I guess a decade of slop media where nothing is sacred and everything must be exploited has hardened my heart from caring about anything anymore. A younger me cared about why the Star Wars sequels are bad or that they cancelled Firefly too quickly or that Community fired Dan Harmon. But all these properties are just tools of corpo oppression at this point. Art doesn't have the same impact if they are just trying to squeeze every last dollar out of them.

I don't think many people will care about this series but Phantasy Star Online 2. I absolutely loved the first ones on Dreamcast, GameCube, Blue Burst on PC. It was my first foray into mmorpgs and shaped my teenage years. I was so excited that they were making a sequel and, of course, Sega fucked it all up as they always do.

I hate the way they made it all animu bullshit aesthetics and weird concepts like fighting tanks in modern day Tokyo or dinosaurs in the past. And so many micro transactions and weird credits to buy. Why couldn't they just keep expanding the story on Ragol?

The abdication of the 4th estate in guarding the public interests and freedoms people fought and died for.

Disney ruined the Star Wars sequels. All the money, all the talent, so much potential, and they pushed out those turds.

I loved watching the hobbit in the cinema, but i was a kid and I don't think I will ever sit down to watch it all again.

The first one felt okay to have as one long film, i.e natural, but it's weird that it would end with the eagle rescue after Goblin town.

If i think about it off the top of my head, some scenes they stretched out in film 1 ("An Unexpected Journey") were:

• The "prelude" scenes of E r e b o r, which were very beautiful and cinematic, but most movies would convey in one or two scenes.
• confrontations such as with the trolls and the goblins
• CGI sequences like Radagast leading the wargs away from the dwarves

I've not thought about it before but it really is a shame because as soon as a shorter version comes along, people will prioritise that film instead.

They gave the star trek movie reboots to a director that didn't like or watch star trek.

LotR should have been 6 movies and The Hobbit should have been 1

Every time a company does a tax write off and trashes the film. If they're canning it, it's ours. It's public domain. Take it as a loss, we subsidize it, then it's ours. Coyote vs Acme is the unicorn that got released. It should never have been thrown away.

Fox screwing Firefly with that stupid broadcast schedule (although it was cancelled before Joss could make it weird)

Star Wars: A LOT of things, but I'll focus on Episode 9 being absolute dog shit

Game of Thrones, I don't think I need to expand on it

Probably the most unforgivable thing is the legacy and ongoing sexual exploitation of minors in the entertainment industry, but I don't think that's what OP had in mind

The One Punch Man anime turning into One Frame Man in its third season.

From battles consisting of transparent PNGs sliding from the bottom left to the top right corner of the screen, to ludicrous censoring techniques like replacing a cigarette with a lollipop.

For the fourth season they just inversed the poster from the third season. Tbf it will be actually Season 3 part 2, but it shows they aren't even trying.

Juxtaposed to this is the Dorohedoro anime, that also dropped a new season this year, after six (!) years.

The long wait had a good reason. The animator loves the manga, but was busy working on the Attack on Titan anime and didn't want to rush Dorohedoro's second season. It's a huge improvement over the first season, refining its mix of 3D and 2D hand drawn content into a wonderfully horrifying experience.

I forgot that they made multiple The Hobbit films.

After watching the first one, I mentally erased their existence.

Bill Maher has had a prime television slot since 1993.

That ignorant asshole has been pretending to represent the "left" for 33 years while being a smug reactionary idiot.

The end of Battlestar Galactica.

They literally tied up all the loose threads into a bundle labeled "God did it" and then refused to speculate about God because that's distasteful.

It's sci-fi. You speculate. It's what the genre does.

Lost. I don't even wanna talk about it.
