end points in the books, years beforehand).
