Ruined from the start?

Man, Meteos just became terrible when they added the big planet that's trying to blow up all of the other planets! It would've been a great game about alien life otherwise.

Devil May Cry started out really solid...but they just had to make Dante the protagonist.

Paper Mario: The Origami King was a neat little story about a cute origami character trying to stop her evil brother from folding the entire world . . . but they just had to shoehorn Mario into it, didn’t they?

• Seinfeld seemed promising when it focuses on Jerry's stand-up and it should have kept it that way. I don't want to watch these people called George, Elaine and Kramer, they seem like total assholes

Mother was ruined from the start, because you don't actually play as a mother.

Team Fortress 2 had a lot of promise, the change in design raised questions, but I let it slide. And then there's these goofy, cartoonish mercenaries. That right there is what killed it for me.

TV Tropes was ruined as soon as it stopped being about Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Friday the 13th was a great movie until they shoehorned in a psycho killer into a perfectly good College Vacation movie...

Jem and the Holograms was ruined the moment they added the hologram-projecting supercomputer and the 80s synth pop bands into the perfectly good soap opera about a girl trying to stop her dad's ex-business partner from seizing control of her father's estate.

And don't get me started on Kidd Video. They should have never added the evil cat-controlling fat man and the alternate dimension into the perfectly good sitcom about a ragtag rock band made out of teenagers.

Portal could have done without the snarky AI, to be honest. She ruined an otherwise great physics simulator featuring portals with her incessant snarks. Good thing you get to kill her in the end.

Portal 2 is even worse, though, because not only is the snarky AI back, but there's also an idiotic AI, an egotistical AI, an AI that just won't shut up, and a ditzy AI. All of them are annoying. Just let me have fun with my portals!

The Dragon Prince was ruined when they killed off Thunder. I wanted to see a badass dragon king and his interesting dynamics with his son, but nope, can't have any of that.

.EXE 2 was fucking awful from the start. I mean, who on earth is interested in an anime catgirl making a stupid virus?

Samurai Jack was such a letdown. The fact that big demon guy sent that samurai in the future just when he was about to win was the ultimate middle finger to the audience.

Riverdale was ruined even before it premiered—it was all an attempt by J. J. Abrams to adapt Archie Comics to live-action in time for its 75th anniversary. Then Abrams' lifelong dream got ruined when ABC deemed it a misfit and The CW picked it up instead, and he bolted out of the project for "financial reasons". It even came at the expense of one of its stars, as her other drama got renewed for a second season.

Someone ALWAYS has to interrupt the tournament in The King of Fighters. We just simply can't have a good old fashioned tournament fighter anymore. Oh, and screw the bosses. How are people supposed to beat these?!

I like Breaking Bad back when it was about a guy with an RV, but it completely went to shit when he started making meth.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power was good up until they gave Adora that OP sword and all kinds of other magic on a silver platter. What, are Badass Normal main characters not good enough any more? And don't get me started on her leaving the Horde.

(NGL, Riverdale left a bad taste in my mouth too).

Iron Man started off good, but once Tony Stark makes his suit, forget about it...

I thought Yakuza 0 would be about, you know, yakuza. Not karaoke, darts, or any of those dumbass minigames. Also, what the hell were they thinking when making this moralistic dweeb in Kiryu and this over-the-top loser in Majima?

I liked Undertale as a whole. It has engaging characters and addicting gameplay fusing the classic RPG with Bullet Hell, but did they really have to shove a Karma Meter system into this game? Just let me play the game how I want to! You literally get called out for playing the game like a regular RPG! It's like the game is making fun of their own audience!

Sons of Anarchy used to be a nice show about an expectant father trying to find the right gift, but then they just had to make him part of a criminal motorcycle gang.

Lord of the Rings was great until they added the rings. They really took away from the plot and the deep, detailed lore.

Danny Phantom was great until he started fighting those ghosts.

I was loving Dragon Quest XI . . . up until when they revealed he was the reincarnation of the Luminary. Can you get any more derivative?
