Incredible that walking dead ended less outrageously than these two

BSG did it first

But I do sometimes wonder if it's better for a show to drag on and on like TWD until it gets canceled because no one is watching it instead of just abruptly ending at peak viewership as quickly as possible and immediately disappointing everyone.

>BSG ending bad
What the fuck? I mean, it was a bit ridiculous, but not outrageously bad. All in all, the plot in BSG was quite ridiculous, the prophecies etc. It went too far in the start and it got quite cringe from time to time. The show would've been much better if it was just cylon vs. humans looking for a place to live (not Earth), no prophecies or religion involved.

That said, would still recommend the show. I avoided it for over a decade, just watched it recently and some episodes were absolute kino and 8/10 all in all.

nah GOT had 2-3 bad seasons that people kept watching because they were 7+ years invested - not a bad ending

The BSG writers admitted they had no plan and that all the buildup and prophecy was a wet fart they didn't actually know how to wrap up.

The Final 5 just creates massive plotholes because them secretly being cylons means they could've defeated humanity multiple times earlier.

GoT's quality dropped significantly in season 2 because D&D stopped simply following the books, but at least it was still decent... until they butchered Robb by making him marry a spunky peasant girl, breaking his vow for no fucking reason

they also forgot armor isn't actually useless, even though this was a major plot point in season 1

Not a huge consumer of anime or manga but this checks out. AoT and Death Note go without saying. The one that sticked the landing the most was FMA:B but I really wasn't awed by the climax. Father, who was a villain lacking in aura and intimidation anyhow, has his big plan undone in like a second and the final fight between him and Eric is so visually bland in that courtyard during daytime.

What is it with Japs and unnecessary exposition? I have only read one manga, Berserk. So many fucking times when Guts is wrecking enemies, it cuts to panels of the crowd commenting on how fast/strong/ferocious etc is he is and how impossible what he's doing is. Or in AoT when Eren rips Bertholdt from the Colossal form. That's a great moment... until we have Bertoldt's internal exposition about Armin being roasted alive was all a distraction for Eren to rip him out of the nape... NO FUCKING SHIT THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON. The exposition ruined that moment.

You can't. The story is too convoluted to tie everything up satisfyingly without leaving any plotholes behind. The author wrote himself into a corner when he made everyone team up against Eren. It could only have ended with Eren dying (which was what we got) which doesn't logically make sense because of his character motives and power level, or it could end with everyone else dying which is a no-no in shonen. In typical Japanese fashion, he took a great story and ruined it in the end because of muh power of friendship and allies,

Many of the classic ones have great endings, think Cowboh Bebop, Evangelion, Utena, Gurren Lagan. The problem is that a lot of mangas overextended themselves, so for example Dragon Ball has a great ending if you stop at the Piccolo or Frieza arcs, but the actual ending is not great.

It's the way their brains and culture work I guess, not just anime. You see it in games as well, Japanese games have one character do the exposition and then the rest of the party goes in turn repeating what was said or agreeing to it with something like "let's do it".

Then the next scene is some character repeating what was said before. In games like Persona 5, you then get a text conversation which is also a repeat of the conversation and things you've heard a million times.

Even reality tv there, has a lot of visuals that show the emotions the audience is meant to feel, and the hosts basically end up saying how the news or whatever should be received.

It's like the Japanese make all their media for 5 year old or amnesiacs.

That and their obsession with anime shit like power levels, royal lineages, small but overpowered characters, constant comic relief and endless shouting, prevents any anime from achieving kino status

(And yes I deliberately repeated a lot of stuff on this post to demonstrate how Japanese get their point across)

I think GoT has been a shoddy adaption since 2012 but with this, they could have softened the blow immeasureably if Jon at least got close enough to duel the NK, and NK actually has a moment of panic when he realises he's outclassed and this man will kill him if it goes on any longer, an actual crack in his smug/imperious facade, and that's when he sticks the hordes of undead on Jon to run away like a bitch and try and murder the creep incel in the wheelchair.

Main character becomes main villain after a time skip and commits a genocide that basically accomplishes nothing, cause he and his people were stuck between a rock and hard place - either die out as a race or genocide the rest of the world. The writer cucked the fuck out by having Eren only kill 80% as part of some ebin plan he has to make his friends and people look like heroes by stopping him but it amounts to nothing because their people/home still get eradicated a few generations later and common fucking sense dictates that that 20% remainer (so 200 mil people vs. 1 million) are going to get revenge someday. Also the action becomes like the Avengers and he inserts a romance between Eren and this girl that is nonsensical cause they had never been a romantic item prior so it's totally incongruent with the story when that occurrs. Lots of smaller stuff pissed people off too - it was death by a thousand cuts before a headshot

There's some bullshit where Eren wasn't free because Ymir needed to specifically see Mikasa kiss Eren's severed head to move on, but it's extremely contrived and betrays everything established in the Paths chapters where Eren "frees" Ymir (except Mikasa actually freed her in the final chapter lol lmao)

But even outside of that the way the characters react to Eren is fucking retarded. Pic related.

That's just a consequence of the medium. You basically spend several months writing your first arc before presenting it so you can get picked up and avoid the axe of the magazine you're being published in. Then you just have to keep the fucking goose chase going for years and years without a certain timeframe of when to end it. You can't end the story when you want to, you have to end it when the publisher demands it end, which could be whenever.

Unironically read Bakuman, where the author of Death Note rants about the manga industry at length and explains why he hates the ending of his own manga.

You can really see it with Death Note and Dexter. In Death Note they protagonist goes from just a normal moral smart person that wants to kill bad guys to a person with a god complex who wants to be worshiped in like 5 episodes, in a cheap attempt to show us that he turned evil and we shouldn't like him. Meanwhile in Dexter, the protagonist who kills bad people cause of his genetic disposition to murder and psychopathy, gets crazy luck due to plot armor and never has to kill innocents cause they want us to root for the guy that actually brings change to the world.

It’s not a happy ending, but what we got in canon wasn’t better either since the lesson most retards can take away the lesson of “hm maybe we should’ve killed the outside world so this wouldn’t have happened” instead of “maybe don’t let a jingoistic faction take charge of a country everybody already hates to begin with.”

I feel that's most of it, but it's so hard to avoid in television since writers usually can't be sure how many seasons they're going to get so they make shit up as they go from season to season. Plus even if a show's creator has a good ending in mind, if the studio is making bank they'll just fire them so they can stretch the show out and zombify it with the hack writers they bring in as replacements.

I don't know why execs would do this. There's far more money to be made in the long run from licensing and royalties rather than just selling a bunch of seasons in the short term. I think of shows like That 70s Show, Friends, Breaking Bad and even the Office that get rerun so much and have become such cultural centerpoints the studios can just license them out indefinitely and make money. I feel as if viewers can forgive a lukewarm ending but they cannot forgive a bad one because it makes the time investment that much worse. Nobody would remember Breaking Bad if it wasn't tightly written and had a illogical endpoint.
