I’ve probably heard of some but can’t think of any.
I’ll say… Star Wars, The Simpsons, the Xanth novels, superhero movies, Pokémon and Naruto.
The Vikings TV show went on wayyyyyy too long. It should have ended when
Tap for spoiler
Ragnar’s kids were celebrating avenging him. At the table, before one of them kills the other.
As a south park fan, I’m not excited for new episodes
I was until recently. It’s not south park time. You cant really take the piss out of the happenings in USA without looking like a political cartoon in a newspaper, and you cant just ignore it and focus on other stuff or you look complicit.
I love south park and want more, but now is not the time.
The last batch of 10 episodes, I only rewatched 2 of them after all 10 came out. Barely remember the rest.
The Matrix.
The first film was perfect as a standalone.
The Simpsons.
Winnie the pooh: blood and honey. The first one should never have existed and the second one didnt improve on anything.
I’m not even going to check if this is a real thing or not, because I feel like I’d be disappointed either way.
The trademark for winnie the pooh expired so now anyone can use it to make stuff like this.
TV shows that went on too long:
- House of cards
- The Walking Dead
- The X-Files
- Homeland
- Westworld
Movie franchises that went on too long:
- Jaws
- Alien
- The Terminator
- Predator
- The Amityville horror
- jurassic Park
- The Pirates of the Caribbean
- Rocky was on this list until creed came out and now creed has gone on too long
Book series that went on too long
- The wheel of Time
- The Earth’s children
I’m glad Alien pushed through the terrible middle, now we have Romulus and Alien Earth.
Both of those are trash…
The wheel of Time
Seriously. I gave up on that series at book 5 when the author hadn’t resolved a single major plot point yet.
Yeah, I bailed in book 4. I never finished it. It was the same Storystructure. I mean I loved it, but it was just going nowhere. The gang gets broken up into Subgroups and then then it’s an escort mission.
Kurtzman Trek
Weeds. It should have ended after season 3.
Magic:the Gathering. The 2018ish takeover by FIRE Design destroyed my favorite TCG. Its all power creep and external franchises that have nothing to do with fantasy.
- Halo
- Halo
- Halo
- (definite answer pending) Halo
Halo infinite was actually good though
I beg to differ, I may concede on its multiplayer (because I played it for a few hours when it released, then got bored) but the campaign is a nothingburger filled with clichés.
The best thing people say about it is that “it went back to its roots”: except for a few references here and there and the Mark VI armor, nahhhhhhhh.I may concede on its multiplayer I’ll agree the multiplayer was bad, I feel like campaign games adapted into competitive multiplayer games just don’t work that well.
Ok I realise I am writing this with very little experience in campaign shooters but it is the most interesting one I have played, I played it 2 and a half times and never been bored. While I have played doom (2016) which is relatively repetitive and uninteresting. Gears 5 is so bad I was revealed after my friend who I was playing the campaign with accidently deleted the files, I’m still not sure weather he did it on purpose or not.
Dang I guess that’s were my campaign shooter experience ends.
The Walking Dead and Top Gear
The Belgarion novels by David Eddings. It would have done well as a trilogy, but the initial five-book series was OK as well. And then came The Malloreon, or The Quest for More Money. I finished it because I’ve got a bit of a completionist streak, but not because it was good.
And then I found out what kind of person Eddings was.
Family Guy easily. Everything after the point where Brian was killed off and revived is basically a ‘Kill me’ cry at this point with how sadistic it’s gotten since that point; it’s like that show is begging to be put out of its misery.
Pokemon doesn’t count because they recently retired Ash and brought on a new lead character in his place, and they’re actually trying to branch out more lately with spinoffs such as Pokemon Concierge, which that spinoff is adorable from what little I’ve seen of it, btw.
Spongebob also needs to end just out of respect for its dead creator. Like, if Nick had any respect for Hillenberg’s wishes, which if I’m remembering this right, he wanted no spinoffs of Spongebob, they should’ve just ended that show after he died and left it alone from there, what they’re doing with that IP is basically pissing on the guy’s grave.
Edit: Going back to Pokemon spinoffs, I’d love to see the existence of sort of a Pokemon ‘Busytown’ although that’s not something I’d actively seek out, because that would be ridiculously adorable as a concept, ditto for taking ‘Pokemon Art Academy’ and turning it into sort of an animated ‘Art Attack’ counterpart, how Nintendo didn’t try that, I will never know as it would’ve been genius on their part.
Family guy is still releasing new episodes???
Yeah, it’s in its 24th season currently. Even King of the Hill got a revival although IMO it ended fine. That said, the circumstances under which that show ended have come into question before as some have speculated it was killed to make room for more Family Guy spinoffs such as the failed Cleveland Show.
Family Guy should never have been uncancelled.
Another way to look at it, is Brian should’ve just stayed dead if his revived form is the most unlikable piece of garbage you can possibly imagine a character to be.
Marble Hornets.
Also, One Punch Man, because he hardly ever does anything!
